Hey Defenders. I just made a Kin/Rad guy and I'm very unsure about a lot of the abilities I should be taking/avoiding, what I should be slotting or focusing on, etc. Anyone have a basic leveling build plan for use with SOs? Any IO sets that are absolutely essential that I can start picking up early?

Hey COH forums. After a few years of durdling on this game off and on, I decided to pick up VIP and start doing the real endgame stuff.

FWIW, my character is Spines/Fire.

For incarnate slots, are there preferred abilities for each slot for scrappers or is it preference? Do you still do Musculature in Alpha even if you don't have defense debuffs/immobilization abilities to benefit from it? What do I want in other slots?

For IO sets, do I just want to grab all the melee damage sets? Mix of melee damage, PBAOE, and defense? Are there any sets with bonuses/stats I don't want to miss? Are there any caps I really need to hit? For this assume my budget is fairly low.

Thanks.
