Mind with psy or energy?

I'm planning to build a mind Dom and wondered which of these two secondaries to go with.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Energy.

...Well, given the thoroughness of the question, that's the thoroughest answer I can give.

Energy's probably the better choice - Psi is a good secondary but the rebalancing during I15 brought it down a few pegs, and Mind/Psi means all your damage is psi which isn't a big deal normally but when you go up against psi-resistant mobs you'll cry.

What are you concerned about? If it's the psi resistant mobs then make sure you take Levitate and TK Thrust, those do smashing damage. Also, if you find the killling slow against psi resistant mobs, confuse them and make them attack each other. Although my own preference out of those 2 secondaries is psi assault, I'm not trying to sell you own it, rather my purpose is to say that psi resistant mobs aren't the reason to not choose /psi.

Thanks for the replies guys,
I'm going to go with mind/energy then make an elec/psy when GR goes live.

Stealth and Invis, why do you want them?

I'd certainly be taking Terrify and Mass Confusion at 26 and 32, and Power Burst at 38 and leaving them off until later sometime. They're low priority IMO.

How did you manage to take Stamina at 20 with just Swift taken before it? Health is taken at 28.

i must have a messed up builder lol or i just copied it wrong

anyway, i figured invis would let me get into a setup position or something especially for pvp but if it's not needed...
