thursday at 7 sounds good for me - i'm not sure what has good synergy with kin though. energy or electricity for concept perhaps.. hmm!

Electricity works well with Kinetics, you can get some pretty good endurance drain going on. Energy doesn't really, as ideally for Kinetics you want the bad guys to be grouped, and near you. Knockin' 'em all over the place will probably leave you swearing at yourself.

I've just built a Kin / Lec defender for that very purpose (as a sapper). I was considering sticking a couple of end mod enh's in the electric attacks. Is the end drain component of LB, CB etc worth that, or just better stick with damage?

Short Circuit and transference and your nuke are the only major end sappers in the set iirc.
That's correct, but really, with Kin primary, if I were taking the Thunderous Blast (and I would) I'd slot it 3 damage and 3 recharge, not for drain. Why Drain them, when you could just kill them instead? 
Not to mention the fact you have Transferrance and Short Circuit for any survivors.
Slotting Short Circuit and Transferrance for Endurance Modification, and with the Power Ancilliary pool for Power Build up, you would have an extremely impressive drain based build, while still using the Nuke and any other attacks you might take for damage. Think of the drain on the other attacks as just a top up - it can help to keep enemies drained, but is sufficiently low that enhancing it would give you no noticable return.
Absolutely agree about TB; best nuke of all the blasters imo - so there's no way I'd be slotting that with end mod. I have it on my lec / lec and 3 dmg / 3 rchg is exactly how that is slotted (aim and buildup take care of the acc buff) The only reason I was thinking about slotting some of the standard attacks is because elec / elec blasters have power sink and iirc that's only available as a Defender epic; but then of course I was forgetting about Kin's transference.
Either way, sounds as if I'm going to have myself a Malta nemesis with a Kin / Elec hehe.

So, might get this all defender team rolling sometime. I've still not decided what I'll make... but how about we have a first meet this tuesday coming? Say at around, 6pm ish? I'm not fussed over servers, so let's say union for now, unless lots of people have that server filled.
Count me it. Union is good for me. I'll have a ponder about what I fancy making.
Dead Calm's Defender Manifesto
I'm making mine a kin/psi I think. If there's gunna be another kin/, then I think we could all skip fitness and maybe go into leadership instead. You know, for the amazing def/acc/damage from a bunch of toggles sort of thing
So then, who IS coming? It's gunna be a bring-your-own defender team, level 1, atlas park (Or tutorial if yall want), union. On Tuesday, at 6 I think, people can join late.
Still not decided on mine, thinking kin or storm /psi at the moment.
Can anyone who's coming just post here so I can get a vague Idea if it's worth doing or not then? Thanks 
Union, at 6 PM? I should be able to make that, I'll just have to figure out what def I want to make 
Just a reminder yall, get ready to rumble tonight!
On as introspecter, just d/ced though.
Gah, totally forgot about the damn thing >_>
Urm havent read earlier posts, but first thing that springs to my mind -
Wouldnt an all Def. team be a bit low on the damage front?
The thing is, defenders have great debuffs and buffs, meaning an all defender team would possibly exceed normal blaster damage in relative safety.

[/ QUOTE ]You'll be at the damage cap most of the time, with a lot of -res going around, and with very high survivability. It might not be quite as high as all-blasters, but high nevetheless.

Indeed. Last night with five of us we were steamrollering missions at level 1. It got a bit sick frankly when we hit the hights of level 2.

What mix of primaries did you end up with?
Defiant 50�s: Generalissimo, Righteous Bob, Splortch, Brutus Cayuga
Union 50's: Chimera Obscura, Diet Anthracite, Grim Proctologist, Puny Little Minion, Raging Bitumen
In Soviet Russia, mission farm you!
How high did you get, do you have room for more, and did you agree on the next meeting time?
We were only on briefly in the end - ran a couple of missions and hit the giddy hights of level 3. I'm not sure when _Spirit wants to run the team again, but I'm certainly up for it.
I think we had
Sonic/Sonic
Kin/Psi
Rad/Rad
Rad/dunno
Emp/dunno

I say, bump this idea to the new year and reboot it towards the end of Jan. Select a date, time and place and stick to it.
I've been playing a TA/Arch Defender as my main since I started playing CoH and I love Defenders! This team could kick [censored], and I'd like to see it happen!
