Returning player.. Elec/Psi help

Just coming back to the game after.. according to my characters, a 960 day absence. popped back in I13 for a couple days, but.. all the architect farming groups just madem e facepalm and quit again immediately.. now, thanks to steam and it's rediculously cheap GR sale, i'm back again, and loving it -- new teaming system is shiny.

Anyhow, my 'project' before I departed was a Mind/Psi dom, sits at 44. I'm wierd in that I have a hard time picking up the mindset of a character after even a few months gone -- let alone the years it's been, so I rerolled an elec/psi, and -loving- it so far.. just uh.. a little lost

First of all.. Slotting (as in.. where to drop my slots). Mind/psi was easy.. but I'm used to leveling scrappers, so.. i'm beyond lost on how to slot.. a build, or some advice would be wonderful

Second of all... how useful is Jolting chain? I mean, i'm getting a lot of use out of it at low levels (11 atm), but it seems like something that would fall out of use later -- I have a few respecs, so don't mind dropping it at 22 or something

Third.. Gremlins. Looking around some people hate them, some people love them -- as someone who primarily groups.. worth it? not worth it?

Lastly.. Tips? I mean everything looks worth taking at this point (Only things out of both sets i'm skipping is looking to be telekinetic thrust, mindblast, and electric fence, heh), but i'm sure somethings are just.. deceptively bad.

Thanks in advance.

I will try to help as best as I can for this.

From what I have been told about Jolting chain it is very useful, since it is nice soft-control knowback which not a lot of NPCs have resists to. If someone could confirm/correct me that could help.

Gremlins, for teaming they should help. I do not mind the extra damage that they do give out and will help on solo work if you do it. To me they are like the other pets Doms get.

Also for slotting/tips here is a build I slapped together I am planning on doing it could help you get an idea on what you might want to do:

I can't really comment on the /Psi part, but I will give my opinion on Elec. I've got an Elec/Earth dom at lvl 38 or so and as far as jolting chain goes, I think I dropped it around lvl 30. I may respec back into it later, but there seem to be better things that I could do than a chain knockdown with pitiful damage. Also, I always get a little irritated when the small tick of damage kills an enemy and breaks the chain. I think I'm going to pick it back up later and try it with some procs. (namely the devastation chance to hold proc; seems like it might be useful)

For my dom, I've slotted the ST hold with Basilisk's gaze for recharge, the aoe immob and conductive aura with efficacy adapter for end mod. Slot synaptic overload like any other no aggro confuse. IMO, Static field should be slotted for recharge first and sleep second. I'm not really sure what I'll end up with here, but right now I think i have 3 recharge and one sleep.

Finally, the gremlins are very disappointing (IMO). You should definitely try them out, but on teams, I find they are dead within the first 3 groups. I just seem to be constantly recasting them. Solo, they are ok, but still not great since they break the sleep of static field frequently. I still haven't decided if they will end up in my final build or not.

Electric/Psi is one of the combo's I plan to make some day. Heres my thoughts on it.

Jolting Chain. Give it a try procced out and by procced out I mean damage procs not 15% for 2 mag hold procs. You can get some rather good ones since it takes single target sets and knockdown sets. If you don't like it Procced out then definately drop it.

Static Field is not another crappy sleep power that you will never use. It pulses a sleep every few seconds so its quite good for mitigation. Also when it pulses it has a chance to drain end from the enemies. For every enemy drained it restores some end to all friendies inside Static Field. Plus its a cheap purple set so you can get closer to perma Drain Pysche easier.

From a control perspective Conductive Aura is your best power. It will drain enemies dry quickly and once they are drained they can generally only use thier brawl equivalent power and even then not always when they get an end tick. End drain is crazy good.

Gremlins I personally don't like on a Dominator. Controller I'd use them but not on a Dom. Dom just doesn't really need them.

Drain Psyche is the reason I believe Electric/Psi dominator is the best endurance sapper in the game. Electric Control is the best set for draining mass amounts of endurance easily. However it lacks in a relyable recovery debuff. Drain Psyche has a 500% recovery debuff in it that lasts for 30 seconds and is possible to perma. Kapow! All your end are belong to us! Mwa ha ha ha ha!

This combination also has a lot of options for getting extremely good recharge. Sleep, Hold and Confuse have relatively cheap purple sets. Plus you still have options for Ranged, Melee, Targeted AoE and PBAoE for additional purples if you can afford it. Drain Psyche is easy to get the recharge low on with this Dominator.

First to answer your questions:

I currently have jolting chain in my build, though only with 1 acc in it. I don't use it a lot, as it's not good enough to spam all the time (seeing it's constantly recharged). It is still useful solo though and for special occasions.

If I had the slots I'd proc it out. The good thing about is that it has a chance to proc on each hit. I think it's specially good for things like heal proc, hold proc and STUN proc.

Gremlins:
I have the gremlins and I feel them do as much as any other control pet. They die fairly easy but can help with the dps. In teams they are not as useful for me, but I definitely do not regret having them. When I occasionly play solo they are very useful to take alphas and whatnot.

I have an Elec/Psi/Fire Dom at 49 currently. Fully IO-slotted and only missing the purple sleep and confuse sets from the build. When finished he'll have perma-hasten and he's tremendously fun to play.

Som motivations on power picks:

I use Subdue, Psi Dart and Mind probe as my ST- attacks. Subdue and Mental blast for domis are the exact same in values. The only difference is that mental blast does -recharge on the target whilst Subdue adds MAG 3 immobilize. I felt subdue > mental blast in order to stack immobilize on AV's and because I've played a fortunata a lot where Mental Blast is really bad and Subdue really good.

Psi Dart... well I need to take it, nothing special with the power really.

Mind Probe - really great melee attack. I skipped Telekinetic thrust because of its activation time and the fact that I don't really need anymore attacks with my recharge rates. Psy scream was skipped for the same reason and also because I just don't like it.

Some people would argue with that I picked the /fire epic, because it ruins Static Field. The thing is, in teams, adding Rain of Fire and Fire Ball do your AoE carnage, together with Psy Shockwave is just plain awesome. Your AoE damage output is crazy good. In teams, except for on some AV fights or specific pulls I never use Static Field. There is just no time. (VERY useful solo though and as a set mule so do not drop it! )

Well, I really like the toon and it was a fun ride to play it. Here is my build for perma-hasten, perma domi and close to perma DP.

I know this post is rather blurry, hope you'll get something out of it!

Thanks for hte replies -- 22 now, going to respec out of ss, drop jolting chain (20 levels of it and.. eh... i'll probably pick it up later hwne I can afford to put procs in it) and fix my slotting

Which leads me to the next question: How to slot? at low levels should I focus on attacks? controls? what? My mind/psi was pre-revamp, so psi was pitiful damage until 38 nayhow, my mind control WAS my main source of damage, so.. that was a no-brainer >_> bit different now.

I made my Elec/Psi Dominator when GR came out and I'm loving it.

I have Jolting Chains in my current build. It's unslotted, just a Devastation Hold Proc in it, and for me, that's enough.

Gremlins are ok. I rarely use them on teams, usually only bring them out for bosses. Solo, the extra dmg helps, except they tend to go off on their own, die, and leave me having to deal with 2 groups.

This is my current build. It's perma-hasten, perma-dom, almost perma-Drain Psyche (currently alpha slotted with tier 2 Spiritual, so it is Perma online.)

That's actually similar to the build i'm looking at but.. I want fly, not SS as a travel power (concept thing, silly rp'r, heh).. was thinking of dropping hasten into my level 6 slot and getting hover where hasten/ss are.. but that leaves me down one LotG... then again it'll be an exceedingly long time before I can even AFFORD that, so.. I guess it's not TOO much of a net loss. mrrh.

I'm sure I can find a way to make it work, just have to poke it a bit.

Had a friend assist with the build..

Respec build for 50 -- just curious, thoughts/comments? also, uh, any suggestions for the alpha slot?

I started one of these last night in Praetoria. Hadn't read about Jolting Chain and was a bit unimpressed at first. Being able to lead with KB on a closely packed group is interesting.

The thing I hate most is that if you miss the first hit check, the whole thing fizzles out. That might be a deal breaker.

I played one up to like 41 in beta. I rolled one when it went live. During beta, mine was slotted with SOs but with IOs and global recharge, i have no doubts that will be an awesome toon. I have just too busy to play level mine much lately.

I personally enjoyed the elec/psi, it is a good combo overall. During beta, it was going to be my next spawn lawn mower, but it got tweak a bit...then alot...lol. Damage wasn't that great on elec, but elec/psi couple with fire epic(when are they going to nerf fire epic..or better balance the epics) it should be a little monster.

One thing about it, it has pbaoe in the design, but its kinda hard to balance pbaoe and the range. So its not all pbaoe or all melee or all ranged, that gets a bit tricky when you are used a toon that focuses on one aspect like that.

Elec seemed like soft control, more than anything else. It was very busy to keep soft control going using the sleep/jc (the kd works well) and the confuse. The gremilins use jc too, so you can keep things flopping, or slept and can sometimes accidentially aggro others as they can aggressive. Overall, that sleep is darn useful. It really is, since its ranged and can be positioned. Don't forget the chain confuse as that can be used at range with the sleep (NICE!). One of the truely nice things about all that soft control, is you can use the range on it, to mitigate incoming or inadvertent aggro from the gremlins. Also, you can pull a spawn, but set a sleep point to drop the numbers of incoming, then use the versatilty of melee/range to pick off the spawn.

The cycling the sleep/confuse/kd can really mitigate a whole lot of damage. Alot of powerful sets, seem anemic during their early levels (up to when you can get things slotted in the late 30s and low 40s) then the toon SHINES!

Psi is solid. I keep trying to make another dom with a different set, but just can't. I use all my psi attacks, rarely use the snipe (but get it for the 7.5 recharge set). I just used the snipe for example when unlocking my alpha slot on the fire/psi, to kill all those portals and pull pull all those spawns while leaving the EBs and stuff alone. Snipes have thier uses tho. I try to take two or three ranged and then both st melee powers, if you kb one with tk thrust, then just kill with a ranged while using psw/tk/mp for the melees. I think psi is one of the most solid sets for versatilty out there.

Versatily is there, sleep, confuse, kd AND range/melee with pboa with nice regen/recovery. Once you get into the late 30s and low 40s, with slots, some IOs for recharge, i think you will be quite happy with that toon.
