What didn't you like about Sonic/? Radiation/ might be for you, Irradiate is an early PBAoE attack and generally kins like getting into melee.
It wasn't because I didn't like it, it's really because I was playing my SoAs and deleted the Corr for space.
I'll try Rad/, I've played a Kin/Rad Def to 41, but that was a while ago, so I'll see what it's like on a Corr.
ok, rad/kin is not a leisurely toon, make sure you stock up on coffee before you play, i love the combo, but it takes effort to play it, very active, clicky and edge of your seat with NO mitigation 
sonic/kin is, well, probably the damage king. FS plus -RES is so sick it's not funny.
or, you could try nrg/kin, learn how to use KB well, and amaze the noobs who think KB is "teh sux". this is my new project and is soooo much fun, besides with all the KB'ing powers, getting KB protection yourself is easy and cheap and can be done before level 20.
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

I had a level 20 Rad/Kin corruptor that I didn't play very much because he didn't seem to do that much - but I think I didn't just have any experience with corruptors and was treating him like a blaster.
Then I dusted him off this weekend and played him differently - and the difference was incredible! I respeced out of snipe and hover, focused on his area attacks, teamed up rather than soloed, and got up close and personel as if a melee toon. Suddenly, he jumped from 20 to 25 (which meant stamina and SOs)! Can't wait for FS and endurance transference!
Power Blast.

yes young grasshopper, the secret is, go AoE, treat him as a scrapper range AoE monster and it will all work out just fine (well, fun, it will all work out fun, too much chance of instant death for it to be fine
)with all the /kin goodies being melee range and your first AoE being a PBAoE, you really can take advantage of the "middle of the mob" positioning. just don't forget to fire off transfusion/transferrence on a regular basis, i noticed i had e tendancy to get sucked into the offense and woudl faceplant unexpectedly, but if you pay just a little attention (i can't, but that's a personal issue
) then all is ggod. hope you enjoy the next 25 levels.

I'm waiting till i16 to make an Arch/Kin. It sounds too good to pass up.

I am LOVING this rad/kin toon! Just got transference and fulcrum shift and, man, are those two powers a game changer!
But I do have a question. Once you have those powers did you respec out of the two single shot powers?
Also, I took combat jumping to get a little defense in there. Is this necessary? It seems when I'm fated to die, I die anyway. lol. And the best approach I've developed is team up with a strong Brute, let him take the first strike and aggro ... and be there to spam the transfusion to help him survive the first wave. After that, its area attacks and debuffs all the way, mixed in with transfusions and transference.
I can't believe how this toon has gone from a teen who I rarely played to a 40 who is one of my favorites! I only wish that all the links to the guides still worked so I could tweak him better ... but any advice you have would be welcome and appreciated.
Currently I have 2 /Kin Corrs that I'm enjoying very much. A Fire/Kin at 50 and an Ice/Kin at 41. After playing a Fire/Kin Troller to 50 I've been in love with the set, and I'm wondering if there are any more good combinations.
I love AoE, but ST is fine too. I've always wanted to level a Sonic, but I've always lost interest before I got too high.
I don't PvP, so I'd like something that's good for PvE.
I don't strictly solo or strictly team, so I'd like something that can do well in both team and solo.
My other /Kins have picked up Leadership with Vengeance and my Fire/Kin has the Fighting pool, so something that's not too end heavy is good. (I know I have Transference, but there's a possibility of running out of End before it recharges, and it can also miss.)
Thanks in advance
