Critique my Mental Blaster Build

[dtaxtman86]

Looking to be survivable, but with enough recharge and damage. Wondering if i should go for a ST spell instead of the cones for rotation sake. Let me know.

It will work fine as is, but can be improved. I see you got some defenses to the softcap, this is not as useful as it might seem.  You have no defense debuff resistance so even at 45% its very easy to have it taken away.  That defense is not totally useless, but you left a lot of damage on the table to get that defense as well as recharge debuff resist.  Many of your attacks can do another 20% or more damage if you swap out some sets for 2 winters or so with 4 procs.  The winters will give you resistance to recharge debuffs at 2 or 3 pieces to add to the 20% you got from winter's gift.  The longer the power recharge (before global bonuses) the better the chance to proc a damage effect.  Psionic Lance, Mace Beam Volley, Telekinetic Thrust would have 70% chance each time to fire off the procs if you dont have any recharge ios in them.  You also might want to consider raising accuracy of your powers, 95% accuracy is the cap.

 

Consider the following possibility:

Expected damage = (base damage) × (hit chance)

• Option A: 400 damage × 0.75 chance to hit = 300

• Option B: 350 damage × 0.95 chance to hit = 332.5

So Option B wins by 332.5 − 300 = 32.5 expected damage (≈ 10.8% more).
