Any Suggestions for Stealth Mind Control Builds?

[Cosmic Muse]

I noticed almost all of the Mind Control school is silent and that makes me think it has really good potential for the sneaky zapping. Does this work? Any suggestions on how to pull this off? I want a break from my current shotgun build and want to try something I haven't touched yet.

I had just the same idea the other day. I think you should combine mind control with knifes. Use psi to separate enemies so you can 1v1 them or as long range option/finisher. For this you will need 4 stats decently high (agi, dex, int, will) so it will be a complete glass cannon.

Hell yeah. Should I go ahead and pick up some electronics crafting and make energy knives while I'm at it or maybe even some poisons? I never make a build without throwing so I can use grenades so maybe some throwing knives too perhaps?

Some throwing for accurate flashbands at short-mid range is always good but im not sure you really need throwing knifes cause you have psi ranged attack.

It works incredibly well and I think there isn’t a build in the game the does stealth better. Around 28:26 you start to see how it does for stealthy kills

Thought control has a bunch of abilities that benifit melee stealth user.

Psychosomatic Predation - gain bonus damage against specific target, more damage for melee weapons.

Neurovisual Disruption - go in stealth in combat.

Pseudo-spatial Projection - enemies has a chance to miss you and hit one of your illusory copies instead. Great for a evasion character, and as a melee user you REQUIRED to have at least some agility thus leveling evasion-dodge becomes worthwhile.
