good primary to pair with /kin?

[ThreeEyeBlack]

So I am in trying a bunch of different primaries with Kin (already done fire, rad, electric and seismic), but do not know the next one to try.  I am looking for interesting new combinations.  So what pairs well with /kin?

[Troo]

I like Energy/ and Ice/. I haven't played Fire (on a corruptor) but it would be excellent paired with Kinetics.

 

Fulcrum Shifted Blizzard is pretty epic.

Ice is really the next best option based on what you have done. I would deem Fire to be the best overall even if its best mitigation is things being dead.

I'm enjoying the heck out of my Ice/Kin (currently lvl 47).

Dual pistols. Love my DP/Kin/Dark corruptor with Forced Feedbacks in the two AoEs. 

 

Pew-pewpewpew.

Try Sonic!  Give your allies huge damage boosts, and then weaken the enemy's resistances with your own attacks!  Everybody loves doing more damage, and Sonic/Kin is just about the king of helping everyone do MOAR DAMAGE, even if its own damage isn't ultra-fantastic.

Fire and a proc DP build are my favs.  After that Rad, Ice, Psi, Water and Archery all work well too 

 

AR and Beam should be avoided 

[Sirius.Games]

I've been trying a few myself (fire and electric for damage reasons) I would throw water in the mix for it's lower cooldown and ground target ult. Archery I have thought about but my understanding is RoA spawns a pseudopet and doesn't scourge with the DOTs. I try get 3 of the same position aoe/cone.  That being said water and assault rifle would be my suggestions to try.

Water/Kinetics was a ton of fun to play up.

[FUBARczar]

Elec is another good one for pairing.

I went seismic/kin. Figure with the KD from the seismic shockwaves, I'd feel safer hanging out in melee, and had no kin. She's 18 just street sweeping but I plan to PL her to 32 and run her for a while with basic IOs and the standard uniques for a while. Will say of the three new stoners I built, she's the most fun so far.

Another vote for this!

 

Lots of extra proc options to optimize damage. You can even short slot ED a bit, as you have fulcrum to make up the difference.

Except this is better on a Defender.

Sorry for the necro but I was thinking about rolling this myself. How did you end up liking it?

I deleted it. Don't have any seismic blast users at the moment. Or any kinetics either.
