Well hello all, after leveling my mind/nrg up and finishing up on the IO's... figured I'd come to the pro's for a few tips on some build questions. As of now I have all of the Io's cept 2 ragnaroks and was about to do a respec to move things around... but was wondering about power bolt.
The way it is slotted it has more damage per activation time than power blast would similiarly slotted... so thinking with dominate for some extra damage I can get away without power blast (uber recharge perma dom without hasten at 33rd level) and still have a smooth attack chain.. but is this the best DPS I can pull off? The thing that makes me worry most is power bolt for some reason is mostly smashing damage with a smidge of energy as opposed to the 50/50 or better rate all the other nrg attacks have. Is relying on it going to hurt me against high resist mobs?
Will having all my my attacks have an average 163 or higher damage per activation second allow me to solo AV's? Really not sure which is the best way to look at power damage but assuming turning on arcana time in mids and going by dpas is the best?
And don't knock the phase shift... working my way into it even with pheonix cause while The char is already a walking monster of destruction there have been times I get in over my head and wish I had already put phase shift in (never used the power.. just seems like it would help A LOT!)
If it doesn't show up going musculature alpha and thinking of doing the defense destiny and switching between reactive and the -to hit interfaces.
