OK, enabled notifications for any comments on the build as I have my own Ice/Rad and at lvl 20 so thing I like the combo, so it's time to plan getting to 50.

I'll load your build in Pine's as it's easier to read than on the forums.

 

What did you focus on to guide you in the build?

Sadly Force of Will power pool was never finished and is not in the game, so you'll have to make some changes.

 

Also Accelerate metabolism is an awesome power that is a highlight of /rad I wouldn't skip it.

Any thoughts on ice storm? At lvl22 I think it's really a useful power.

 

Ice storm and the corrupter inherent scourge work wonderfully together... I always take it. Ice Blast has nice single target but if you open with breath of frost then drop ice storm you can get some decent AoE.

Yeah, really interesting, you went about your build a lot differently than my approach, which is the beauty of this game.

 

My ice/rad is till a baby (22 I think) but I'm really enjoying the single target hold/damage and the ice storm and AM is like an extra SO of recharge in every one of your powers, more endurance, and 20% more damage. My first though is that I want to make it perma.

 

I'm still working through some of the enhancements sets but here is my current planned choice of powers. I want this character to be a hoverer about the battle field but I want Rune of Protection (to alternate with the Hybrid +Resist) so that at high levels I have almost perma high resist. Stealth is as an LoTG mule although I may consider putting stealth in mystic flight to stack. I am focusing on single target damage but can't seem to give up ice storm for AoE/debuff capabilities.

I may add grant invisibility as another LoTG mule depending on where I get with bonuses.

After Rchg, I will liekly focus on resits and regen for set bonuses

 

I'm not sure what Epic, if any to tale, I intend for this character to stay range and most corruptor epics have PBAoE (same reaosn why I didn't take choking cloud)

Comments welcome. It's been along time since my Ill/Rad and Ice/Cold so I ,ay forget something important about the powers I haven't yet tried out in game.

While I love to team, this is my one character I want to be able to solo, and some most of my other characters tend to be AoE friendly and solo 8x I want something different and hopefully be able to solo AVs

 

Not that it won't be team friendly, who should say no to perma AV and neutered mobs?

OK, here is the next installment of my build plan (remember I'm still at 22, working on a scrapper at the moment)

 

The goal was to get AM perma, and at 50 it's ready 5s before it has expired (I don't knows if AM from the same caster stacks, I'm not goingto count on it). Most of my +Rchg his early in the build so I think you are there or close to it in the 30s

Hasten is one second off perma

 

Between the set bonuses and AM recovery and regen are about 240% but I probably need to refine things around to either focus on def or resist to give the regen time to work.

 

The Epic pool choice is tentative, I do like the idea of boosting damage with power RoPand FoN could alternate with Rune of Protection (instead of in addition to the Hybrid resit). I like the idea of PBU in addition to Aim to boost my damage and with so much recharge it's available often. I originally intended to take Temp Invul but I had not realized it was S/L only.

 

Grant Invis is more a mule for LoTG but it can still be useful, althoguh I wish I could take another pool and take combat jump instead. it can still slot an LoTG but makes Hover better (that's not intuitive).

 

I have quite a bit of accuracy both in powers and bonuses. Maybe it's too much with my /rad debuf? On the other hand want to eat purple foes for breakfast.

Picked up some movement speed increase along the way, useful for faster hover.

 

If I need a slot somewhere once I reach 50 I might slot RI with 3 Enzyme Hami-Os

 

 

I'm happy with it on paper as a place to start. Fell free to let me know if you see anything wrong or have idead on how to improve. The focus really was on perma AM with high resit through RoP and FoN

I may try and give it a shot at getting a build with highish defense, especially range and AoE since I should be table to evade a lot baddies.

 

The ATO have nices bonsues and I made it a havit to pick them up on my builds, even thogh I shy away from purples.  Universal Damage Overwhelming Force are easy to get right now, but I didn't think it would benefit this build.

Sorry for the typoes above, posting from my phone.

I should have mentioned that the level enhancements are placed above are "random" while I work with the build. The orders of powers taken is real though. I took Enervating Field later than in the previous build. It's an endurance hog and it's easier to use once you have access to SOs or higher regular IOs.

 

I also need to check if I broke the "rule of 5" for bonuses sets. I forgot to check.

Talking to myself in this thread. Oh well might be worth documenting the thought process. I just realized that Acrane Bolt had over a 2s activation. That's definitely a drawback. I'm going to have to try it in person and decide. I like the idea of a other hold and KB for mitigation but Frost Breath is not a bad power and if the Arcane Bolt animation bugs me I may take it back again.

I shall reply for the pure notion to inspire you to continue.

 

Recently I've peeked into making another main (amongst my 35+ others) and  a Cold/Rad has nabbed my interest so I shall continue to watch here to see how your build develops.  I'm not one to make builds myself, my mind isn't suited to knowing which skills could be causing me issues so thanks for this thread.
