Hello all, I'd appreciate some feedback on my fire/kin build. Is there anything that I should obviously be doing differently? I know it's not the cheapest build, but the purples and PVP IOs I have are not extremely expensive. I'm guessing about 1.5 - 2.5 billion including the LotG recharges and the Kinetic Combat sets.

I don’t see anything really wrong with it, other than the fact that I’ve never been much of a PvP IO fan outside of PvP, they cost too much for what you get unless you PvP.

Just a few questions/thoughts.

In Fire Cages why did you go with a full set of Gravitational Anchors rather than say a set of Ragnarok? With the kind of damage we’re pulling down with Fulcrum Shift nothing last long enough to break our immobilizations anyway so more damage right of the bat seems good. I’m slotted 5 Ragnaroks + the chance to hold Gravitational Anchor.

For Flash Fire I would slot the Absolute Amazement set rather than Stupefy and for Hot feet I would slot a full set of Multi Strikes, you’ll get better end reduction, better damage and better accuracy and I think better set bonuses.

Here’s my live build right now:
