Good day all, I've been perusing the forums for a bit now, but with news of the respec coming, I thought I'd jump in for some advice. But, that's not what this is about (not directly at least).
My primary character has been a Dark/Psyonics defender from the beginning (currently half way to level 24). I just wanted to pop in with a couple cents on this topic. I wanted to be a team player, but knew I would be soloing a lot as well, so I took all the initial psychic powers just so I could deal some damage. I too am regreting taking subdue as well as slotting that and mental blast, but that's not what I want to focus on here. I wanted to chime in about the use of psyonic lance. This has been one of my favorite attacks and when I got Will Domination, it just made it that much better. It has actually become an in battle power rather than just an advance power. I have it slotted with a recharge reudction and an interupt time reduction to help me out here. At any rate, I can keep my target villain asleep long enough to fire off the lance and by that time, the sleep is almost recharged to put him right back to sleep again (sorry, I don't have my stats readily available. I don't know exactly HOW these are slotted). When circled by mobs, this is still viable. My hover makes me slightly harder to hit and I have taken to using Howling Twilight to debuff the baddies so I don't have to worry about them interrupting the lance. It is only now looking back that I regret not taking Darkest Night as that would make the whole thing MUCH easier. I don't have TK blast yet...and frankly don't know why I held off, but am looking forward to adding that to my arsenal.
At any rate, I am looking forward to respec so I can straighten some of my mistakes out and was curious as to any other Dark/Psy d(I know there must be one or two.) efenders out there had any insights.
