My problem of course, is that the healing and resistance buffs are largely PBAoE, but if I follow them into melee the whole thing wont work s well, since hte build is gearede towards ranged defence, and its unlikely tht I could cap both that and melee without making unacceptable compromises in performance otherwise.
    Use a different concept. You don't need to have the exact same concept to get used to masterminds.

    As for how to tankermind with melee pets, all I can say is that with my lvl 50 Necro MM, I've never had any luck trying to tankermind. Bots/FF definitely. But, with my Necro/Psn MM, I generally just send the grave knights in and follow them up with debuffs. That seemed to work much better for me.

    If you want to get used to the tankermind playstyle, try Bots, Mercs, or Thugs. I think you'll have better success.

    I thought they changed it so pets don't block players anymore. Can't you just walk right through them?

    IMO, the best place to pick up more ranged defense would be Maneuvers. You could take it at 38 and move Super Speed to 50 and drop Rise of the Phoenix. Then slot it with a full set of Red Fortune. You could take one slot each from Fire Shield, Tough, Hover, Health and Stamina. This would give you about 4% more defense to all, 2.5% ranged defense, 5% recharge, and 2% damage while you'd lose a small amount of resistance.

    You don't necessarily need the single target immob. Fossilize also has -KB for 12 seconds.

    And, I will vote for Earth/Storm as well.

    EDIT: I'll also add Sonic blast can use other epics as well since it has Siren's Song, and the stacked -res really helps the attacks from Elec and Power.
    Yeah, that's definitely true. I didn't think about /Elec or /Sonic. I will say that, for a Kin/Arch though, I don't think there is a better APP.

    Kin/Arch/Elec help

    POST-ACTION

    IMO, the Psy APP is the only good choice for a Kin. Mass Hypnosis->Fulcrum Shift->Rain of Arrows->Fistful->Exploding drops all minions and lieutenants in a spawn. (even level)

    I've got two builds that I can post. The first build is a high recharge build. This was the first build I went for, just to say I could have perma-hasten. After getting there and realizing that I didn't really notice much of a difference after about 60% global recharge, I dumped a bunch of the recharge bonuses and went for a lot of Ranged and AoE defense. In the second build, both ranged and AoE are around 33% which when teaming, all you need is a very small amount of defense to soft cap you. So, here they are.

    One other thing maybe more experienced people could answer will the Fire Proc in Irradiate ignite the Oil slick?
    I am gonna go Magic or Tech just in case but, was just curious if it would.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, I would guess that the fire proc would light the oil slick since it should light with any kind of fire or energy damage. However, you don't really need it since nearly all (if not all) of your rad attacks are energy damage, they should light the oil slick as well. Don't worry about the Magic or Tech origin.

    this subject is strange. what does this have to do with Fords, cars in general, the assembly line or anything else related to the subject?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, it was Nixon, but Nixon has been used and other pres been used. Figure I would be different.

    Assemble snorting lines. People would flock to that job.

    You guys make me laugh, your funny.

    Do you mean Gerald Ford then?

    Gerald Ford was president.
    Henry Ford was the founder of Ford Motor Co. and the inventor of the assembly line.

    I still don't get it, but whatever =)

    Looks fine. I think Combat Jumping would be more useful than a one slotted Total Focus :P

    and after this latest patch, does FF+chance for rech proc still work in pets?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I think it does....when I summon my phantasm most of the time it does.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It should still have a chance to fire when you summon the pet, which would give you the bonus. However, pets no longer get recharge buffs, so the proc is pretty worthless in any pet...

    Also, last time I checked, it doesn't exemplar at all... regardless of level.

    How about the 'not firing while exemplared' bug?
