Core perks of this build are Brain Rupture + Kinetic Resonance , Empowered Psionics + Overpowering Souls + Charged Up, and Telekine Shield + Enervating Threshold + Bolstered Shield.
Standard casting time for Brain Rupture is 2.3 seconds with primary fire (left-click). With a stack of Empowered Psionics, this falls to 1.15 seconds, and with Kinetic Resonance, ~0.6 seconds. This allows us to throw down a shield and start popping heads rapidly. Our aim should be gunners, shotgunners and ragers first, and then large targets like bulwakrs, crushers and monstrosities next.
By spacing out how often we deploy our shields, we can keep about 80% uptime on Kinetic Resonance throughout the mission.
This build is niche. It's extremely effective against the Poxburster, Mutant Wave, Hound Wave, and Specialist Waves on Maelstroms, but not very good for standard Auric/Havoc game modes.
Our primary weapon can be whatever you'd like, but the Macabaian Mk IV Dueling Sword provides excellent mobility and a strong melee option versus heavily armoured elites. Our secondary weapon can also be whatever we prefer, but I find that the Voidblast + Rending Shockwave does an excellent job of mulching through specialists "caught" against our Telekine Shield.
