Calling all Beast/Kinetics Experts...

[skippy7721]

Hey all,

 

I've found myself at a bit of a crossroads recently where I am unsure of what direction makes the most sense so any advice you may have would be much appreciated. I have a LVL 50 Beast/Kin MM but I am unsure of whether I should be switching my build to something less Tankermind and more Sit Back and watch the Beasts reign havoc sort of build. 

 

My goal in my Beast/Kinetics build is to be able to send my beasts in while buffing the crap out of them as they go to town however due to a lack of CC on my first build I am not sure if I need to rethink the build or stick with the original idea but tweak it in other ways. 

 

Build 1 has the following stats

 

 

This build is using your classic Scorpion Shield setup along with a not very enhanced Web Envelope but has Provoke for Tankerminding.

 

Build 2...switches this up and has the following Stats.

 

 

While Statwise it seems like a bit of a step down this build gives me Bonfire for what I feel will be a much needed CC.

 

So my question is, does it make sense to pursue Heat Mastery over Mace Mastery if I wanted more CC to achieve more efficient DPS as the dogs run wild? Is there something I am not considering, any veterans opinions here would be most appreciated as I have noticed at the end of the day...I feel a bit more squishy and chaotic at times than I would like.

Just an update here...may help with the chaos I have been experiencing. 

 

Removed Provoke to keep it a more ranged strategy with the intention of keeping the pets in aggressive mode. Enhanced up Web Envelope for longer immobilize duration, added Power Boost as I had not considered the synergy with it and Fortify Pack. Added to the heal as I think with the new strategy, healing needs to be more prioritized. All these changes added a bit to my ranged defense getting it to 40% which is pretty good I think. 

 

 

I think the rotation will end up being, assign pet damage, fulcrum shift, transfusion, transference, call ravens....repeat.

 

Hopefully this works!

NECRO and not because I favor the zombies.

 

How is this build going? Was thinking of rolling one and wanted to know how you were faring.

These are some sweet builds! I'm going to try out the Bonfire build, just because I get really bored if I don't have more to do than just the two Bird attacks.
