didn't look through it, but i just wanted to drop off mine here in hopes that you'll get a few ideas:
Click this DataLink to open the build!
it's definitely a work in progress here, but yeah.. just throwing it out there.

Nice,HP. I went without focused or leadership because I found PBed rad+Rad Infec cuts through most defense. |

Before I slotted my build I had scorpion shield. Later I switched to a resist armor because blasters were just cutting through the defense and I had no resist to speak of.
You don't find the lack of resist armor to be taxing in combat?
Also, do you find the Recharge past 35% to be worth having? I had 50% recharge and I felt like DR was really hitting me hard. The difference between 35% global and 50% seemed negligible.
DR is calculated on a per power recharge basis. so i slot accordingly. i find that 65% or so is noticeable. above that, pretty meh.
i run without a resist armor with my fire/cold, and it sometimes sucks, but the fact is, freedom zone pvp (what his build was for up until say 2 hours ago) is full of (edited so avatea doesn't ban me) scrappers with bad accuracy, hence i dodge those A LOT.

Well, with cold you have a decent amount of mitigation in the form of damage debuffs, etc. |

I was asking more about your rad/rad since it only does about -20% and I believe even that's hit by DR.
Also, happen to know if the Rad toggle effects linger for a few seconds after they drop, or do debuffs drop immediately after toggles drop?
And do the toggled debuffs take effect right at animation or is there a delay for them to take effect?
it's just a draft build on the rad.
it's level 17 and i have other stuff to build.

The market drops anything you want it to, if you poke it enough.

the debuffs drop as soon as the toggle drops, its not like hurricane. the debuffs apply as soon as the animation finishes.|

one tactic ive seen good rads use is toggle the debuff they dont really need 1st to get you to mez them then they toggle the more useful one so that it lasts the whole supression period.

Be nice if it was similar to hurricane. Thanks for the confirmation.|

Love to get some advice/tips from a veteran Rad-er. Guessing there's very few to speak of.
Also, what's sacking lingering rads -rech rate? Feels like it has very little effect. Is it DR alone or are a number of i13 rule sets preventing it from being as good as PvE Lingering Rad?

DO NOT TAKE POWER BOOST. Take the scorpian. You get the defense shield (great paired with your -tohit), FA, and Web caccoon. The thing with PB is that you get the same exact affect as if you had the defense shield.....and pb only last 10 seconds. I tested this alot...so trust me. That i'm one of the few rads that still arena. I would give you a copy of my build....just PM me.

You were right about the Necro personal attacks and Power Boost (Respeced my Nec and she's a beast now.) While defense shield WAS great paired with -tohit prei13, does it still hold up now? Keep in mind I don't care for Arena PvP, more of a zone farmer that PvPs on the casual. |

My only concern is still the lack of resist and the popularity of Sonic Blasters that will chew right through PvP resist.
Alright, I like to challenge myself with builds when it comes to zone farming, otherwise I don't feel like I've accomplished anything playing a cookie cutter build.
Here's my rad/rad build. i'm not looking for a critique as I know it could be improved. However I am looking for some suggestions on how to make the build better and how best to utilize primary and secondary. As well as suggestions to best slot.
Right now I toggle the enemy with Enervating then RI as this seems to be the most fluid delivery. I follow this up with Lingering+PB+AIM+Cosmic+X-ray+Spam Neutrino+Soul Storm
Tend to finish off with PB+AIM+Soul Storm, as Soul Storm has an incredibly reliable scourge tic.
