Take a look at my Illusion/Radiation guide. The link to it is in my signature below. Near the end of the thread, you'll find my current Perma-PA build. I avoided using many of the most expensive sets, trying to keep the price reasonable without sacrificing performance at all. |

Welcome back. That guide should give you all the information you need.
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.)

The good news? Higher regen/recharge/acc set bonuses than Local's (fantastic btw) moderate priced build, also purple sets are ridiculously good while exep'd. The bad.... apoc/rag sets in your APP attacks. Power pick wise, the build is near identical, just a slightly different slant on slotting.
I just have a couple things to point out. The first is that any perm. PA build is going to be prohibitively expensive, easily measured in billions of inf. or thousands of merits. The second is that even builds within perm. PA are at the mercy of the servers. You're not going to see it really in moderate lag situations, the interface lag will tag you for a couple of seconds. The third is simply a question of value. Ill/rad is a monster with even moderate recharge bonuses. I did it more as a hobby than a breakneck "must have NAO!" build. I'm not really all that huge on soloing av's and certainly not gm's, so the return on the last 20-30% recharge was minimal for me. If all you ever wanted to do in game was solo beatdown Adamaster, than by all means go for it! Just keep in mind that when you DO hit perma, it's not a gamechanger in day to day group play. I only mention it because I was a bit underwhelmed when I got there.
I think Local Man is just trying to get his guide to be the most read thread on the forums... "I have a question about illu/rad" "read my guide"
"I have a question about Phantom army..." "Read my guide"
"I'm a Defender rolling a Rad/ , any advice?" "Read my guide"
"Hey, I have a Fire/Storm..." "Roll an Ill/Rad and read my guide!"
=P
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

I have no idea how people get the billions needed to IO set their builds. Even farming solo with my fire/kin on a demon farm +2s I get maybe a million a run.

Mainly by playing the market; you can make a ton by buying recipes and crafting & selling the IO's.|

A perma-PA Ill/Rad isn't cheap, but it doesn't need to cost a billion.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I'm still only halfway through it but it's a good guide. I've only just started considering rolling an Illusion/Rad and it's been a great help. Right now he's shelved until Going Rogue goes live but your guide's given me a lot of ideas. |

Local Man definitely has a good guide. Took some of his advice for my own build, tossed around others and this is what I am currently running with. Remember every build can be tweaked to meet your needs but Local's guide definiitely is a great jump start!
