I was thinking about earth I really like this powerset and I also like rad and kin so.....which one I am very unsure about this..as kin gives free travel powers ^^ and buffs ofc and radiation could be used as heal if need possibly (please let there be an empath in my teams) yeah and plus radiation seems so damn cool

Hard choice hehe,
But if you want Kinetic just for the Free Travel then you better get Rad.

Both are awsome with Earth, and Both are awsome as Troller so .... Choose the One what is looking cooler to you simply because you will see it a long Time.

P.s. Emapth ? for what, he Mate youre an wandering Earthuake no need for an Empath.
Just get Teleport Friend and show Poo where the Enemie is

I hit L50 with my Earth/Rad last night after beatin Lord Recluse on STF. All I can say is that I love my toon and it's been great fun to play with. Earth/Rad got an uber potential for crowd control and it's fantastic for AV fights. Be warned that your damage input is minimal tho. Kinetics might help you do a bit more damage but it will still be very little. Earth trollers aren't meant for damage but for massive control.

Earth/Storm is crazy fun. Masses of control and debuffs. Great in teams and, once you get the higher level storm powers, a reasonable soloer.

Not to mention the Earth/Storm is also great in PvP.. A good earth/storm can hold an /invul scrapper with Unyielding and Unstoppable running (Trust me, I've tried it on my scrapper )

Not on sure why on "earth" you would say that. They may rule the hollows, but come the late levels...

Id say go with what looks and feels cool. No set is gimped or uber although some require more finesse than others.

Im currently pondering an earth / sonic... Buff your hyper resistant pet up to spectacular resistance for instance, then put disruption feild around him (no aggro for you in issue 9) and you have a mini tankette with a -resistance debuff (and -resistance may well be the key to AV's these days since issue 9). Throw in quicksand to lockdown those enemies in the debuff zone... Add to that AoE mez resistance (including yourself) and clarity buff... which in late levels is worth its weight in gold... Earthquake AND liquify? I wonder how those would stack...

Earth/storm... nuff said

Earth/TA is a very nice option too. Although both earth/kin and /rad are nice too. Heck Earth is just the coolest primary a troller can get!

Ice must be the coolest, surely?

Earth/Rad looks very nice, but I cant work out slotting for it. If I could I'd have one

If you get a -kb IO you can skip acrobatics in PvE and get quicksand earlier or get Stone Prison in there. Other than that this would be a very good build.

If you want great fun and challenge, go for Trick Arrow. You can't imagine how good it is.
Slows, damage res, acc, perception, and def debuff, an extra hold, what else do you need? Your enemies won't even have the time to hurt you. Hard to master, but TA is pure F U N. Trust me.
