Was thinking of 5 slotting Irradiate with the follow IO Procs

Touch of lady Gray - Chance for Negative Damage
Achilles Heel - Chance for Res Debuff
Analyze Weakness - chance for +tohit
Shield Breaker - Chance for Lethal Damage
Eradication - Chance for Energy Damage

I currently have lady gray chance for negative damage slotted with 4 other PBAOE IO's slotted in it.

Acc, End Reduc, -res proc, 3 dmg procs

if you're /Kin, doesn't really matter :P

If this is for the Storm/Rad in your sig, no. As DJ said, on a kin you could get away with not slotting damage because of Fulcrum, not on a Storm.

As Tangler said the +tohit proc is a waste. You'll also have no acc/recharge/end in it. I went with 5 Armageddons and an Achilles proc. Cheaper option would be 5 Oblits and an Achilles proc.

If you really wanted to go proc crazy with it, I'd put the Achilles proc, the Lady Grey proc and one of the PBAoE damage procs in it and then 2 Obliterations (triple and quad) and a Multistrike Dam/End/Rech.

That's how it's slotted on my rad/kin (the PBAoE proc was the Oblit as well, since I don't have an armageddon proc to toss in).

The only attacks with just one damage proc in them are the nuke and Cosmic Burst, and every attack has an Achilles. She's a lot of fun to play, since I just jump right into melee with her and cut loose... although now I get myself into trouble on my emp/rad trying to play the same way.

But 5 procs, 1 acc? Nah. Giving up the extra slot for a chance for +tohit is silly IMO, and you want end/rech to go with the accuracy so your procs go off more often, and over a longer timeframe without stopping.

Sorry I should have put my spec in.. It is for my Rad Kin

I think I am having issues keeping sight on what IO's are for sometimes and tend to go to some useless extremes with them. Weeks later I come back to look at the spec and wonder myself what I was thinking at the time.

Part of me also hates thinking of spending a billion or half a billion of Inful / Infamy on one toon. At least right now.

I have a /Rad defender that I went pretty proc-heavy on. Since you have the ability to externally up your rech via Syphon Speed, slotting for recharge may not be as important. But I do agree with those above that the +toHit is a waste. Also, if you miss with SySpd, you will still want some rech in your AoE.

Personally, I'd reather slot the tier 1 & 2 attacks with multiple damage procs, since they will fire off far more frequently. The Achilles, however, definitely should stay.
