I'm a bit of a new player here, so please bear with me.
I picked this game up a long time ago, and liked it's overall theme and the concepts behind it's gameplay. But I couldn't stand the targeting system, so I eventually left before making any significant headway.
(note that I have seen a video that went over a way to make the targeting more Action-like, but it wasn't enough.)
But recently, I checked out Secret World Legends. While it has a very similar targeting system, Three of the Six classes have an alternate basic attack that does not use the standard targeting, but rather creates a conical AOE in the direction the player is facing: Not requiring a target to be even vaguely in the area. I have been fully able to tolerate the targeting system through relying on abilities like that, and thus could enjoy the rest of the game.
Remembering this game, and realizing that this game might also have attacks that don't rely on having a target selected, I went to the wiki for info.
But the Wiki seems to be lacking in quite a bit of content, with many links simply taking me to a page about "Taco-portation".
The Power Framework descriptions in-game are almost as bad, and left me still wanting for knowledge.
So now I ask you, the current players, for help. Is there any Frame-work and/or build that you know of that would suit my needs?
Note that it doesn't have to be a for-free framework: I am willing and able to pay for it, if need be.
Nor does it need to be greatly effective: I'm fine if it's not an effective way to play, I just care that I can tolerate it.
Thanks in advance.

Most non-targeted stuff in CO would be pbAoEs, which can be good for AoE grinding, but on the whole those won't give you good single-target dmg.

Yes, for the most part, I'm looking for an archetype that best suits what I'm looking for.
And you are correct in assuming that I am not subbed. But if a freeform slot is what I need to get the most out of this game, then I have no qualms spending a bit of Zen to get it.
I'm also fine if my Single target DPS lags behind. I assume I can compensate with gear or playing at a sub-par difficulty.
I just need an idea of what will get me the best tailored experience for my buck, before I go spending a bunch of time and money on a guess. There isn't really a try-before-you-buy system in place, as far as I know.
