I think a good partner for a kin/sonic defender would be a tanker. he can hold aggro and you can buff him up. Then if anyone else joins you have the perfect base for a solid group.
Speed Boost and Increase Density will help your tanker friend a great deal by making him faster and even tougher in defense. Later on you get an aoe knockback for control and then later on you get an aoe cone sleep that is perma. You and him and take out a spawn of mobs one at a time while nearing max damage from your kin damage bonuses and /sonic -res debuffs. I play a kin/sonic and when i have a good tanker on board in my teams mowing through mobs is a gravy train of exp and fun. Kin/sonic so far is my favorite character to play. Lots of buffs that make a difference and the -res debuffs and sonic controlls are lots of fun to play with. The build just gets stronger and stronger.
here is what i'm planning on doing with my kin/sonic defender...

A friend and myself play on virtue. my kin/sonic is named Wolf Howl, feel free to look me up sometime. @Slider2 is my global id i think.
Sounds good to me ill pass along the info, Right now the Kin/Sonic is teamed with my Energy/Elec blaster >.> I prefer a ranged fighter But hey! Ill give a tankie a try if you think that duo woul dbe better
welp, the important thing is to play something that is fun. one thing to remember is that once you get Increase Density, it will help with the blaster's survivablity as it adds energy and smash resist. It won't help against everything but it helps against those two things.
have fun.
Kewlie ^.^ Thanks for all the info! Meh friend may post on this posting soon with their own two cents, But from the original Pepperkitty, Danke!
Hiya all, Posting for my friend who cant access the forums while in game, They had a Kin / Sonic chara going at the moment and after browsing some of the other postings anythign involving Kinetics seems uber, Have any tips? What to expect later in levels? And what would be a good sidekick? Energy/Elec blaster maybe? A tanker? Scrappler? Thanks in advanced for any info or tips!
