Most of my 50's are mostly melee scrappers and was lookin for some help with a Rad/Fire blaster. Like what powers to skip and slotting advice. Thanks for any and all help.

What I did (Or rather am doing) for my Rad/Fire is become an AoE monster. I'll toss up my build to show what I am planning. She's level 32, so far, but OMG can she drag hate, I grabbed toughness to try to... keep from dying so fast. This build is what I originally planned. And I dropped Super Speed for Toughness.

You could always build for max recharge since the combo is pretty team friendly.

Here is a build with s/l and ranged defense in the 40s, but the recharge on the AoEs are left wanting.

I built a rad/fire and I'm pretty sure it'll rival my fire/rad controller for PBAoE pain infliction on the enemy when its done. If you don't want to flop over alot make sure to have a few cold or ff defenders on your friend list.
