Primary Paired with /kin for PvP Corrupter

I'm fairly certain that I want to choose /kin as my secondary, at least for now. My question is, what primary should i pair with /kin for maximum effectiveness in pvp (ie at killing people and staying alive).

Thanks.

For a corrupter I would have to say fire for a primary.

Rad, because everything in kin rolls a tohit and hitting things in pvp is important and harder. And cause rad has a mez built right in to the chian so that you'll be able to occassionally use transfusion to heal yourself because anyone good will prevent that from happening often.

Mostly I just wouldn't do a /kin as it was one of the hardest hit by Castle's f'd up pvp vision. The biggest draw of kin was the movement ability, but Castle just said screw it to that.

What about ice?

Ice, in pve, seems to be doing more dmg than Rad. In fact, i made a rad/kin and started using the first two powers and I noticed how little dmg the set is doing. Ok, ok, i know it's just the first two powers, but compared to the speed and damage of ice at the same level, it was very noticeably lacking.

I'm guessing it works better in pvp. Also, what about sonic?

The reason i want to go kin is because it's just a fun set for me, and lately, i"ve been just playing combos that are supposedly good in pvp even though they aren't that fun for me. So, I figure, I'd try to have fun once in a while....so to speak. So, at least for now, I think I'm going to stick with /kin.

rad or sonic

Hit the pvp toggle on mids and you'll see why you don't want ice. Or just pull up the power info in game and hit the pvp button.

pve =! pvp.

I have a Ice/Kin. I don't PVP with her. She's pitiful now.

not an expert using mid. I see where it says mode: pvp/pve, but I'm not sure i can readily tell the difference in mids. I'll keep looking.

I'll help you out. They changed the way powers calculate damage in pvp, so now longer cast times generally equal more damage.

Ice for corrs is comprised of 3 st attacks that all have a ~1 second cast (defs and blasters have a different version of ice blast). So they all do pretty low damage. As it is, probably the lowest damage of all the corr sets.

It is still workable, if you already had the toon I'd say just go with it, but if you are just rolling I'd recommend considering non-ice options.

Ice blast is lol now.....frost is right it is the worst blast for dmg per second. Here is the order for best dmg per second on corrupters.

Best Dmg per Second:
Fire---Rad---Sonic---Energy---Elec---Dark---AR---Ice.

Best Secondary Effect:

Sonic---Rad---Elec---Dark---Ice---Energy---Fire---AR

BTW.....you will get rolled on kin if your a corrupter....a blaster (Sonic Blast) will have you half dead before you know it...WITH a hp build...it will take too long for you to find a target to heal off...much less get in melee range to take use of it. If you really want to play a "buffer" in zone i recomend either Thermal, Cold (shields and frostworks is sexy) or Pain Dom. The buffers i don't recommend is kin, or lol sonic. They [censored] on sonic so much.....i dont' think that set will ever see the light of day again.
