R-E-S-P-E-C, see?

With the Psi-clone Dings 50 party hurtling towards us (i.e., tonight), I’ve been thinking about his build, and actually went so far on Friday as to respec him with my last respec (no freespecs left — had to travel to Galaxy to make it happen, how quaint). I’ve been seriously unhappy with Mental Blast at 50 (slow, low damage), so I took that out. I was toying whether to go with Flash (which is, what, a 3rd Level Illusionist Power?) or Regeneration Aura (favorite of teams, which PC does less of than most).
In the end, I decided to go with the supportive RA rather than the aggro-drawing Flash, esp. with recollections of the Group Hold nerfs an issue or two back.
During Saturday’s Firefly game, though, Doyce critiqued my not having taken Psionic Tornado. I’d felt that was far too aggressive/TK a power for Psi-clone’s character concept (essentially a really powerful Empath), and he noted, quite rightly, that the man’s name is Psi-clone (“cyclone”) and to not have the power was (not his words) goofy.
Whcih had a certain merit to it, especially since if PT is unleashed after Flash has held most of the group, I get “sick” containment bonus damage, too.
So, what the heck, fine, I’ll give it a try. Except, of course, no respecs, having just burned my last. But it would be great to debut as part of the Ding Party.
*sigh*
So, with Margie’s help, we cobbled together a Respec mish, pulling in some 20s-level characters and doing the Sky Raiders respec (for “free” for most of us). It was … just burning time, really — I can remember being so worried about the mission the first time I ran it, but this time it was mostly grays-blues, with an occasional white or even yellow sky skiff, and a bunch of Really Good People, so it just went by with no problems.
Of course, now I have to decide what to give up for (1) Flash and (2) Psionic Tornado. Actually thinking of not only dropping Regen Aura but Recovery Aura as well — get out of the “gather up” business except for Invis and leave it at that. Esp. to the extent that I run PC mainly with Amorpha (will that still be the case?) neither power is critical.
Other issue is still the pragmatic one — will this gather more aggro (after it wears off) than Amorpha can handle (or, more directly, than I can handle beyond what Amorpha grabs?). We shall see. At any rate, if all goes well, it should be ready for its debut tonight.
