This is pretty close to what I did with my firekin, don't have the ninja pack though. Anyway superspeed is halfway to full stealth so it's still useful.

I find the fighting pool very helpful in adding to survivability. So, while I wouldn't slot or use Boxing, taking Boxing-> Tough-> Weave could be another way to go.

If you're farming, fighting pool is great. If you're not, it's meh. The worst thing about being a /kin is missing and having tactics (leadership) on a build is valuable to yourself and for the rest of the team.
Fighting pool is taken on a lot of fire/kin builds so they can cap smashing/lethal defense. At the cap, it's worth it. Somewhere below the cap, I'd rather have tactics and be able to hit my heal when I need it.
I have dual builds.
The first build is a fire/kin/fire with fitness/leaping/speed/leadership. This is the build I take on TFs and when I team. It has the important buffs (speed boost, increase density). This is also the build I'd recommend when you're leveling up since it has higher accuracy.
The second build is a farming fire/kin/stone with fitness/leaping (only CJ)/speed (only hasten)/fighting. This build is purpled up the wazoo largely because the build benefits from not only the +rech the purple sets provide but also (as important IMO), the recovery and global accuracy. The build doesn't have speed boost and I'd never take this build out of a farm. The first build is more effective on TFs and far cheaper to boot.
As for pool power recommendations, assuming you're team oriented and not farming:
Speed - for hasten. Hasten is a no brainer for kins because it stacks with siphon speed allowing you to bring up buffs and AoE controls far faster.
Leadership - Manuevers (only slightly worse than Weave in defense and a great place for a LoTG/Recharge) and Tactics (allowing you to hit stuff!)
Leaping - for CJ. Being immobilized is awful, awful for a kin. CJ provides protection against that and stacks with hurdle and to a lesser degree, swift to provide great combat manueverability.
Thanks. Good advice.
Lots to think about. It's such a tight build that I have plenty of time before there's any wiggle room. Also, I forgot increase density, which I need for my imps even if not teaming. I plan to team mostly.
My thoughts about wanting to keep Ninja Run as my only travel power are going to fall by the wayside. CJ is better than it for defenses. SS is better than it for speed and can get +stealthed [or more than likely pick up stealth from the pool then respec when I'm sure this toon is worthy of the Celerity cash.] Heck, I was even picking up swift to make NR faster. That's a power pick...that could have picked SS.
Thanks again.
All core powers taken. Swift and Hurdle, as well as Sypon Speed and Inertial Reduction, should help with Ninja Run, which I'll also supplement with a Raptor Pack from FBZ.
I'm not sure if I want to grab the melee of Boxing or Air Sup. I have two pools open as of this build posting.
Any suggestions on power picks, or possible rearrangement of what I have. Or is it just preference after the core is taken. Thanks in advance.
