Try building something and posting. You can search the forums for some other Mind builds as a starting point. Possibly take a look at my Mind/Cold build a few pages down.
Did you check the guides section? I wrote a guide which is still fairly relevant, even though it's a few years old:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=122388
Now if you want someone to do the work FOR you, that's no fun, but here's the tl;dr version: Take all the Mind powers except maybe TK. Slot your powers as ATTACKS (ie, for damage, not mez duration). Make use of "Chance to hold" procs. Make sure you open with either Total Dom or Mass Confusion while targeting bosses so that you can immediately apply a single-target mez and stack the effect. If worst comes to worse, Mass Hypnosis then Terrify.
In Kin, make sure you take SB, *ID* (lots of Kins skip this one; don't if you're gonna be on teams), and Fulcrum Shift. Transference is good too, but I find myself hardly using it in a group setting, because if someone is that low on End, the chances of them actually being near an enemy that's alive for more than 3 seconds is very nill. Siphon Power is optional. Repel isn't too useful, neither is Inertial Reduction - though based on previews and open beta chatter, the i19 TFs may change that.
Pool powers: I suggest Hover (for positioning) and Hasten.
For IOs, get accuracy and recharge bonuses. That way you have your AoEs up every spawn and your kin powers don't miss. Don't worry about defense bonuses, but focus on HP and Regen bonuses so that if you DO get hit, it's not a big deal.
Finally, I'll relent and post my I19 build. Note that Fitness is inherent so you won't be able to copy this build right away:

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
Steele very nice build. But I do have some questions for you. Why did you take grant invis and not just put the log in stealth instead? With Stanima why did you slot perfomance shifters and not eff. adaptors for the regen bonus?

After you approach diminishing returns slotting Stamina for end mod, the proc from Performance shifter will give you more endurance over time making it extremely useful in Stamina. That alone puts Performance Shifter over Efficiency Adaptor for use in Stamina. |

Secondly, there is the loss of enhancement potential by pursuing bonuses while sacrificing relevant enhancement. Using the Acc/End Mod rather than a generic End Mod means about 3% less recovery in exchange for about 20 more hit points. For /kin, that's a trade off I would consider, but typically I prefer the additional recovery. The minute amount of regeneration from Efficiency Adaptor is even less appealing on an AT with a smaller hp pool.
That's a very nice build. One thing I'd recommend at least considering is swapping the Psi APP for the Primal one. You'll lose mezz protection but gain a second damage type (Smash/Energy instead of being mostly Psi) and Power Boost. I love love love Power Boost on a Mind Controller, especially one with massive Recharge like this build has. Say hello to enemies confused for over a minute at a time, and held in place by Total Domination for 50 seconds or longer. You really have to try it to believe the change it can make for Mind Control.
Well, i took grant invis just in case i wanted to give my teammates some extra protection. A purely solo build i would have grabbed stealth isntead. However, i find that the stealth proc in sprint and mass hypnossis cover the majority of my stealthing needs. No need to take an end-hog power that slows me to a crawl.
Also, as far as the bonuses are concerned, i find recovery just as important as regen and wanted to balance the two stats out a bit. Especially with the amount of recharge i have, recovery is very important for maintaining my toggles and an attack chain. I shoud have noted that in my post, sorry about that!
oh, and Tex: Primal is something i'll consider for my soft-capped build =) It's close but not quite perfect yet, i'll make a post in a few days to get peoples opinion if i run into any snags...

But even on a team the defense bonus plus the recharge you would get from the LoG7.5 I would think would outweigh giving stealth to others.

The defense from stealth is pathetic (especially once you attack). It's very end-hoggy. And it slows you down. Besides, I'm getting Invisibility for my own needs. I guess in the end, stealth vs grant invis is a moot point as i'd hardly use either power anyway. However, i can think of a few situations where my teammates would want their defenses shored up, which outnumbers the instances in which i'd run stealth over invisibility.|

Besides, i still get the 7.5% recharge bonus from the LotG i put in Grant invis. The recharge bonus doesn't go to the target (though it'd be awesome if it did!)

I have been looking around for a decent build for a task forces for mind control kin. But can't even seem to find any builds for this combo at all. Anyone have any help or suggestions.
Thanks
