Ok, so here are my two builds for PvP & PvE. My main focus was recharge (for attacks and healing flames), resistance for psi & toxic, and end recovery. Tell me what you think.

Alright, before I get all kinda laughed at let me say this first:

I was never a claws fan. The lethal, the whole look of them just bothered me. They made it so you could have different types of claws and still it was hard! I tried it the other day and made a Claws/DA (like Bill Z) and I liked it! I thought to myself, "How can I make a Claws brute and get a little more dmg out of it?"

So I re-rolled and did Claws/FA for the Fiery Embrace (the Mid's numbers dont look to bad if they are correct) fiery embrace + follow up. I have a PvE build & PvP build, but in general I'd like to know any feedback on this combo. I'm very aware the FA isn't the best of armors for protection but I was curious and interested.

Any feedback I'd love!

Too squishy compared to what? No, they aren't too squishy depending on how you trying to play him. Get aidself if its a big concern.

I agree with most of the statements on this thread I will also tell you this: if this is for PVE you will be just fine. Earthquake will save your life all by itself.

Here you go. The stealth is the a personally prefence and I'm sure the HO could be taken out for something more helpful.

I know I will get some snickers, but I wanted to try out a a stone/dark brute. I really just wanted to know about the effectiveness of OP and stone stuns pve/pvp & how good the psi proc in CoF is. If anyone has experience with it or numbers I would appreciate that feedback.

Thanks!

So a month later, what did you choose?

Hey hey!!!

I actually made one of this he is now 32 and I honestly dont have any complaints. My rage stacks, which wasnt hard to do after a few levels and since Virtue is kinda low on population I solo a lot and do fine.

One down side I do notice right now having to pop a green every once in awhile...but I'm sure after my full build gets in I won't have to do that. I'm going to post mine up as soon as I get home for you.

Nope you won't! That combo slays everyone and everything! I tried to make one a few times and the weird draws of the /thorns was the only thing that held me back. I wish I could make one and keep with it!

Had travel suppression? I havent played my other kin in a minute. Did they take away the travel suppression??

Anyone got a Dark/Kinetics guide?

I'd agree /kinetics is really fast paced for a first time player. I am making one though very soon

But if you want something kind of solo like I strongly suggest /rad. It's very "I can do bad all by myself." /storm is good too (was a little slow for me). /thermal is another very good one. /sonic, /pain, & /cold give me buff bot... I dunno if you like that kind thing but you could look into it.

I had a friend who made a dark/traps and he seemed to like it a lot too. /Traps can solo for corrs and I've seen it done. And of course, dark/dark is a classic. You can solo with this too.

/trick arrow just isnt sexy IMO.

It really depends on what kind of play style you feel would suite you and what secondary really interests you from start to finish.

May I asked whatever became of this? I was thinking of rolling a Dark.Kin corr myself.

I also recently rolled a grav/elec. I'll definetly consider taking out the AoE immob later for something else. I really wanna ask about static discharge....is it skippable? I planned on using it for an end drainer it says it does -100% recovery to a target. Any suggestions?

Just as a personal preference, I would take out some things to get in at least combat jumping, boxing and tough.

About fire breath, it is a cool power but to be effective done you have to jump out of the mob to hit the mob you gathered better and jump back in?

I understand the angle behind this, I used to feel this way about someone who didn't fully utilize their build IMO. For example. a corrupter player who doesn't utilize their attacks and uses all heals, or a dominator player who on teams uses more assault powers and hardly any holds. I understand the logic...but, if they are contributing cool...and eventhough its kinda like "ugh" everyone is entitled to play how they desire.

Just curious to those who have tried them, know the numbers, etc.

They may not be better then eachother, but which do you prefer? Like?

What aspects do you like about them? Or not like? Feedback please!

I'm seeing some of these dom PvP builds were some focus on defense, resitance patron pool powers and some even use aid self. I 'spec'd out of Mace because the defense wasn't working for me and went back to scirocco for charged armor and surge of power. I would like some tips on uping the resistance of my mind/psi to help him out. He his power pools are concealmeant, speed, leaping, and stamina. I am so tired of respec'ing him and finally am not too proud to say I need help.

Oh now I get it! The forum posts about nothing is what gets everyone going! No reason why there should be 3 pages of forums for this! No reason at all!

This I am aware of...as dark as possible...

Hello!

So for i16, I'm going to make a grav/ice with themed black powers and the main goal is to have slows everywhere!

I want to know if anyone has experience in as much detail as you can give for this combo. I want to know what I can look forward to, not take, etc.

Thanks!!
