ahh, so P-wiki IS missing that. All it lists for that move is ranged. Looks like I'm respec-ing a.s.a.p, can't pass that up.
I have a DP/Kin at level 21 right now and love playing her. I run a duo team with a friend playing a DP/Traps and we have been coasting through missions. I love the options Changing Ammo allows and can't wait to hit higer levels.. I have a Blaster at 39 and as you get higher the power set gets even more fun.

will that give you the -KB or the target?
On the issue of Procs, I also threw in the Lady Grey Chance for negative damage proc into pistols. With the acc bonus, quick recharge, and low end on Pistols, I figured that I could blow 2 slots on mule-ing procs

I rarely ID an entire team, it's overkill. Just focus it on fragile tanks and characters who are struggling with Mez effects. You'll burn yourself out and grow to hate it if you try to keep it up on an entire team like SB.
In my experience the players who don't take IB are the ones who don't do a good job of keeping SB up or really doing anything outside of blasting with FS. It's a red flag.

*sarcasm off*
-res proc also fists in empty clips... pistols is not the only attack for it. Any DP/Kin can skip pistols and not have trouble with that decision in the future. It has the potential to be quite a proc hog, but not all that nessesary if you don't absolutely care to have it. On slot tight builds or power tight, I'd put it up on the block in a heartbeat... mostlikely in a respec....
Cryo rounds also work great with Kins... Siphon speed constantly applied to a target, with slow effects.... floor a bosses recharge and laugh.
As for chem rounds, FS, blah blah... neutering an AVs damage solo....
Anyone saying that has no clue what they are talking about... you think AVs don't resist such affects at a high rate?
As far as repel goes... I've been playing without it... and here is why... There is sooo much bouncing around as it is to line up Empty Clips, your a) generally not getting hit or b) don't need mobs screwing up what you already have planned out by being tossed by Repel sideways out of the cone... Repel and the heal? Not a good combo... Repel and Transference, FS??? Yeah, lets scatter the group I need to hit for optimal coverage...
But you say, "Turn it on and off when in combat when its needed and not needed!"
Yep, because there is more animation time that I need to include in an already stance heavy blasting set. Getting stuck in animations is easy enough to do already without Repel adding to it... I don't have it and honestly I don't miss it. It's gimmic crutch that people who don't know how to avoid mobs use, I don't need it and it's counterproductive to other things I should be doing...
Suppressive fire... if you leave this out of a build, your absolutely crazy. Let me help some of you out... 4 basalisk gaze set... damage type chance to hold proc, hold type chance to hold proc. occasional mag 6-7 hold? Yep, that would be a peice of crap tool to have in your hands....
But you say "chance for procs doesn't make that really a good plan"...
Awe, and relying on normal ammo for a KB affect isnt a good plan either, but occasionally it happens and when it does I bet youre happy it did... same logic here. Even 1 proc off IOs will hold a boss.... 2 procs means it happens twice as much with the occasional overlap.
It's a great set... it's also new, and as it goes on, you will see an evolution of posts that speak of how to play the set for newbs as well as builds and live server players...
It may take some time to adjust to, but the reality is... some of Kins powers were useless prior to the release... it sure doesn't make them useful now *cough Repel*
And I say this as a player who had a lvl 50 Kin first (see signature)out of all of them.
