Build Advice for Rad/MM


5th_Player

 

Posted

After reading several threads on the advantages/disadvantages of Rad/ Blasters, I came up with this potential leveling-up build. I started him last night and took him to level 7. There's a great IO build thread on here that shows a lvl 50 respec with full Defenses that I think I'm going to follow once I get to that point, but in the meantime, I'd like some advice on what I'm planning now.

I usually solo, with some teaming later on. Any advice would be helpful. As a note, I usually don't start investing in IOs until I hit the mid 30s unless I stumble upon a Unique that I can use.


Please try my arcs:

Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)

Looks nice, I also rolled a Rad/MM recently. First blaster I've made that I like, I've always been a scrapper at heart, but I'm loving my rad.

Could you possibly post a link to the IO build thread you found?

It could have possibly been my two end-game rad/ builds I was trying to decide between.

Rad/MM vs Rad/Fire

Come to think of it, that would have been a much better title too.

That's a good one, too. The thread that I originally found is called "S/L Def IO's?" and is located several pages back now. There are a lot of good options for respeccing into what looks like a pretty hardy Blaster.
