Devices

(I know the Talents and the specs need to be changed asap)
I want to make a Melee/Ranged DPS build, following the Telekinesis powerset.
What would you suggest I should change?
I mainly want to swap the SS, Talents, Specs and maybe some advantages, but any suggestions on powers is certainly appreciated.

It's mostly a TK Blades build, but w/ a long-ranged option in TK Barrage- which is fine. I may get R2 in TK Barrage, then (or you could consider the Dependency adv). Although the Siphoning Strikes adv can provide much self-healing, it does cut the dps of Ego Weaponry by a good amount (most of your single-target dmg will come from EBA, though). Also, I'd prob skip the 3-pt adv on the block, and just get R2 in it instead. I may also get the Stress adv on Ego Weaponry, and get the Nimble Mind adv on Ego Surge (you can take a rank from Teleportation if you need to free up an adv point).

Ego Blade Pandemonium is also a good pick, but perhaps you don't have that power unlocked yet. Ego PSS can work (Dex is still your main stat here, due to Mental Discipline, and thus you'd want 3/3 in Sixth Sense with Ego PSS), but I may consider a DEX/Rec/Con SS setup, if you want a bit more health to work with (the innate Ego scaling by itself doesn't amount to much for a dps build). You could also consider getting Upper Hand or Slaughter in Warden spec (instead of Elusive), or switch to Brawler spec w/ Setup and Penetrating Strikes. Getting some cost discount on gear can also help w/ the build overall (Insight would only work w/ ranged powers).
