Earth/rad build

I am starting an earth/rad soon but i don't have a build. I have never been good at creating builds so if anyone with a strong earth/rad build could post it that would be awesome.

Maybe a little more information so people can help you.

1. What "type" of build: teaming, solo, pvp, all of the above.
2. What are you looking for from the build: set bonuses, power selection only, SOs, sets, frankenslotting

Anybody can slap together a build, a little more information can help getting you what you are looking for. Maybe slap together one you kind of think you'll like and let us tweak it for you.

Another good idea is to look at the guides( some may be outdated ), the guides tend to show peoples experiences with powers. Normally I tend to reason out what powers I don't tend to find particularly useful for my build, by reading guides.

Just having someone build for you is probably asking for disappointment.

Local Man, Local Man, Local Man!

Quick! someone needs an earth/rad guide!

Ok, it will be made for teaming because they do very little damage and i will take anything with IO sets. I looked at your guide but it doesn't seem to have any builds using IO sets except for the build created for maximum rech so I would like strong holds and good debuffs basically.

In general for controllers you want +recharge, +recovery and +end to start for bonuses.

You want your big controls (usually slow recharging) up as often as possible and you want plenty of recovery to allow your debuff toggles to stay on. The beauty of a /rad controller is AM will help on both fronts and bonuses will push you even further.

Just because I like posting my builds, here is the Earth/Rad (Vivid) I am working on.

She is only level 43 currently, but this will be my end-game build. It has perma-AM and perma-Hasten. It also has 2 purple sets (the Hold and the Stun). So, it isn't cheap. However, the exact same slotting would work for generics enhancements. My controller is designed to be playable and fun from 1 to 50, using the same power/slotting order at all levels (whether or not the expensive IOs are in it or not). Basically no respec is needed.

I will say that the one thing my build does that others wouldn't like is that I delay Accelerate Metabolism to level 35. That's the way I played her up, so for me it works. You might want to move that power down to a much lower level (say, ASAP).

I'll post the build all slotted out for awesomeness, then I'll post a chunk of the same thing with generics.

Test my faith?????

I'd never let the Great and Mighty Blue Bar down. And neither should any of you, for blaspheming leads to zero endurance and zero endurance leads to toggle dropping and toggle dropping leads to death!

Please accept some of our informative reading materials.

Mark me down as another ranged earth/rad. My earth/TA is also a ranged toon. But my earth/earth dom.....melee all the way........get me in the middle of the ruckus! Fun stuff.
