Slotting Drain Psyche
I have a full set of Efficacy Adaptor in mine (I'm a recharge junkie) and if I use it before a nuke then I can just carry on blasting afterwards, sometimes without any toggles dropping.

I'd slot it for Regen instead.
It will hard cap your recovery with 8 targets unslotted for end mod, but doesn't do quite as well on regen.

My current preferred slotting for Drain Psyche is:
Touch of the Nictus: Heal
Touch of the Nictus: Heal/Acc
Touch of the Nictus: Heal/Recharge
Efficacy Adaptor: Endmod/Acc/Recharge
Efficacy Adaptor: Endmod/Recharge
Performance Shifter: Endmod/Recharge
This gives me:
48% Accuracy
74% Endmod
92% Heal
95% Recharge
Along with +3% HP and +9% Accuracy from set bonuses.

For extra recharge, I do a 5-slot doctored wounds with the sixth being an accuracy IO.

I would use this for a end game build. Leveling up you can frankenslot it with a variety of sets. Slotting for Regen also enhances the -regen component of the power, making it the biggest -regen buff available, I think.

Drain Psyche is nowhere near the best regen debuff available, though. Slotted fully with heal enhancements, DP's debuff becomes competitive with powers like Lingering Radiation (500% regen debuff), though of course Lingering Radiation is easier to make permanent (requiring less global recharge), and doesn't require a squishy character to close to melee range to use it.
On Dominators, Drain Psyche is significantly more powerful than it is on Blasters (100% base regen per target versus 75%, 500% base regen debuff per target versus 250%, IIRC). For Doms, then, DP can become one of the better regen debuffs in the entire game, but again -- there are still practical considerations that may make the debuff less useful than support-AT analogues.
In any case, Drain Psyche is a great power to have in your back pocket. And yeah, unless you're trying to circumvent a nuke's crash, slotting for endmod is inferior to slotting for heal. As a Blaster, you want every extra bit of survivability you can get. If you use DP regularly and against more than one target, the endurance will take care of itself.
3 Parts Touch of the Nictus:
(Acc/Heal, Acc/End/Heal, Acc/End/Rech)
3 parts Numina's Convalescence:
(Heal/Rech, Heal/End/Rech, Heal)
Typically, I can cap my Recovery without enhancing EndMod at all

--The Question, JLU
Wonder how other MM blasters slot this power, seems like it got potential for a lot of different styles of slotting.
