Psychic Blast/Energy Aura/Psionic Mastery Sentinel

[Psybotic]

Hi forums !

 

Been lurking a while, decided to share what I run with now I've got my sentinel to 50. 

 

This 'build' is what has dropped, and what I could afford without farming/grinding.

 

I'll read feedback but I'm just sharing. This guy is fun. ; )

At least you'll read this... 

 

Scramble Thoughts is the single hardest hitting power in the entire AT.  It out performs Psionic Strike.  

 

Will Domination has the best damage to activation ratio in the entire kit, and you skipped it.  Telekinetic Blast is also very good.  In fact, Will Dom, TK Blast, and Scramble all out perform Psionic Strike for general efficiency.  

 

Mental Blast is the worst power out of the entire kit, and you really don't need it.  It can be nice to have for Offensive Opportunity, but Offensive Opportunity is only going to add 15-20% bonus damage of the base power.  In the case of Scramble Thoughts that can be a nice 35-45 damage, but this damage is reduced by resistances separately.  Just how much Offensive Opportunity adds in overall DPS is pretty variable.  At best it may be adding 10~ DPS, but usually it is about half that.  

 

Psionic Tornado is actually not that bad in comparison to Shockwave.  

 

The Gaussian's set in Link Minds is one of the last places I'd ever think to put that set.  You're WAAAAAY over your needs for accuracy/to-hit and the Gaussian's proc is pretty much wasted there.  

The defenses are quite solid.  The actual potential damage here isn't that bad and that's despite my criticism of the build.  Its just the damage could be better, and you don't need to break your budget it for it.  You'd just need to change power selection.  Then, if you ever felt you wanted to go for a different take with other sets you may push damage even further.

heck, I'll try out those power selection changes. And Gaussian's... it'll work in Psychic Focus ? I practically auto cast that one...

 

 

Thanks, olskool

It will work, and retain the maximum 90% chance to proc. It's very nice in there, because the cooldown of Aim-type powers is the same as Sentinel nukes (90s). So you get the equivalent of Build Up + Aim like a Blaster to boost your nuke damage.

It does and it rocks !
