Need generic IO build/slotting help for Ill/Rad

Illusion and farming in the same sentence doesn't fit. Even if you said "multi-billion" build it still wouldn't fit and will always be disappointing for such an activity.
Illusion is good at a lot of things, but farming? not so much.
To elaborate on what Frosticus has said, I'll add this. Farming is about defeat lots of foes quickly. To expediate this, they're often -1 foes or with bosses turned off (though this decreases drop rates). Illusion sacrifices traditional AoE controller for aggro-grabbing pets, some buffs, and single target damage. Ill/rad, in particular, is very powerful for dealing with a single difficult target. This does not, however, translate into the ability to defeat many lesser enemies quickly.
I suggest you take a look at my Illusion/Radiation Guide, linked in my sig. It has suggested SO/Common IO slotting as well as high level/expensive slotting. The guide has lots and lots of information to help you, including lots of strategy tips. I tried to condense the wisdom of a lot of people into it.
I agree with the previous two. Illusion/Radiation is a great build for single tough targets, but doesn't have much to make it a good farmer. Want to make Inf on your Ill/Rad? run lots of Task Forces.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
Guide Links: Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control
appreciate the advice. I'll definately check that guide out.
Hey all, as I've said before, I'm pretty hopeless at slotting and deciding how MANY slots to give a power, so I'm asking for help, again.
Could someone post a solid farming build for Ill/Rad using only 'generic' IO's and maybe SO's?
I flat out can't afford sets or purples.
Also, a rundown of a good 'rotation' to generally follow would be nice so I could compare it to what I've been doing.
I've been away from the game for a long time and came back and dusted off my Ill/Rad and am really dissapointed in his performance, but I know its because of the slotting.
