Elec/Kin

I understand that elec/therm is probably better, but on paper elec/kin would appear to do ok in zone in a disruption roll. Run a therm and kin tag teaming the same target and I see quite a bit of potential there. Anyone have any experience they would like to share as an elec/kin in RV? How about the mentioned tag team? Thanks for any feedback.

Not only is it an increadibly effective build, but it's probably one of the few that I think are still fun to play. You can go through someone's endurance at an alarming rate - way faster than a therm, and it's not too bad on survivability either. Obviously the heal isn't as effective as a therm's heal, but it certainly has its uses - not to mention, it's always hillarious to kite kin heals off of people - about as fun as a lightning rod kill.

i do not envy people who come up against kins or thermals in sirens come i16.

Jeez, you're supposed to say its 'ok' and 'passable.' Now I'm going to have to roll one up. Isn't the heal much higher than the therm self heal? I know you have to close to melee range for it. What is the heal hitting for, 400?

Thanks very much for the feedback.

wow, why did I think this was melee range? That heal while low, is still better than the thermal heal. I'm really going to take a hard look at this build. Thought's on a patron?

If you plan on playing it alot in rv get soul storm. Getting into melee for the heal is pretty easy then. It will also give you power boost. With pb up you can heal well over half your health in one shot plus rip off a huge piece endurance.

There is one of the korean sgs that run a therm/kin tandem and its literally the only thing I have seen them bring to zone that I have to worry about.




And like solo said, they will make sirens a pita in i16. He and transference in sc.

You know, maybe its time to slot up that level 50 kin/elec def I have sitting on the shelf. Might be fun.

Elec/kin is going to take alot of skill to play......should be a good challenge. I really dont see it doing well against blasters though. But if anyone can pull it off, its Blood, Mac, or Smeg. Its def. going to be alot harder to play then say a psi/fire dom or Elec/Therm Corrupter.

I have an elec/kin I have recently built for PvP and it does take some skill to utilize, but it is extremely fun. With transference you can take 1/3 or more of peoples end with one shot. Slot voltaic sentinel with end mod set and bye bye end. Also toss in two end mod set IOs in each elec power for extra kick. I am using Mako for hibernate but will likely respec into stealth/soul mastery . I sure like having assault and tactics though. We shall see.......... I really would love soul storm and PB. PB especially. Your teamies will love you for SB as well. Now I just need to fit fulcrum shift in............

Hmmmm i have an ele/kin def on freedom and elec/kin cor's on Freedom and Justice (i made them when ele/therm were fotm). Anyone have sugestions for builds (other than con's). I really like kin's for PvE so I thought they would be fun in PvP.

i got duty tonight, so i cannot acces mids on a gubment computer system, but when i get home in the morning i will look at a build for you philly, just hit me up in game and gimme you email addy then.

also had a question on this topic myself, so, down to the AT's defender or corr? my guess would be the corr simply because of the deadly scourge... but if i am not mistaken the defender's kin and end drain from elec is a little stronger right?

Corrupters > Defenders

I would like to see Yes I Sell? and a good elec/kin on the same team. It would probally make people throw there keyboards across the room or this.....

As a corr you can also take soul for powerboost which cycle way faster than pbu and soul storm hits like a ton of bricks that with a solid build pretty much fill the role of 3 rd tier blast.

You could also take the fortunata pet, I haven't pulled her out in forever, but I don't see someone completely sapped of end getting away very quickly; not faster than she could move with speedboost on her even with retarded ai. Over the corr damage should be considerably higher than the defender version.

I have VERY limited experience PvP with an Kin/Elec def. I have yet to find come up with a build suitible for it since im a casual PvPer on Justice, so I have limited success against the more dedicated players and those that are Def based. I will say though, when it works, it works hella good. If anyone has ideas for builds i would love to take a look. Right now I'm PvPing with my Emp... but what defs aren't?
