I am currently working on levelling up my mind/psy dom. Since this is my first attempt at a dom, I am curious what you guys would suggest buildwise.

Anyone willing to tackle it?

I've got my personal builds lying around somewhere on the forums. Not sure if it's on the laptop I'm using currently, though.

Are you looking for a leveling build or an endgame build?

Any particular powers you absolutely want/don't want?

Any particular goals for the build? Defense/Recharge?

Honestly, I am starting this Dom as my first ever. I think an End-Game Dom would be nice. As far as power preferences, I hardly know wnough about them.

Here's my current Mind/Psi. He's build for lots of recharge to get Drain Psyche perma.

Feel free to ask questions

It's been a while since I've played him, but typically I'll have Domination up.

Open with MH. Confuse any problem mobs - usually bosses and pesky things like Sappers.
Jump in middle of spawn and use DP.
Jump back and use Terrify/Psi Scream
Jump back in spawn for PSW.
Jump out again for another Psi Scream.
Clean up with ST attacks.

This works on teams, too. You just have to stay ahead of your team.

If it's a particularly hard mob you can use TD or MC before your first Terrify.

Also, you can get away with slotting Terrify for damage. I still need to do this, myself.

I originally built this Dom to sleep the FP on the LRSF and it does this very well. Sleep the group and then go debuff whichever the team's fighting with DP and Sleet in between sleeps.

I haven't done it extensively, but it can solo AVs pretty well. They never have any regen (unless DP misses) and then you add -res on top of that. However, it takes some time to set up with Confuse. Once they're confused you just Confuse>MP>Subdue and when you debuff you Confuse>DP>Confuse>Sleet and resume the attack chain.
