Do you get Hasten on your corruptor Kinetic? if so why?
[/ QUOTE ]
I did not. I use Siphon Speed regularly, had few long-charging powers (I don't nuke often), and had plenty of powers to click that I didn't figure I really needed it. I may be atypical though, and I tend not to take Hasten on many toons.

No actual travel powers, but I did pick up Air Superiority (for offense and mitigation) and Hover (tactical and at one point for KB protection).
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
2 slotted hover is good for 2 blesisng of the zephyrs. It helps to get to soft capped ranged defense. Add one more slot in for an LOTG +Rech.
The same 2 blessing of the Zephyrs can go into Fly as well.
The only reason to take hasten is to get the powers up more quickly and I've taken it on my kins for that reason.
I like Hasten on my Kin no other toons have it though.. keeps me with 3 Siphon Speeds usually and gets all mah powers to recharge that much faster since I am an End Hog...
I skipped the SJ power in Kinetics and went with Hover/Fly-Hasten/SuperSpeed... I like the Hover to keep close to the frey and avoid Melee n AoE's when there is alot of that.. SuperSpeed for those teams that are kinda slow or fast and Im not able to keep Siphon Speed on me self but rest o team has SB...
I personally take hasten on all my kins, it really helps with keeping 3 siphon speeds up which then helps you get very close to keeping hasten permanent. Its not needed but i couldnt think of something better to take in any instant tbh.
As far as travel powers go, It depends. For solo builds I will take hover as well as the entire jumping pool (-jump kick) for CJ and Acro. Reason for those being, the hold and imob protection as well as hover to keep yourself at range which is of course important if you plan on capping range defense.
For team builds I wont take any travel pools except speed and thats only for hasten.
I always take Hasten on my kins. It's needed to keep three Siphon Speeds stacked. I've tried without Hasten and it just doesn't have that crack monkey feel I associate with Kinetics unless I have Hasten.
I also always get Combat Jumping on my kins. With so many powers requiring you to be in close range to use, being immobilized can be a death sentence. In the past I would use Siphon Speed as a pseudo travel power along with mayhem temps until 28 and take IR then. Nowadays I'm leaning more towards just taking SJ. Recasting IR every minute when I'm fiddling around at the market and crafting and such gets old real fast.

What? Is it on auto? Uhm...why not simply just take it off of auto re-cast?!? Fixed.
Cause IR > SJ, unless you're going all the way to Acrobatics.
I still get hasten on my kin corruptor. I'll always need more speed.
As for travel powers. I'd say 75% of the time I don't, 25% of the time I do (I've played more than one kind of Kin). Naturally, the siphon speed and inertial reducution will get you to where you have to go, but sometimes Siphon speed+hover is just easier. Now, that I'm a 60+ month vet, I don't even have to take hover and might just go striaght for flight. In that case I'll likely respec my kin out of IR.
When you get what travel power will likely impact your descision as well. Also, a mayhem mission or two will also get you the travel power you'll need in the early levels. So you might just put off any travel power descisions until later when you respec.
I hope this helps

It's not on auto. The problem is I'm impatient. When I'm finished with whatever I'm doing I want to go now. Not wait for the long cast on IR before I can move. Plus since I can just leave a regular travel power toggled on, and do on most of my toons, I'm in the habit of just taking off. Except on my kins I do this lame little hop, remember I need to cast IR, *sigh*, cast IR, then I can go again. Repeat this again once a minute, and yes it gets old.
If the cast on IR was made non-rooting and interruptible I'm sure I'd feel differently.

1. Yes because I'm staminaless and I want Transference and Power Sink up ASAP.
2. For PvE I have the fly pool simply because its nice to be able to hover above all the AoE's yet still catch a 10 stack of FS and refill my health/end bar.
IR is a great power but the end cost can be prohibitive at times especially if your debuffed and just want to escape with a couple of bounds.
I skip hasten on my kinetics because I get tired of hearing the hasten sound effect go off constantly. For those that haven't noticed, if you have hasten active, hasten's sound effect goes off again everytime you cast a power with any kind of pet or pseudo-pet. Kinetics has a lot of pseudo-pet powers.
Minor thing to most people probably and I know a lot don't even play with the sound on, but it gets on my nerves.
