To start with, my lil' psi has been an 'Astral' PvE since the very beggining. Now that he will soon reach greatness, I decided it's time to learn the so-called 'Pyro' build, wich a lot of psis seem to prefer over the one I use.
After a series of unsuccessful google-ing, I managed to find 3 variations of the 'Pyro' build... Since I don't have much experience with this one (all I knwo is that I loose my mobility, but my damage will beconsiderably higher), I want to ask you, guys, wich are the advantages and disadvatages of each of them (or if they are up-to-date, in the first place).
First build: http://en.allodswiki.ru/calc/#!6!113..31…qfbnodd/UYHDVUD
Second build: http://en.allodswiki.ru/calc/#!6!121..31…!kwcomc/AXQBNOD
Third build: http://en.allodswiki.ru/calc/#!6!213..31…HAR!cid/UYHDVUD
First question that pops in my mind: do we even get that many rubies + talents? How many extra rubies do those builds actually take? (all 5 raid rubies? pvp one? class trainer one? greatness one?
Also, if you have a better option, I'd be greatful if you made a talent calculator for me (but alsoexplain why)

Secondly, the rubies are a problem (at least until 6.0, but, then again, that's another psi altogheter).
Finally, there are some skills that seem useless to me. Can you tell me what exactly is their purpose? *Please note that the main goal of this build should be grinding at Wellebell (or astral or w/e) and, even more importantly, doing the 'Highest Art Of Alchemy' quest. So...
1. Twin R1: the problem I have with this skill is that it probably won't offer much protection, especially with only 1 talent point. Or is it more of a "oh sh!t, I'm almost dead" kind of skill, like Time Loop? Another issue is that as far as I know, WS isn't enough to cast this spell; you would need Mental Link, wich takes time to cast
2. Why R3 on Hypno? I actually have it at R2 on my current build and... I never use it :/ I know a lot of psis recomand it, but I never understood why... In groups, someone is sure to disspell it after just a couple of seconds and in 1v1 you don't really got the time to use it
3. Mental Cleansing R1: Actually, I always thought a small healing skill would be nice. But the question is: would it do enough healing? Like, at least 5%-7%? Also, is the healing/mana ratio good enough?
4. This doesn't really have much to do with the skills, but still: I see you took both Aura and Seal. That seems ok, since depending on the role I have in the part/ what kind of monsters I'm fighting I would need to switch between the two. But this makes me think about something: how much mana will a a pyro/hybrid psi cost? Say I'm grinding non stop for amals; is Superficial Trance enough to keep my mana pool full, or will I need to constantly use Martyr? (to give you an idea, with the current build I do it like this: kill lvl 51-55 monster with 1, 2 or 3 venoms, then WS on spark, then Pulse/Pul followed by special WS skill. then Ecto+choke, then 1 final venom wich kills them due to the 5 outsmarted stacks)

So, would you mind giving me a build that would suit my 'solitaire' style (indeed, I mainly do ama q + Wild Shore for gold) I'm reaching greatness tommorow, so I need to decide. Here is my current build, with all talents and rubies avaible right now. Do you think it's good enough and I can make a PvP build just for fun, or should I remplace it with a proper PvE build, that would fit my desires and let me get the best of my class?

For PvP you'd need PvP specific things like Mind Fire, Sharp Incursion, maxed Twin, maxed Astral Body, Master of Illusions. PvP build would be even more different.
I'd do something like that for pure solo PvE:

Or without Hypno, but r3 Ecto Form and Body instead.
If you don't like Choke that much you can swap 80% slow rubies to 2 empty cells and Superficial Trance.
Ok, I made that build, without hypno and I got Superficial Trance. But, happily, I have 4 rubies left... so, should I take the 80%slow rubies or go for Astral Curse instead (I do remember it was a great damage dealer :3)

Not really. Look at the tooltip, it's a little bit more than one Astral Venom cast - which is very weak. The 80% slow choke rubies are good only for fighting elite mobs though.
I see. So, what should I use the final rubies for, then? The choke ones really aren't very useful in solo activities and, yes, i do see your point about astra curse. Anythong else that might proove to be useful?
i dont see how choke is NOT effective for playing solo
actually it is a geat way of beeing conservative with concentration stacks and does a LOT of damage, especially with all its rubies
when using ecto choke can be done without any worries
the only problem are the mobs with shield (-> solution = use choke only AFTER shield)
and those who CC-pull you (-> solution = use choke only AFTER cc-pull)
but i know its kinda personal preference any many psis dont like choke
its true that the slowdown effect of the rubies is not this great (and often useless if mobs gain cc immunity )
myself, i only take them to reduce cd of choke and to reach the moral trauma
the cd reduction is worth it for me
