So i want a toon with sort of wind blasts, but i dont want to go with storm, so i was thinking maybe kin meele could look like wind?

Any thoughts?

With the right coloring and role play, anything can look like anything

I think it would work. A little knockdown, a little stun, a little range: sounds like wind blasts.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

How about sonic?

Just give it a light blue tint and you'll be fine. While it's early, I think I might like KM on stalkers the most, but scrappers would be like 1B. /sr I think fits the concept best for secondary.

Colored the right way, it's a VERY air-benderish power set... I went that direction with Shade, my own KM stalker.

(And, for what it's worth, having a KM stalker and a scrap both at 50 and a KM tank at 31, I much prefer it as a stalker or tank set. My scrap, Solace, is a little disappointing.)

sonic probably... i know i've tinkered with the idea of making a "wind" mage using a sonic/psi blaster or sonic/sonic or sonic/storm corrupter.

No brute? Any thoughts on them?

And now I want to make a Kin/SR Air-powered character. Don't know why I wasn't tempted before, I guess I just didn't think about SR. Already have a martial artist kin/nin Stalker and a magic body-hopping soul dark/kin(kin colored like Psionic attacks) Tanker in the process of leveling up though. Don't know if I could do a third kin melee character, although the concept being entirely different for the three of them would help. Damn my altaholism.

I don't like the way the AT plays, so I didn't try out a Brute version.

CS doesn't crit for them so there is no instant recharge of PS, or BU. Brutes get less usage out of +dmg versus scrappers and stalkers.

I have a lvl 50 KM/EA Brute. I tried both KM/EA on Brute and Stalker at the beginning, and settled on the Brute as being the all around better of the two by 16. KM works decently well on a brute, but...I probably wouldn't play another one to 50.

As to your original question, yes you can easily "concept" KM as wind powers.
