Seeking a Final Build for my Rad/Kin
Wow, this is amazing...Noone can help me with a final buid? Is Rad/Kin that unpopular for a team only AT?
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.
Ok here I put a quick one together. Have a look, see what you think and go from there. You didn't give a lot to go on so I just did what I thought fit. I went with Super Speed for the stealth power because I never make a kin without Hasten and it saved a power pool not dipping into Concealment that way. The last time I checked level 50 stealth IOs were quite affordable, so put on in SS and you have PvE invis.
I used SOs mostly, but even cheap frankenslotting would improve the build a lot.
I picked Mu mastery for Power Sink mostly to give you the option of playing the sapper if you want. Sub out whatever one you prefer.
There's not much single-target, but for a team-focused build I figured that'd be ok. Only thing that stands out that I don't like right now is no Aim.

Cool, Thank you VERY much, this is exactly what I was looking for. Been trollin around the boards attempting to find someting...anything, and found an older one, but I hate it.
Thank you for your time in doing this, and SO's is exactly what I needed, I have a few IO's to use, but not much and I am not putting anymore money into it as everything I get on this and my main Brute with the farms and TF's is all going to my new toon.
Thanks again
O...BTW...This makes me wonder...Is Rad/ not that well liked with /kin or something as I cout the 2 cant realy find much about them both combined, realy strange.
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.

This is what I would do. Go with the Leaping pool for Combat Jumping to make it easier to get into melee range for Fulcrum, Transference, Transfusion, and Irradiate. Don't worry about picking up Health because you won't need the piddly regeneration, and you won't be picking up the healing uniques for it either. Don't worry about Accuracy in Atomic Blast, just pop Aim before you use it. Then use a blue inspiration, pop Transference and be at full endurance in no time. You don't need Power Sink or any other powers in the epics. Just go with the shield for some added survivability. Also, don't worry about Hasten, just use Siphon Speed for added +Recharge. Go with Neutrino over X-Ray due to the higher DPA.
Also going to reiterate what Supernumiphone said: Set IO pieces will help greatly in getting your attacks at a reasonable level of Acc, Dam, Rech, and End. You may look into some frankenslotting options in the long run.
Rad/Kin is a decent combo due to several factors. The -Defense in Rad Blast allows your Kinetic powers to hit more often, the +Damage in Kinetics allows your Rad Blasts to do absurd amounts of damage, and Irradiate keeps you in melee range for your buffs and heals. It's a win/win combination.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well Rad/ isn't all that popular in general from what I've seen. Kinetics usually gets paired with high damage blast sets with fast activations, and Rad/ isn't one of them. Then there's the fact that the secondary effect is worthless in most situations. There's not a great deal of synergy between the sets.
It's a nice combo for a team-focused build, but it's rare to see anyone running one of those red-side.

Yeah, I have a level 50 Rad/Kin concept character and I share the same assessment. The -Def secondary effect in Rad is almost totally worthless, especially these days with all the sets that give +Acc bonuses.
Rad's main problems are that it doesn't do a lot of damage, and it only has one decent mitigation power (Cosmic Burst). Electron Haze is sort of a mitigation power, but it's REALLY slow to activate and is a cone. The three Area powers (Irradiate, Electron Haze and Neutron Bomb) don't work well together because you have a PBAoE, a burst and a cone with knockback, so you can't get the same effect you can from Fire Blast's Fire Ball, Rain of Fire and Fire Breath.
It took me three years to level my rad/kin to 50. I finished it out of dogged persistence; it never got to be a lot of fun. Nothing in Rad works really well, everything is just sort of weak. I would rate it as the worst blast set by far. It does have some cool sounding effects, but that's the strongest recommendation I can give.
Given how destructive Shivans seem to be, you'd think a Rad/Kin would be great. But it just doesn't happen with players. Do Shivans have some -Dmg Resist component in one of their attacks?
My advice to the OP: work on something that's more fun, unless you're deadset on the EATs. But I didn't find them all that much fun either. They're very much an acquired taste.
Thank ou for all yoru replies.
My rad/kin is now my 3rd 50, and she is only used in TF's, when I don feel like using my Brute or Bane/Crab.
Yes, I know the damage isnt that great. But to me, it is fun to play, I mean, how many other sets actualy Lob attacks at foes?
When I first started playing CoX a year ago, I played a hero and became facinated with the Vahlziloc in the sewers. So much so that my first toon to get over 30 was a rad/rad def. and in that lin, I ended up playing red side and made my rad/kin, but didnt play her for quite soem time. Then I started getting into team that wanted a kin more than anything else, so I took her off the neuclear back burner, to neuclear charge the teams I was on, and finaly, after playing her off and on over the past 6 months, I got her to 50. I havent actualy lvled her to 50, she is stuck at 41 while I attempt to get the parton arcs done, then I will lvl her up.
All you guys/gals help is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.

But look at all the procs that a ranged attack(/PBAoE/TAoE), defense debuff, accurate defense debuff power can take. Yes, the secondary effect on its own is kindof worthless but it opens up a lot of IO possibilities that other sets don't have.

No, but they use the Elite Boss damage modifier (scale 8.65) instead of the Corruptor damage modifier (0.75). It's just a wee bit higher.
it has gone from unconscionable to downright appalling that we have no way of measuring our characters' wetness.

This thread has been quite informative. Created a rad/kin a few weeks ago and was hoping past 20 something magical would happen. May have to ditch the lvl 18 guy and choose a new primary.
Nah, Rad/Kin is realy fun, especialy pre 40...the secondary effects of rad is almost needed (Whether people are aware of what you are doing or not) in teams. Def debuffs are killer in teams...I dont use any ST attacks, just my aoe's with my kin powers that way I can debbuff everthing at once and keep the team speeding on. Personaly, nothing beats lobbing giant yellow balls at mobs MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.
hey all. I got on a KICK [censored] team this morning and made 45. I plan on some respec TF's tonight with my VG. Can someone help me with a final build?
I dont expect to solo with it at all. I will be running TF's and as a back up kin on farms. Hoping the build will have usability on a Cap run as well, which means hover/fly and stealth and summon team.
Please can someone help me with this? I SUCK at making builds and aside form my Dm/Sr brute this is the last toon I will be working on for quite some time.
If possible, I would like to keep it at SO's and maybe a couple of cheap IO sets as I will be putting most if not all my Inf, tickets and future Merits away for a project I am currently working on with a different special (DE DE DEE) toon.
Thank you in advance for any and all help guys/gals
