I need some great advice again

peripeteia

Okay, from the last advice I got, I realized that all my builds need sorting. I might turn into a one a week poster until I have got the jist generally.

This character is way way worse in game than what I am posting now, this post is more a less embarrassing build.

Any help will be graciously received.

Thank you in advance.

That build doesn't look too bad overall, at least, though I prob would tweak a few things and change a few powers. Master of the Mind will put all ADs and AOs on cd, so I'd prob pass it up for something else (maybe just get Resurgence for the AD, and keep Ego Surge w/ NM). I also don't think you really need EBB here. I may also just forgo the special adv on TK Shield and get a normal rank of it. You'll also prob want to max Deadly Aim in Dex PSS. Here's an example edit of the build:

Ego Blade Pandemonium can be a good choice here too, if you have it.

Should be pretty tanky for a dps unit. Although Siphoning Strikes can be very good for self-heals, it will lower the combo's dps quite a bit, so it's up to you what to prioritize (similar story w/ EBF and its adv vs. normal ranks). Regardless, it alternates between EWeaponry and charged EBA for single-target dps, and can use EBF (and TK Maelstrom/Eruption) for farming trash. In Brawler spec, Flanking (instead of Finishing Blow) can also be a good option to take, provided you have tanks holding aggro for you to stay behind mobs. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.

Thanks again. I have tried and tested it, the heals are also very good as kbs put me at range unable to siphon a heal in melee. I am tempted for a self res now, the eruption seems unwanted on teams. What's the best res?

I don't look to flank, a tank could be positioned in a way that flanking has my back to more mobs and then I am just waiting to fly into them. I like to be where I want as I am cursed with such luck.

Is there a way to get kb proof without hammering up strength?

You can tap TK Eruption if you don't want to scatter KB mobs w/ it, and still proc the self-heal and Aegis advs- assuming you want to keep that power around. The ID Surge buff from TK Eruption takes a 1-sec charge at least, iirc, but if you have problems hitting that 1-sec mark consistently, then it's fine to just tap it against trash. You don't really need that buff for regular mobs anyways, and could just save it for bosses (who are usually knock-immune).

Also, I assume that you meant what's the best self-res power? Well.. any of them are fine, though you prob want to avoid Rebirth as a dps'er, since it'll be harder to heal it's self-dmg w/ no_low healing bonuses.
