I have been a world of warcraft gamer, but after view your post, I will give kinetics a try. Thanks for the write up

I also highly recommend Kinetics. It brings the fun and is one of the few things that will actually make you feel like a superhero (when minions level on par with you). If you can find another Kinetics hero to work with, you’ll both jump for joy (speed boosted Kinetics heroes are incredible).

The endurance recovery from Speed Boost is actually twice as effective as Stamina with the same slotting, and the recharge boost is nearly as good as Hasten.

Many people hate Repel, but it’s situationally very powerful. Mass knockback to give leeway for an emergency heal is golden, and near corners it’s a very effective herding tool, setting up nicely for Fulcrum Shift.

Siphon Speed is particularly nice in missions when combined with Hover. You get base Fly speed for very little endurance, and can keep yourself just above melee range, which keeps yourself close enough to benefit from your powers while herding any melee that targets you.

I went with Ice Control as my primary, with the full intention of focusing on Kinetics. Ice Control has a lot of AoE soft control (Arctic Fog & Ice Patch) which make it easy to contain a group in a small area while debilitating them.
