Can someone provide a Kin/Psy build?

[Nayland1971]

I looked through 20+ pages of this subforum and found only one other post with kin/psy, so I figured I would post something here. I had such a character on Virtue and thought I would recreate him but I don't remember a lot about the build and what kind of slotting would work best.

 

Below is an example of what I have now. I'm sure I don't need to 6-slot Increase Density with Aegis, or Transference with Power Transfer. And I only took Grant Invisibility because I didn't really know what else to pick. And so on. If someone could post a build of their own, it'd be appreciated!

I have to admit the slow animations of psy blast would drive me nuts on a kinetic

[Nayland1971]

Yeah, but being able to shoot beams out of your head is cool. It reminds of Dark City.

[Without_Pause]

Siphon Power is over slotted. It needs 2 acc at best. I can't recall if I added any recharge or not as Fulcrum makes it a lesser power later on, so no reason to invest 6 slots in it when other things have minimal slotting. Siphon Speed needs 1-2 Acc and 1-2 recharge. Speed Boost needs an End Mod in it. It gives enough speed and maybe too much already. Transference does no damage. You are wasting slots to get a bonus for recharge. I would rather have Performance Shifters in there. A Kin with a Chance to Heal in Transference is just so not needed. Fulcrum is simply over slotted. 2 acc, and 2 recharge are more than enough. Dominate, Mass Hyp. and Mind Over Body are criminally under slotted. Stealth and Grant Invis should have a LotG: +Recharge in them. The slotting and set bonuses don't seem to have a goal with them and ultimately don't add up to much of anything.

siphon power / FS: 2acc and 2 recharge does fine

 

siphon speed: i’d go 2 acc / 2 rech for this, it’s surprisingly useful

 

dominate: if you slot with 1 acc and 5 damage procs it becomes a genuinely strong power 

 

not picking up vengeance is a mistake if you ask me, slotting for 2 def on a defender makes it a very strong team buff

 

for my kin/sonic i didn’t bother with many set bonuses or particular direction and it does fine, my advice would be to pick the sets you find fun as kin is so powerful nearly any build will play fine

Remember, in boss fights, siphon speed slow is IRRESISTIBLE. Carry on.

and it’s perfect for stopping Rommy/Requiem going for a jog during the third ITF mish!
