Street Justice and Rad build needed (Statesgirl)

I don't wanna get buried under all the other posts getting answers.  I really need a hand here.

First: That costume is excellent.

 

Can't speak for SJ, but for Rad Armour... it's a very good set with a mixture of regen, recharge and damage resistance and absorb. There are a few click powers that enormously add to your sustain and I would say that all the powers are worth taking, although Meltdown is low priority in my opinion.

 

While levelling, slot all your resistance powers 3DamRes, 1 EndRed and try to keep them on all the time.

 

Put 3 EndMod in Gamma Boost. Beta Decay is worth slotting for -ToHit, for some extra defence. Keep it running at all times for the taunt aura and you'll be fine as main tank but lose out to Tankers and Kheldians in Dwarf form (which I think is true of most brute builds as Khelds can sustain AoE taunts more easily from a lower level - they're probably about even by about 35-40).

 

Particle Shielding is outstanding but buffs things at different lengths... slot it first for recharge and pop it up every time it refreshes. It is a game-changer in terms of survivability. It basically gives you extra hit points through Absorb and ups your endurance recharge.

 

You have two heals - one for you, one for your allies. Both work as okay heals on their own, but the self-heal also recharges endurance and they both do fairly wide AoE damage over time. The ally heal is on a fairly long timer, but it's also a team-saver so train your teammates to hang out in melee range. I've been the main healer with my rad brute in missions (with a good array of support, just not much healing).

 

Meltdown is a bit of a damage and survivability boost, with the downside that it tanks your endurance recharge at the end. It's worth taking eventually, but it's not a must-have-immediately, in my opinion.

 

Like all resistance sets, it benefits from dipping into the power pools for some more defence. I think combat jumping is really good on a brute because it allows you to jump in and out of groups of mobs fairly easily. Weave is worthwhile, too.

 

By level 50, you'll have two more build slots and a lot of respecs saved up, so don't worry too much about min-maxing your levelling build, but this should hopefully help get you there. You can make a new build for enhancement set bonuses at 50 in one of the other slots.

Also keep an eye out for enhancement sets that give you psionic resist as that's the major hole in rad.

 

The Ghost Widow patron pool for Darkest Night toggle is a really good pairing as well.

Thanks, Gulbasaur.  I'm quite fond of her costume.

 

Just to clarify, she's already a 50 I'm just looking for a Pain's hero builder layout for her end game build.  Got about $200 mill stashed so I wanna get started.

 

 

Gulbasaur, here's what she looks like in Champions

I could really use some help with stj/rad as well.  I'm at lvl 24 and I feel completely useless fully IO'd

While not a Brute build, I did build a Scrapper using these sets perhaps you could use most of this as a guide.
