I don't know....something must have changed since open beta.

I am not controlling crows or able to get any type of consistent damage...sometimes I take down stuff quick and sometimes I'm in afight to the finish with a villain a level below me. Just seems like some numbers changed.

I'm only level 12 at this point...went telepathy with empathic healing, ego sprites, psy blast, ego blast and mind lock....this is a little different from my Open beta build as I had a summon....

I have not seen any Telepathy guides so any help would be appreciated.....

just a little bump? this thread never stood a chance :(

The only thing I can suggest is to make sure the class (henchmen, villain, etc) of your enemy isn't throwing you off. A villain two levels lower is harder than a henchmen your same level.

yeah...I just need to plan my fights better.....I'm just very disappointed in the holds...definitely need to spec some stuff out and probably should have ranked up some other stuff as opposed to ego sprites....I'll keep tinkering....

I found telepathy to be a little weak. Dont know what else to say.

Is Ego one of your super stats? It determines the strength of your holds. Atleast it should.

Of course, Mind Lock is perhaps considered a debuff, in which case Presence is supposedly the stat that effects its strength/duration/whatever.

yep...I've been building up ego and presence....something may have been tweeked from OB...I think I should have buffed up ego blast more...it seemed to be far stronger in OB....I just need to rank 3 my ego blast and see how much more it hits for...

Im going in a group of mobs 2 levels above, drop my ae, drop a ward, drop a heal, refresh my ae, get healed by my first ae, rince/repeat.

not difficult.

<also, im rolling on sentinel stance, so dps is low but both ae's manage to keep me up and take the villains down...

Interesting. I may try it again.

What really takes mobs down for me and can burn villains with the first aoe, is ego-storm. IF you pair this with shadow form it pretty much melts villains before ego-storm ends.
Although you need lvl 14 for it, so 17 for shadow form, i'd pretty much recommend it since it's the bread and butter of PvE (and PvP)
