Returning Player, ***/Psi?

[Koda651]

Tittle kind of says it all.  Returning after a year-long hiatus and looking to make a Psi Armor stalker.  Undecided on primary.

 

I know Energy Melee does bonkers ST damage, but I'm looking for recommendations on a "balanced" set with at least one decent PBAoE.  I already have a StJ/Stone and Elec/EA, both 50, so not too interested in repeating primaries.

 

I'm experimenting with a Staff/Psi right now.  Does Staff do respectable ST dps when fully kitted out?  I do recall toying around with Psi Melee in the past and don't recall loving it, but I'd be willing to give it a shot again.  Any other primary recommendations that...

 

1. Have respectable ST

2. Have some PBAoE (or a large cone)

3. Bonus: have CC to stack with the aura from /Psi

 

Thanks in advance.  It feels good to be back!

Yeah, think I'm leaning toward that or staff or savage now.

Ice Melee. Currently leveling an Ice/Psionic. Really good leveling experience. Recommended.

Certainly been comfy on my baby Scrapper of that combo.

And Ice Melee Stalks are TASTY (Ice/Regen that never left Praetoria on her way to 50. Haven't figured out how I'm gonna Incarnate her...), so, should be a good ride.

I fourth this.  The pbaoe attack with a sleep element pairs real well with Aura of Insanity.  Enemies affected by the random sleep control from Aura get an after effect of -resistance.
