Drain Psyche (Mental Manipulation) slotting?

My Blaster and Dominator both have this Drain Psyche move. While on my Dom, she took Stamina at 20, while on my Blaster, against my better judgement, I decided to go with Drain Psyche first.

First thoughts is wow, it really works well when you can drain from several people at once, and combined with some Recharges, it's even better.

What is the optimal way of slotting this power later on, be it with normal SOs or IO sets or frankenslotting? I'm aware that it has good regen rate too, but do people slot for that, or just for endurance?

I currently have the following planned:
Numina: Heal/Endurance/Recharge
Numina: Heal/Recharge
Doctored Wounds: Heal/Recharge
Efficacy Adaptor: EndMod/Accuracy
Efficacy Adaptor: EndMod/Accuracy/Recharge
Efficacy Adaptor: Accuracy/Recharge

This gives me:
73.78% Accuracy
21.20% Endurance Reduction
47.70% Endurance
78.78% Heal
98.29% Recharge

Along with set bonuses:
12% Regen/0.06% HP/sec
13.6HP/1.12%HP
1.5% Recovery/0.03 End/sec

This requires six slots, but even so, I'm not sure if I made use of the correct IOs. Any suggestions, people?

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Level 22: Drain Psyche H'zdH-Heal/EndRdx/Rchg:35(A), H'zdH-Heal/Rchg:35(23), H'zdH-Heal:35(23), RechRdx-I:35(25), Efficacy-EndMod/Acc/Rchg:35(27), Acc-I:35(27)

Is how I have mine, its a nice regen debuf. I might review at level 50, see if I can get more debuff on it without losing recharge

I think looking at the slots alone without the rest of the build is half a story. You may not need 73% Acc in a power because you have +Acc bonuses from elsewhere or you may be tohit buffing yourself. I think I am 1 sec rechg better than the OP and gave myself extra regen otoh and lost some accuracy but with the rest of the build that accuracy was superfluous.

I slotted two of my toons which have it with 5 doctored wounds, all but heal/end and a standard acc IO. But I also have alot of +acc from sets, so I'm not really sure whether you may need more on the acc side.

@Lukas

I have mine slotted with

Numina's Convalescence: Heal
Numina's Convalescence: Heal/Rech
Numina's Convalescence: Heal/End/Rech
Efficacy Adaptor: Endmod/Rech
Efficacy Adaptor: Acc/Rech
Accuracy IO

All of them are between levels 44 and 48. Gives me 93% rech, 89% heal and 65% acc. Set bonuses arent useless either, 12% regen and 3% maxHP. Works very nicely for me. If you dont have much money replace the Numina's with Doctored Wounds or if you're not one for frankenslotting go with Luke's slotting.

Just to be different, my Lvl 50 Psychic blaster has this slotted with Efficacy Adaptor EndMod/Acc/Rech and EndMod/Rech.

I chose this slotting because Drain Psyche isn't very useful for me. For one thing, I usually duo this toon with a heal heavy Defender so I don't really need the health. Secondly, I don't run short of endurance very often unless I'm in big fights. e.g. invasions.

DP is very short range. I can't use it without running into a group of mobs. When I'm duo'ing, the mobs will all be aggro'd on me making the manoeuvre horribly unhealthy.

In short, it just isn't worth many slots in my situation.

Of course, if I regularly duo'd with a tank or controller, or spent a lot of time on big raids I might change it.

One thing to note about DP: it also does a hefty -regen debuff on the enemies it hits. 250% base and it is affected by heal enhancements so it will go up to near 500%. Very useful against AVs or GMs.

I'd forgotten about the debuffs. Thanks for reminding me.

Swap the doctored wounds and the Numina out for three Touch of the Nictus when you can get them? (If you have Stamina an extra 75% regen on its own should be more than enough fwiw)
