Idea for Light/Holo Based Hero, looking for leveling/learning to play again

aion

Hello, I'm a recently returning player and I'm trying to get a handle on all the different things in the game. The healer thread has really helped me out with that. One thing that I've found I really like is the various Holoforce/Psionic Dragon type costume pieces and I'm looking to make a character concept based around those powers.

I'm mostly looking for a build that can be fairly self sufficient while leveling up. I'm guessing maybe TK or Force Powers may be best for light based stuff? I tried playing around with the energy beam powers from power armor but while leveling up that destroys energy really fast.

Ranged (and melee) TK is very good atm. I'd prob suggest that of the options given. Here's an example of a basic ranged TK dps build:

For single-target dps, alternates between TK Strike and charged TK Lance. Charged TK Burst can be the main AoE. TK Maelstrom can provide some burst AoE, CC, and quick Ego Leech stacks for TK Lance. The last power can be w/e ya want (Mental Impact is good, though you have to buy/unlock it as the ult). Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec.
