Help with Willpower/Radiation-Melee Build

[Morienda]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm a relatively new player and I struggle quite a bit to find an optimal build for my playstyle. I'm currently playing a willpower/radiation-melee tank who just turned 50, and I think I feel like it's time to come up with a good I/O build.

 

Below is the what I'm currently thinking of using, which I hope to be extremely durable for a wide-range of content, but still do enough damage to be survivable. Hopefully, it's not frowned upon to post builds like this asking for advise, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the level of complexity to the point where  I've been spending the last few days staring at MIDs continually tweaking things rather then playing the game. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.

I'll just quickly adapt from the other WP build I just posted. Same warning I'm not a WP expert, but also same deal, 'low' S/L resists will be upped by the proc in Radioactive Smash. I suggest Barrier with 120 seconds to give the last 5% to defense and 5% to resists. 81 HP regen with one mob in range. Because of this I did not frankenslot Siphon's heal and its 'just' going to heal 375 HP per use. Remember you can force these heals with Fusion.
