Rad/Rad build
Neutrino bolt is a good mule for Achille's proc. I would put one in Irradiate as well.
Radiation Infection is more useful primarily slotted for tohit debuff. The achilles proc does will in this power, too.
Accelerated Metabolism is underslotted for recharge. You want to keep this on a fast recharge with Hasten. The speed buff, the end recovery are nice, but the damage buff should not be overlooked either.
Enervating field probably needs 2 End redux IOs.
Mutation appears overslotted to me. Aim needs more slots if you can afford it.
Choking Cloud is a real pig using endurance, you need at least 80% end reduction. The lockdown proc is golden in the power. Split acc/hold IOs will allow Choking Cloud to hit with more accuracy unless they changed that recently.
Hover needs at most two slots: Luck of the Gambler 7.5 recharge proc, and maybe a flight stealth.
If you plan to solo, fighting pool will bring you more. I really like EM Pulse for the burst -regen in tough fights. Power mastery with Buildup for Lingering Rad, EM Pulse and Acclerated Metabolism are a good fit. Conserve Power smooths out the decreased recovery after EM Pulse. EM Pulse is not a full end crash. I am pretty sure you can power boost Fallout as well.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
(1,2,5-7) Chasing set bonuses to get desired HP/DEF/RECH
(3) I will also have Ageless Radial Destiny...so AM had less priority for recharge, but the damage boost is dually noted...and I will consider reworking to accomodate for that.
(4) It's that bad? With all the recovery I have I would have thought to be ok, but I will reconsider the slotting.
(8)EM Pulse is not a full crash? How hard is it? I typically avoid crashing T9's all together, I don't have a use for a crash, but...if it leaves enough to still function...
This toon is planned for incarnate trials and end game content, I never exemp much if any at all, and even then it's usually on my badger toon to chase badges(which is not this toon)...so I opted to go for the boosted DEF from Scorpion Shield in the Mace Mastery pool. For sheer survivability do you think that I would be better off taking Primal Mastery?

Per the tomax.cohtitan numbers: EM Pulse has a -1000% recovery for 15 sec. It's not a full end crash. If you have a recovery boost power like conserve power or power sink or dark consumption, the 15 sec drain on recovery is manageable.
The PbAoE mag 3 Hold is very manageable, especially stacked on choking cloud. 1000% -regen is a big boost to taking down the EB, AV, GM in tough fights.
I guess my comments before on end usage of enervating field, choking cloud, are predicated on using EM Pulse in the package.

Hmm...I will have to have another look at it, and see what I can rework then, maybe get EM Pulse into the build.

ULTIMATE REGEN GUIDE I22
As a player of Rad/Rad and Dark/Dark I think you might be asking for too much by hoping that Rad/Rad will be more fun. I don't get how it can be exactly but maybe it looks it to you.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I love my Rad/Rad. I think it can be every bit as fun as a Dark, but I am really skeptical if it'll happen with the build you have posted.
There is a LOT I would do differently.
I'd drop choking cloud. I would only keep it if you also have EM Pulse, which you don't. If you can add EM Pulse, in then maybe.
Mutation is over slotted.
AM may be underslotted. Especially if you want to solo much. As Psy said, it's not just more end,and more recharge, that extra damage is very noticeable.
I'd want more accuracy in Lingering Rad. You really don't want it to miss vs an AV/GM and you don't have a ton of +Acc or +Tohit. Guess you could always use Aim first, but I like to get all the attacks that I can that dish damage out during my +50% dam bonus.
Again, echoing Psy, Achilles' Heel is better in Neutrino. Chance to proc every sec instead of every 10.
However, Neutrino is kinda paltry on the damage so I doubt I'd slot it for max damage. Slot for Acc and Recharge, and then make it a proc cannon.
Also, even if you don't make Neutrino a Proc cannon, I'd still move the Def ATE somewhere else. I'd say Cosmic Burst. Since the Def ATE proc (like all ATE procs) is a PPM type, and not a percentage, you have no gain in slotting it in a superfast power like Neutrino.
I'd lose Fallout if you solo much, or are aiming mostly on the iTrials. It is, in my experience, very rarely able to be used. Of course, if you don't exempt much, you maybe should lose Mutation for the same reason.
A lot of things are underslotted for end reduction. If you run full out as is, you'll be sucking wind fast. Of course, if you took Power Mastery in place of Mace, you could add in Conserve, which would really help ya lot, especially in a longish AV/GM fight.
And the biggest biggie.... RI. Needs -tohit debuff. I'd cap the tohit debuff values if possible. I'd not worry about -def at all, as your attacks can provide enough extra if RIs base level -def isn't enough. But really, even at it's base it should be plenty. My .02 dollars worth, I'd slot it with an Enzyme or 2. I paid billions for Enzymes to use in my RI, but now they cost 10 million-ish, I think. That way you can boost -tohit and +def at the same time, and get nice end reduction values. I do like the chance for damage and chance for damage and chance for assorted debuff procs in here, however.
If you make RI a better survival tool, you'll not need Scorpion Shield. Then, you can go Power Mastery, and it'll be a much sounder choice. Everything about Power Mastery works for a rad/rad. PBU, FoN, Temp Invul, Conserve Power (which I mentioned above [and previous posters also mentioned]) all do good things.
Hope some of that helps ya.

(3) I will also have Ageless Radial Destiny...so AM had less priority for recharge, but the damage boost is dually noted...and I will consider reworking to accomodate for that. (4) It's that bad?

For sheer survivability do you think that I would be better off taking Primal Mastery? |
(3) As long as it's up all the time, and you get max end mod out of it, you'll be fine.
(4) It's horrible. You don't have close to enough to debuff and hold cloud at the same time. Thus, I'd skip it. But there are other options if you want to keep it, but as it is, this won't work well.
(8) Nope, not a full crash. 15 seconds of basically no recovery, but if you blue bar is nearly fullt o start and you don't have otehr end issues, you might not even notice. If you are huffing to start with, though, it will not be fun.
Lastly, as I said in my previous post, I think Power Mastery is a much better choice for a Rad/Rad, but only if you get survivabilty elsewhere. For me, I went RI for that survivability. And Force of Nature for the tricky spots (and Eye of the Magus, too). But with RI done well, and the self heal, smart inspiration use is often enough for most situations.
Also, note for added survivability, Lingering Radiation, has a massive -recharge, and a good duration. So if there isn't a pressing need to target it for the -regen on a AV or whatnot, throwing it around to suppress incoming attacks is a good idea. And Enervating Field is not jsut a -30 Res, it's also a -25% damage, too.
I have a rad/rad def I'm pretty happy with. I didn't get flight so that might be a problem for you. I do have Combat Jumping for some def and minor mobility and Proton Volley for no good reason other than I enjoy firing off photon torpedoes so it would be easy to switch to flight pool if you want to. I'll copy/paste my comment from the last rad/rad thread, nothing has really changed for her.
I wanted my Rad/ Rad defender to be able to solo so I buffed up her defense as high as I could (actually I should pull some energy def out but I don't want to lose range def). Am I the only one that does this?
For alpha slot I'm using Intuition Radial Paragon since I do so much holding (including Ion Radial Final Judgement) and ever other bonus given by this Alpha affects something I have.
I've used boosters on some of the enhancements to eke out a few extra percentage points here and there. +5 levels in recharge reductions in Haste, Dam/End in the 2 attack powers I use alot (Neutrino Bolt and Irradiate), End/Hold in Choking Cloud, End Mod in Stamina and End Reduction in Assault.
Proton Volley is just in for the fun factor it has. If a fight looks like it might actually be dangerous I open with Radiation Infection followed by Lingering Radiation then Enervating Field. That doesn't leave much time for a snipe power even with my boosted range, you could easily skip this. When I picked up Summon Disruptor I thought it would also be just for fun but this guy does really good work. I've held EBs with his help and he can solo LTs safely. I have to use Lore pets if I want to take down anything above EB though.

Thanks bjay0801. I had a look at your build and the first thing that jumped out at me is you have a lot of attacks. One thing about rad/rad is we generally want to have high + to recharge so we can get permanent Accelerate Metabolism. As a byproduct of this is our attacks come back up really fast. You might want to look at some of the attacks you find aren't working for you and swap them out for things like Combat Jumping and Assault. Speaking of AM you want to get it recharge a lot closer to 120 seconds. I don't think triple slotting with recharge reductions is needed but you could use the End Mod/Recharge from both EA and PS sets to get it's recharge much lower.
I like 1 slot Vengeance as a easy way to get some recharge (using Luck of the Gambler) but I try to follow up using it with Mutation so they poor sap I'm taking advantage of get something out of it. Of course Mutation doesn't really do you any good directly but it can make teammate happy so I try to always have it.
How often do you use Radiant Aura? If you use it enough to make the procs you have slotted useful the end drain must be harsh. They can only trigger when you activate the power. I would move the procs to Health (where they get a chance to trigger every 10 seconds) and slot RA with as much heal and end reduction as you can get.
I really wanted to like Atomic Blast but having all my toggles drop was a pain. I eventually gave up on it and use EM Pulse as my "Get out of Danger" panic button. You have fewer toggles and could do something like eat a small blue then use Power Sink to fully recover so it might be less of a problem for you. Do you find AB seems to get you killed a lot?
No Sig
I have Atomic Blast on my Rad/Rad. Grated, I rarely use it while solo, but teaming, it can really shift a bad situation to a win fairly dramatically.
Yes, all my toggles drop, but so to do most of the enemies. If there are still enemies about I eat a small blue or two, and just retoggle RI. After the -recovery portion goes away, I can worry about the rest of my toggle.
That said, it's very situational. I could easily lose it and not be too disappointed. So, if you wanted to swap AB for EM Pulse, that could work for some people and builds. If you don't that works, too. I'd say on that it's more a matter of what set bonuses you get out of it and just preference.
I use atomic blast when I'm in deep over my head. But that's why I went with electric pool just to have power sink. I do want to lose some of the attacks that I'm not using and put in more defense. I will also take a look at swapping the proc and placing it in heal. Good idea. *I smacketh my self*
WHO DAT!? WHO DER!?
I love my Rad/Rad. I think it can be every bit as fun as a Dark, but I am really skeptical if it'll happen with the build you have posted.
|
Rad/Rad following a tank is amazing. My main build has confront which comes in handy for picking off that pesky flunky plinking away at someone on the team.
I'd drop choking cloud. I would only keep it if you also have EM Pulse, which you don't. If you can add EM Pulse, in then maybe.
|
With hasten, mutation with one slot comes up really fast anyway.
AM may be underslotted. Especially if you want to solo much. As Psy said, it's not just more end,and more recharge, that extra damage is very noticeable.
|
I'd want more accuracy in Lingering Rad. You really don't want it to miss vs an AV/GM and you don't have a ton of +Acc or +Tohit. Guess you could always use Aim first, but I like to get all the attacks that I can that dish damage out during my +50% dam bonus.
|
Again, echoing Psy, Achilles' Heel is better in Neutrino. Chance to proc every sec instead of every 10.
|
However, Neutrino is kinda paltry on the damage so I doubt I'd slot it for max damage. Slot for Acc and Recharge, and then make it a proc cannon.
|
Also, even if you don't make Neutrino a Proc cannon, I'd still move the Def ATE somewhere else. I'd say Cosmic Burst. Since the Def ATE proc (like all ATE procs) is a PPM type, and not a percentage, you have no gain in slotting it in a superfast power like Neutrino.
|
I'd lose Fallout if you solo much, or are aiming mostly on the iTrials. It is, in my experience, very rarely able to be used. Of course, if you don't exempt much, you maybe should lose Mutation for the same reason.
|
A lot of things are underslotted for end reduction. If you run full out as is, you'll be sucking wind fast. Of course, if you took Power Mastery in place of Mace, you could add in Conserve, which would really help ya lot, especially in a longish AV/GM fight.
|
And the biggest biggie.... RI. Needs -tohit debuff. I'd cap the tohit debuff values if possible. I'd not worry about -def at all, as your attacks can provide enough extra if RIs base level -def isn't enough. But really, even at it's base it should be plenty. My .02 dollars worth, I'd slot it with an Enzyme or 2. I paid billions for Enzymes to use in my RI, but now they cost 10 million-ish, I think. That way you can boost -tohit and +def at the same time, and get nice end reduction values. I do like the chance for damage and chance for damage and chance for assorted debuff procs in here, however.
|
If you make RI a better survival tool, you'll not need Scorpion Shield. Then, you can go Power Mastery, and it'll be a much sounder choice. Everything about Power Mastery works for a rad/rad. PBU, FoN, Temp Invul, Conserve Power (which I mentioned above [and previous posters also mentioned]) all do good things.
|
Good stuff.
