Melee Defender Game

[Ankhammon]

From time to time I hear someone say they want to run a Melee version of a defender.

I've wanted this for some time myself, so I decided to come up with a melee char on my own. I came up with a Time/Rad using pool powers for the melee smash.

 

Can you guys come up with a better combo?

 

The only rule is ranged powers are for the primary and not the secondary. 🙂

 

 

What do you think of this one?

I enjoy playing my Rad/Rad in melee, the -def from Irradiate synergizes nicely with Choking Cloud.   I still have ranged blasts as well in my build, but I'm often found right in the thick of melee.
