THE MAX SKILLS
Energy Pulse: Ironically enough this is now our 2nd best skill for single targets. Still max it as it is the best basic.

Searing Shot: If you have AMA+Gungnir and Cosmic Boots with +5 Searing.

Vigilant Aura: We max this to make our party's life easier in Cosmics, X-Defense, and soon to be raids. High ranks can yield over 1k defense rating and over 33% projectile deflect.

Vortex Grenade: Now our worst AoE DoT, but still gets taken for supplemental damage.

Psychokinetic Barrier: 3rd best DoT in addition to projectile deflect. Great damage and utility.

Psychic Haze: Our 2nd best DoT as far as damage is concerned.

Telekinetic Mastery: Pretty meaty damage buff to Haze/Barrier and gives us nice dodge for Cosmics. At rank 31 this passive provides me with a flat 20% dodge.

THE 1 POINTERS
Quick Bodyslide: 1 pointer for the long Teleport range.

Mental Resilience: A few seconds of CC immunity. That's it.

Eye for Weakness: 10% vuln and 10% weaken. That's it.

WHERE TO PLACE THE BONUS POINTS FROM HEROIC AND SUPER HEROIC?
Techno Organic: Some life regen and a nice buff when you dip under 30%.

GEAR
Slot 1: Hyper Viper Beam. No contest. Triple damage rating rolls, attack speed, proc, and +6 Soldier.

Slot 1: Anti Metal Ammo: For heavy crit/crit damage builds, but requires significantly more specific itemization.

Slot 2: Askani'son Bodysuit: Capable of hitting 4k health, +2 all, and +4 Tact. Extremely defensive unique due to a possible +6 Vigilant roll.

Slot 3: Ideally a cosmic with +health +defense, +duration, -Psion cost, and +spirit. Forge is bootysweat.

Slot 4: Tasker's Treads. +8 EP, Vortex, and Eye along with Health, movespeed, and brutal. Pretty underwhelming atm, would take a cosmic with health, EP, Haze, and Vigilant over these.

Slot 4: Cosmic Boots with +Searing, +Haze, +Vigilant and Health for AMA build.

Slot 5: TO Inhib. Mental damage, +psion, and all of is other juicy affixes. Absolutely crushes any cosmic.

Legendary: Gungnir. After a bit of spreadsheet masochism Gungnir does outperform Apollo now.

Ring: A cosmic with health, ranged, area, and crit/crit dmg.

Insignia: Kitty Pride with health and crit/ranged/crit damage. Stacking projectile evasion is OP.

ARTIFACTS
Double Meta, Xerogen, Pluvian/HoD.

MEDALLION
Doom Medallion: BIS due to the power duration, health, spirit, and damage.

Wizard Medallion: For bursty boss fights that won't require recasting. May possible be better now overall with the loss of KR.

BLESSINGS
Fandral or Hela. Depends solely on your own personal stats.

COSTUME AFFIXES
Critamage rating on all 4 slots. With a L60 core you can get up to roughly 4k bonus crit dmg which is massive with Gungnir and all the supplemental damage we have.

Our core is going to be Fighting+Energy or LL+Fighting if you want better survivability since stats are no longer multiplicative. For AMA builds a HP+Energy Core.

RELIC
Lemuria. A full stack of 999 Xandar only adds 41 damage to Energy Pulse and 41 per tick to Vortex Grenade. Take Lemuria for regen.
