/Elec /Nrg /Psi Thanks in advance. |
/Nrg gives single target damage primarily, and a boost to control via powerboost. Some damage mitigation is there via knockback/stun.
/Psi is a jack of all trades that can do ranged, a bit of melee, or AoE. (two AoE's, but they both have a higher target limit than other assault powers.) It can skip the fitness pool/heal itself if you use drain psyche well.
I can't give PvP perspective, but that is what the basic sets offer.
Elec Assault
Pros : Good burst damage (partly due to Build Up). Voltaic Sentinal attacks while you're mezzed.
Cons : 2 AoEs, one a weak cone, one PBAoE knockback. Voltaic Sentinal seems to need resummoning every time it would be useful, won't focus on the target you want to die and won't go away if it's drawing unwanted aggro.
Energy Assault
Pros : Good single target. Improved control through Power Boost. Some reliable stun/knockback attacks.
Cons : Lacking AoE (only one AoE attack). Inconsistant knockback on most ranged attacks.
Psi Assault
Pros : Drain Psyche. Good AoE. Drain Psyche. Decent single target. Drain Psyche.
Cons : PSW isn't what is used to be, you need more than two powers from the set now. Robots resist psi damage to ridiculous extents.
Seldom and Edana...thx a lot for the information; appreciate it.
