OK, here is a mostly cheap Fire/Rad build I threw together this morning. There will be some endurance issues if you are running Hot Feet, Choking Cloud, EF and RI all at the same time, but that could be improved later on with some slightly more expensive sets later. I threw in a Celerity Stealth and a Steadfast Knockback -- you really, really need the knockback protection, so save up merits for that one if you have to.

Thank you very much Local_Man.
Cheap build ??
Yet local_man's build contains
Decimations
Bask Gaze
Celerity +stealth
and Posi blasts!
Has no def, very little Resistance.
I would prob go with something like this.
Everything here should be fairly cheap, you will get,
127% Recharge
25.8% Defense to all Ranged attacks (Radiation Infection + Smoke will improve this)
182% Regen (but you have a 236 Hp Heal every 2.5sec anyway)
Super Speed + Leaping+ Acrobatics
Total Net End gain without AM or Debuff Toggles = 1.31
Total Net End gain with AM but Without Debuff Toggles = 2.29
Total Net End gain with AM and toggles applied = 1.45
Note these figured are worked out with CJ, SS, Acrobatics, MindOverBody, Hotfeet and Maneuvers also toggled ! ! ! ~ Pretty good if i say so myself.
Hope it helps.

Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
OP:
Mine's only a 27 and thus slotted horribly. I don't worry about them too much at low level so I haven't really done much, and won't until around 33. Accuracy, damage, speed, in that order. Lock 'em down and burn 'em up. I don't slot for hold unless it's a nice proc or Basilisk for the speed. They'll be dead by the time the hold wears off anyway. Hot Feet and Choking Cloud are your armor. Flashfire and Fire Cages are your opening moves and spam the cages and char like they were going out of style.
Also, meet us on the hill in Talos at 8pm on Monday for the all Fire/Rad team(s). We might do the second half of Posi this Monday. Not sure if the team did the second half after I logged or not. But anything works.
Donna:
I'm not worried about much of that stuff on a Fire/Rad. They buff self and others and destroy and debuff all enemies. By putting those holds in your attacks you're cutting your toon's nuts off. No damage enhancement in Fire Cages or Char? And flashfire at 32? Six slotting CJ on top of that...We clearly have different philosophies on this.
Yea, was in WW looking at the enhancements and they are damned expensive for a new level 50. Given time then maybe but not at the moment.
I have seen the fire/rad superteam post on here but unfortunately our time zones are not going to allow me to be able to join you, I am from the UK.
Donna, thanks for that suggestion. I will take a look.

I tend to look at everything from 37 up. In that range the percents don't change too much. To me a 47 is the same as a 50, and you can sometimes get them for 10% of the 50.
Also, remember to look at the other side of the coin. Sometimes, oddly, crafted cost less than the recipe. And remember, at 50 you can always buy the unwanted SOs at that level as placeholders as you slowly build your toon. Though it might be a shock to lose lots of rech. Right now my 46 [though a katana/wp] is carrying around the level 50 enh she'll need for when she gets 47. Some things are much cheaper at 50, and it's also the area where the marketers make all their money.

And there is always the option of "playing the market." Read up on the market guides, pick a niche and, if you picked the right one, become an "ebil marketeer."
I dislike several things about Donna's build . . . especially the order of powers. Flashfire at 32? Fire Imps at 38? But folks can make effective characters in all sorts of ways. I just threw up a quick build -- with some work and thought, I might be able to do better. (I have one Fire/Rad at 50, and I'm working on another on a different server right now, who is up to 38.)

One of the advantages of purple sets is that they retain their bonuses even when exemp'ed. You may as well build your character to be effective when exemp'ed down.

If I have a particular quirk or preference that may not follow the "norm," I usually try to say so.
Some of the most fun I have had is exemping down favorite characters to play lower level content. A fully IO'ed character can get boring when he or she is too powerful, too invulnerable, etc. Exemp down and some things become a challenge again.
Yesterday doing the Citadel TF, I was reminded about how glad I am that I made my build to be effective for lower level content, and how much I like Fearsome Stare -- even exemp'ed down, it was having a huge effect.

Expensive is a relative term. Given the earning power of even the most anemically slotted fire/rad only purples and selected PvP IOs should be considered 'expensive'.
Last night I ran one MA mission with my much less survivable ar/dev blaster, rolled the several hundred tickets he earned at the level 35-39 bronze sweet spot and picked up roughly 100 million inf worth of recipes (got two RES recipes that are going for 20-40 million each and a few other good ones), more if I bother to craft them. That is obviously an outlier, he usually nets between a few hundred thousand and 10-20 million per mission, but is hardly unprecedented and didn't include any of the *really* good drops available at that level range.
And given the vast array of powers on offer to a fire/rad def & resistance are luxuries, not necessities. With Lingering Radiation, Enervating Field, Choking Cloud and Hot Feet running and his imps deployed mine can jump into the middle of pretty much anything the game has to offer without much worry. He has the shield power from Pyre Mastery (or whatever the fire EPP is called) but never needs it, it's just a place to park IOs.
It's very nearly faster to earn a fat pile of inf and just buy what you want (within reason) than to scratch your head planning out a "cheap" build.

Because, even with your set bonuses non-applicable, you're tougher exemped than you were at the actual level.
And if you opt not to buy L50 IOs (say L30-35 IOs), you still get 95% of the enhancement and you keep your set bonuses longer.

Have you thought about making builds optimized for a particular level ? The mechanics of exemplaring are convoluted but if you are willing to put in the effort you can make incredibly effective builds for a given level range.

No, I don't like using sub-standandard IO's so that I get the bonus when I exemp... tbh i want the most out of each toon, it's what I like to do.

If you're essentially locking yourself out of content, you're not really getting "the most" out of your toons are you? It's essentially "race to the top, IO out, get bored, rinse, repeat"

Been banging my head against a brick wall the last day or so and staying up way too late trying to fathom out a decent cheap builds for my newly dinged 50 fire/rad controller. Most of the guides I see have enhancements that are well beyond my reach at this stage. Or I assume so anyway. This is my one and only level 50.
Thus far I have been levelling mainly in groups but I do like to solo at times when its quiet. Most of my time now is in farms trying to gather some Inf and have about 140 million at the moment.
Currently, I have all basic level 50 SO ehancements but it is all guess work in the way I have specced and have just been placing stuff where I think it should go !
So, would anyone possibly be able to help me with a good farming/solo build that is cheap?
