Fire/Kin and I used SS + SJ. I keep SiphonSpd on auto most of the time during missions.

I spent alot of my time as a fire/kin teamed with other kins, and let me tell you, speed boost+stamina solves all of your end problems. Find another kin and make friends real quick, that's my advice

There's a post on the US Boards, I can't find it at the moment, but it basically said that the changes to MA with I6 gave it a net increase overall.

The chain he gave for best DPS was.

SK -> CAK -> TK -> SK -> CK -> TK

You'd only want to use this on an AV, GM or +3 Boss from my little play with it. If it's even cons up to +1's and +2's then I'll run in, hit Focus Chi then Dragons Tail, Eagles Claw, Crane Kick and then CAK. Which should leave at least one boss and may an Lt. or Minion dead.

I'll be there with my MA/Regen. First hami raid as the 2nd last I was 44 and the last I missed

Would bring my troller but he's a hair short of 37 so no good.

I'll be there with a freshly respecced Fire/Kin Rapid Ember! Lets see the stalkers run through Hot Feet! Will be there with the Goonies, ICONites, Monkies and Renegade Outcasts! w0000t!

Hot Feet, as I said I'm still not sure about. I think I do wanna take it though.
Stamina I'm not gonna take for this respec, I could probably work it in, and I know I'm gonna suffer, but I know an Earth/Kin who suffered a bit with End. after dropping Stamina but after picking up Consume it sorted things out.

I have at least one more respec I can earn before 44, and with the 2nd Respec TF being so easy, if I need to I can run through and respec again.

Just about to hit 37 so I'm gonna go for this build, dropping Grant Invis and picking up... I dunno, Repel (for pure comedy value) or Whirlwind as it's pretty good in PvP with the whole not being rooted during attacks.

I'm almost 37 and gonna respec. Everything will stay the same apart from one power. I tried Invis over stealth and it'd be way too much hassle to use.
The power I'm taking out is grant invis, even with only SB and ID I'm too much of a buff bot for my liking. What to replace it with I'm not totally sure. I might take Ring of Fire for an Imob to use on AV's - other than that I'm not sure.

I got a lvl 50 Fire Kin and may i say what a fab choice u have made i would get plenty of control powers and allow ur imps and fire blast powers to do the dmg.. i would also recommend Smoke as this can allow you to get right up to them and Cinder them or fulcrum them etc.. its quite a useful power altho some may disagree. Also.. Consume and Transferance? I think ur overdoing it on the end drain / return. Maybe a few time reductions in one and dropping the other? This could make room for Smoke..

They r the best char ive played so far mate nice one

Thanks for the replies so far.
As far as smoke goes, that's why I'm picking up Stealth, or Invis. With SS + Stealth I can have complete invis. and can walk up to a mob and Cinders/FS etc.

Having both Transference and Consume is gonna be needed. Running CJ, Accro, Hot Feet, Fire Shield and attacks. I might not take Consume, but I won't be taking smoke as I'll definately have an invis.

I suppose I could work do up a bind/macro that would drop Invis and put Cinders on Auto. I'll just have to test it out.

Anyone else got comments on the build overall.From what I've seen of Fire/Kins and even just Fire/ it seems to be pretty bog standard. Just a few pool choices.

Hey guys,
I'm about to hit level 35, but want to start planning this respec now. Waiting till 37 to do it 'cause I'm a cheapskate and I'm gonna sell all my enhancements :P
Anywho, just looking for comments on this build.

There were about 5 or 6 slots that didn't have anywhere to go so they were just thrown in.
In terms of power selections, I want to go down the "Concelement" road, but I'm not sure if I should go Stealth > Grant Invis. or Grant Invis. > Invis.
I much prefer Invis.' look, and the Chest Detail bug that goes a long with stealth sucks.
My big concern is it's actual use - I want stealth for SS+Stealth into middle of a spawn and then hitting Cinders. If I were to do this with Invis. would the time it takes to drop Inivis. and hit cinders be enough for the alpha to hit me?
I'll live with Stealth's drawbacks if Invis. won't let me safely pull that move off.

Apart from that, Hot Feet is a big "if". I'm gonna respec on Test and try it out, as I've never used it fully slotted before. If hot feet goes, then out goes the Leaping line and in with Hover and 2 other Powers.

Anywho, comments on this build are greatly appreciated.

What kind of image size do you want? I'll get to work on something when you say.

To level you just have to find a trainer. There is one in most of the zones, but if your at a loss to find one just head to Ms. Liberty in Atlas.

Around lvl 13 you should try either Atlas, Skyway or Steel.
In steel the trainer is near the centre of the map, in front of a giant statue.
In skyway the trainer is about 200ft from the Yellow Line train station, in a little "park".
'Course you know where Ms. Liberty is.

Title says it all really. I'm just about to roll an Ice/Storm 'troller, and I'm planning on taking the Ice Epic and the Ice armor that comes with it. I'd like to be around the same size as Jack Frost, and get as close a look as possible too him.
Granted I won't get very close, but I'd like to get the height/build right at least.
So anyone got any scales on his size?

Build looks fine IMO - in fact I might draw upon for my respec at 50, one or two pointers though.
I'd consider dropping Thunder Kick, after I6 it's not longer the bread and butter attack it once was - it just doesn't have the damage to finish off that minion who's just below half heath anymore. With the amount off attacks you have, and each having 2 Rech Reds. your gonna have lots off attacks that are up and not getting used.

If you really want another attack maybe put in Crippling Axe Kick - it got a pretty hefty buff in I6, and although the animation time is still pretty long, it's a decent attack now.

Focus Accuracy needs a few End Reds. I have 3 in mine, and do fine, I also put an end red in Integration, though I don't think that was entirely necessary.

Some of your attacks, Dragons Tail in particular could do with swapping out a Recharge Red. and puttin in an End Red. Most of my attacks have 1 Recharge and 1 End Red - I guess it's just me but I like to always have enough end Though I did do my respec in the middle of a carnies arc, so that might have had something to do with my need for end :P

I'm not so sure about MoG - I'm still deciding whether or not I really want to take it, I think I will, as I had dropped it before 'cause it always left me dead after it expired mid battle, now that debt isn't a problem (at 50) I think hitting MoG when a battle goes sour and ripping everything to shreds will be fun to pull off every now and then... though dying 3 minutes later when some minion sneezes on me will be quite embarrassing

What server are you on Idris? If your on Defiant I can show you what Energy Torrnet looks like - or find an Energy Blaster, I think Power Push is the same thing.
The graphic is like most Energy blaster attacks, except it's red in colour, the animation is sort of a sweeping motion of your arm like your about to slap a dwarf in the face with the back of your hand :P It's a very useful power, as I only have on PBAoE in dragons tail.

For now I use it for knockback only (no damage enhancements) and use it as a starter, will run in, throw out ET - this will put most of the mob on their back, hit Focus Chi, Eagles Claw the Boss, hit Dragons tail to put a good portion of the mob on their back again and Crane Kick the boss - this'll get a boss down a good portion of healt, and have most of the mob on their back unable to touch me.

Energy Torrent FTW!!!
I've never played Katana, so I don't know how many AoE's you have, but as lvl 49 (50 tonight at around 7 anyone on Defiant! be there or be square!!!) MA/Regen scrapper - Energy Torrent is a great opener for me. The power takes a bit of getting used to get the most of out if (best if you aim target someone at the back of a spawn) but it's excellent. Either slot it for mainly for recharge and knockback (it's knockdown), or damage depening on if you have many ranged dammage attacks. Thing is, ET is tier 4 - so you have to have 2 Powers from the Body Master pool - Laser Beam eyes is a good attack, with a decent animation and quick recharge, does fairly moderate damage. With my current build (about to be respecced) I opted for Conserve Power, I've only used it a dozen times since I repsecced right after I6, but it is very handy against carnies, malta and dying... With the carnies, it's those damn Dark Mistresess, the ones that debuff you with -regen and -recov. I'd get through 4 attacks and have no end - drop toggles and get held. With Conserve Power - she's now lying "arrested" on the floor. It's also very helpful for when revive isn't up (I don't have it anyway) and you just popped an awaken, soon as you have enough end to turn on toggles, pop Conserve Power and go slice and dice! Your small amount of end will keep you going and it'll recharge faster than you use it thanks to CP

wahhooo! gratz again ward! I'm almost there myself!

Thanks for the replies guys - but it doesn't look like I'll be respeccing today After leaving the updater all night, it still have 7 hours left to go (even though I copied my CoV beta files into the CoH folder )
Any answers to my questions in the first post?

Any tips or pointers on this build? I've got lots of attacks thrown in as I've dropped hasten. SJ as main travel, but I wouldn't mind going for Air Sup/Fly (though maybe not as you can't hit it's cap no more ). Should I drop 2 powers and pick up Kick/Boxing and then Tough for a bit extra defence?
Recal friend can be replaced with either Warriors Challenge or Revive, should I?
Finally, I'm not totally sure about Body Mastery. If I do keep it, with Focus Accuracy on, my attacks all have a 108% TH on Bosses (of course higher for Lts. and Minions) - after taking the acc. SO's out, ACC drops to 86% TH on Bosses. Is it worth having ACC's SO's in (as I'm capping at 95% Acc) or should I take out SO's in Focus Accuracy?
Anywho, here's my build, and I apologise for the lack of though put into this post, it's 2AM and I'd like to respec ASAP tomorrw, want to get as close to 47 as possible
