Help w/ Mysterio Homage Build (Illusions & Tech)

in Builds and Roles
I want to try to create a character that uses illusions as well as technology like the Spider-Man villain Mysterio from Marvel. I know that Mysterio has mastery over illusions, has a very high intelligence, and uses various gadgets and technological equipment including hologram projectors, and various hallucinogenic gases. Now I know that the gasses would be a little hard to incorporate which is fine.

I was thinking of a dual passive Support / Ranged DPS.

Here is what I came up with...

Mysterium - Freeform (Any / Multiple)
v3.45:38

Super Stats
Level 6: Intelligence (Primary)
Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
Level 15: Presence (Secondary)

Talents
Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
Level 6: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
Level 9: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
Level 12: Diplomatic (Int: 5, Pre: 5)
Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 18: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
Level 21: Negotiator (Int: 5, Rec: 5)

Powers
Level 1: Psi Lash
Level 1: Ego Sprites (Rank 2, Slave Mentality)
Level 6: Mental Leech (Mental Weakness)
Level 8: Medical Nanites (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 11: Compassion
Level 14: Summon Nightmare (Rank 2, Night Terror)
Level 17: Support Drones (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 20: Molecular Self-Assembly
Level 23: Mental Storm (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
Level 29: Night Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3, Silent Running)
Level 32: Collective Will (Consume Will)
Level 35: Summon Shadows (Rank 2, Devouring Darkness)
Level 38: Ebon Void
Adv. Points: 36/36

Travel Powers
Level 6: Mystic Flight (Rank 2)
Level 35: Frost Bite

Specializations
Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
Intelligence: Battle of Wits (2/3)
Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
Overseer: Administer (1/3)
Overseer: Ruthless (2/2)
Overseer: Impact (2/2)
Overseer: Honor (2/2)
Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
Sentinel: Caregiver (2/3)
Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
Sentinel: Moment of Need (2/3)
Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
Sentinel: Genesis (1/2)
Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)

Devices

I wanted Medical Nanites for support when I'm in Alerts and Night Warrior for when I solo plus I want to become invisible when I need to.

The Support Drones are there because it adds to the tech aspect of the build plus they can trigger Compassion very easily.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

    Well, you lack a normal attack power for yourself, though otherwise the build can work okay (considering the concept). I'd prob replace Collective Will w/ Ego Blast (you already have MStorm's adv as an option for Stress, and Collective Will can't benefit from auras/buffs anyways), and consider getting TP Reverb as the EU instead (can combine w/ Ego Blast's MO adv). I may also opt to use Pres PSS, since pets (and TP DoT dmg) don't benefit from your Detect Vuln (Pres should be your main stat here too). Sentinel Mastery could also be pretty nice when paired w/ MStorm. You could also get Energy Shield as the block, if you want a bit more Tech in there. It could also be nice to have an ally rez and/or normal ally heal in there (depending on the content), but you'd have to make room for it.

    Overall, I wouldn't expect great dmg when playing in the dps role, but it should still be fine for easier content. You could also change your support passive, depending on what you want to prioritize when playing as Support.

    Thanks Flow. If I use Pres as the PSS what specs would be good in the Pres spec tree?

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
    Presence: Grandeur (2/3)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (2/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (1/2)
    Presence: Vulnerability (2/2)

    Vuln can be put up via MStorm, though it won't have as high uptime due to MStorm's cd. It's up to you if you want to keep Vuln, or just put those 2 points back into Moment of Glory, Force of Will, and/or Grandeur.
