Fire/?

[Obsidian Blue]

Just looking for advice on a secondary. I work up a fire/kin to lvl 30 with friends, but I'm just not feeling Kinetic Melee anymore. Looking at secondaries I was thinking maybe one of the following, but admittedly I'd like to get some input from more experienced players.

 

Super Strength

Street Justice

Stone Melee 

Fire Melee 

Radiation Melee

or any secondary you might suggest.

I'm by no means an expert, but I've been getting great enjoyment out of a recently-rolled Fire/Rad tanker. Sitting late 30s, and /Rad seems to be capable enough at single-target, and of course Burn + splash damage is great for AOE. I am finding it quite slot-hungry tho.

I have a friend who has a rad/rad tanker that really enjoys playing.

I've got a Fire/Savage I've been enjoying lately.

Fire/Claws has been so good to me that I've turned it into my main and haven't even re-rolled since.

 

It boasts of very early exemplaring (exemplared to level 15 still gives Follow-Up, Burn and Spin which makes the character a mowing machine).

Follow-up plays really well with a constant damage and accuracy boost.

The animations are fast which allows to be on our toes.

Focus takes a Force Feedback proc very very well to accelerate cooldowns.

Shockwave allows for constant soft CC with the knockdown IO.

I decided to try fire/rad. I don't see me liking Claws on a tank and I've got a Savage/Reg Brute that I love. So don't see my going that way either, but I do really appreciate the advice.

If you're interested in a build, feel free to use my planned progression as a starting point. Guaranteed it's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it sure feels solid. Full disclosure tho, it's an end hog. Cardiac Alpha should (fingers crossed) resolve that.
