Trying to plan a Fire/Psi Dom. Could use some help with it. This is theoretical so budget is no concern. I played this combo early in CoV to about ~40, so I'm by no means an expert. I'm not sure the best way to go about defenses, is it better to plan for defense or resistances? Things should be CC'd most of the time so I imagine resistance is better for the rare hits and bosses that aren't CC'd, right? Also, not sure the best way to go about power/patron pools. I know Fire Mastery is popular, but it seems like Psi Mastery is the new hotness, though I'm not entirely sure why. This is what I came up with in Mids, consider it a first draft.

Look up “contrafreeloading”, even animals prefer to work for their reward.

Unpolished, would be a good way to describe it.

As someone who rolled my live BS/DA to PM/DA, I’ve been pretty disappointed. I stuck it out to 50, and a full build, and can say boggle and insight are missed opportunities, and the psi damage type trade off is both underwhelming in breadth and overpenalized in depth. I can also echo the sentiment that GPB feels slow. Psi Blade Sweep could have a little more range too. Please awesome HC team, put this primary on your radar for QoL buffs, damage tuning, and partial revamp.

I didn’t know this about Invader. I’ll definitely utilize that for my red side toons. What I really appreciate about that post is it outlines a sort of normal game experience, almost a completionist run (or completionist “lite” if you will). I stuck to it pretty close on my first toon back to the game here on HC, using no xp boost, to get a sort of classic experience of the leveling process and the content that was designed for those levels. I’m older and wiser now and have an appreciation for the level design and other systems at play. That said, I’m also not able to sink as much time into the game as I once could, and in the later levels I got bored/impatient and resorted to more efficient grindy solutions like +4 PI portal mission groups to finish up. Either way it’s a great road map to level with and get a very full experience of the game’s content for anyone, new or old. I wish someone would make a red side version!

Just wanted to update this for future reference. According to the patch notes from today (Issue 26, Page 4): "Tanker Melee > Psionic Melee > Greater Psi Blade: Should no longer do AoE insight damage."

I found myself in a similar quandry as OP and I have to second the Sup Crit Strikes slotting. I don’t have facts to back it, but it feels like it procs often, despite dmg auras being theoretically bad proc abilities, and I notice it going off even on ST like you said. It maybe sub optimal, but it does indeed work.

MrAxe posted screenshot evidence of Greater Psi Blade AoE on Tanker here: The leading theory is that it's a bug related to Tanker's Gauntlet passive.

Popularity; the powerset statistics for each Archetype for characters that are level 50. From this post in the GD:

Just going to leave this here.

I was one of the unfortunate saps that played MA on release. I loved the animations until I realized other classes were about twice as fast and did more damage, but alas MA/SR fit my theme. Then I found the the power of BS/DA. But Katana/Regen and Spines/Regen were far and away the most popular.
