00Troy00 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I've had a couple of people tell me that Ice/Kins or Elec?Kins are better for TFs (especially hard-mode content) because regular mobs die fast enough anyway, and the debuff from the aforementioned sets makes the difference against GM's or AV's. What's the prevailing thought on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoroit Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 not sure I'd agree. at snapshot: pure kin? fire/kin corruptor. or... -- grav / kin. some cc, an exclude, a mob tp, and space to devote the ~54% of uptime required to fully run /kin on cooldowns. -- necro / kin. a bit ludicrous - busy. be good at pet control. you want to blast? (always corruptor) -- fire - damage -- ice - if they'll stay put... but fire. slows... sure... -- elec - shock is nice. end drain is not very effective on AV, at all. -- psi - some recharge debuff. av gonna resist all that stuff.

Without_Pause Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think the important part is playing the Kin. As someone who had a Kin/elec main on Live and a Elec/kin controller on here, I don't find end drain all that worthy. It is more work then it cam be worth if it is worth anything at all. Some AVs simply will not be drained of their end and will attack even with a sliver of end. I would outright question anyone saying end drain can be effective against AVs. If mobs die too fast and it is about the AVs, Kin/sonic or Kin/beam are the first I would look at due to -Res. After that you are looking at ones with solid ST damage or pets.

Endal Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 What about NRG / Kin? I heard someone say Energy is supposed to be the strongest of the blaster attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard someone say Energy is supposed to be the strongest of the blaster attacks Strongest how? En doesn't have DoT which is what is going to be an advantage for a Corr versus a Blaster. En gets better DPS wise once you added in KB to KD IOs oddly enough, and you will want to do that as Kin absolutely doesn't want things being KBed away. I like En, but I prefer it much more on a Blaster. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Emma Strange: Ill/dark Controller. 5.

ironjoe Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 On our Aeon Hard Mode runs we like having an Ice or Fire Kin along as one of the components of a well planned team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarySai Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 My money's on psi/kin if we're talking hard modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
