Thank you for the well thought out posts.

I might switch to Kin/Ice after reading all the information. I want to have kins, but also do some damage if needed.

1. Would it be wise to take stealth to help with travel if I use the Inertial Reduction instead of the leadership pool.

2. By "ED", do you mean the enhancements have diminishing returns? Is that 3 per any type of enhancement per power. If I put 3 damage enhancements into a power, the 4th will be less effective and I probably should use an accuracy or endurance reduction. Is that what you are referring too?

I am kinda new to the game and was wondering if my build would work? I really do not know what powers are a waste and which are not. I just based this on what appears to look good. Questions on my build and other things are below after the build. Thank you to anyone that takes time to review my post and respond.

1. Can I get enough reduction into hasten that I will be able to keep it up constantly. If so, how many slots will this take using mainly SO's? I want to have this up all the time so I can get as many stacks of powers as possible.

2. I skipped a travel power because I see many that say kinetics can use their powers to travel. Will I be okay with this build, or should I take super speed? How much faster is super speed than the siphon speed. How many slots would I need in that ability to equal super speed if that is possible.

3. Many post claim I do not need stamina, but I went with it cause of all the abilities I am going have on at once, plus I am new and wanted to get use to the game. I was not sure if the drain endurance would be able to keep up if I have to continuously use it. It does not seem like it would be enough if I miss one.

4. I went with electicity, but I see a lot of fire kinetics. Is the secondary skill going to make or break me at the end of the game? Is there a lot of bosses immune to electricity?

6. Is there a way to make a custom button on my bar? I want to make a key for some of the emotes, but do not see anyway to make one?

7. Is there a default key to press to respond to the last message that was sent to you. When someone sends me a message, I am right clicking on their name and selecting chat. Is there not an easier way to do this by just hitting a key?

Again, thank you for your attention.

-I did not know if there was some kind of deminishing returns on the SOs. So I wanted to make sure if I used all SOs I will get the full benifit from each one.

- I do not see all those commands on my hotbar for my pets. I just have an attack, follow and stay. Does this mean if I tell them to follow they are automatically in bodyguard mode? Attack would be aggressive and stay is passive?

EDIT: I see where you can change the stance by right clicking on the pet. Does this mean I can right click, change it to passive and as long as they are on follow, they are now in bodyguard mode?

I am kinda new. Returning from 3 year break. I played a DM/Regen scrapper then, but only to level 36 or so.

I am currently playing a Thugs/Pain Mastermind at threat level 25 right now, but have a few questions that I was wondering about.

1. When I talk to a trainer I have the option for a primary and secondary buid. If I create a secondary build, can I still go back to the primary if I do not like it? Also, once I create one of the builds, is that locked in forever now, or is there a way to still change my build later?

2. I have a mission that deals with stealing capes. At what level will I get to wear a cape? Is this mission required before hand, or can I Just skip this and still wear a cape later?

3. If I use all SO enhancements, is this bad in some way? Should I be mixing the enhancements with SO, DO and regular training ones?

4. I hear other MM talk about bodyguard, defense mode and aggressive mode for their pets, but I have no buttons on my hotbar to set my pets in these modes. How do I do this?

5. I went to a tailor and was able to pay for a costume change. How often can I do this and is this different that the mission at level 20 I heard about.

Thank you to anyone that takes time to respond to my post.
