  I got rid of Elec Form, cause you can't use 2 slotted passives at once. This is unless you plan on somewhat regularly switching between PFF and Elec Form to get decent mileage out of both. Also exchanged Bionic Shielding for Conviction since the latter is more straightforward and works w/ MSA. Otherwise, made some general tweaks here and there.
  
  Last 2 power slots can be w/e, though I may get a threat wipe and/or a self-res, or maybe another cd-based attack, or a 2nd AD. Up to you.

  Ok testing the build so far it is really enjoyable, but i have just 1 question. Are there any other good powers to pick from for lvl 32 ? i would like to switch from Gravitic Ripple and i really cannot decide which to choose from,i thought about picking up the cascade but it requires A LOT of energy and the whole buff form effect if i want to charge it all the way

  Well, assuming you have it unlocked, Grav Ripple can be nice for keeping enemies clumped up for Orbital Cannon w/ adv. I'd prob keep that pairing if its available, though ofc its not essential.
  
  Cascade could be good as an opener, though you already have Orbital Cannon for that, and FC would hit hard but also bottom-out ur energy.

  Alright, well its really up to you then. You have the basics covered w/ the powers up to that point. You can add extra functionality to the build, but it depends what ya want to add: more attack variety, maybe another dps cd, or another defensive cd or heal, or a self or ally res, or a threat wipe, or a good CC power, etc.

  So the last 3 powers can be selected based on my preference as long as it is something along the lines of what you suggested, great

  Not sure why ego surge is in there. I am new to all this ff stuff, but isn't that for ego blades?

  ES/NM is the best AO for burst dps when paired w/ Con gearing, cause Nimble Mind it grants you a large flat boost to crit%. Other AO's don't really compare to its dps potential.
