Any /rad builds out there?

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'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?

 

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!

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.

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
