Elec/Mind

I am going to fire up a new Electric/Mind character this weekend (double XP, WOOT!) as a part of a four character epic story that I came up with. (Yes, I do things like that. ) I thought that the end draining properties of Electric would go very nicely with Drain Psyche.

I noticed, however, that as I was trying to research the build that there are absolutely NO guides on the Electric primary, much less Elec/Mind. I know that (sadly) few guides are being written nowadays, but to have none on a primary powerset?

So, that brings me to this thread. Does anyone out there know of a good guide that has not been stickied? Are there any pitfalls to avoid with these sets / things to make sure you do (power picks, slotting, etc)? It would be especially helpful to hear from someone who has rolled these sets. I appologize if this info is somewhere obvious, but I did not see it.

Thanks in advance for your help and tips!

There are a few threads about elec/psi doms. Should be within the first 5 pages of the forum i think.

While I've helped other build their elec/psi doms, I don't really have actual experience with elec/. I do have a mind/psi dom so I'll focus on the /psi part.

Psi Dart - Early on you'll probably want to slot this and use it as it is somewhat decent while leveling. After you've leveled up a bit you'll want to respec and strip it of its slots as it will become useless for the most part. Slotting an Acc or Rng enhancement into it would be best and you can use this power for pulling.

Mind Probe and TK Thrust - Both are good attacks. If you primarily PvE go with Mind Probe. TK Thrust does better damage in PvP if you're interested in that. It still does good in PvE and gives you some smashing damage to use against robots and it's fun to just put your hand in someone's face to blow them 50ft away from you lol. Very Jedi

Mental Blast - I recommend this only if you're going to be playing exclusively at range if you're going to take Subdue, too.

Psi Scream - This is the first of your 2 AoEs in the set. Definitely worth taking.

Drain Psyche - This is pretty much the reason you go with /psi. Potential to be a huge regen buff/debuff and if you can cram enough recharge into you build, it can be perma. Slot for acc/heal/rech as the base recovery buff/debuff is sufficient.

Subdue - For my Mind/Psi, this power is important because it's my only source of immob. Does the same damage as Mental Blast and since Elec/ has an immob you might be better off with Mental Blast for the -rech.

Psi Lance - If you don't stay villain for the Alignment power that refills the dom bar, this power is good for helping you fill it before starting a fight. It is also good for a cheap 7.5% recharge bonuses from the Manticore sniper set. If you are staying villain for the alignment power, you can either skip it or mule it for the recharge.

Psi Shockwave - The #2 reason you go with /psi. This power is a shadow of its former self, but still great at what it does. Take it and love it.

Thanks Infini for the detailed response! I will certainly keep these things in mind for the /Psi.

I also appreciate the comments Obscure Blade.

Any thoughts on the Elec side of things?
