First time defender... Kin/sonic help needed :)
IMO ID is something you should take, but it's not something you should be giving out as much as Sb. I have it and it's basically useful as a mez removal (except sleep) and that's about it. it's duration isn't long enough to make it worths lotting with dam res IMO. It can be handy for KB heavy AV's like Diabolique and Shadowhunter as well as it's anti-KB.
You could skip SJ all together and stick with IR, but IMO for a Kin Fly with hover Siphon speeded is where it's at. Stay above the masses and buff away clear of AoE's etc.
I usually just completely wing my build, so I'm perhaps not the best person to ask! I have no clue about Sonic but i'd say you want everything from Kin with the exception of repel

@Miss Chief
So this is my first ever defender past lvl 4 (currently lvl 21) and nearing SOs I'm thinking of respeccing this.
... So this is where I need your help. Some things I'd like in the build are:
I'm not even going to try to compose a build of my own because I've never ever played a buffer / any other kind of defender before
-SJ or fly as travel power
-hasten to stack with siphon speed
-no increase density.. I find SB to be enough buffing alone :s
-leadership, preferably up to vengeance
-other team friendly powers too, it is a team character after all
Thanks in advance for any help!
