I would say there is a good chance you will be fine. with i19 your only going to lose the recovery rate from the slotting and still get the benefit from the base power. One suggestion would be copy to test, if youhave the early beta access to issue 19 and respec and try it out. But once you achieve perma dom figure that bar is filling again every 90 seconds. Also figure that as you IO set up the secondary (which is your biggest end drain with earth) that those sets have slotted into them end reduction which you might not currently be taking advantage of. Even 20 percent or so reduction acrossed an entire sets IOs is a big help. Plus recovery bonuses from the sets themselves. |

This is actually something im considering with my mind/psi dom. I could already probably live without stamina with the psi powers, however between inherent stamina and that clicky recovery power in the psi pool i think i will be more then fine with no slotting on stamina.
If nothing else if youjust have common IOs in stamina now, just pull 2 of them out and see how it goes, It only costs you the cost of replacing the IOs if it doesnt work well for you. But that should mirror the end use post i19 and then figure that if you know that works you just have to start planning on what to do with the power choices and slots when it goes live.
I think you'll have some end problems, Earth is pretty end heavy and if you're running both Hot Feet and Mud Pots, even more so. I used to have a Mind/Earth that ate through end like crazy even with Permadom and Power Sink, then again I had most of the AoE's slotted with Obliterations.

I run a Mind/Psi/Soul w/o stamina, but he does have Health.
I just hit 50 with my mind/nrg dom today. With the thought that i19 would be here long before I made any significant progress with her I decided to skip Fitness. I can honestly say I'm glad I'll never have to do that again. I used the empowerment buffs and temp powers a lot to make up for my lack of stamina before hitting perma-dom. Even afterward, I found it very easy to drain my blue bar before domination recharged. This was with a mostly single target attack chain and running only Tactics.
/Psi certainly helps with endurance management with Drain Psyche. It's undoubtedly the best secondary if you're thinking about skipping stamina.

I leveled from 1-50 without stamina and also used to run arctic air and all the leadership toggles at once on my /psi. It combined with domination makes everything fine. |

I personally think it would be a bad idea to skip stamina altogether, but stamina with 1 slot is probably ok once you get perma dom going.
