I tend to make expensive builds, but I wanted to break some of my building habits and try to do a cheap-but-high-performance Kin build, because the world needs more kins.

You can stack up to three Siphon Speeds permanently, with this build but even without any stacks, it maintains permahasten.

With the SLE SC, you can very comfortably jump into the middle of the fray, cap off everyones damage, health, and endurance before laying out very good AoE damage (especially with your rains leveraging scourge to maximum effect), and very strong ST damage.

I didnt take Bitter Freeze Ray mostly because of the cast time causing it to not feel rewarding to use.

Repel is replaceable, I took it mostly to annoy my friends. If you don't want Repel, slot in whatever you'd like, I'd probably go with Vengeance though.

If there any questions or comments, just ask and ill do my best to respond to them helpfully.

Ok, so looking at your build I'm a bit confused. You say you were going for an inexpensive build, but you are using +5 LotGs. There are several improvements you could make to this build to get more recharge and have other little perks. One thing you could do is take the gaussian slots out of aim and put two in tactics (two +tohit) and two in repel (add one force feedback recharge proc and one sudden acceleration kb to kd), this will make repel quite useful and will give more recharge overall than a single LotG +7.5%. You can also split up the scourging blast ATO set to get a full +20% recharge, you could split this in freezing ray and Ice storm for instance and get more overall recharge.

Hi! Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the constructive feedback! As for why I called this a cheap build, I feel like it is pretty cheap for a permhasten build with SC to SLE. I'm sure with alphas considered, I could rework it to get rid of the +5s, though I didn't have the impression that they were exorbidant in the first place 😅 

 

In regards to the rest of your reply, I definitely thjnk your proposed slotting for repel would make it much better as a power. I took it primarily to annoy my friends, hence the slotting choice I made. I think if I were to make it usuable in this build, id try removing the gaussians triple in order to two slot repel as you described, sans the endredux. Maybe pull a slot from elsewhere if I find I need that end reduction.

 

As for why I slotted Aim so heavily, doing so reduces the recharge by about 8 seconds vs just the two slot, which is just under a 25% reduction, and I like having aim up as often as possible. This is very potentially a moot point if you're using repel with your proposed slotting though. As well with fulcrum, there's an argument for lower recharge on Aim being less valuable on a kin vs a different corruptor.

 

The biggest issue with the proposed slotting changes, is that they would drop the energy def below SC by removing the t5 Malice bonus and one of the t6 Thunderstrike bonuses. Ill have to do some tinkering around with alphas to see if I can recover that defense without adding too much expense to the build, though. Thanks! 🤗
