Darkness/TK mix possible?

Hello, I had an idea for the ultimate nightmare child turned hero. Imagine "The Omen," but using his dark gift for the better good. Would any of the mind powers mix well with darkness for a good DPS build? Here are some powers that looked cool to try with the build:

Well, the build currently lacks a slotted passive and a spam-able AoE, so I'd prob fix those first. I'm also unclear if you meant Mentalist when you put "TK" in the title (since the partial build has a TP power, and the 'Mind' AT is associated more w/ TP than TK), but I will assume either TK or TP powers will do. Here's an example edit of it:

The last 3-4 powers can be w/e ya want. Some other Mentalist powers that could be good are TK Maelstrom, Ego Storm, Mental Impact, TK Wave (w/ pull-in adv), TK Shards (w/ heal adv), Mental Storm, Mind Drain (w/ Mental Leech), Collective Will, and/or Mind Wipe. Other Darkness powers could also be good (like Lifedrain, Soul Vortex, Summon Shadows, etc.) but I figured you'd want more Mentalist stuff in there. You could also use Shadow Form or NW as the dps passive instead here.

For single-targets, charged SBlast can initially put up Devoid and Fear, while DCollapse should be used to refresh both debuffs (and help proc SReverb), and your main attack otherwise is ERuin. SEmbrace can be the main AoE here (though other AoEs like DCollapse can also be used). The Mentalist powers can be thrown in depending on what you pick and their general use (you could even replace SEmbrace w/ TK Burst or TK Barrage as the main AoE, as long as DCollapse is still used for SReverb). Gears mostly for Ego, w/ some Rec and Con.

Yeah, I'm not as familiar with mentalist powers to really say the difference. My list was merely something to have an idea of what I was looking for, not necessarily what I need the character to have. Definitely excited to try your build!

Got it. You can also experiment around w/ any other TK or TP powers that you may want to add, but regardless I hope you like the build 8)
