I'm going to play a Tashalatora Monk 2/Ardent X character and I'd like to choose a psionic ability that allows me to use Flurry of Blows while moving/charging. Looking at the Ardent powers, there're Hustle and Psionic Lion's Charge. Although these powers works different from each other, the final result is the same - you move and make a full attack - thus it seems redundant to have both powers.
So which one is better? Hustle or Psionic Lion's Charge? Honestly I'm more inclined to choose Hustle since Freedom is already a chosen mantle (Primary mantle, of course), but maybe I'm missing something. |

However, since you're going Tash, and thus probably not using a two-hander, charging multipliers won't be useful. Go with Hustle. |

If you charge, you must move at least 10 feet; it must be in a straight line directly at your opponent; it's stopped by obstacles, team mates, or difficult terrain; and you gain a +2 to hit and -2 to AC.
If you think about it, those are really two different things. If you're using a charger build, Lion's Charge is very useful to get the full attack with all the charge modifiers for extra damage.
if you're not getting charge modifiers and don't need the +2 to hit and movement limitations, use Hustle for the flexibility. You have the movement rate to take advantage of it.
