I have taken various ideas from different builds I've seen and have mashed them together into something that is working well for me, I wish I could remember when I found the original build that I used as a baseline, because I would like to give the original poster credit, but I can't seem to find the post.  Apologies if he/she see's similarities.  I didn't intentionally slight you.

 

I have some questions about whether this is the optimal way to slot Irriadiated Ground and Ground Zero.  One of the two powers need to carry 5 pieces of Superior Avalanche.  Also, I currently have an accuracy in place of the Force Feedback proc in Radioactive Smash.  Will loosing the Accuracy IO still allow it to hit reliably on +4 content?  Will the proc fire often enough to be worth it or should I just keep the accuracy?

 

I currently have this completely slotted at level 49, minus thee following:  Armageddon, catalyzed Winter sets, and the last two slots of Weave and final slot of CJ.  It functions really well at all levels I've exemp'ed down for but really hits its stride and lvl 30+ content.

 

Also, I've not given much thought to Incarnates yet.  Suggestions?  Musculature, Reactive/Degenerative, Ion, Ageless and Assault would be my instinct.

Did a little shuffling, its the same build same sets which you said you had most of so it won't cost any more than you planned. Should have much better acc for +4's. You will want that ff+rech proccing as often as possible in Rad Smash. I prefer running with gloom and dark oblit but i can see the need for the enfeebled set in fences if your chasing s/l/melee def. Rad melee still feels awkward to me and theres very little control in the set so when things go bad they go bad very quickly. I still love rad/rad but find myself on ss/rad much more. Rad armr is tons of fun on brutes. Not sure its worth slotting 2 achilles procs in but its not hard to swap one out for a lady grey chance for neg dmg:

[Fatal Tech]

Thanks, I'll give this a look later tonight when I can pull up on my laptop.  Just glancing over, I notice you shifted some enhancements into Maneuvers.  I dont actually run Maneuvers unless I'm exemp'ed down because at 50 I soft cap without.  I've played the build I posted quite a bit the past few days and I've been very pleased.  It's very versatile.  I've still not slotted the Forced Feedback proc into Smash, because I've been worried about the accuracy, so I'll be curious to see how you added additional.

 

I still don't know if Irradiated Ground is optimized, but I have really liked the KD proc from Avalanche in Ground Zero.  Putting an entire group on their back to kick things off is very nice, as a lot of minions never get a shot off.

 

I appreciate the response.  Looking forward to further improvements.  I think Rad/Rad deserves more love than it gets on Brutes.  It has been a beast in S/L farms (not the reason I built it) and it's more versatile in regular content that an /Fire brute will ever be.
