I'm trying to make a true telepath with this ultimate included.
Can anybody fill me in on its pve/pvp uses and optimal setup?

    Best used along side someone with high DPS. Gear for high Ego as the Rank 3 of this power can spread up to 6x your Ego stat to the targets. I've managed to, with a friend that has stupid high DPS, take out every single training dummy in the PH (non-regeneratiting, obviously) before I finished a single maintain.

    If you're going for solo-ish then I recommend high damaging DoT abilities and good survivability. Can't help you in regards to PvP.

    Bonus; you're mobile while using this ability.

    Thanks for the quick reply. My main concern is the cost of the skill, it eats away at my energy but I'm still farming my heroic gear and I'm pretty low on mods too. Here's the current build: http://powerhouse.nullware.com/powerhouse.html?v=11&n=&d=1534gWXQPUT61b3J000J503FL03FB00FA00M503FE05F708F10DFH05EI04JE009Q03DM000tFV0ca10nGQ

    If you're going to sleep mobs then I would recommend putting Ego Sprites in the build somewhere. It won't break the sleep (Mind Link will) and you will get energy return from them being slept and after they wake up from damage (they will be disoriented and taking damage from Ego Sprites).

    So the power synergy goes:

    Mind Link -> Mind Break + The 3 DOT moves
    Ego Sleep -> Sprites + something?

    You could go Sleep -> All TP DoT -> Mind Link. Would make short work of things as well as keeping a flow of energy (the return would get lower as the enemies drop)

    I, personally, don't use Mind Break because I like the debuffs the newer TP DoT powers apply after they expire.

    Anyway, I'm undecided as ever, going to bide my time on this build as usual and ask flowc for his experiences too. Thanks, cyrone

    How important is a dmg-while-sleeping aspect to ur build? Most would just use Ego Sleep for TP Reverb, to proc spec-related debuffs, and/or for a quick Fear for Spirit Reverb. Although it can be fun for solo, I wouldn't really bother w/ the sleep+DoT interaction in groups as its too easy to break via other players or sources of dmg.

    Problem w/ TP atm is that ya kinda have too many diff interactions ya could go with, and ya can't really fit them all into one FF build. Ya have to pick and choose what ones ya want the most.

    If ur sticking to Ego PSS and Mind Link, I'd get Force of Will over Mental Endurance- the extra Defense is nice, and ur not using much Rec anyways w/ that setup. Could also swap Int SS w/ Pres SS for more control and heal/support power, and more return from TP Reverb, though that will increase ur cd timers a bit. Although I can see it working, I'm unsure about Avenger w/ a TP build. Guardicator does well (as always), or try Sentinel if ya can roll Wither (+ possibly get Sent Mastery), or Overseer if ya can roll Trapped.

    Mental Storm is the dps giant in the room that ya could consider, should ya want more of that.

    How well do you think this would work alongside mental storm and flashfire?

    Well flashfire is fire damage obviously so mental storm doesn't do a lot for it. Also I don't have my heroics on her yet.

    Not even close to the point. Note the mechanics of Mind Link and try again.

    This is uncalled for. Don't ever complain about how others treat you in game or on these forums again, okay?

    It's okay, he's like my very angry little brother. :)
    And he's trying to give a good build suggestion, please forgive his snark.

    Flashfire doesn't fit Psignal's concept though, but thanks for the tip. I'm fine with the previously posted build, in fact cyrone's suggestion for the dots was groundbreaking and with Mind Break my dps is pretty convincing. Still waiting to gather the necessary gear. Darn hard to find a cooldown+ego or int secondary :(

    Its a nice build for a hybrid dps using the TP DoTs, though it will play a good bit differently then ur original one using TP Reverb, MO, and Ego Storm. Avenger is less worth it when only Mind Link is proc-ing Relentless Assault, though.

    It should be good when I get its cd below 15s
