New Player: Help with a Psychokinesis Build
« on: June 18, 2023, 09:29:49 pm »
I'm looking to make a Psychokinesis build ideally with pistols or SMGs, but I'm not super attached to that idea. My only real restrictions are that I don't particularly care for stealth or melee, and I would like psychokinesis to be my focus.

Dex versatility pistols would have some good synergy; you can use the various pk stuns/roots to give yourself 95% CtH with your special attacks and also proc opportunist.  Get 6 int for premed.   TK punch, electrokinesis, imprint, grounding.  I've heard that proxy can proc ambush.

Your idea sounds somewhat counterintuitive as psychokinesis benefits greatly from having high strength if you want to use it as a primary source of damage, but high strength doesn't synergize well with pistols/SMGs.
You'd probably end up relying on your firearm and using the utility psychokinesis options much more than the directly damaging options.
I've had reasonable success running a shotgun versatility build with high strength and psychokinesis, so that could be a way for you to have both strong weapon and psionic options on a hybrid build.
