Welcome to CO and to the free forums! We're glad to have ya' aboard! As a side note, I'm glad to see you're playing a Mind - I myself am a huge fan of support classes in MMORPGs, and the Mind is no exception.  If you want, feel free to check out the Mind guide I wrote in the Guides section - it has a number of tips and bits of advice concerning that Archetype - also, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'd be more than willing to help ya' out in any way that I can. |

Yes, I have already went through your guide. Very useful indeed!
A question I had was the balancing of my stats. I understand that Presence and Endurance are my power stats. I solo a lot doing quests (and just started playing with PvP). Since Mind are 20% reduction in damage, I wanted to maximize my potential without going overboard.
Is it at all logical to put some points into Dexterity and Ego for crit chance and damage bonus, or does Pre and End have the say-all? Thanks!
--edit--
I am not neglecting my power stats, as Presence is 98 and Endurance 78, now level 17.

From my understanding (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), but with FTP, damage now scales with your Superstats. So actually, if you wanna do more damage, increasing those is the way to go. Since the Mind doesn't attack very fast and because Dexterity and Ego aren't Superstats, I don't think the trade-off is that worth it. |

Damage always scaled with SuperStats. But now Passives do as well, giving you even more freedom of choice.
Be wary of the soft cap at 200, though. The diminishing returns after that are pretty steep.

This is true. It's common to take them to about 220, because after that they go from moderate to Brick Wall steep. Certain passives are another matter. Some (not all) will continue to scale with your stats as you crank them up without any softcap. It's not always worth it, and it's now harder because they scale off two stats instead of one, but it's still possible. |
