Kin isn't that great anymore. In fact it kind of sucks in PvP. As far as skipping the leap pool on a squishie, not really a option with the new hold rules. Without acro you'll have no hold resist at all and It would be hard, if not impossible to get the desired 41 points of kb protection. You'd be better off rolling something like a earth/therm or earth/ta.

Is TA decent in duels at all? I am sure it can be a decent disruption toon but can a TA troller survive high damage onslaughts enough to make the TA movement debuffs effective in a duel setting?
TA is only really good for disruption on teams. By itself, a TA shouldn't be able to kill any competent player.
If you want something with the ability to kill, try /therm or /cold.
i've seen an earth/ta be pretty nasty in duels. not against top tier builds but against some mid level stuff.
this was when pvp was fun though so who knows now.
lol robo. Well, I'm just talking from personal experience. Ime, all a TA can do is spam autohit glue and run to drones or fly to the top of the zone...until glue is recharged. Don't think I've died to a TA a single time since it was put in the game.
Why Thermal or Cold as the secondary? I'm only asking because I'm not quite sure how they would be effective since I stopped playing in the winter of 08 when controllers didn't have these powers. Also I've never really played a controller before so all the info I can get would be extremely helpful.
therm for melt armor and heat exhaust...cold for amazing slows/ -recharge and the ability to stop regen...oh and they both have damage debuffs that will keep u alive when fighting high dmging opponents
I was wondering how well Earth/Kin Controller would do in any kind of PvP, zone or arena. I chose kin because I like how the debuff/buff skills work and would probably save me from having to go through 2 travel power pools with that jump skill. I'm not exactly sure which power pools other than fitness and super speed would work best. Any help would be much appreciated.
