Any /rad builds out there?

[KelvinKole]

I'm interested in trying stalker version 2.0 but have no experience building one. I rolled sj/rad and ran some DFB's; liking it so far.

 

Does anyone have a good /rad build with shadow meld?

[Gulbasaur]

I have Rad Armour on my brute, and the skills are all pretty good, to be honest. It's a compromise between Regeneration and a more traditional armour set. It makes up for the slightly low resistances with very high endurance and health regen and a very good heal (it's a damage AoE that recharges health and endurance - what's not to love?). Particle Shielding is absolutely excellent as it gives you Absorb and a huge END regen boost. Gamma Boost is worth slotting for EndMod while levelling as it helps you keep all your toggles on.

 

You may want to take Weave and/or Combat Jumping for a defence boost.

 

The only power I don't think is excellent is Meltdown, and that's just because it's a bit generic.

 

There are two heals that do AoE damage - one for you, one for your allies. Be careful with them if you don't want to pick up too much aggro, but it's nice being able to prevent a wipe by healing your allies for 300HP in the middle of battle and then watching your enemies all fall over because of it.

I run /rad in pvp.  I think it's cute for a few reasons:

 

1. Gamma boost: A second auto health/stamina, can be slotted for those auto +hp/+end procs too.

2. Particle shielding: A built in hoarfrost (+hp shield) in the set.  Fully slotted it gives me about +600 hp in pvp.  It's uptime is 1 minute and with easy slotting its recharge is 1 min so its always up. 

3. Meltodown (T9 ult): I believe this is the only ult that gives +dmg for a full minute.  Additionally, unlike most T9's, there is no endurance drain when it crashes, it only give -recovery, so you can keep fighting honestly.

 

With easy slotting both shadow meld and particle shielding have 1 minute recharges.  So you can have more hp and +def while looking like a shadow!

Does anyone know if ground zero will critical hit from hide?

[Justisaur]

It isn't a pseudo pet as far as I can tell, so it should crit.  You'd have to test it to be sure though.  I love rad armor on my brute, but was hesitant to try it on a stalker because it's more a resist set, that and I already have it on my favorite brute.

[KelvinKole]

Alright so I've been working on this a bit today and need someone more familiar with stalkers, and melee archetypes really, than me to review and tweak.

 

What I want:

Softcapped type based defense when Shadow Meld is up, roughly 50% of the time.

Capped resistance to smash/lethal all the time would be nice.

Capped resistance to as many damage types as possible when meltdown is up. Rad has a pretty good sized hole to fire/cold resistance and those two are likely going to be short
