Build Review: Psi/Nrg/Mu

[Underfyre]

So the aim is heavy Tank capabilities with a minor leaning toward damage. Can lean heavier on damage by not 6-slotting epic sets to grab Psi/Toxic resists, but I'm trying to fill that hole. I'm thinking if I wanted full tank capabilities I should have just made a Tanker, so I should just slot for more damage output rather than fret over the Psi hole.

 

Questionable slotting choices:

Psi Blade: 4 slot Blistering Cold to grab the 6% F/C resists. Not really a fan, of that, but whatever.

TK Blow: Not sure if 6-slotting Unrelenting Fury is worth it, so here it is.

Psi Blade Sweep: If this proc works like the Sentinel one, putting this in an AoE ability should be optimal. If it don't, welll...

I always question why people chase random resist bonuses, but don't factor in slotting and wasted enhancements.

------------

You have the +Def Steadfast/Gladiator, but are over the soft cap except for energy so only need 1.  You 5 slot a passive which gives miniscule benefits, but moving the slots from Dampening field to Tough gives about 4% more S/L resist which benefits more from the +Resist and just slotting 2 normal resists in Dampening field results in -1.5% energy resist.  You slot a Performance shifter +end proc in Energy drain which should be in Stamina, while forgeting the Energize is a -EndReduction and heal so you are better off with a End/Acc/Rech in Energy drain to get a bit more bang.

 

Reshuffle your slots around, try to maximize what you need but don't shoehorn in large numbers of slots which give almost no benefits.  Factor in the normal benefit of the power itself, then slot the IO set you want; like the Dampening Field to Tough I mentioned.

Shooting for 50% for incarnate content. So realistically Energy is 2.23% short and Negative is 12.5% short. I should have opened with that. My bad.

 

As for slotting an IO in Stamina, some math.

 

Stamina has a 22.1% chance to trigger a 10% stamina boost every 10 seconds. There is no guarantee that it will go off every 10 seconds.

 

22.1% * 10% (we'll assume base 100 End) / 10 = 0.22 End/s average

A +5 IO increases Stamina from 0.46 end/s to 0.7, a 0.24 increase.

 

So that's my reasoning there.

 

As for Tough and Dampening Field, I'll swap that slotting.

To be fair, the 10% End from Performance Shifter catches up to a +5 IO when you have 110+ endurance. This build doesn't have any +end bonuses, but will eventually have Portal Jockey and Atlas Medallion. At that point it's choosing 12 of one and a dozen of the other. I'm more of a fan of constant numbers over % chances.

Energy Drain and Energize has got you covered.  One pulls in, the other reduces the cost.  Will literally never be empty, Incarnate have a +Recovery power.
