GREAT build example. I get IOs and sets now and my Fire Tanker will be wonderful once I get the billion or so necessary to outfit her in IOs. ;-/

Three questions: (Either for the great and powerful Scrap or the class at large)
(1) I had Build Up and Fiery Embrace before and didn't seem to get much benefit out of them, even slotted pretty well. I'm considering replacing them with Ariel Superiority and Fly, because fly is so handy in places like the Shard. (Or maybe 2 other support powers, like Recall Friend and Aid Other). How badly will this affect the build?

(2) I like the AOE build, but would miss Fire Sword and Greater Fire Sword. Looking at the numbers, I pulled out Char and Fire Ball and replaced them with FS and GFS. It looks to me like if I take your Single Target Fs and GFS slotting, I lose some Regen but pick up a little Recharge, and Psi Resistance. Am I doing the math right here?

(3) I can't imagine I'll be able to slide into Wentworth's and just buy all those IOs and HOs. So, what should I have on hand before I respec and what needs to be filled in next as I continue the long march to uber?

Thanks.

So... My Rad/Kin Corruptor just hit 40 and I'm thinking Patron Powers. I like the Mako set because, well, frickin' sharks (though sadly without lasers). I tend to play as Scorapper, relying on the no-knockback attacks and short range heals, but I play well on teams too, providing all sorts of buffage. How are the patron powers for a Rad/Kin?

Okay, I'm on the long road from 40-50, with only a few power choices left. I've got all the standard stuff, but I wanted a second opinion on how to finish out the build.

My options:

Firey Embrace & Build Up: Don't have either of these, but I haven't really had much in the way of damage or accuracy problems, except perhaps with Greater Fire Sword (and that'll be fixed by another Enhancement Slot or two of Accuracy).

Rise of the Phoenix: I know that I could just carry Rez Inspirations. OTOH, I have died more times since hitting 40 than I did all of 30-40. Darn those Carnies and Malta Sappers.

Incinerate: I don't think I need another attack, but I'm listing it for completeness.

Flight: I bought Hover because even with Superleap, Oranbega and some cave maps were a pain without it. I like what I've seen of the Shadow Shard, and it looks like I'd need Fly to get around well. Should I just 6-slot Hover with Speed SO's instead or will Fly help me get around there?

Conserve Power: I'm pretty sure I'm going to get this one.

The Fire Epic Pool: I hadn't really considered it except for flavor, but I could use something for ranged attacks for the times when the bad guys refused to come down. I suppose I could also get Frickin' Laser Beam Eyes along with Conserve Power.

I'm thinking: Rise of the Phoenix, Conserve Power, Laser Eyes and either Build Up or Fiery Embrace.

Opinions?
