For single-targets, you can tap EBB 3x to get its debuff initially up, use the basic combo to build ELeech stacks, and charge EBA at 5 stacks. After that, you can settle into tapping EBB after every EBA to refresh its debuff, combo till 5x stacks, EBA, repeat. I threw in Mental Storm cause taps of it can buildup another Ego dmg debuff that stacks w/ EBB's (alternative is to use Collective Will w/ its special adv- gives the same debuff)- or you could replace that w/ Ego Surge w/ NM as a burst dps cd. TK Burst gives you a larger AoE option w/ more reach and some CC. Gears mostly for Dex (for FotT and crit) and Con, w/ a bit of Ego for Ego Reverb.

Thanks for the help I think that the build has an interesting way to apply the ego blades sinergies, the only thing I could see is that it's fully offensive and I'll need to add something to increase it's defenses a bit, but it's a good one, thanks flowcyto!
