Yes, you can farm with a Fire/Rad, but it is slower than a Fire/Kin. My Fire/Rads are not "built" for farming, but can do it with relative ease. Build for Recharge, Recovery. I have thought about a Defense build, but never bothered. Some key procs make a difference: "Chance for Hold" from the purple Immob set and one or two damage procs in Fire Cages; Lockdown +2 Mag in Choking Cloud, and I like the chance for Smashing from the purple Hold set, too. I like to build the Imps for high recharge so that they can be cast often when one or two die.

slots will be tight, but i went for as much defense and as much recharge as you can get. this build assumes inherant fitness. feel free to tweak it to your liking.
This is what I've got atm. Mostly I'm a month out from my finnaglings and lost my train of thought, and now I need to wait for I19 anyway...

the empty slottings are mostly filled in with SOs atm, a few standard IOs, nothing special or save-worthy.
obvious goofs like Grav. Anchor where it is instead of in Fire Cages, for instance. yeah well, this was 2 years ago, come february and pretty much my first time playing with MIDS', also my 1st 50.
Otherwise, what's needed here? where've I screwed up?
So far, my experience has been that Def is worthless and Res is questionable. Squishy is as squishy does...and squishy mostly dies.
Whether I'm running my Def/Res toggles or not makes zero difference on whether I fall or not, nor in how quick. Hence, focus on recharge and damage, immobs/holds/etc where more appropriate.
Again, this is what I actually have on hand/slotted atm...I'm also seriously considering dropping RI/EF in favor of the Mutation/Fallout pair, but I might do that on my ill/rad instead

Wow. Yeah, that'll make you squishy all right. Not taking those 2 debuffs would make you the Rad equivalent of a petless Mastermind.

But back to the point...with my fire/rad, I only probably use RI/EF a little less than half the time. When I'm soloing, I use it almost all the time, but it never stays up the entire duration of a fight, and is seldom worth trying to cast a second time.
When grouped, usually I'm about 2 steps behind the tank or whoever is herding, and regardless whether I paste RI/EF on a minion or a boss, the target is down before I get the 2nd power on, so kinda mostly pointless. GMs, AVs are the kind of targets where my debuffs really shine, but most groups I run with don't really notice the lack if I don't use them, or much benefit if I do.
And also too, I really wanna blow somebody up good, then mutate their sorry carcass into a killing machine, ya know!? *<8)
Quote:
The key is to take an educated guess at which of the foes will live longest, and use that one for your anchor. EF in particular can be cast quickly and provides a nice 22.5% Resistance Debuff -- helping the team kill everything faster. Pick an anchor in the front, and the debuffs act like a "Kill me first" sign. Pick the toughest boss, and many scrappers and tanks feel that it is there job to take out the toughest foes first, so that one goes down fast. Often the best choice is a Lieutenant near the back.|

On fast-moving teams, I use EF on most groups, LR on large groups and save RI for really tough foes. Pick the right anchor and the debuff will be around for most of the battle. My Ill/Rad guide has some suggestions on choosing your anchor.
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.)

Hey All,
Now I know there are like a billion Fire/Kin farmer builds but has anyone done it for a Fire/Rad? Can this toon even farm?
If someone could post one I would really appricate it.
Thank you.
