I'm now a level 25 Empath/Psionic Blast defender, and I've just done the respec TF and I am looking to streamline my build a little, but before I make a mistake, I'd like to ask the more experienced players for a little guidance, as this is my first toon in CoX and I've only been here a couple of weeks.
Although I will rarely need to solo (as I play CoH with my Fire/Fire Blaster Wife too, on top of mainly grouping), I still want a balanced Psi/Empath build. I'm not a PvPer either.
Looking at the Empath skill list, the only skill I'm NOT looking at is Absorb Pain. The rest seem pretty useful for team play.
On the Psi list, I'm a little more unsure. Probaly NOT Subdue, Psychic Scream, & Scramble Thoughts, but most of the rest.
Extra pools, I was currently looking at:
Hover, Fly (as main transport to & in missions)
Recall Friend (for ressing)
After that, I'm not sure...
Some people seem to like Fitness pool for Stamina, however so far I do not run out of Endurance in groups...
Leadership seems good for buffs, but only if people are in range...
Other pools... I don't know.
And looking ahead... Is Power Mastery 'really' that great? At first glance to me it doesn't seem 'that' good, and I think that Psychic Mastery may be preferable.
I've played with a few different types of builds in planners, but can't really decide what would actually be better when playing.
I know I can change again in another 10 levels, but I'd like to try and get on a good path.
I've seen quite a few 'guides', but many seem out of date, so has anyone got any comments on my first impressions, or have some good insights for me?
Thanks
