Fire/Rad was my 2nd Corruptor, namesake, and first to 50. And it was a blast the whole way up the pipe, something I don't get much anymore, certainly not from squishies. It solo's very well is an excellent asset to a team. Being a flexible build, I really don't have to sacrifice any soloing ability while still having room for Leadership and Mutate, which teams do love later on. My only regret is that I've yet to IO it for reasons unknown(It still has SO's) forgoing it for my Ice/Cold, which I've since stripped, shelved and transfered the infamy.

I intend to move my Fire/Rad to Blue once GR hits where I can afford and have a supply to give him all the bells and whistles he deserves

I'd love to see Energy Melee restored to it's former glory. Unlike others, I don't want EM to have great AoE or control or need a smoother transition in power. What it did well was ST damage and it excelled there. I didn't think it was overpowered because it wasn't something that demolished entired spawns instantly or solo farmed. There are far better sets for just those purposes and EM had it's own niche. It's not so much it's nerfing but the fact things are starting to become all the same in this game apart from the colors of the powers. I'd rather see powersets balanced based on thier specialties.

EA doesn't need a Reconstruction clone. It doesn't need those exotic resists moved to a core power. It's flaw is as simple as being a poorly thrown together powerset, after Ice Armor fell through, taken from an AT with completely different needs and given several band-aids since. The Power Drain heal and toxic res weren't the first buffs to the set. I recall it getting a bit more Res and Def shortly after CoV launched. It's not a terrible set, it has it's own niche but could certainly get some help. A peev I've always had with element theme based sets is the fact they do not all of them cap the defenses on which they are based.

Hero AT's do not need or have they ever relied on Inherent powers to perform well(Scrappers have always had Criticals). When CoV released and those AT's that were built around Inherents were released they were added to Heros just to shut people up.

Dead horse here. We know Fire needs some love. With the introduction of Shields, some even say it is the set that Fire should have been(I disagree). We can only hope that Castle keeps his word and can do a little more magic on the set without just making it like every other set. I wouldn't expect KB protection to be added any time soon(IO's, Acrobatics) but would rather see it become the offensive set that makes the defensive sacrifice worth it.

Ultimately, you should do with your playtime as you wish. If you beleive a power set to be so broken and that the devs will not fix it proper, don't play it. When the EM changes went live, I deleted those characters and have no regrets to it. My Tankers don't need an inherent to do thier jobs and my Fiery Brute gets by one way or another. YMMV.

This. I really don't mind playing as a support character, Kin is a set that I like to play because not only do teams love having them but you boost your own effiency as well so it's win-win. Until SB comes along. Kin is a click-heavy set and once slotted up, theres always something to do and be using. Fitting in SB isn't usually high on the list of priorities, with the exception of hard fights and teammates who really rely on it. I toss it out as I can and most teams are fine with that. Theres always the one ****-head, though, that absolutely demands it the second the mission starts and every time it wears off. Then I'll make it a point to keep everyone SBed except said ****-head.
