Hi,
This is the build that I've been playing. He's surprisingly resilient for a defense-based character and dishes out plenty of damage. I would recommend changing a few things, however. Shadow meld isn't really needed. Superspeed would be useful for trials.

"Well with all due respect Darth. The OP is the Union leader of the Federal Coalition of NPC Bad Guys in MMO Games."
Loved this, thank you. -
I'm sure most kinetics users would agree that fulcrum shift is a bit, umm, overpowered. The ability to easily bring an entire team to the damage cap in short order on a frequent (read: near perma) basis is imbalancing compared to every other tier 9 power. But I think that nerfing it is a terrible idea. People are very attached to kinetics, it would create a lot of ill will among the players if this beloved power was reduced in effectiveness.
So don't reduce it. Instead, share the wealth. If a kinetics character is on a team, allow for a chance of a kinetic enemy in every enemy group, similar to spawning void seekers and crystals when a kheldian is present. How's that for dramatic tension? Any given combat you could be on the receiving end of fulcrum shifted damage! Wouldn't that be exciting?
While we're at it, I think other sets could benefit from similar treatment. How about some super strength/fire enemies? Better be careful going toe-to-toe with these guys. Enemy electric or kinetic stalkers? As long as kinetic combat is bugged crit-wise, let's keep it interesting. So many fun possibilities.
I can imagine seeing this message in the LFG channel:
Level 50 team LF5M. No kinetics!
Just a thought. :-)

So,
Is it possible to have more than one way to complete a mission in player designed content? For example, the players can either defeat a named boss OR rescue hostages/defeat a different boss, etc.
Icebox Man -
To quote another player who posted in this thread:
"Statesman, you should never, ever, consider the penalty of a power dropping your endurance to zero unless that power is absolutely "hell on wheels". Rage does not fit into this category. I'm sure many SuperStrength tankers (especially Invulnerability ones) wished they had chosen a different secondary the day you announced this change."
I have a stone/SS tanker, Hania Stonesong, who would be far better off damage-wise with EM, stone melee, or fire as a secondary. I took super strength as a role playing choice.
Is rage + super strength so far superior to the other secondaries? The fact that this change was implemented shows, imho, a certain ignorance of human nature. Inv/SS tankers are only now starting to calm down after the significant changes made to their primary power set. Many of them respec'd and now they've got their characters parked while they wait for an indeterminate amount of time for the devs to adjust rage. The uncertainty of what that change will entail + the nagging suspicion that more ugly changes may be coming (100% end drop fo a power that is not a top tier power is pretty darn ugly) is probably eroding the trust of many gamers.
Fortunately, I have been playing this game since day 1 and have lots of other characters I can play while this gets sorted out. All the same, Cryptic has lost a lot of respect from me with how they've been both testing and releasing updates.
Regards,
Hania Stonesong: 35 Stone Armor / Super Strength Tanker -
Supergroup name: Unknown Heroes
Members: 7
Colors: Blue and white
Titles: Crusader, Mentor, Old Timer
Our SG has been active since day 1 of CoH but we've deliberately kept the group small. Everyone in the SG is at least college age and everyone is mellow, mature and fun to game with. It would be nice to have more players but at the same time it's great when everyone gets along.
A few of us have been playing nearly every day since release but we have no level 50s in the group. The reason for this? Alts, alts, and more alts. ;-)
Hope you're having fun!
