By the way, is it advisable to slot a FF +rech proc in every available powers of Energy just to get more recharge?

 

Well, you WOULD want it in the AoE except that it's a Stun power and so it doesn't have the chance to slot one.

Otherwise, I think that it's a good idea to put one in Power Burst and one in Sniper Blast while leveling, then once you get purple sets so you have higher Recharge, consider whether the Recharge proc is more useful than a Damage proc. For most builds, I would switch to damage, but I'm not sure I'd do that with a Mind/Energy... Mind really plays much better when you have the Recharge to cycle Total Domination and Mass Slaughterification, and with the long base recharge of Mass Confusion, Mind really likes to have extra Recharge. So... I think that I might leave the two procs in those.

It does work out nicely that you can still 5-slot Apocalypse in Burst, and 5-slot Manticore in Sniper.

Possibly ... it would depend on slotting and power recharge/rotation.  They wouldn't be able to do much more than just merely Hold the AV (try doing enough damage to overcome the AV's regeneration while doing nothing but spamming Hold powers).  The problem is getting enough time/attack opportunities in so as to build a deep enough stack (it would take at least 10 rotations of 2 Hold powers alternating to build up enough Mag) ... during which the AV will be attacking (either you or an aggro magnet).  However, if you've got an aggro magnet who can take the pounding for long enough, it CAN be done with the help of your Singularity (which also casts Gravity Distortion, so you'll get at least some additional Mag that way).

 

Ideally speaking you'd slot Gravity Distortion, Time Stop AND Singularity for increased Hold duration in order to realize that possibility.  Note that doing this will often times conflict with other (franken)slotting priorities for those powers, since damage is often times preferred over duration.

Currently, my Grav/Time controller has all the powers that accept hold sets 4 slotted with Basilisk's Gaze for the 7.5% recharge. I did use all the hold duration enhancements in those sets I could.

Distortion field, does have a chance of hold in it. So that's some help as well.

From what I can tell, Singularity doesn't take Hold sets. Otherwise, I'd have put Basilisk's Gaze in there for a 5th 7.5% Recharge. So, I have 3.5 holds, not counting the Singularity.

I will say that I haven't spec'd this build out for AV huggles. If I did, All my holds would be 6 slotted for hold and recharge, instead of just 4 slotted.

However, with the amount of recharge I have at the moment, I can drop both ST holds and still manage another power or two in there as well. Like, Time Crawl, which has -regen.

 

Granted, I seriously doubt that I'd be able to take down an AV all by my lonesome.

At best, I think we'd come to a stand-off. If I can survive the initial stacking of holds to overpower the protection they have.

Which epic or patron should I pick for my mind/energy Dom?

[Psyonico]

Mace has Scorpion Shield for an extra LOTG mule if you need it

Ice has Sleet and Frozen Armor (Though Frozen armor doesn't come until later)

Leviathan has Water Spout, which is just fun 😛
