Psi Lash (Tier 0) - This is a maintained energy builder, which is not terribly common. It generates decent energy from range, so at its core it does the job. One possibly benefit of a maintained energy builder is that you can turn off the automatic firing, and use single button presses of the 1 key to get a couple hits of energy. For support characters who may not want to attack constantly, this is a decent option.

Advantages of Note: Psychic Reverberations has a 10% chance to lower the target's ego damage resistance by -34% for 6 sec. This sounds great at first, but a debuff that happens only 1 in 10 hits and lasts only 6 seconds is of dubious benefit.

Advantages of Note: Slave Mentality causes the sprits to return to you after 10 seconds and heal you. This will only happen if the sprites deal their full damage (in other words, the target does not die before the 10 second DoT finishes). Many players swear by this advantage and use Ego Sprites almost exclusively when solo. The Slave Mentality heal can stack up to 5 times. In late September 2009 the heal was cut in half, and many feel the advantage is no longer worthwhile.

• 470 ego damage over 10 sec.

Ego Storm (Tier 3) - Maintained AoE attack. Deals continuous ego damage and applies a hold to nearby targets. Grants Telepathic Reverberation for 6 sec if you have that power.

• 74-306 ego damage.
• 31 energy initially, 20 energy per 1 sec.
• 0.5 sec activation.
• 25 foot sphere.
• 15 sec cooldown.
