Stalker Epic: Energy vs. Psionic

[Lockpick]

Cross-posting from Stalker forum as there seems to be very limited interaction there.

 

My stalkers tend to burn END, so I usually go with Energy to get Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection to slot +END IOs.  Psionic has Harmonic Mind with allows the slot of the +END IO and provides a 14.9% END discount.

 

Any of you number crunchers out there have an idea of which might be better?  I instinctively assume Energy is better because you can slot 2 + END IOs, but the discount in HM also seems good and you still get 1 + END.

 

Plus Psionic Lance is better than Laser Beam Eyes and you only need 2 power picks with Psionic, but 3 with Energy. (I need a ranged attack from each Epic for slotting purposes).

 

I hope cross-posting like this is not against the rules, if so, please let me know and I will delete it.

hey - if you post your build it’ll be easier to see if there’s other things which will make a difference

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not really looking for build advice.  Just trying to figure out if the 14.9% discount is worth the equivalent of 1 +END IO.
