Mind/Rad

Evening all!

After rolling out my ill/rad and getting some help decided to visit one of my former favorite toons: my mind/rad troller. Her bio is hysterical and I always had fun watching people's reaction when she joins a team with her disclaimer ("this is an adult only toon, if you are under the age of 18 please let me know and I will refrain from using any binds." - she is afterall a former porn star turned super hero!).

Anwyas, was wondering if anyone has some direction of a solid build for Mind/Rad.

What direction do you want to take your Mind/rad in? I built mine for recharge (perma-AM and perma-Hasten), and control though it's not terribly difficult to alter it for a bit of damage as well. A lot of what I would recommend is dependent on what you want the character to do. For example, with control as my top priority, I find the Primal APP quite useful. If you want to be more damage oriented then perhaps the Fire APP is for you.

Perhaps, if you post up a sample build, we can work from there.

Honestly just looking for ideas in the direction to take her. Really was a toss up who will be utilizing GR when it comes out. I know a mind dom is more desirable for RSF but figured a mind/rad troller could come in handy.

Guess I am looking at perma hasten/perma RA for sure along with some damage bonuses.

Your damage sources for this sort of build will largely be coming from Levitate, Mesmerize, and Terrify before you reach the epics. Levitate is a good source of non-psi damage. (Psi is resisted pretty heavily by some later groups). Both Mesmerize and Terrify have long durations which allow you to slot them entirely for damage. You can also squeeze a bit of damage into Dominate if you go with 4 Basilisk's Gaze and fill it out with 2 pieces from a damage set or 2 Hami-O's. You'll also want Mass Hypnosis for setting up containment outside of your AoE hold.

When it comes to APP's, Fire is a good bet. You'll get some more nice AoE damage out of Fireball and some help maintaining your endurance with Consume. Fire Blast can take place of Mesmerize or Levitate, depending on your play style.

As for sets, recharge is what you should chase mostly. Decimation, Basilisk's Gaze, and Positron's Blast all offer some nice bonuses for regular sets. The purple sleep and confuse sets are both fairly cheap and each offers a whopping 10% recharge bonus.

Here's the datachunk for a build I did up for a friend, just to give you an idea of what you could get into.
