the difference lies in not the kin part but in the pets..3 imps can kill faster then one chompy can.
hotfeets damage helps but i suppose carrion creepers wont be up every mob so again the advantage goes to a fire/kin.
other then that the same rule applys aoe immob,fs and fireball..at least thats the way i look at it
Let's break it down to easy concepts.
1) Plant/kin technically has more pets, and can do more damage than a fire/kin.
2) Plant/kin can be cheaper on the wallet, and easier to get the IOs needed.
3) Fire/kin is easier to use since you can pretty much use it out of the box sort of speak. I've seen many people just use SOs on their F/k.
4) Fire/kin require very little planning to use, as long as you got ff, fs, and aoe attack, and a little resist and/or def and your set.
5) There are more builds out there for f/k then plant/kin. (that maybe due to not many posting there build.)
In the end I think neither one is any better than the other it's just more on how you feel about each one and if you like one or the other better. On the other hand, I would pick neither one, I'm more for the combos that people think don't stand a chance against f/k. But if I had to choose, I would pick f/k for the solo fact of out of the box ready.
I'm not sure people realize how much damage Hot Feet actually does to mobs, especially when you're capped to damage from FulcrumShift and then there's that containment bonus...plus the 20' range.
I ran herostats when I was farming Warriors a few weeks back and HotFeet actually out-damaged FireBall over the time of the farm. Cumulatively, it's unbelievably strong over the course of a run.
My vote: Fire/Kin all the way. They're popular for a reason!
My plant/kin was able to farm pretty easily with all SO's. I can farm +2/x8 as long as I can have Carrion Creepers up every mob; which I'm still working on perma-ing that.
But yea, she's all SO'd, with three purple sets.

Victory.
I'm usually always on, so just look for me.
My Plant/Kin can handle 1x8 with perma-Creepers, but I don't think it's as fast as a similarly IO-ed Fire/Kin. Imps and Hotfeet are much more efficient (and require less maintenance) than Chompy and the vines.
I tried farming on my Plant/Kin (King Cannabis) a while back. For whatever reason, I could never get him to go as fast as I could when farming on my Fire/Kin.
It just seemed weird to me... :/

I just wanna see what other people think is better; Plant or Fire/Kin?
I have my own 50 Plant/Kin and think when she's slotted correctly,
could be just as fast and efficient as a Fire/Kin, but that's just MY
opinion.
So what do you people think?
