Aside from the fact that that looks like a pretty pricey build, I'd say it looks like a pretty good build. There's a few questions/comments I have, though.

1). Why haven't you taken tk blast? It's a fast activating power, offers you some ghetto control, and has a smashing damage component that is ridiculously helpful when you're up against robot foes, which have psi resistance.

2). Will domination is a heavy hitting single target attack with a sleep component, and along with tk blast and subdue, should form your single target attack chain. Take it, slot it, love it.

3). Mental blast isn't a terribly decent power, even when slotted up. I personally wouldn't put anything in it other than an accuracy IO -- usually it's not even on my tray.

4). Absorb pain and heal other for a character that's primarily running with one other person? Typically, I'm not a fan of absorb pain (understatement of the millenia). I have, however, recently seen a number of empaths (intelligent ones which I respect) skip heal other in favor of absorb pain, as taking both when the intent of the character is to stick with 2 or 3 person teams is just kind of overkill. If you were take take one and not the other, you'd free up a space for another attack.

5). Vengeance, in this build, seems like something you will almost never use, and when you do, it'll only be affecting you. Personally, I would skip it unless you're paired with a blaster, in which case you'll be using it often because they always find the most creative ways to die.

6). It almost looks like you've gone overboard trying to ensure your safety and the safety of your partner with this. You've got heals out the wazoo, and your end managing powers are...plentiful. With conserve power, adrenalin boost, fully slotted stamina, and recovery aura, neither you or your partner will ever be staminaless. That said, you could probably drop conserve power and still have the same effect. Personally, psychic mastery and dark mastery are pools that I find inherently superior to power mastery, simply because they offer safety in ways that you don't already have. If you're a theme-fiend like I am, I'd go with psychic mastery, and the shield in that set is oh so glorious if you're up against Carnies, Rikti, and Lost. Dark mastery, on the other hand, is fun because you get to be more aggressive.

I do like that you haven't overly neglected your secondary. Psychic scream and psionic tornado are both favorites of mine, and they really contribute when you make liberal use of them. I would find ways to get the more heavy hitting single target attacks, though.


Talen_Lee: Taking absorb pain is like branding 'H' on your forehead. Which stands for 'Failure'

Scarf_Girl: ever since I six slotted my Rp with cyber/emo Hami-O enhancements they haven't been able to touch me

Are you guys going to be just the two of you usually, or do you plan to be on large teams mostly? The power choices you made should work fine on a team of eight, but if you're duoing then you'll want telekinetic blast and will domination. Anyway, I just left your powers as they were for now.

I think you'll be solid then. The area attacks are the most important on a big team, and you have both of those taken and slotted.
