Ice/Kin Build help

Posted

Hey guys, I have just started a Ice/Kin and am having a great time.

The main problem im having now is how to slot all my powers and what powers to take, cause I have never used Ice or Kin before.

This will be mainly for PvE and I want to take all the buffs from /Kin.

Ty for any advice

I love my Ice/Kinetics corruptor the only villain I've managed to get to 50

From Ice make sure you take Ice bolt, Ice blast, and Bitter Ice Blast (unskippable powers) then I recommend taking Aim, Freeze Ray and Blizzard (nothing in the game feels as good when you fulcrum a nice big mob of freaks BLizzard and you kill them twice as they rez ^^).

From Kinetics I would take all the powers apart from Repel then also skip IR if you take acrobatics.

You definately want Stamina ASAP then the rest of pools are up to you

This is my current build on live works great in pvp and pve

Generally like the build and very much as I would build one myself but a few things I dont agree with?

Why the end reds in your attacks and superjump? seeing you have both transference and power sink end shouldnt be a problem at all?

Not much point in taking health on a squishy as the return is neglible....you'll get much more mileage from the hurdle/swift combo.

Wouldn't recommend defense buffs in CJ....go with jump enhancements here instead

Other than that...nice build

You seem to be in great fear of not having enough endurance. Rest assured, Transference and Power Sink will provide ample supply.
So, even if you plan for PvP in SC that´s no reason to be that timid with your post 40-slots. EndRdx in Power Sink might be very situational as you will likely apply it mainly as endurance debuff as soon as it is up rather than as endurance filler when you are in dire need (and as such a third EndMod would rule).
And two EndRdx in Charged Armor, Assault and Tactics are definitely overkill. None of these toggles are that expensive. I can understand one EndRdx in Assault as you do not have too many choices there, but all the others are definitely not needed and would be of greater use otherwise (third DamRes in Charged Armor, third EndMod in SB, more DamRes in ID etc.).
