Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

Looks pretty solid, but there's a few things I'd change up.

I'd first and foremost try and build for softcapped smashing/lethal defense. Right now you've got low defenses from Weave and Maneuvers and nothing to stack them with. Tough isn't stacking with Dark Embrace for s/l res because you didn't take it.

Since the only power you're slotting up from Soul Mastery is Soul Drain, I'd urge you to reconsider your patron. Fulcrum Shift is going to give you much, much better damage buffing than Soul Drain will. Powerboost is largely a waste with Kinetics. It'll bump Transfusion up to a 50% heal but only for 15s at a time and healing isn't your main focus as a kin. It will only bring your defense numbers up from 15% to 20%, not enough to be worth it, especially for the low uptime.

I'd go with the Scorpion pool and softcap your smashing/lethal defense. You're going to be in melee range a lot for HoB and Fulcrum Shift, softcapped s/l defense will increase your survivability exponentially. If you're taking Weave, Maneuvers and Scorpion Shield you don't need much in the way of bonuses to get to the softcap. I know slotting melee attacks is lol, but 4 slotting Brawl and/or Boxing would get you big chunks of defense.

Hope that helps

What the above poster said makes a lot of sense. Unless you strictly plan to team with a tank or scrappers, you are going to faceplant a lot. You don't have enough defense and your AOE's will draw aggro like a magnet. I play Kin/Rad, Rad/Kin which has the same issues.

So if you are teaming a lot and have friends/SG mates that you can reliably hook up with, the build is pretty good. You'll still faceplant to AOEs a lot, but you'll have fun in the process.

Now, with that being said, softcap S/L defense and you'll have a lot more fun. It stinks that most other secondaries can take other Patron/Epic pools, but that is the price you pay for riding the damage cap all the time.

One other option is to take Psionics and get the AOE sleep. That can help you solo larger groups as you can sleep them, run in, FS, nuke/AOE/whatever and hopefully clear out a lot of incomming damage before they smash you. It's doable, but tough. I'd aim for the softcap personally.

Mainly what the previous two posters said, and I have a build that might help you out a bit too. Just finished IOing/playing my DP/Kin to 50. Good damage, good survivability when you have your SL Def softcapped. Try not to get yourself killed during HoB is all I can say. :P

This is the build I have live atm, plan to put Apocs and Ragnaroks (In Pistols and Bullet Rain respectively) when the price comes down a bit. I only lose 7.5% Rech and 80% Rech isn't too bad anyway!

Hope this helps/gives you some ideas.

I hope you do well with it. My final Dual Pistols toon wound up being DP/Dark. I found the safety/setup then blast to your hearts content with the odd heal was the only way my feeble skills could manage not dying during the animation times involved with DP. I do adore my Kin/Sonic defender though. Being able to sleep those foes before debuffin' em/buffin' self and friends is priceless.

Have fun!
