Also note that depending on when you start doing the trials you will be either 50, or 50(+1) going against level 54s. As you get the level shifts, hitting things will be much easier. Hitting a +4 is one thing. Hitting a +1 is just normal content.
I hate FA. The endurance cost is too high for the benefit. If you do take it, then you'll probably want to drop the leadership pool if you have it and pick up cardiac in alpha. Why all this endurance concern for a kin you might ask? Well you don't want to spend half your time hitting transference.
On my /kin, I have two separate builds. One smash/lethal cap, the other ranged. The cool thing about the ranged guy is I'm on orange short of capped res as well. This guy is sturdy. I have a heal when I need it, and with so much res, there is a little leeway when I miss. I run the accuracy alpha on this guy MOST of time. I am experimenting with the others.
And another thing. A DP/kin has about a billion different ways to go as far as mixing different effects from DP and the incarnate abilities.

So I've almost got my DP/Kin to 50. Not quite, but getting there. I have a few questions about possible build scenarios, however.
First off, I haven't run any Incarnates yet, so I really don't know what's contained therein, but this will be the first toon I plan to go with.
So it's no secret that /Kin needs good accuracy to succeed. I see some posts saying that they put +Acc as a priority when IOing the toon, along with +Rech. I'm wondering if, as I build out my IO sets, I can put +Acc on the backburner, as it were, since I plan on taking Focused Accuracy from Mace. Although I have room in my current build for Tactics, if FA will do the job, that's one less toggle to keep running and I'll skip it. Also, if FA does the job, then I'll focus my IOs primarily on +Rech.
These questions bring up something else I've been searching for, but can't seem to find a proper guide to help me. What kind of Acc should I be aiming for (other than "as much as possible," lol)? I mean, sure, I know I need 45% S/L for decent mitigation, but say that I do want to run Incarnates... is there a particular Acc I should aim for FIRST before prioritizing to other stats? I'd just hate to go into an Incarnate and see all of my /Kin powers suddenly "missing" because my common IO Acc's just won't cut it, heh.
Thanks in advance!
