Elec/Kin Build Assistance

[Mercurias]

Hey folks!

 

So now that I'm back in the game, I'm in full-on controller mode. I tried out an Elec/Kin troller purely on concept, and I found enough synergy between them that I decided he's my first toon to head for 50+.

 

From what I can tell, this won't ever be a controller who can solo AVs, and that's fine. My main question is on how to build it in a way that I can:

1) Reach defense softcaps, or close enough to it that I can use a single purple insp to get me there.

2) Maintain heavy recharge and recovery, which likely will happen while trying to reach the softcaps.

3) Get some sort of mez protection along the way. It likely won't be perfect, but all I need is some. 

 

Is that something that can be built?

[Mercurias]

Well I took a crack at my own build after a while back in-game.

 

I was able to softcap AoE and Ranged Defenses, but not melee. The endurance drain is pretty heavy on the character, but with Conductive Aura and Transference both working (Transference is up every ten seconds), I think I'm alright there. Mez protection came in the form of Clarion. 

 

If anyone can point out how to push it the last little bit into the melee softcap, then I'd appreciate them sharing. Likewise, any other comments or questions would be appreciated.
