if u got a pocket kin then go ninja all the way since you dont want to play robots or thugs. I say this because bots/thugs are considered great b/c they do what they do best, that is aoe dmg. ninjas dont have much aoe however they do what they are supposed to, very nice st dmg. This is why i dont like the new demons set that much, the demons just dabble a bit in everything no criticals like the ninjas or burn patches like the bots/thugs. IMO Ninjas "aoe" dmg is fast dispatching of mobs one at a time. For a secondary if you havent tried dark id pair that up with the ninjas or wait for time manipulation. thermal is kinda meh on the squishest mastermind primary and even double thermal shields will not cap your ninjas so your still prob going to have to micro them ALOT and heal them ALOT. forcefield would be good but i woulndt roll 2 forcefielders as thats overkill on the def right there.
I think 2 mm's is more fun.
Anything melee gets more benefits from kinetics. I would suggest Demons. They have a variety of damage, and they benefit from the +recovery.
Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Ninja Storm ?
You could probably get Lighting Storm up to maybe 3 or at least 2 solid storms up for a really good amount of time.
I might over thinking this but would SB do anything to LS or Fulcrum Shift ? It is a pet isn't it ? Or its just not kind of pet ?
If you kept the Kin near the ninja storm all it would need is a decent number for Range defense and then mid way numbers for the rest as the -Tohit debuff from Hurricane would bolster the rest. So nutshell your Kin would be capped and have a bit more freedom to do his work with less issues. Plus Hurricane would help out the Ninja pets as well along with the other debuffs.
I'm thinking maybe radiation kin

For primaries, Thugs or Demons would be the best options, anything that will benefit the most from the damage and recovery bonuses. Pet powers are unaffected by recharge enhancement or buffs. A good secondary would probably be Traps, Dark or perhaps even Thermal. Traps and Dark are notorious endurance pigs and also as a general rule of thumb, the quicker you can get your powers up, the more effective the set becomes.
Any primary where the pets are predominately in melee. Ninjas, demons etc.
I know you didnt ask for a mm secondary, but I will agree with storm. Storm is way more end intrusive than traps or dark in my experience and can also use all the recharge it can get to keep freezing rain, tornado and lightning storm out constantly.
I was planning to try out 2 masterminds, but having a /kin corruptor as a buffer is too tempting. I was thinking possibly ninja/forcefield or a necro/therm even. (I was first thinking about two ninja/therm mm's and stacking the shields)
Im trying to stay away from robotics and thugs having played both years ago (but may consider if they are still the best options to go with a /kin). Need opinions!
