ashenlost Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Hi All, Has anyone played both of these? Does the defenders greater buffs and procs make out for lower damage cap?
Darkir Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Water/Kin, your buffs are so strong you will cap everyone, but brutes. The proc opportunities for water are decent, but not stellar and either def or corr can take advantage of them while maintaining defenses. I will say that the corruptor will be a tighter build though, but you do get much more dmg out of it due to the higher dmg scale and cap.
Gulbasaur Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I'll vote corruptor as well; kinetics' key powers are all so powerful that the difference is less noticeable. Generally, I think that debuff sets are best on defenders while buff sets are best on corruptors with those that do both being more of a toss-up. Debuffs tend to be stronger than buffs numerically, do defenders get extra mileage out of them so they act as much better force multipliers. There are also oddities like Storm that are just better all round on defenders as it doesn't work consistently with Containment or Scourge. Obviously a good-at-buffing defender is better than a bad-at-buffing corruptor, but it's a rule of thumb that I follow. As kinetics is primarily a buff set (it does some -dmg too), it'll do well enough on a corruptor.

Linea Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 In general you'd want a /Kin to take advantage of the higher damage cap. However, depending on build, I can see exceptions to that rule. AE 801 (link) is a variety of missions for fun and challenge, and is designed for a team of 5+ Incarnates. Just search '801' in AE. 801 Difficulty Varies: 801.0 Easy, ..., 801.2 Standard*, ..., 801.5 Moderate**, ..., 801.6 Hard***, ..., 801.7 Four Star****, ... 801.F Death.

ashenlost Posted February 13, 2020 Author Posted February 13, 2020 I have a lvl 50 kin/water but I was trying to work out a build that had reasonable defense + procs but I wasnt satisfied. I was thinking that a water/kin would be easier to build

I was thinking that a water/kin would be easier to build A defender is actually easier to build due to the higher higher defense modifiers, but a corruptor will be better overall.
ashenlost Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 Would anyone have a build for either of these lying around? Just something I can start from? I did have a look on the forum but couldn't see anything.

I did have a look on the forum but couldn't see anything. I'm at a wedding right now, but I'm sure I have a water/kin build at home and I'll post it when I'm back. You could check my Kintank thread for inspiration until then. That is fire/kin though.
ashenlost Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 I will check out your fire/kin build in the meantime

DirtyBoxerz Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 @Darkir do you have a defender version kin/water? or is it basically just the class IOs are different
MoonSheep Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 a consideration for kin as a defender is that you’ll get SB and FS much earlier on which may be important if you enjoy low level TFs/trials If you're not dying you're not living

Kin and Cold are some of the few sets that are much better on a corruptor (perhaps the only sets)
