Build Request Mind / Time / Sorcery / Psionic Mastery Controller

[Radeon]

Greetings everyone, 

 

my homage to Dr. Fate reached her Incarnate Age now and is requesting a major overhaul to be a full fledged hero with decent Sets and Build, so i am asking the professionals here if any of you would throw in a usable and fun to play build. 

 

I am almost always on teams, so i don't need a +4/*8 soloable 4* Dr. Aeon build but one, which is strong, helpful for the team and can survive one or the other encounter with a surprise mob (oooops - they NEVER stood here before!). 

 

If possible, i would like to keep the powersets/pools i mentioned because of style over substance. (but a little bit of substance is nice as well, that's why i am here :-) .

 

I went through the forum for ideas, but the builds i found are more than 5 years old, so i am hoping someone has a more modern one.

 

Money is not an issue in this case.

 

Thanks a lot for you help in advance, 

Arsinoe 🙂

How did this effort turn out? If I were to use those pools, I feel like I'd probably lean into the Sorcery pool hard, making sacrifices from the primary (Mind Control).

 

For this character, I'd definitely take Arcane Bolt (with 5xArmageddon), Mystic Flight (probably 2x or 3x Blessing of the Zephyr), and Rune of Protection (2x Resistance mules). The other two powers are useful, but I'd de-prioritize them.

 

For the Mind Control primary, I'd want the higher tier picks (T6 thru T9) and the earlier ones to taste.

 

The Time Manipulation Secondary is where the fun is. You definitely want Time Crawl, but it only needs a single slot with something like a H-O Endoplasm. If you want to try to leverage it for damage (since you should be using it on all your targets) 2x Pacing of the Turtle (Accuracy/Endurance, Accuracy/Slow) and 2x %Damage works for me.

 

Temporal Mending is a good power for Healing sets (I use 6x Preventive Medicine). Time's Juncture only needs a couple of slots, look at 2x H-O Enzyme. I slotted Distortion Field with a boosted Endurance/Recharge/Slow piece and a Superior Entomb (Recharge/%Absorb). Time Stop is used (by me) as a proc-bomb, 3x Gladiator's Net (boosting Accuracy pieces) and 2 or 3 more %damage. RNG works against more than 3 %proc hitting, but this is an AoE so 4 seems reasonable to me. Slowed Response is another power that can have a couple of %proc, if so I recommend 2x (boosted) Analyze Weakness to include Accuracy slotting.

 

I have Farsight franken-slotted: LotG Def/Recharge, 2x Hami-O Membrane, 2x Gaussian's (ToHit/Endurance, Recharge/Endurance).

 

I have Chrono Shift slotted with boosted 50+5 pieces: 2x Panacea (Endurance/Recharge, Heal/Recharge) and a boosted Endurance/Recharge (I used Doctored Wounds). I looked at different combinations, this is what I settled on.

 

I skipped Temporal Selection. This is a good power for allies, but I find it hard to predict which ally will really benefit from it, because of choices those players make, and how close to 'caps' they are. The AoE controls/buffs/debuffs are more reliable in my experience.

 

I'm not a huge fan of Psionic Mastery, I would probably only take Indomitable Will and Mind Over Body. I really dislike World of Confusion, it will barely make a difference if you 6-slot the Coercive Persuasion set in the AoE Confuse, and not at all if you also take the single-target Confuse for stacking. Some folks swear by those sorts of toggles, but between the necessary ToHit checks, small AoE and need for slots I find WoC to be too costly (in terms of slots) and it requires other layers of powers to make work. Mental Blast and Psionic Tornado can be fine, but a word of caution: Those attacks will only be available at higher levels, and at high levels there are a lot of enemies that highly resist Psi damage. I'd consider them only if I wanted them for theme, or for specific set bonuses.

First of all, thank you very much, that you put so much effort in your answer and explanation, i really appreciate this. 

 

I will try to work your suggestions into MIDS and see how it looks like then and will post it here.

 

Thank you 🙂
