I can't be 100%, however im almost positive its been done before. However, instead of wasting alot of money on damage bonuses, I recomend stacking recharge to where AM and Hasten become permanent, then picking up Assault. Manaing that will get you +40% or so damage at all times on its own.

we'll see how cost effective that is, i haven't quite figured out how folks make hundreds of millions in this game yet, i usually end up around 50mil for a lvl50 ish toon. and i was hoping the +dam recipes would be cheaper then the +rech.
but getting AM as close to perma has always been part of the plan, how can it not be? AM is the green glowie goodnes that i can't live without 
since it doesn't seem like anyone here has a build to share for this, i will attempt to muddle my way through it, and when i'm done i'll post it and let you guys know how it worked out.
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

Here.
Maybe here.
Or here.
And definitely here.
TL;DR version: Buy a recipe for a million, salvage for a million, craft and sell for five million. If you don't know what to buy, look at what you're buying for yourself and see if you can make money buying two of them, crafting and selling the other.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
One really important tip I can give you for any Rad in the late-game IO slotting game: Lockdown. Put it in Choking Cloud. Not the whole set. Two End Redux, Two Holds, The Lockdown End/Rech/Hold, and the Lockdown Proc (+2 Hold Mag).
I cannot tell you how often this will save your [censored] in the middle of spawns with bosses in it. Even the slight respite that 15% chance for an 11 second hold gives you can be a godsend versus pesky bosses, and that slotting will nearly max the effective endRdx and Hold Time that you get.
For the extra recharge you'll need, I highly recommend things like Red Fortune. You can slot it in pool powers like Combat Jumping and Stealth, and it's quite cheap to build.
Since you want pure damage, I'm going to guess you're going with Dark Mastery Epic Pool. Forget slotting accuracy in Soul Drain, instead use 3 damage and 3 recharge, and you'll be able to start nearly every engagement with it. An extra AoE on a Rad/Rad is always sweet.
For IO Sets, the Achilles' Heel procs are good; however they're only a 20% chance for the increased damage output. That means you need to get five attacks every ten seconds, on average, to keep it up all the time. This is only really feasible if your attack chain is Neutrino Bolt. However, you can keep it up MOST of the time, if your attack chain, like mine, consists of Irradiate/Neutron Bomb/Cosmic Burst most of the time, you will get one cycle and start another within the 10s time limit.
Hey DodgerTA! Nice seeing you´re still with us, I was wondering that as there´s no new update to you guide since I10. I must say it helped me A LOT in the building of my Rad/Rad. Would like to see an updated version of it when you can... :-) And you play on Justice, wonder why we never met...

ok i figured i could get my rad/rad up to some serious damage with the correct power choices and slotting.
with EF doing it's magic, AM's 30% or so damage bonus, the achilies heel proc in most of my attacks, and assault running i coud pump out some decent def damage. question is (i'm an IO newb) has anyone built io sets for +damage as the main focus, and if so, could you provide an idiot with a simple guide?
and if anyone HAS done this, how does it work out?
