Fire/Kins are the classic powerleveling build and for good reason. Fulcrum Shift mixed with Hot Feet and Fire Imps allows them to do crazy damage while things like Cinders, Fire Cages, and Flashfire which give them plenty of AoE control, which also boosts Hot Feet's damage. They also have a nice heal and endurance heal that they can use on themselves (Transfusion and Transference). So really, once you get a Fire/Kin into upper levels, they become beastly. If you play on Infinity I could show you...
Heroes:
Spectral Storm, lvl 50 Illusion/Storm
Powerlevel Man, lvl 50 Fire/Kin
Rider of the Flames, lvl 26 Fire/Fire Blaster
Sound Barrier, lvl 24 FF/Sonic
Cap'n Ghostbeard, lvl 24 DB/Regen
K'zilix, lvl 12 WS
And, lvl 8 Invuln/Fire
Villains:
Lt. Surge, lvl 40 Elec/Stone
Skull Cyborg, lvl 29 Bots/Traps
And various other lowbies...
Server: Infinity

Theres not much more I can say, as most of it was summed up now, but this should give you an idea about it.

They should just rename Freedom to "Fire/Kin".
I almost built a Fire/Kin the other day, and then I decided against. There's too many.
City of Heroes/Villains
Onion - L50 - Katana/Super Reflexes/Body Mastery Scrapper
Scotch Bonnet Girl - L50 - Fire Aura/Fire Melee/Pyre Mastery Tanker
RonJ73 - L50 - Stone/Energy Aura Brute
Aurora Australis - L41 - Willpower/Energy Melee Tanker

I agree, I play on Freedom and Fire/Kin controllers are like roaches.

That was a great vid! Brings back the memories.
Any of the old timers like me that were in the game a long time ago remember when the Imps were handled a little differently. You would get 3-5 per summon, and they were on a timer that you could up to 6 slot with recharge rate enhancements. Mix that with Haten and there were times you could have from 9-15 Imps out at one time. Your own little army.
And back then when you summoned them, one-two of them would be above your level, the rest at your level.
Instead of them being perma-pets, they did also die on a timer so you were constantly resummoning as soon as the power recharged.
Now with that in mind, think about an 8 player team. Start adding in one, two, three Fire/Kin Trollers. They come with their own Targeted PBAoE heal and Endurance recharger. And Fulcrum Shift has to be one of the all time best powers in the entire game. Kinetics in general is a great set overall.
Three Fire Trollers in one team could EASILY have over 20 pets on the screen. We never actually had to lift a finger. Just wander ever so close to the first mob in a group. They would do all the rest.
The vid shown is POST nerfs from hell. And they are still that uber.
Damn! The hairs are standing up on the back of my neck right now. I need to log back into CoH and break out ole Asphalt Mage again. Other than my Electrical Blaster, the mage had to be one of my all time favorite characters!

That farmer was so SLOOOW. I could outfarm him anyday. Want proof? Roll up on Virtue and I'll show you what a real fire/kin can do.
W.P.
my current project: Spine/Will farmer, Quillpower, on Virtue.

well i guess they can kill pretty well...but why make something everyone and their mother uses.
I'm on freedom so the number of fire/kin controllers is ridiculous.

I actually used to play on freedom also but I almost never saw a fire/kin troller. I did group with one once and I think that was the only one I ever saw. It may be a new trend but I dont know since I hung up the cape for a while do to money difficulties.
