Mindslayer question...

For Mindslayer, does on-hand weapon requirement got changed to willpower / cunning? Or you need the required strength / dex to wield it?

Also, all things considered...it seems a little strange for Psionics to be eligible for Antimagic talents...

Summoners, Wyrmics, Cursed, Doomed (sometimes) are all eligible for antimagic. Their powers are considered non-magical. (Except for the Doomed's creeping shadow thing, and that's a change in beta 19 apparently.)

As a rule of thumb, if the talent in question is based on Willpower instead of Magic, then it's not considered magical.

Telekinetically wielded weapons have no requirements. Weapons wielded in actual hands have the regular requirements, but Mindslayers get a sustain which boosts strength and dexterity by a percentage of willpower and cunning, so you don't really have to put points into strength and dexterity.

Thanks, but what's the percentage for max talent level?

Augmentation at talent level 5 increases strength by 39% of willpower, and dexterity by 39% of cunning. This is assuming that you have a Psi-Fighting mastery of 1.30.

Thanks, looks like some strength boost is still required...
