Rad/Fire

Hello Forumites. I've been working with mids though I'm still very, very much a novice. I've come up with this build for my Rad/Fire. It has capped S/L and energy and decent defenses otherwise as well. I'm mostly satisfied with it, though I wish I had a little extra for Consume. If anybody has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!

Ah...and I should mention that I'm rather attached to Proton Volley and would prefer to keep it. :-)

Here's another take on the build. I kept the snipe like you asked, but it is not softcapped (it's close though).

Your build looks a bit... disjointed Wildlight.

Below is my build for my AoE focused Rad/Fire. It's soft capped for S/L defense and designed to be an AoE monster. It still burns too much endurance for my tastes so my Alpha Slot will be cardiac

Since you are attached to Proton Volley you could keep the same level of mitigation by substituting it for Neutron Bomb and 5 slotting Sting of the Manticore instead of 5 slotted Posi.

I like the last build but I must ask...why did you guys go with Hot feet? For the extra dmg and the fear? I normally skip it due to the end drain. To each their own though.

I sort of agree, Negate. I decided to keep Hot Feet for problematic mobs. The fear effect makes a decent deterrent if they're outside my typed defenses. I can always shut it off if I'm feeling strapped.

I like it because the way I have it enhanced its a total of -116% run speed (ie:capped at -95% up to about +1/+2).

It's got a very nice radius and those ticks of damage add up especially when Aim and Build up are active, or if I have eaten a few red insps (which I do frequently), or if there is another + damage buff put on me like Fulcrum Shift, Accelerate Metabolism, Assault, Fortitude, etc.

Edit: I ran Hero stats on my Rad/Fire (setting was +1/X4, no bosses) for awhile and the powers that did the most total damage were Combustion, Hot Feet, and Fire Sword Circle and the damage numbers were in that order too. The radius of the powers are what I think accounts for the difference.

Hrmm..., you fellas bring up a good point. It is a fun power to use during the earlier levels...maybe I will test it out on my Rad/Fire sometime soon.
