Build Feedback (Psi/Temp)


Tonio

Recommended Posts

I'm still working on my build-making skills, and would love some feedback.

 

I'm trying to go for decent survival (would love softcapped defenses, but not sure whether that's viable) and high recharge, going for a mix of melee/pbaoe and ranged.  Not worrying too much about what the final build will cost, so any suggestions that involve using more expensive enhancements are more than welcome.

You took melee powers so I'm going to assume that you are not afraid to mix it up in melee. If that is how you intend to play then I would suggest from a survival standpoint that you build up smashing/lethal AND ranged defenses. Smashing/Lethal defense will cover most of the melee attacks enemies throw at you and ranged defense will cover the ranged attacks from enemies that you aren't facepunching. Don't make the mistake of thinking that melee blasters just need melee protection, the ranged stuff from enemies can end a fight before it begins.

 

Melee blasters also need to learn how to move and WHEN to move. It's fine to get up in a mobs face and punch them but that doesn't mean you stay in their faces all day long. Punch punch kite, just out of their melee range.

 

This is what I whipped up with a heavy protection focus. If you want more recharge get rid of the sorcery pool and put in super speed and hasten and you will have an extra slot to play with.

I just started a Psi/Temp in Goldside and I've soloed that content to 10th so far.  How are you enjoying your character?  I see both builds have Psychic Focus and Chronos.  Is it worth having both?

 

Any powers from either set that you recommend skipping?

 

Is leadership really worth it?

Edited by laudwic
I don't understand why both builds have leadership on a Blaster.

Leadership is included to squeeze in the extra defense needed to reach the magical number for defense softcap - 45% At 45% defense enemies have a 5% chance of hitting you. This is a game changer for blasters who have all the damage in the world but no defense.

 

Psychic focus and Chronos are both damage boosts and they don't replace each other. For blasters that bit of burst damage could mean 1 shotting a group vs 2-3 shots with the risk of additional retaliation. Kill something before it kills you, that's especially true if you are running with no defenses, PF and chronos help you do that. I don't consider either of them skippable for blasters.

 

Of powers to skip, most of them will come from the /temp secondary side especially if you don't want to use the melee oriented powers. If that's the case then you can cross off aging touch, end of time and future pain since they require you to be up close and personal. From psi blast you can skip either psionic dart or mental blast, if you don't have the luxury of running around with a build that's survivable you might want to keep scramble thoughts. For the builds where survival is not an issue that can also be dropped.
