I'm a lvl 18 controller with Mind/Kenetics and I have done all but one of MY missions solo. I join groups if I feel like it on other peoples missions and have sidekicked and expemplared(sp) to help myself and others on these missions. The only mission of mine that I have accepted or asked for help on is defeating Dr Vahz in Perez park. I don't have to defeat him in order to complete the mission, but I got whomped the first time it tried to take him on and now it's a matter of pride for me to take him out, even if I have to have assistance in doing it. BTW I'm using a sidekick lvl10 blaster to do this. I have had no difficulty in completing my missions and usually only die when I get cocky OR IF I'M WITH A GROUP.
I have Mesmerize, Levitate, Dominate, Mass Hypno, Total Domination, Transfusion, Siphon Power and Speed, Swift, Stealth and Health.
My range on most of these is great and I can either pick them off one by one from a distance or use the mass powers to help imobilize so I can use the healing to better effect.
I love my character and we like to go it alone for the most part.
So, no, a mind/kenetic is NOT doomed. Have fun!
