Just starting to look at your build now...but you have IO's slotted are you VIP? if so are you going to at least get your alpha to T3? Isn't really much of a time commitment to get there...and will help the farming.
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Given the limited budget, its not the worst build. But, while smoke is a great power in the field and in PVP, I don't see much use for it for a farming build. I can't say that I've ever used Earth's Embrace either. The big AOE heal Kinetics have is usually more than enough to do the trick. Really it depends on what your going to be farming, when I do it, I usually try to find a fire heavy map and use that (I went Fire/Kin/Fire for concept). 35% defense on S/L is within one purple of softcap so as long as you stick with enemies that do S&L you should be fine.
Aside from smoke and to a much lesser extent Earth's embrace, it's a good build to get you off your feet farming wise. Though I'd revisit it after you've accumulated some reserves and go with sets vs. IOs.
Good Luck and welcome back!

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up changing the build round a bit to get KB protection and increase def. This was only really a build to help me get back on my feet so im not bothering to make any special effort slotting it as i will be moving on to a diff build to farm with.
I have recentley come back to CoH after a break for a few years. I want to get my old fire/kin farmer up and running again but im not sure on what build to use. Another problem i have is the lack of inf. I only have around 100mil to play around with. I have had a go at creating a cheap build and i would appreciate any comments or help to improve the build. Could anyone also suggest the best missions to farm with fire/kins nowadays?
