Rad/Kin Build critique needed

POST-ACTION

So I have decided to dig out my old Rad/Kin Corrupter and needs some ideas on where to go with his build. I really want him to have some good survive-ability because I tend to get over-excited and bite off more than I can chew with mobs at times.... At the same time, I don't want to sacrifice too much and make the toon boring to play or not as effective in teaming. Radiation Blast/Kinetics users help me out here

To me, you really aren't getting a lot of "Bang for your Buck" with Melt Armor. The numbers are pretty bad in the Epics. I'd consider ditching it for either Fire Ball (more AoE goodness) or Incinerate (More close range damage).

Otherwise, you really don't need anything else.

Cool, thanks. I started building this before I hit 50. Since I slotted my purples I haven't had much trouble with the aggro or taking damage.

I seem to aggro a good bit and take some damage, so I was thinking about building some Defense into my plant/fire. I have the money for the purples, what do you think?

I tend to not use Consume, Insinerate or Combustion all that often so I past them up in favor of the Fighting Pool... any other suggestions to help out?

Plant/Fire Build critique

POST-ACTION

I put 3 hami-o's, Nucleolus Exposure, 2 recharge IO's and Impeded Swiftness: Chance of smashing damage into creepers. I read that on here before and like how it works.

I decided that when I respec next I am building in some defense/resistance, specifically ranged and AoE. I seem to aggro a good bit and don't always hit everything with all the AoE on my plant/fire. Might just be my playing style though.

I love rain of fire, use the Positron's Blast proc

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the City of Heroes Support Team.

An Arch-villain or Hero is intended to be a very difficult enemy to defeat and take longer to defeat than normal bosses. In most situations, a team will be needed to defeat an Arch-villain or Hero of the same level. At this time, all Arch-villains and Heroes in the game are working as designed. We strongly recommend going to the forums as there is wealth of player based knowledge on the best strategies for Arch-villains and Heroes.

You can reach the City of Heroes or City of Villains message boards at http://boards.cityofheroes.com or http://boards.cityofvillains.com. Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
GM Harris

Windows: Weakened Hamidon mending mitochondria cannot be damaged at all-- three controllers on the team and we can\st make a dent. i understand this was intentional??

So, is this really due to be fixed, or is this overamplified "weakened" Hami working as intended?

It bugs me that they direct you to the boards but won't even site a specific thread. General responses like that lead me to believe that the complaint is not being read or taken seriously.
