Pure Psychokinesis or Psychokinesis/TC + Dominating?

[progad]

Has anyone tried pure Psychokinesis or Psychokinesis/TC + Dominating? I have big doubts about killing groups of enemies. Psychokinsis has only lightning from mass skills and it is clearly not enough. There is also Psychokinetic Chain, but it is very weak based on the description.

Psychokin'chain is weak indeed; in my last playthrought (pure psy quad school) i usually used it after a mass Enrage, to accelerate the auto-kill speed, but ... yeah, it's more than niche (maybe an expose weakness then psychokin'chain on the toxic slugs ennemies, or the Rockies ? On average baddies it's just not worth it by itself).

Pure psychokinesis lacks damages that are not on cooldown - unless you consider spamming electrokinesis (with its high cost) as the viable solution. I think PK should be complemented with something else, be it a weapon or another school, or monk-style fisting (max Will with enought melee to touch or will/str mix works either way, str only with low will is viable if heavy on support feats).

TC (*) only is a treat, so i heard, so TC + PK walls and others crowd control should be very viable. But i usually complete psy with something else more physical to finish things, except for the quad-school aforementionned.

(*) Edit : sorry, was thinking "TM" and not TC, but Thought Control still good :p Third best crowd control (after PK and MT), and PK will be a good complementary damage to TC, yes.

There is proxy as well, but otherwise pretty much what Voroff said. Killing spiders will be a nightmare unless you have some other way to deal damage or a way to hide while cooldowns come back. I'd add TC.

From my experience, nothing goes better with Psychokinesis than Temporal Manipulation, no matter how generic such combination may sound. These two schools work wonders together and struggle against virtually no enemy (on a side note, bullying the Abomination with Implosion+Entropic Recurrence is incredibly satisfying, just saying).
