Considering the irradiated path.
Well;
Neutrino bolt is an attack chain by itself. That's from as low as level 1, it has an activation of 1 and a recharge of 1.5 seconds.
Atomic Blast can hit a BI of 17.
Most of the attacks ignore resistances and reduce defences, meaning you can actually do some fairly good (for a defender) damage.
Laser beam eyes at level 2. Except better. And green.
Prepare to be asked for AM constantly.
Prepare to be kicked because you aren't an empath (although since you get heals, buffs, and a rez it isn't quite as bad as those poor TA blighters)
It's fun as hell
Enjoying playing as Gamma Ranger, especially now I have Photon Torpedoes... sorry, Proton Volley. Coolest sound effect in the game bar none and a decent Snipe
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Well,
Prepare to be invited more often than pre-issue 7 as your rad emission powers (specially lindgering radiation) are essential for every AV miss as well as to beat GM.
I've a lvl 42 rad/rad and i have enjoyed playing her very much when i play toegther with a good team that understands and respects rad def powers, otherwise you will be frustated as the anchor of your debuffs will get killed always the first and your teammates will only ask you to heal them and to cast AM on them... Skip this kind of teams, try to play with a couple of friends who knows how rad works, or explain your tactics before starting the miss... Another good tip is to inform your teammates of who will be your anchor before a fight. If you prefer soloing, keep playing your Ill/Rad as (in my oppinion) you will be able to soloing faster as a Ill controller than a defender.

Go rad/psi and have the best 1vs1 PvP build going.

[/ QUOTE ]NO player attack ignores resistance. Rad blast attacks have increased accuracy, and defence debuff.

NOT TRUE.
Radiation Blast does Energy damage and is subject to Energy Resistance. You just don't see much Energy Resistance below level 30.
Well I have an illu/rad troller but I quite liked the idea of a rad/rad def and so I was considering deleting and restarting my troller as an illu/kin and making the rad def I thought of for some time.
Is there anyone who can point me in the right dorection and advise me on the major differences between a rad/rad def and a troller with rad secondary and if its worth going ahaead with this idea? While I like my illu/rad I feel the full radiation dose may be more fun. What do you guys think?
