I love fissure. I made a fire/rad instead of an earth dom specifically to get the earth pool for fissure. Having said that, OMG MEZ IS SO GDAMN ANNOYING ON A FIRE/RAD !! If toggles drop, I'm a dead man.

I'm about to ding 50 and having reservations on my build

Which would you guys choose, an S/L-capped fire/rad with fissure or the same build without capped S/L, but with perma indomitable will?

I found that Mez was my biggest problem on my Fire/Rads, so I went with Indomidable Will and the Psi Pool . . . but I haven't come close to fully IOing out my two Level 50 Fire/Rads yet. My Fire/Rads are not farmers or soloists -- mine were built with a team in mind. In fact, mine were built expecting to team with a particular team of Fire/Rads. A Fire/Rad on its own is good, but a team of Fire/Rads is pretty extreme.

Getting S/L defense capped will deflect a number of those Mez shots at you. But I don't know from experience whether that will be better than IW or not, especially for a solo and/or farming build.

I went Psi as well, but just keep two things in mind:

1. You'll need a fat chunk of global recharge to get IW perma.

2. Setting IW on autocast means you wont have Hasten on Autocast, and vice versa. I went with IW autocasting, but now I just have to remember to manually kick off Hasten.

Think I've decided on psi... holds, sleeps, stuns suck bad when you're in the middle of a pack without toggles. Will still have 20-25% positional defense, so not terrible... I just hate not having my beloved fissure.
