Hehe,

Nice Combo... This is the toon of choice for Power Levelers, just add the Infamous Family Map, and you will be paid to power level... not that I condone the activity for new players.

Blasters kill everything, usually before they get killed themselves. When it comes to dealing pain, a blaster has no equal. We just have a hard time taking our own medicine! So we love Tanks and 'fenders!

RE: Fire/kin help 

Fire/kinetics is an awesome build, when ever i get a chance to team with one, i do. This build basically takes the role of controller (via holds) and blaster (via Fire damage/boosting power)
Fire works with perfect symetry with kinetics being both are very close range affective.
Stand in the mob, fire of all your buffs/holds and watch as the mobs burn!




Triumph
Mutation-Stone 50 (Stone/Kinetics/Ice)
Proffessor.Benaz 50 (Fire/Rad/Fire)
Granite Guardian 38 (Stone/Fire)
Energy-Burn 33 (Fire/Energy blaster)
Dark Matter 30 (Tri Warshade)

Freedom
Ember Temptress 50 (Fire/Kin Corruptor)
X'aos 50 (Dark/Dark Defender)
Ice Bot-KLR 38 (Ice/SS Tanker)
Metamorphix 33 (Spine/WP scrapper)
Kizu Mecki 20 (Spine/SR Scrapper)

RE: Fire/kin help 

Thanks aurrius, i noticed that there is no travel power. i was thinking about the same thing.....do u think its a good idea to substitute siphon speed/inertial reduction instead of a travel power?

Siphon Speed (when slotted the way I slotted it) can easily be used as a travel power, because you will just about always hit the enemy, and you have plenty of time to find another enemy to use it on when it's about to run out (even better, you can stack them for more than 24 seconds).

Inertial Reduction is even easier. Once you get it, it'll be your new travel power. 2xJump will make it fast, and high, and 1xRecharge will enable you to stack it.

RE: Fire/kin help 

Siphon Speed doesn't relly do the trick. If your going to have hot feet activated and stand in the middle of a group. Your going to need some defense. I suggest getting Combat Jump,Super Jump and Acrobatics.

RE: Fire/kin help 

Siphon speed will work fine until IR gets there. My level 32 Ill/Kin never took a travel power. It works just fine and gives you extra power pool slots. When I got IR I respeced out siphon speed and its all good.

Avant Guard = Emp/Rad/Psychic Defender Lvl 50 (Dedicated Healer)
Astral Plane = Peacebringer Lvl 50
Spica = Fire/Em/Energy Tank Lvl 50 (Scranker)

Avant Kin = Ill/Kin Controller Lvl 36
BMG = AR/Dev Blaster Lvl 27
Avant Psy = Psychic Blast/Empathy Defender Lvl 20 (Offender)
Avant Def = Kinetics/Energy Blast Defender Lvl 16
Avant Stone = Stone/Storm Controller lvl 15 (Super Controller)
Umbral Plane = Warshade Lvl 14
Triumph
Lord Yu = MA/Regen Scrapper Lvl 24
Protector
T-99 = Ice/Ice Tanker Lvl 20
Electrostun = Electric/EM Blaster Lvl 21 (Sapper)

You do realise that Siphon Speed gives you a 20% recharge bonus? So if you stack it, that gives you 40% recharge! Keep it for the recharge... not the speed.

RE: Fire/kin help 

That sounds good, but I haven't noticed the boost at all. Even looked for it and timed it and didn't notice a major difference. And to get a long lived double stack requires slots for recharges or hasten taking a slot. I need slots and other powers. I'll probably get it back later, but for now other things take precedence.

IR recharges quickly enough that it is basically perma. The recharge and duration are about the same.

Well im not an expert on this (thats why i made this thread) but as a blaster i would rather have the endmod than the speed, the speed is nice but there is no need to up it so IMO i think end mod is best way to go
