Need help with a Psionic DPS/Support Hybrid

in Builds and Roles
I am trying desperately to create a sort of dps/support character out of the mentalist framework. I am not interested in doing alot of direct healing, I much prefer my support come in the form of controls and/or debuffs. But I also want to be able to do enough dps that I can solo missions without it taking me forever. Think of this as a jack of all trades, master of none type character. One that sort of helps fill in the gaps. The order of the powers I chose mean absolutely nothing, they were just the ones I was toying with to get an idea. The only powers I know for certain I would like to keep are empathic healing for my heals and mindful reinforcement for my shield. Not sure whether to go with the telepathy attack powers (either the DOTs or straight up attacks) or the telekinetic attacks. Any help would be appreciated. Oh and originally I did try using 2 passives (1 support and 1 dps) but I found it was rather irritating constantly switching roles with the passives. That's why I was messing with Seraphim since it seemed to be kind of a hybrid support passive. Would much prefer to build around 1 passive rather than 2.

    Yea, Seraphim can work if you want to swap between Hybrid for more dps and Support for more healing. You could consider other aura passives like AoPM. As for powers- I'd prob stick w/ TK atm cause its powerset was revamped and is generally stronger than TP. TP does have some decent debuffs and CC available, though.

    You'd also want a toggle/form and prob an energy unlock in your final build. An example for a hybrid dps w/ some support:

    More dps oriented w/ Mental Precision as the toggle. Gears mostly for Dex, though you can also find use from Con (maxHP), Pres (better healing), and Rec (TK Reverb). TK Barrage can AoE and stun, and Ego Sleep can put up debuffs.

    I had been looking into AoPM as a possible passive. If I switched seraphim for AoPM would it be better to use INT Pri and maybe switch mental precision for concentration?

    Yea, AoPM still works pretty well w/ Int PSS. Just keep in mind that AoPM is a very popular passive for supports, and a weak hybrid version of its aura buff can be disruptive in content w/ large ally groups. Pres PSS is still better for support/healing (and for Vuln + Ego Sleep), but Int PSS does have Enlightened, Battle of Wits, Expertise, and DVuln.
