Mind Fryer Build Critique

[The_Warpact]

Hiya, I remember back on live Mind Fryer Trollers used to be pretty awesome in pve and pvp. I used to have all my old builds on my pc which got fried by lightening so decided to make a new one. Any advice is of course appreciated.

Switch the sets in Warmth and Cauterize, then move the Numina's proc to Warmth. You can figure you'll use Warmth at least every 2 minutes, so you'll always have the proc active, and this way you get the 3.75% Ranged Defense bonus from that set.

 

This frees you to slot Terrify with 5 Positron's and a damage proc, getting way more damage out of it and still end up a bit ahead on Ranged Defense. This assumes you're going to use Barrier to soft-cap... if you're going with Clarion, then keeping Terrify with the set that gives Ranged Defense and making the above change will put you at the soft-cap for Ranged Defense.

 

Alternately you could put Frozen Blast in Terrify and get a large boost to AoE defense.

Thanks I'll try the different options you pointed out and go from there.

Appreciate you taking the time to look.

Terrify slotted with a knockdown proc has a very good chance to sweep a mob off its feet. If you do this, they lose out on their chance to attack or run when hit by a follow up Terrify. For that reason this is a good power to put Ragnarok in. The alternative is to 5 slot something like Positron's Blast and make the 6th slot Ragnarok. Or you can elect for 2 damage procs in this power.

 

In general, any time you can combine Terrify with knockdown, you've increased the safety the power offers, including with powers like Energy Torrent.
