Looks weak.

I'm pretty sure Beta Decay is what will be hit when it is transferred over to stalkers. Which is a shame, because an aura that gives +recharge seems like it would be incredible for a meleer.

Well, an Elec Armor Stalker's greatest weakness is anyone who knows what Ozone smells like.

Looks interesting. I look forward to seeing the numbers.

Ummm, a RES set with no holes and a heap of heals/absorb. Yes please!

EDIT - Also, horray Scrappers getting another taunt aura set!

Interesting set,although it doesn't offer any kind of Def,DDR,Confusion and Fear protection,it seems to be still an fun set. I'd make one as an alternate to DA for a Tanker. With IO sets and Incarnate slotting,it'll be another keeper for me.

Looks like I'll finally have another Tanker on my second account just as wicked as my DA/TW on the first account!

Looks like a decent set, but as has been pointed out, that's really hard to judge without
a) Numbers
b) Having actually played it.


But, I fairly well dislike the theme. I can't think of comic book precedent, and while I admit that alone isn't reason not to have it, I just don't think of 'radiation' as meaning 'armour'. I'll grant, that the comic concept of radiation 'granting' some type of super toughness is well established, but the Hulk isn't tough using radiation, but as a result of it. I'd much rather have some armour types that are actual armour. Like 'metal plate' and/or classic 'powered armour'. Or maybe an all Parry type set. Or a magical protection type set that acts a lot like Invul, but without the huge Psi hole (obviously the other numbers would have to be lower to keep balance).

Of course, depending on how the effects look (and how much they can be turned on and off, or tweaked) it may be able to fill a role other than of 'radiation' but sets that are popular in spite of their concept almost always popular because of being on the very high performance end.

Radioactive Man.

I wonder if the 'God Mode' power Melt Down has a crash or not

It could be fun to run around with Melt Down active and after the crash let yourself faceplant and then self rez/nuke with Ground Zero

While I was doing the Mag Trial, it occured to me that Nega Pendragon had some abilities that are suspiciously like what was listed here. Anyone know if he is indeed Rad armor?

I've contemplated more armor sets like this for a long time, Radiation being one of my favorite Defender sets.

I've long though that by tweaking Support sets a bit, you'd end up with pretty good armor sets. Combinations of self buffs and PBAOE debuffs to grant you your protection. You might end up with more of an active defense like Regeneration than just the "I WIN" most people prefer with Willpower.

Kudos for you for putting it out there! Maybe I should get to it and post my idea for Kinetic Defense. Yes I know the name is similar to something we've already got, but hey, it's based on everyone's favorite.. Kinetics! Pseudo-Fulcrum Shift on a Tanker anyone?!?



Anyway, I might recommend making a tweak- instead of doing -DMG, +RECH (both sound pretty familiar) maybe consider something like -RES. That'll increase your damage.. and the damage of your team!
