Breath of Fire, perhaps with and added range enhancement for a bigger cone. It lets you alternate Aim and Build Up every other spawn. Also consider yet another AoE for even more mass-arresting.
I like Psychic Scream -> Fire Breath -> Fireball. I don't have PSW yet on my Fire/Mental Blaster but just using the cones and Fire Ball does a pretty good job and it can be used at range where PSW requires getting in the middle of a group and therefore not being in position to use cones. Once I switch to set IOs I plan to get some +range in Fire Breath... if I can get it to 60' like Psychic Scream it should be a lot easier to hit enemies with both cones.
PSW looks like a great attack but with only a 25% stun chance I'm not sure it's worth getting in the middle of the action to use it. I plan to take it and use it in groups or fire it off solo when multiple enemies get close to me, but I'm not planning to use it as part of my standard AoE chain unless I get a lot better at quickly hopping in and out of the enemy group so I can use my cones too.
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

Only use Aim or Build up, then use psw, fireball, and jump out and use either cone, that seemed to work the best for me. I also had SS+celerity and CJ, so I was very mobile, not sure if/what your build has, but thats how I did it.

The big issue I'm having is right before the mob is dead they lose the stun of psychic shockwave and scatter all over the map. Anyone have any tips? I'm still shy 20% recharge (and will be until I get 2 purp sets). Hints, tips, tricks are appreciated. Thanks!

But I hope strongly that they assume a meth-head somehow managed to hack into my forum account and make paper airplanes out of my posts, because I hope they recognize stupid when they see it. I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.
