Dark/Psi disappointment?

I rolled a dark/psi fender a long time ago because i really liked my concept and the synergies between the sets, ive also ALWAYS loved dark/

But its been stuck at 38 for a while now because i just lost interest... because i felt so underpowered...

1-38 was a blast, i felt like a tank, and my damage was almost never resisted. Now im squishy and cant put out damage to save my life... maybe im playing it wrong?

I know darks good, but should i stop /psi? Maybe roll a /ice? /ice seems to be the better version of /psi.

I also really wanted to try a dark/son but im still an trying to have hope for this guy.

erm... help? thoughts? ideas?

Dark/Psi was the first character that I took seriously when I started playing. Got him to level 40 or so, and experienced the same thing that you did. I never got him to level 50.

I'm sure the combination has its merits and is likely viable once you're 50 and IO'd out. Dark is a strong primary that plays more like a blaster/controller and less like a defender.

I enjoyed other characters I played later more than my Dark/Psi, though. I think if you're looking to start something new now is the perfect time (double XP). You might also consider a corruptor.

Dumb question, but I have to ask it. Did you replace your SOs at level 37?

You get a lot of Psi resistant mobs around this time. Just hang in there, rely on Tar Patch to help you do damage, and get on teams.

You can find me on Infinity, Exalted, Liberty and sometimes on Virtue or Freedom

Even if psy wins when soloing, once you factor in teammates /sonic wins.
