Fire/Rad advice

This is very much a side project but I had to make him because he fights my character in DOulos' stories. So, any power advice guys?

Oh and where can I find a villain planner?

You are going to run out of power picks

I'd say decide early on if you want PvP or PvP and single target or AoE.

There isn't really a bad power in the rad set - even choking cloud has its uses(now) and is suitably villainous. The two main debuffs are much more useful in PvE than PvP and also for AoE...

Fire I tend to go AoE - skip flares, it is pants.
Once you have a slow (lingering rad in your case) Slow+rain of fire + fireball + fire breath = silly. Make friends with a dominator with a decent AoE immobilise/hold for extra evil. I always used to skip Rain of Fire in CoH as it normally just splits mobs up. Coupled with a decent hold/slow, it is pure unmitigated evil. The teamwork it used to require was a pain, but since corruptors provide both sides of the equation...

You will learn to hate the few mobs with massive fire resists, as you dont have another damage type to hit them with.... slot brawl or pick up one other attack (Air Sup/Jump Kick is good for this).

and Joe Chott's hero planner also does villains...

I agree, Rad Infection is very much asap!!

Rad infection is definitely a must

3 slot for acc debuff and smack it down on a mob then laugh as they fail to hit anything

or better yet, wonder into a PVP zone hit a controller with it and watch as he fails to do anything

I must be doing something wrong. I haven't taken Fire Breath yet and only took Enervating Field at L24 (but to be honest could live without it - the best form of damage reduction is lingering radiation)

Not sure about choking cloud either, will have to see where it will fit
