Drain Psyche

What would be the prefered slotting for this?

My preference? One generic invention accuracy, 5 doctored wounds. Use the doctored wounds with +recharge first, then +heal. Endurance reduction is kinda pointless on a power that immediately gives you +recovery. I go this way as I find the recovery more than sufficient, but extra regeneration is wonderful. And I slot towards +recharge set bonuses, so doctored wounds is a very easy way to get +5% recharge for a cheap price.

The best slotting priority would probably be Acc>Rech>Heal>EndMod>EndRdx... Frankenslotting DP will get you the best use of the power, if not the best set bonuses. Personally I'd go with something like this:


Level 20: Drain Psyche -- Nictus-Heal/HP/Regen/Rchg(A), Nictus-Acc/EndRdx/Rchg(21), Efficacy-Acc/Rchg(21), Efficacy-EndMod/Acc/Rchg(23), Numna-Heal/Rchg(23), Numna-Heal/EndRdx/Rchg(25)




Set Bonus Totals:

• 30.5 HP (3%) HitPoints
• 12% (0.51 HP/sec) Regeneration

I ran an Ice/Psi dom to 50 without Stamina (only got it after a respec for pvp, now the toon is useless for pvp because it relied on slows, woohoo), and slotting DP always for heal. And running the mega expensive toggle Arctic Air 24/7 with no problems thanks to DP.

My preferred slotting is also 1 acc + 5 doctored wounds (all but the heal/end) - I hit the recovery cap several times with this slotting, but the regen cap is much harder to achieve even with heal slotting. What I'm saying is that even running one of the most expensive toggle in the game all the time without stamina and attacking like mad, the recovery of heal-slotted DP was more than enough for me.

Plus, slotting for heal let me go to the middle of mobs and spam PSW (oh the good old days of PSW...), and the big regen bonus (about 1000% regen hitting 5 mobs if you slot for heal) allowed me to survive amidst the chaos.

Yep. 1 Acc, 5 times Doctored Wounds for my Mind/Psi. And I too skipped Stamina.

Depending on how much accuracy bonuses you have and if you're running Tactics, you may not even need the single Acc enhancement, I know I didn't with my Fire/Psi. Although, it's still nice to have and I agree with everybody saying to slot it with Doctored Wounds, recharge is always good for a Dom.

Thank you for the responses. Of note, this is on a Gravity so mitigation to get into melee to pull this off is a little light. Noticed that my grav/earth (who has and actively uses Dimension Shift) seems to do far better than my grav/psi and knowing that this one of Psionic Assault's better moves I needed to ask about slotting.

Don't give up. Once you get Psychic Shockwave at level 38, you'll be a nasty Mother Stunner. As you already know, Singularity will help, too.
