Hey guys,

Im playing my first fire/kin, and I'm having trouble deciding between : Fighting - Boxing, Tough, Weave
Or : Leadership - Maneuvers (and which others would you recommend).

At the moment, Ive also got Hasten and SS, but I really like the look of Acrobatics, and Im already going for Combat Jumping for the Defence etc...Is Acrobatics really good ?

Thanks guys

Waste of a power, get the knockback IOs, you'll get more than enough to withstand most knockback

The 4 pool powers, and the powers i got within those 4, i got on my fire/kin are

Speed : Hasten, Super Speed
Fitness: Hurdle, Health, Stamina
Fighing: Boxing, Tough, Weave
Jumping: Combat Jumping, Super Jump (i got these at level 47 and 49 due to not really wanting anything else)

Also i only got combat jumping to slot a LOTG +7.5% recharge in it, never bothered slotting it for defence

As for leadership, i'd advise agaisnt that. I'd rather get defence and resistance, than just defence. Accuary isn't really needed, and as a fire/kin if your not on damage cap 90% of the time, then stop playing it, so assualt is usless too.


Finally for Epic, the 2 best (imo) are Fire and Psionic

I pretty much always go for fire as i only farm with it, however if your more a team player and doing "proper" missions, then the mez protect from the Psionic pool is great.

Fire Ball does more damage than Psionic tornado, but Psionic tornado does knockdown, and can be slotted with the +100% recharge proc.

Fire Shield if you farm the deamon map
Psi Shield if you want some extra Psionic defence

Instead of Superjump, should I take Maneuvers? I dont think I'll need a second Travel Power on this build...I've got Hurdle to get over those tricky obstacles.

You said you're getting combat jumping, So you'll already be at your 4 max. Unless you don't get combat jumping, then no don't because you can't

I have...

Fitness: (for obvious reasons) Swift, Health & Stamina
Speed: Hasten
Leaping: Combat Jumping (slotted with LotG (if I had one) +Stealth and a Knockback IO)
Teleport: Recall Friend

And for epics I have Psionic on one and Ice Mastery on the other though I might change that to Ice too as I'm bored with Psionic.

Was thinking of going presence/provoke instead of recall friend to make mass herding maps easier just wish there was such a thing as a taunt proc so I could taunt cheaper.

And I use my fire/kin(s) for farming, missions and the odd TF. And currently I only have one build as I can't really afford to slot a second build. (Way too many alts.)
