Where is that bloke who was on about Defenders being rubbish, I will so prove to him that NO controller can do what a Rad Rad can do.
[/ QUOTE ]Yeh, they can do it better because the debuffs are SLIGHTLY worse but trollers have pets, controls and Containement... 
Quick comments ....
Rad Aura - replace a recharge with end red, this sucker is expensive to use!
Rad Infection - ugh ... x3 tohit debuff 1x def debuff, 1 end red, 1 rec red.
Ling Rad - take a slow out and swap with an Acc if you ever want it to hit 'when you need it the most' 
Irriadiate - replace a rec red with an end red.
Electron Haze - replace power with anything
Cosmic Burst - add in at least a disorient and pref a rec red and end red as well.
Not a fan of Atomic Blast but it looks cool ...
Other than that your ok
Good call D. I look foward to re-rolling my Rad once I've hit 50 with Rogue... but byt ehn your rad will probably have hit and you'll have some new project!

Have to agree with J here. Was on a 4-man high level (45+) troller team at one point yesterday and mobs (+3/4) were dying very, very fast. Remember some of us trollers have /rad as a secondary 
But in any case I would love to keep RadChango in the RadRangers because he's lots of fun and for playing with other coalition friends Okton's slotting of rad emission powers is slightly different, but I'll gladly take up Radio on his suggestions anytime.
CoX 50s: <ill/rad> <ice/ice> <fire/kin> <grav/sonic> <ice/storm> <earth/kin> <kin/elec> <cold/psy> <thugs/dark> <fire/dark> <dark/elec> <night widow> <EM/ninj> <mind/icy>
Replying to myself...
For example I have EM Pulse slotted 2 acc 1 hold 1 endmodif 2 rchg. The endurance drain is quite effective and I'm not worried about hold duration since I'm also using Flash.

Revised build plan, thanks radio. Keeping atomic blast in there as I love a nuke, and the idea of having 2 is just so appealing! (I guess it comed from having a level 49 blaster with NO nukes!) Any further comments then let me know! Looks like I will have the snipe after all... 
can't wait to hear it, if it is as cool as you say! Warshade, Peace Bringer, yadda yadda yadda...
I can't wait to mass hypnotise, then step in an atomic blast... and telekenisis is just a power I have ALWAYS wanted... but can't be bothered to do a troller yet... got a few things to do first... RadRad, Scrapper (ongoing when I feel like it!) and Fire Tank Frank!!!

guess I'll have to prove you wrong too!
Ah, go on then. I'll still have Erendil in SNHS.

Sore spot here , this a good reason to start a new alt tho. If I come up with something I might actually sign up .
well after last night well past midnight, myself and Dou agreed that our next mains will be in the Rad Rangers (with a drunken Kid H in tow ) Once I get Pyrius up to 50 tonight (got to go back home to get my 19" TFT - the 15" TFT I left at my mum's can't seem to cut it anymore 
)
When the Rad Rangers first started hunting in the hollows and we had 5 AMs going at the same time we were cutting purples to shreds and people dinging left right and centre. It reminded me of the fun of the early Rangers street hunting days.
There are many interesting threads on the US forums including a morbid one where a group of rads purposefully allow themselves to be defeated so that they can use mutate on each other - I'll have to do a bit more research to explore the full benefits of this tactic.
Anyhow, If you have a rad/rad or know of anyone with a rad/rad and needs a home them point them in the dircetion of the Rad Rangers - currently all members have invite priviledges (thx D) 
Rad Rangers Away!!!!
Well, because I fancied a more Rogueish one, Perfect Rogue is now ready to roll! ANd awaiting an invite so he can replace Alpha Strike. ALthough he's just gonna sit arounduntil Rogue hits 50. Possibly...
Your welcome Doulos
I spoke to Luminos yesterday and he gave me some good info regarding Power Sink so once I'm level 47+ (dreams...), I'm going to experiment dropping fitness pool!
Could well open up the possibility of taking Atomic Blast and Proton Volley, 'yay'
Hey are we talking purely PvE with these guys, so that we can take down the many uber beatsies in the game with the style and flair that only Rad/rads can? Or am I allowed to have a single target PvP build
Probably will be about time I had a PvE character after Rogue really!
There are a few questions over rad rad in pvp... the AI of those who play villains is considerably greater than those who we fight in paragon! But I will be interested to have a go at PvP with them.
I love the idea of the Rads but I REALLY want to focus on Rogue. SInce you guys are near 50 now, it may not be worth starting one seriously yet. Like I said before, by the time I hit easter, It'll be alongside Radoulos!
Warhead has been rerolled!
I was talking about Rad/Rad Defenders and /Rad Controllers the other day in the SG (NBR) channel and several players wanted to try. But since you already have the group...
Do you take /Rad Controllers? I have an orphan one :-)

[/ QUOTE ]If he doesn't the Union Overlords have space for any trollers, look for me(the toons in the signature or Geth, a new one), Okton or Inspector Frost for an invite.

AS J says the Union Overlords is THE place for controllers. Radrangers are RadRad defs... but we are in coalition so thats easily solved!
Oh yeah, and welcome MANF to the Rad Rangers!
Thanks
Level 8 now and what can I say being a rad rangers ROCKS hahaha. I encourage eveyone who wants a cool charater to come and join us and I cant wait to team with the other rad rangers.
Joke aside, finaly this alt might be well suited for me. I miss my empath so much that I decided i will play rad/rad like i played my empath, that means all powers from primary and only 1 or 2 secondary. Team support character and nothing else.
See ya ingame, cmon everyone make a rad ranger and join the fun lol
I'd love to roll a Rad Ranger if there's space for me
There's space for everyone
Bear in mind though, that everyone currently with a Rad Ranger has them as an alt, so you won't see us much. I believe that will change soon .
�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
Colt Jameson - lvl 1 Rad/Rad currently idling in Atlas reporting for duty Sir!
Right couldn't find the original thread so starting a new one! Apologies for that.
then we get the build nerfed and it all goes cleavage up! Til then I shall Radranger AM, debuff, rez, blast, tank, scrap, and everything else my way onward as a Rad.
I was chattingt to Halo and Spork online about the RadRangers, and I have decided to stay in it as an SG in its own rights. There are many reasons for this:
1. I feel RadRad is a uniquely exciting build that could form a uniquely exciting SG.
2. The ethos that I intended for the group stands, this would not work with another group.
3. As much as I would love to be in the SNHS I have too much story in the Rad Rangers (it is coming, along with all the rest, please be patient!)
4. Halo will be making his next main on heroes a Rad Rad, and many others out there have expressed interest.
5. We are a small group (have to be by nature of powers) only 16 at the moment (all under 16!), but we will have a 17th member by tomorrow.
6. My main reason for wanting to dispand the Rads into the SNHS was for coalition reasons, total cat now means that we don't have to have that.
Even if other wish to leave to join the SNHS, they are welcome, I will stay a RadRanger. The difference? RadRangers are just that, Rangers. I believe that in time this SG will grow to the same status as the PRs (thank you Halo for reminding me how people said the rangers would never work at the outset) and I want this to one day be an SG that takes down Hami on its own!!! If any build can do it 50 RadRads have as good a chance as anything else! Ambitious I know... but hell.
So, who wishes to stay? I have .8 left on D, Radoulos was created to be his successor, and so he shall be. I await the day when 8 Rad Rangers armed with SOs saunter through missions for fun
Where is that bloke who was on about Defenders being rubbish, I will so prove to him that NO controller can do what a Rad Rad can do.
I apologise to any who read this and say "GAH D is at it again" I guess I am, but I should never have wimped out before on an SG that I believe could gain a remarkable place in CoH history! When I hit 22 and SO up I am going to try and Solo some GMs... I want 8 Rads to take on lusca, with a little luck... who knows!!! Debuff ftw!!! one tentacle each... that would be cool to watch!
Here is my planned build:

The plan is to tank with him mainly, get in a group, debuff them, then stun/Aoe with a few other attacks thrown in for good measure, then SPAM THE HEAL!!!
