Hey, i have made a Fire / Force Feild Controler, mainly for PvP, i picked Force Feild for secondary coz it takes up hardly 0 Endurance.
But i have been told i should have picked Fire / Kin.
Did i make the right choise ?? Or should i remake before i lvl up to much?
Also, if you can, could i have some advice on what powers to take & not to take for the Fire Attacks, i know about Force Feild's so i should be ok LOL !*fingers crossed*.
Any advice, Tip's, Sugestions, i will be so greatfull.
THX !!

The main (probably the only good reason) why you've been told to go for a Fire/Kin is because of its crazy damage. Fulcrum Shift + Speed Boost + Rabid Monkeys = Chaos. However if you are going mainly for PvP then I would recomend Fire/Storm instead for several reasons: a repel and great accuracy debuffer, a -fly power, a stealth with +res and if you like a good disorient power.

It really depends on what kind of PvP you want to do (team/duel? Arena/zone?). For duels, I'd say /rad, for teams, several combos can work (e.g. /kin, /FF, /empathy). Remember that Fire already has -fly with Ring of Fire / Fire Cages as well as a disorient (Flashfire). For PvE? fire/kin all the way

Pve -&gt; Fire/Rad followed by Fire/Kin
Duels -&gt; Fire/Rad, Fire/TA and Fire/FF at the same level
Teams -&gt;Fire/Kin followed by Fire/FF and Fire/Empath at same level too...

Btw /FF 0 endurance?? hah!

Honestly for PvE I think Mind/Storm or Grav/Storm would be better trollers. But then again, if you want to unleash hell and finish mobs in a few secs then Fire/Kin is the way to go. I don't PvP much but for what I've seen, Fire/Storm is a big headache for most ppl.

Fire / Kin only gets uber at 38 though. Plus Fulcrum isn't great in PvP. In fact Kin in general isn't super for PvP due to most powers needing to-hit. Seeing as the most popular PvP zone is Sirens and you get exemped to 30 you won't even have Fulc Shift for it...

I'd opt for Fire / Storm or Fire / Rad. Fire / Rad is early blooming and very powerful in PvE. Plus the toggle debuffs mean its good for PvP too and you get a self-heal.

Personally though I find Storm a more fun set than Rad. Storm can be better at stripping defense too, with 2 defense stripping powers in Freezing Rain &amp; Tornado (no Tornado in Sirens either though). Snow Storm is a more effective slow power than Lingering Rad as its auto-hit, but Lingering Rad has a -regen effect too, great for Regen scrappers &amp; AVs.

Thx for the tips guyz, i have an Ice/Storm Cont allready, ace at PvP - Sirens &amp; Warburg, was not so good in BB. So i dont want to go storm again, also i tried Fire/Kin not for pvp but for pve and i found the end drain so terrible i gave up at lvl 16 and deleted.
And i also have a Rad defender not for pvp for pvp so i diddnt want to pick radiation either, eventhough it is a good debuffing power.
I am a team player PvP &amp; PvE, bu somtimes i am solo in PvP zone &amp; if i am i would like to know i can look after myself if it came to a Duel for example. But from when i have read i get the impresion Force Feild was the wrong choise?
Should i have picked radiation eventhough the heal really sucks in my oppinion especially when compared to the heal on Kinetics (but with Kin you need the accuracy or you will just miss) I know i cant heal myself with a Force Feild, but i thaught the whole point of force feild was not to get hit, attacks deflect off sheild, and with the force feilds i thaught it can stop holds, tp fore, sleep attacks Ect??
Thanx for your tip's &amp; sugestions but i think i'll have to do a little trial &amp; error with my original fire / force feild &amp; see how it goes.

Fire/FF is great in PvP, as Fire/Rad is too. You can't go wrong with any of them
