Fire / Rad Build
That won't really work unless you have someone buffing you (e.g. other /rads or a kin). Once you start using the rad toggles, you will be eating through endurance. The +recov from AM is rather small and even with Hasten, you won't be anywhere near perma AM without outside buffs. So I would still suggest getting Stamina .

Its funny you say that, because at the moment ive not had a problem stamina wise even when using both my toggles and spamming attacks. It's when the AM runs out that I am struggling, at the mo it's on a 90 sec downtime when i have hasten active. This should go down to about 40 secs with SO enhancements. Do you think i should be starting on stamina now or do you reckon i can go without a bit longer?
I still think you will need it soon, so might as well start now (you could also respec directly into Stamina in a few levels if you don't feel you need it yet). It also depends if you're slotting your attacks with endmods (at least the AoEs) and how much you solo. Want to post your build maybe?

At work atm, but as i remember, it's something along these lines.
1 - flares (dam) (dam) (acc) (acc)
1 - Radiant Aura (heal) (heal) (rech)
2 - fire blast (dam) (dam) (dam) (acc)
4 - Radiant Infection (endred) (defdebuff) (tohitdebuff)
6 - accelerate met (recharge) (recharge) (recharge) (endmod)
8 - fire ball (dam) (dam) (dam) (acc)
10 - rain of fire (dam)
12 - combat jumping (empty)
14- super jump (jump)
16 - enervating field (endred)
18 - hasten (recharge) (recharge) (recharge)
Thats the build as best as i can remember. The majority of these are DO slotted as well. My theory was to get blaze next, and see how i went from there. I think i will eventually have to donate at least one slot in every power to endred if i want to carry on going through with this build
I certainly think you will need Stamina, even with EndRdx slotting on many powers and 6-slotted AM. Unless you have a freespec, the only choice really is whether to get it at 24 or at 26 (and I would suggest 24, even if you have to move Blaze back a bit). If you do have a freespec, I would drop Flares and Rain of Fire to get the Stamina pre-requisites instead (I prefer Swift/Hurdle on squishies, especially if they have a heal, but Health is OK too). RoF is great if you have a way of keeping mobs tightly packed (I use it on top of Tar Patch with my fire/dark), but otherwise, not worth it. Flares is just bad compared to your other attacks.
Concerning slotting, I would suggest slotting Rad Infection with 3 Tht_Debuf first, then 1-2 Def_Debuf and 1 EndRdx (in that order).
So my build to 27 would probably look something like this:

24) --> Aim==> Rechg(24) Rechg(27)
26) --> Acrobatics==> EndRdx(26)
After that I would probably take Fire Breath then Lingering Rad.
Hope some of this helps!

yeah thanks for help. I thought i would need a respec to take flares out anyway, but at the low lvls i always appreciate the extra attack. I'll go for the stamina chain now i think, might make it a bit easier to do the respec that way, as i need to get it done sooner rather than later. Cheers for the help man!!!
eep!
You have Flares!
Noooooooooo!
I find stamina very useful on my fire/rad in both PvE and PvP

Ive got this toon up to lvl19 now and wanted to try something different. Instead of going for stamina by lvl20, i thought i could bypass it and wait till longer if i 3 slotted AM with recharge and 3 slotted hasten with recharge, therefore giving me the shortest down time on AM as poss. Has anyone else tried this? If so has it worked out for them. I dont wanna gimp my build but i really wanted to try something different instead of getting swift and health, and get 2 other powers instead.
