Force support/healer

tasoseg

Hello everyone.

I've made this Force support/healer build. What do you think? I really want to it have around 6-7 skills from the Force power set.
Any advice is welcome.

Well, Force very recently got revamped, such that this build is a prob bit outdated. You may want to see what all the new Force changes are and test them all out for yourself, since they're pretty extensive.

Anyone figure this out yet? I'm itching to get one off the ground and while I see the individual powers, putting them together is making me crosseyed.

Well, one pretty neat attack setup you can do w/ Force now is to get Force Blast w/ the Demolish and self-shield advs, get Shield Restoration w/ the Entropy adv (that puts up Power Shield), and then combine that w/ charged FC w/ Field Inversion to consume both shield effects for some burst dmg. The shielding effects will also proc Force's new shield-based EU and toggle/form as well (and since they are both End-based, you'll have high energy reserves to use FC- at least the cheaper single-target version of it). You'd prob want to use Shield Restoration overall as a Force-based Support anyways, so it can be a bridge between playing offensively and defensively. You prob also want the new 3-pt adv on Force Eruption that expires shield effects on you (notably self-Protection Field, and Force Blast's self-shield adv) and applies a shield to nearby players instead, when fully charged.

I'm still not sure on whether the new IDF is worth taking as a passive, but you can always just go w/ a more conventional support aura passive instead (Med Nanites isn't too bad for it, since it can passively heal and provide some defense, and it's not that heavily reliant on Pres).

Making a Force build is a bit of a pain w/o the HC updated, but here's a general example (trust the edited text, not the HC link, ofc):

It shields and heals allies as needed, and throws out some dmg otherwise. You'll generally want to keep Shield Restoration up on a target as well. Gears mostly for End, w/ some Con and Pres.

It looks alright, though it leans more heavily into Elec than Force. If you need more energy, you could get the Entropy adv on Shield Restoration. Also, you could get 2/2 Vuln in Pres PSS, since Electrocute can also trigger it (along w/ Trapped and Sent Mastery), but it's up to you if you want to make that change.
