Kin/Rad or Kin/Dark for an "Oil" themed character?
From a playstyle perspective, radiation blast will be more convenient. Kinetics' fulcrum shift works best if you're in the middle of enemies, while cone attacks work best if you're at a distance from the enemies. Dark blast's area attacks are entirely cones (not counting blackstar).
Kin/Dark isn't gimped or anything like that. I'm just speaking about convenience and ease of play.
Kin/rad wins in terms of pure synergy. Kin/dark wins for the oil theme. I would just see about coloring /rad to be oil like enough to make it work.
Some of the /dark powers ahve skulls as part of the fx, so I would just recolor Rad.
Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.
Yeah, I don't find giant skulls and tentacles to have much to do with Oil. I'd say Energy Blast is probably the best choice. But of the two I'd go with Rad Blast.
Of your selections, I'd choose kin/rad. Laser beams from goggles, oh my. What about a re-colored rad as a primary? Dark would look "unnatural" to me (oil theme) as others have said... skulls and tentacles?
Trick Arrow - it has an oil slick, hello?! Light it on fire for good times.
I've been trying the Test server with the new Steam Pack costumes and I was just curious as to which would which would be better overall, thanks! :P
