Hoping for a Ego Blade dps build with different rotation?

in Builds and Roles
So, I have a toon with the standard rotation. I was hoping, however, to be able to make a doable DPS build that used EGO blades for bosses, but was able to use powers like telekinetic shards, wave, and either/and TK barrage or assault. I was thinking of an anime-style character that could use some ranged attacks, scatters, etc for trash mobs, but could pull out a really BIG, powerful weapon for bosses. And I have NO IDEA how to do it :(

    Most of the ranged TK AoEs can be used just fine in a TK Blades build, since such powers usually still operate around Ego Leech and are Ego-typed dmg. Kinda up to you on what you want to take there, though: TK Burst, TK Wave, TK Barrage, TK Shards, Lance Rain, TK Maelstrom, and/or TK Eruption. I would choose at least one AoE that has no cd (TK Burst or TK Barrage), for trash mobs, but the rest are up for grabs. Here's one example build (out of many different possibilities) that you could use:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Melee Damage)
    v3.44:37

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
    Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
    Level 6: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
    Level 18: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
    Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Kinetic Darts
    Level 1: Ego Weaponry (Rank 2, Stressed Out)
    Level 6: Mental Discipline
    Level 8: Ego Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Telekinetic Reverberation
    Level 14: Telekinetic Wave (Rank 2, Mental Instability)
    Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 20: Telekinetic Barrage (Rank 2, Dazzle)
    Level 23: Ego Blade Annihilation (Rank 2, Mental Acuity)
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Telekinetic Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32:
    Level 35:
    Level 38: Ego Blade Pandemonium (Rank 2)
    Adv. Points: 30/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Combat Training (2/3)
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (3/3)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
    Dexterity: Expose Weakness (2/2)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    The open power slots can be used for w/e ya want (the Ult could be replaced to, if you don't have it or want something else).

    TK Wave can clump up mobs for TK Barrage's tighter AoE. Against single-targets, it just alternates between Ego Weaponry and charged EBA. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Rec and Con (and some cost discount on gear).

    Your basic problem is that forms and roles are always either ranged or melee, so while you can put both on a build you'll only be good at one.
