What are you trying to achieve with the build? It neither focuses on defense or recharge.

What is your budget for the build?

Some words of advice:

1. You may have more than one of the same set (just not more than 5 of one set bonus).

2. Avoid sets with Damage bonuses as you'll be at or near the cap with one group (team) cast of Fulcrum Shift. If you go with Devastations for the neat Hold proc, regen and hit point bonuses then stop at 3 of that set.

3. Many players tend to go with high recharge, high defense or a mix of both for Kinetics corruptors.

4. Consider, if you can afford them, Accuracy/Mez Hamidon Enhancements (Endoplasm) for Suppressive Fire. This enhancement will boost the stun and hold durations equally and save you slots.

5. What do you want your Dp/Kin toon to do better than it would with just Single Origin enhancements?


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

Thanks for your replies. I respec'd my guy last week using some of the builds I found in this forum as a basis. The thing I enjoy playing the most on City is the Task Force missions. I really just prefer team play over soloing.

With that mind I greatly increased my defense and endurance recovery while trimming down some of the repeated sets and a few the powers that I didn't use much while teaming.

I put the existing toon in mids as well as where I eventually want to get him. I will post both versions when I get home on my home computer.

Thanks again for your input!
