We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Start out by taking a look at my Illusion/Radiation Guide. The link is in my sig. The guide has explanations of the powers, sample builds, strategy tips. It includes my current Perma PA build, which has a lot fewer purple sets than the build you posted. Then, if you look in the thread following the guide, there are lots and lots of builds there, too.

You made a lot of choices I would not make. A perma-PA build shouldn't need Defense. The PA's job is to draw aggro. You throw out your PA, stay back at range and shoot stuff while they are attacking PA. The Defense you have in that build is not all that much for using up 5 power picks -- you have 11-17%, which isn't all that much. If you really want to go for Defense, use a different APP set to get the S/L based Defense Armor (Ice or Earth -- Ice is better for an Ill/Rad for the reasons I explain in the guide.)

You skipped Spectral Terror, the best AoE control for an Ill/Rad. I'm not a fan of Choking Cloud for an Ill/Rad -- I explain why in the guide. Flash and EM Pulse are better choices.

You could get better damage in PA. You could add damage to Blind. You have no AoE damage at all. There are other problems with the build that I see.

Take a look at my guide, as it will give you a lot of suggestions for changes . . . I wrote it because I kept giving the same advice on the forums over and over.


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.)
