Build Help

[Masked Revenger]

Okay, so I managed to get Sidekick-Boy up to level 6, and now I need some help.

He's an emp/rad defender, and so far I have the following powers:

Healing Aura
Heal Other
Nutrino Bolt
X-ray Beam

At 6 you get a pool power, but I'm wondering if Ressurect isn't a better power to get than a pool power. Or, if there is a pool power I should get, besides a travel power, what is it? Thanks!

Res can wait. It takes a long time to recharge, and SHOULD be situational.

Also, at that level, you can still solo well. thus, having powers that help you AND your team is important.

You should get Res when you have a free power slot though. (Non-needed pool, or primary. It should come before an attack, if you plan on teaming.)

If you want to be useful to a group, teleport friend is always helpful at low levels.
Just an idea.

An attack is a good choice at this stage of your career. Resurrection can wait a few levels.

I'd vote for whatever pool power opens up the pool you need for your travel power of choice (combat jumping for super jump, maybe air superiority for fly, recall friend for teleport, or hasten for superspeed would be the common choices). With Neutrino Bolt and X-Ray Beam you should have a pretty good single target attack chain for the time being. I've read good things about irradiate, never taken it. At level 6, unless you're in the hollows, folks shouldn't have much of a problem getting back into the mission quickly. If you're in the hollows, folks should know to take awakens and be careful on the way to the mission. Just my $0.02.
