Okay, so Mental Blast<\/strong> from the Psionic Mastery epic pool is a real bust – lowish damage, very slow (3 sec) activation.
\nSo I’m looking for a replacement power. I noticed this evening that I have a respec, so …
\nTop choices:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flash<\/strong>: I don’t have any AoE spell (beyond pets), so this might be handy, just as another tool on the belt. It’s a low-level Illusion Control power, an PAoE blind.\n
  2. Superior Invisibility<\/strong>: On the one hand, not really necessary given that I have Group Invis. On the other hand, being a toggle instead of a click, it would allow me to do the Invis thing indefinitely. That might be nice.\n
  3. Regenerative Aura<\/strong>: Nobody turns down Regen Aura on the team. I’d rather do something more aggressive than add another Empathy power, but, it’s a very nice Empathy power, doing an AoE health recovery boost for 60 seconds. Wouldn’t be able to fully slot it, though, so 8 minute recharge or 37.5 Endurance cost would stay highish.\n
  4. Vengeance<\/strong>: I had this planned at one point, then dropped it. Add DMG, ACC, DEF to a team (AoE) if someone on it dies. Might be cool to have, though only as a team player, less useful as a duo …<\/ol>\n

    Other powers in the pools I don’t have are Absorb Pain <\/strong>(I’m usually the one low on HP, thanksverymuch) and Clear Mind <\/strong>(definitely not something I need with Amorpha). Also Health <\/strong>(I’m an Empath), Hover\/Group Fly <\/strong>(yawn), Flurry <\/strong>(I have Air Superiority), Super Speed <\/strong>(hmmmm), and Maneuvers <\/strong>(which is so tiny an increment these days, from my understanding, that it’s not really worth it). Oh, and Psionic Tornado <\/strong>(definitely not in keeping with the character).
    \nThoughts? I’m leaning still toward Flash, but I can see how Vengeance might be situationally handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
