the way i see it is that the secondary defender sets are mainly ur attack powers (hence the reason the are called ** blast) that then offer another bonus that helps. i.e. dark puts -acc things on enemies whereas psy puts -recharge on them and elec drains endurance. each set also gets a few holds/immobilizers/sleep powers aswell.
so basically i think its just a case of uterlisin these added bonuses.
before ED my attacks were the standard 1 acc 5 dmg. but now i am most probably goin to be placin tohitdebuff enhancements into the blasts aswell.. that way i'm doin less dmg but i'm also gettin hit less 
mayb if u want to stick with psy u shud try thinkin about puttin -rechrg enhc (if there is such a thing), this would obviously cause the enemy to attack less and therefore deal less dmg.

There is currently no way to enhance a powers -rchg.

thanks for pointing that out
psi seems to be the worst effected by ED then.. at least with the others u can enhance the secondary effects of powersets (i.e. dark blast -acc, rad -def etc)
Can't enhance sonic's -RES 
but the set is pretty good as it is anyway...
Dark blast is rather controllery. You have a cone root in Tenebrous Tentacles, an AoE disorient in Dark Pit (works great with the tentacles) and a cone knockback in Torrent. The tohit debuff in Dark Blast powers can be enhanced.

If you continually hit the same target with a Psi move, does the -recharge effect stack in any way?
Hard to tell but it seemed like it does with Psi Dart with the Dominator power.
Yes it does, but with most of the psi attacks it isnt possible due to the [censored] horrible long animations.

Least I know
The devs are looking at fixing the long animation times are they not?
Probably not.
Ok i'm in the throws of testing and re-speccing my Emp / Psy and I have noticed that not only do I spend more time healing at a lower rate but the tools that gave me control over a fight namely my buffs (RA, AB etc) have been seriously affected by ED I can no longer guarantee them being availiable when required leaving my team dangerously vulnerable.
To make up some of this slack I have been looking at defender secondaries notably Psy to give some measure of control back to my toon, whereas nearly all the other secondaries have a focus to slot upon debuff for Rad, Cone holds and acc defuff for dark, psy seems to have no real focus.
My old build had TK Blast, Psy Scream and Will Dom all 6 slotted, my damage output has always bee sub par hurting my ability to solo but now with ED my DPS is pathetic, I wouldn't actually mind if I could gain some measure of control with the secondary effects of my powers but this doesn't seem viable. I am putting serious consideration into the leadership pool and others at the expense of my attacks as they seem so ineffective.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a reasonable method of control availaible for Psy or any other secondary Def set that could be used under ED?
