    If you just want a ranged TK dps build (assuming you mean an FF build and not the Psychokinetic AT), then here's a basic one:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged 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: Telekinetic Strike (Rank 2, Stressed Out)
    Level 6: Mental Precision
    Level 8: Ego Form (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Telekinetic Reverberation
    Level 14: Telekinetic Barrage (Rank 2, Dazzle)
    Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 20: Telekinetic Lance (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Telekinetic Maelstrom (Rank 2, Expansive Intellect)
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Telekinetic Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32: Ego Surge (Nimble Mind)
    Level 35: Mental Impact (Rank 2)
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 32/36

    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)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (3/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    The last 2-3 powers can be w/e ya want.

    Alternates between TK Strike and charged TK Lance for single-target dps, while TK Barrage can be your main AoE attack. TK Maelstrom can provide some extra burst AoE dmg (and an AoE stun), as well as quickly give you Ego Leech stacks in AoE. Also, TK Burst could be taken instead of TK Barrage as the main AoE here (Burst hits in a larger area, but doesn't have Barrage's long range). Regardless, the build gears mostly for Dex (for Mental Precision), w/ some Con and Rec (and some cost discount on gear).

    Thanks again, flowcyto.


    I decided to fill that last empty slot with Summon Nightmare with the night terror advantage.

    If you can unlock Lance Rain from the OSV system that could be your last power.

    As cool as that would be, Lance Rain could take weeks for me to grind...
  • jaazaniah1jaazaniah1 Posts: 5,428 Arc User
    Once I buckled down to unlock it and then had it I was glad I bit the bullet. But I also have 200+ pieces of OSV gear, so what's one more grind ;) ?

    Go with EGO PSS with DEX SS gearing for DEX. Lose burst, choke, telekinesis, and emphatic.

    If you plan on grinding for the Justice set, you could look at reversing the points I put into Follow Through and 6th Sense. If not, I find this spread pays off better vs Cosmics. Antagonize is my shield because Ape lava annoys the F out of me. Eldritch shield is nice too though. TK shield is better for melee than ranged builds. Once you get some ego leech going, your rotation will be fully charged Lance > TK Strike x3. TK Maelstrom is kinda handy to have while levelling but once you have better gear and Mental Impact it's totally optional.

    ^ Yea, that's a good build. Pretty much what I'd expect from a ranged TK dps looking to optimize dmg a bit more.

    Sorry to Nerco this threat, in terms of TK Range and Melee, what whuold be arguably the best one?


    Since I've turned to Melee, I've never been able to go back lol.

    Best for what? They are both quite strong for being either ranged or melee dps. It should largely just come down to the play-style you want for that character (melee vs. ranged), and/or to which is more fitting for the character's concept.

    DPS wise, that what I meant, but thanks.

    I always find Range powers (with the exception of Dual Pistols) to be weak somehow, but that may be down to playstyle, I did have a TK Range building, but I seem to find that TK Burst is a little slow to cast.

    Eh, you seem to have many different characters, so you can always just have at least one dedicated ranged TK build on one character and at least one dedicated melee TK build on another, and just play either of them to your own fancy. They should both be good at their primary role, either way.

    (and you can always switch to TK Barrage if you want a ranged TK AoE alternative; it has a smaller AoE radius, but longer reach and is channeled instead of charged; TK Maelstrom is also a good AoE for either setup, but is on a cd)
