it would help to know whatbpowerset combination your corr has
any /sonic corr has hold stun and immob protection
kb IOs are long known things
mupatron pool a good thing for res and endproblems
so it is nothing new for me
Helge corr lvl 50 rad/cold
Helge2 corr lvl 50 ice/rad
Techbothelge MM lvl 50 robo/dark
Helge Mauz def lvl 50 emp/ele
illuhelge troller lvl 50 illu/rad
Wiederbelebter helge nk lvl 50 bs/reg
Maennerschreack nightwidow lvl 44
Quantenjaeger ws lvl 3
Ahh sorry was late, Fire/Kin/Elec
Then only issues I have is with Stun/Disorient and sleep, no idea how to add more resists or even protection for it with a corrupter as a Fire/Kin Other then with the small bonuses from sets. Just wondering if I am overlooking any powers or even sets that give a good bonus.
To deal with mezzes as a Corruptor, your choices are to mez them first (which Fire doesn't help with, but every other set has at least one mez), take a set with mez protection (/Sonic or /Traps), shorten the duration on the ones that hit with mez resistance (/Rad), distract them with something else to shoot at (/Traps, /Dark, patron pets, teammates) or prevent the mez from ever hitting (any -tohit for them or +defense for you). You mentioned some mez resistance you can pick up in the power pools (Aid Self for stun, Health for sleep), but resistance still means you're out of the fight until it wears off.
Your best bet to deal with sleeps and stuns is to just not get hit by them - aim for that softcap.

That's why I don't make squishies without some way of dealing with mez. Unfortunately Fire/Kin provides among the fewest options for doing so. It's something I think about every time I pick powersets when I consider rolling a new toon.
Mez resistance available from set bonuses is sadly weak. I wouldn't make any build sacrifices to fit it in, but if there's room for it, why not. If you're building for +recharge and can get Siphon Speed stacked on a mezzer, you might be able to outlast it with healing and applied damage in between mezzes. I wouldn't count on it though.
It seems like you've done pretty much all you can with the powersets you chose. I'd build for defense and try to always keep some break frees on hand.

Best option would be to accept that you have holes in your build that may not be possible to cover and use inspirations to cover those holes (Break Frees, in this case). There is no shame in using inspirations - that's what they're there for.

Yea this is what I am thinking just wanted to make sure there was nothing I was missing or didnt know about that I could fit in the fire/kin build. I love Kin(and so does my wife and friends) so no /sonic traps and such for me though I thought of that as well. |

Guess I got 3 Strats..
1. Kill them Before they Mez me(works most of the time but Multi Rikti Mez'ers suck)
2. Soft Cap Ranged D
3. Break Free if it all fails
Thanks for the Advice.

my experience with the game is that it is intended that every skillset/build has weakness holes, that should be compensated through other means, inspiration or support of teammates.
example traps gives probably the best possible defense, but weakest healing, which force the player to use respites. kinetics force to use "break free"s, same for dark, rad forces to use "catch a breath" and so on.

That's somewhat true, though really not all secondaries are created equal. Some are solo-capable, others are VERY team dependent. Kinetics absolutely falls in the latter category. You've got some incredibly strong team buffs, but not much in the way of defenses. Your best bet solo is to just keep stacking the siphon power/fulcrum shift stacked up as much as possible and drop mezzers as quick as you can manage, and keep a stack of break frees handy to cope when you can't drop them too fast.

So I have been racking my brain on how to make my Corrupter a bit less squisy.
Soft Cap Defense...Not done yet but possible...<Check>
55% S/L Resistance(with 30% Energy to boot)...<Check>
KB Protection...<Check>
Immbo Protection...<Check>
Hold Protection...2 Pnts its ok would like more
Stun Protection....errm no...also have no idea how to raise this on a corrupter.
Sleep Protection...another no and no idea how to increase
Now If ya didnt follow I am asking for ways to increase Stun/Sleep protection(would be best) or resists. Other then the Self-Heal in the Med line and some minor % for resist that I know of I dont know how to fix my Mez issue other then with Breakfrees.
