Super appreciate the in-depth response @Wimbochismo! I'll address some points that I had considered and/or am definitely incorporating: Some of the picks are definitely holdovers from Live, and I'm talking like back in the i6 - i9 era. I also used to spend a decent amount of time in PvP which obviously isn't much of a thing anymore (I play on Indom). Anyway, that's why looking at the build now you're probably thinking that it's just totally outdated. It is! I had been looking at Sorcery, I see that's a popular pool for non-melee ATs to pick up for Rune of Protection. However the fact that you have to go 3 powers deep for it turns me off, and then I do like remaining somewhat on-theme. If this were still my old Dark Blast build, I'd take it for sure. I definitely see the value of Hover/Fly or using Sorcery for your travel but Super Jump is just a personal preference. I'll take if even it it means I'm less optimal. Sometimes you gotta play what makes you happy, you know? Absolutely hunting some more defense and boosting Resistances. I'm swapping Assault for Maneuvers since yeah duh, and dropping Siphon Power entirely for Weave since even when I'm exemplared down I find myself hardly bothering to use it. Generally I'd be in an Ouro arc for a badge hunt, in which case I've got difficulty turned down to basically nothing so I can blitz the mission objective. That gives me some spots for those nice uniques like Shield Wall %5 Res, Reactive's Scaling Res, etc. I also moved my Fulcrum Shift choice to an earlier level so it's online sooner for more exemp ranges. Removed some of the redundant slots like accuracies and recharges that are already covered by global bonuses. I haven't fully decided on sets yet, but I've been looking at the Winter sets. There seems to be a good amount of positional defense there, right? Would you recommend other purples over them or do they also perform well in general content outside of fire farms?

Interesting! I'm definitely seeing some things that make sense. Do you ever roll this build out to normal content, and if so how does it perform there?

Hey folks! I ran a Dark/Kinetics on Live a loooong time, but when I first played on HC back in 2019 I rebuilt her as Elec/Kin. I used the same bog-standard levelling build that worked great on Live, but dropped off playing before I ever gave her a fresh level 50 respec. Anyway I'm back for good now but I feel a bit lost with all kinds of crazy set IOs, event IOs, catalysts, boosters, and what not available, and while the build is working FINE, I'd love to push it to the max so to speak even if it means spending some big cash. This character also doubles as my bank/market trader, so money is basically no object (within reason), so let's say if you have 400-500 million inf, what sort of polish would you put on this build? I'm having trouble getting Mids to export the text version, so I've got a screenshot here and attached the build file below. Note that the levels powers are taken at are total guesses, but as far as build advice goes I'm totally open to just shifting around powers picked at x level for TFs and Ouro arcs.

Since coming back after the licensing announcement I've been enjoying the nostalgia wave and am thrilled to have a great game to keep playing. Donated!

I was just searching for an answer to the same problem @BlakeTheDrake! Looks like we should just check back in on Tuesday. Thanks for putting the info out there. Sad thing is I only went into the arena to get the exploration badge.
