[Xandyr]

Ablative and DNA Siphon are too good of powers to skip. With Ablative, not only is it a heal, but it gives you an Absorb "shield". DNA Siphon, likewise, is a Heal, a damaging power, adds End to you, and does -Regen to all it hits. IMO I wouldn't even think about running Bio without these 2 powers.

added correct build

[Sovera]

As Xandyr said you've somehow managed to skip both on your heal and your endurance clickies. Might of the Tanker works better in a single target power than on an aura.

 

 

Anyway, here is what I would do. Don't be put off by the 78% resists to S/L since it goes to 84% with a second stack from the tanker ATO in Radioactive Smash, and then 89% with Barrier and 90% when your HP drops to 90% HP. Any content you don't need Barrier is not hard enough to warrant 90% to begin with and the same with defenses that go to 45% with Barrier (same reasoning as above).

 

I sacrificed Combat Jumping and the 7.5% recharge that go with it for Physical Perfection to balance taking Focused Accuracy which is a must with any content that blinds and/or debuffs accuracy, but in practical terms in a team you might find being blinded or debuffed is not a problem since your team will deal with the things that would be a major roadblock if soloing. So Xandyr's option of using Gloom to improve the damage is also good.

 

I just prefer being self sufficient and three attacks are enough (Devastating, Radioactive Smash, Radiation Siphon, Radioactive Smash. Repeat. Pre-Devastating Blow it's Radiation Siphon, Contaminated Strike, Radioactive Smash, Contaminated Strike. Repeat), but Gloom is pretty strong so taking out Physical Perfection and FA to bring back Combat Jumping and Gloom just needs some reshuffling of slots.

Appreciate the shout out @Sovera. 

Not only is Gloom a good ranged attack, it opens up for Darkest Night, which debuffs enemy damage by 30% and debuffs their To Hit by 22.79% (how I have it slotted). I figured To Hit Debuffs are always nice 😎

 

OTOH, I did run at one time Focused Accy and Physical Perfection. The added To Hit, ACCY, and +Perception is always welcomed. Physical Perfection also becomes a great spot to drop a few Procs in. Can't really go wrong with either way you go.

[ZemX]

I'm surprised PhysPerf would be needed on a Bio, though I'm not to 50 yet with mine (and it's Staff so less end hungry than RadM).  I am so addicted to CJ for combat mobility, I think I'd probably only use FA situationally and drop into Efficient Mode if I had to.

 

But that's a lot of recovery already.  The usual procs in health/stamina.  Inexhaustible with another PerfShifter (and great EndDrain resist).  DNA Siphon with Theft of Essence.  And still as a last resort to all that, Efficient Mode.

 

I've not needed it on my Rad/Rad at least, though RadA has admittedly slightly better recovery even than Bio, so maybe not a good comparison either.

[SeraphimKensai]

Just saw this thread and immediately had the thought "Why the hell haven't I paired Bio and Read Melee together yet?"

 

I'd make sure to work in an Achilles proc as well.

We read just fine, but we also drink, and these little phones are so fragile that pushing the button can easily smash the glass and then it's tougher to read.

I know this is a bit of mild thread necromancy, but seeing as my first homecoming character was a Bio/Rad tanker, I decided to go ahead and bump this and sing the praises of Bio/Rad.

 

The theme I had in mind was to sort of have enemies melt while they try to fight back against a very diverse (but carefully managed) primary set.  I really enjoy being able to changes modes to fit the situation, and getting that extra bit of oomph when you don't need to be in full turtle mode.  Rad melee has an easy to manage attack chain but the real star of the show is irradiated ground.

 

Now, as of posting this, it's been toned down (it used to proc like crazy, causing things to just disintegrate around my Tanker) but it remains just an amazing enemy control toggle.

 

Much of the stuff on Homecoming was and still is new to me, including anything involving Going Rogue and Praetorians.  I had no idea what I was in for in one of the missions that sent me there, and found myself fighting 3 AV Avatars of Hamidon at once.  Set to +3

 

They melted.  Slowly, true, but they still died.  I consider being able to survive 3 AVs and actually still kill them to be pretty solid.

Tbh nowadays it's all about loading up on procs, minimal nod towards defenses, then take Gloom and Dark Obliteration.

As Xandyr said you've somehow managed to skip both on your heal and your endurance clickies. Might of the Tanker works better in a single target power than on an aura.

 

 

Anyway, here is what I would do. Don't be put off by the 78% resists to S/L since it goes to 84% with a second stack from the tanker ATO in Radioactive Smash, and then 89% with Barrier and 90% when your HP drops to 90% HP. Any content you don't need Barrier is not hard enough to warrant 90% to begin with and the same with defenses that go to 45% with Barrier (same reasoning as above).

 

I sacrificed Combat Jumping and the 7.5% recharge that go with it for Physical Perfection to balance taking Focused Accuracy which is a must with any content that blinds and/or debuffs accuracy, but in practical terms in a team you might find being blinded or debuffed is not a problem since your team will deal with the things that would be a major roadblock if soloing. So Xandyr's option of using Gloom to improve the damage is also good.

 

I just prefer being self sufficient and three attacks are enough (Devastating, Radioactive Smash, Radiation Siphon, Radioactive Smash. Repeat. Pre-Devastating Blow it's Radiation Siphon, Contaminated Strike, Radioactive Smash, Contaminated Strike. Repeat), but Gloom is pretty strong so taking out Physical Perfection and FA to bring back Combat Jumping and Gloom just needs some reshuffling of slots.

Nice build @Sovera! Could you swap out hover and fly for combat and super jump and slot exactly the same (preferred travel power)? Assume barrier destiny?

Sure, should be the end result. Mind that Radiation Melee is a bit anemic these days what with the change made to Irradiated Ground. That skill did a good portion of the lifting.
