With my fire/rad, I was able to cook entire hazard zone spawns with DOs and inspirations. Go into Dark Astoria and cook some zombies over easy. Run a few TFs.
It's the usual way of making money in the game.

OK, here is how I would suggest you slot the powers with common SOs or IOs, in the order they are listed. Please note that once you get into the 30's, you might as well plan to "frankenslot" the powers from the beginning to get the benefits of higher enhancement. But this shows the main things you should be trying to enhance in each of the powers.
Note that many people would do things differently than I have. I have two travel powers (which I almost never do -- but I like it on this character for some reason). You might want to drop Fly or Super Speed to take Mutation, or Smoke, or Ring of Fire if you want some extra damage for solo. I would take Mutation of those, but that's only for teaming.

Also, what server are you on and do you have Monday evenings free?
If the answer is Freedom/Yes, I'd invite you to the Fire/Rad superteam(s) event. And yes, we're running Memorial Day Monday too.
Heck, even if you're not on Freedom, I invite you to roll up a Fire/Rad and come with. This way you can use it as a testbed for your main.
One Fire/Rad by themselves is great. A team full of them will have you cackling like someone whose wits are thoroughly lost. Who needs PL when you have 8 Fire/Rads and can curb-stomp AVs in roughly two minutes?
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
First i want to say thank you Local_man :P, second im on justice server been wondering if freedom has a higher population though hehe.
Also with frankenslotting what would i honestly be looking to get?
Went ahead and put in Mutation so... this?

Honestly, I dunno. I spend a lot of time soloing, and when I do team, it's usually with a bunch of Protectorite invaders or the Fire/Rad event.

Acc is probably second most important. As, if you don't hit them, you don't do anything.
After that, Damage, EndRed and Recharge are all about equally important. On long-recharging powers (like Ciinders), Recharge is probably MORE important.
For AM, at 50, you can get 99% of what you're taking 6 slots for with common IOs in just 4 slots.
With Hot Feet, some of the tri/quad aspect IOs are expensive, it'll be less cheap to slot up. But, again, HotFeet is one of your primary damage mechanisms, so it's worth it. But going with 5 tri/quad damage IOs and one Dam/rech, you can have Acc/End/Rech above 80% and damage above 99%. And that's just with PBAoE damage IOs. If you dip into slows, your damage will come down
Again, play around in Mids.
