psionic/super strength build video

[Hatecube]

Hey all, Got this guy to 50 recently and decided to show a little video of how he plays! I don't know psionic that well but i decided to give it a shot with the build at the end. Let me know what you think!

Haven't tried psi armr on any AT yet but it looks fun. Whats it like vs  other enemy types?

Have you considered a game pad? It takes a few sessions to get used to, but once you do you can keypress all your abilities rather than mouse click, which then allows you to mouse turn instead of keyboard turn, which is much much faster and fluid. 

 

I use the logitech g13.

Looks cool,. I think i try that on a Brute however. I was going to make my first tanker but since i just started playing CoH as tankers got a hard nurf that kinda deswayed me from doing so.

The amount of nerfing has been vastly overstated. Say on the order of calling a 10 mph wind a hurricane.

I remember from live that tankers ware terribly boring as the damage output was wofuly low while leveling at least since i never hot one to 50,  if its anyware like itbwas than, im not sure i can get it to it.

With the extra 100% exp boos now days i migh give it a shot eventually at least in to 30s and see what it feels like.

 

What would ypu suggest for the most damaging tanker with desent AoEs orit cones but still great ST output?.

 

EM? SS i dont like reliance on rage i dont think by the sound of it, or SJ maybe? I like SJ on my Brute, how is that on tanker damage and cone size wise?

The simple math tells you there has been no massive decline in damage. Single target damage is untouched. Aread damage, for the most part, only takes a hit when you fully saturate the area with targets, and even then the initial targets are taking full damage, just the overcap targets are taking reduced and that still leaves you at more damage than on live.

Energy Melee has good single target, though some do not like one of its area attacks (its fine, just a matter of if you are going to use your stored Energy Transfer effect on it). Super Strength's Foot Stomp is the only area attack in the set, but it has increased damage compared to other AoEs and you can (and should) take Cross Punch as a second AoE from the Fighting Pool. Battle Axe is a world of fun.

 

I like SJ's area attacks even if on the whole the damage output of the set is strictly mid-range.
