    You may not want to use the same name as the new AT, as this is an FF build.

    Anyways, the build here looks fine for a dps focus. You may want to include a Dragon move for Rush if you are using Dex and an MA form and plan on using Lum Slash heavily.

    What sort of Dragon move and what would be a good MA form to use with this? Way of the Warrior?

    If I were to grab those two, what powers should I drop for them?

    And why would I be using one power heavily over the others? Is it more viable over the others?

    You may want to read the Laser Sword thread I just posted. It has some info that could clear up some of your questions. Also, WotW is a slotted passive, and not a toggle/form (which you already have: FotTempest). WotW can still be a good passive to take here, though (it'd replace Quantum Stabilizer). As far as replacements for a Rush move, you could remove the unranked Lightwave Slash to free up a slot.

    But none of my abilities do slashing, crushing, or piercing damage, for Way of the Warrior to really benefit it. So why would I take it?

    I am also uncertain of what you mean by Rush moves. Do you mean lunges?

    I guess ur just confused or not using up-to-date info. Way of the Warrior buffs all melee dmg now- doesn't matter the dmg type as long as the attack is flagged as 'melee'.

    Rush the is the buff that you get from fully charging a 'Dragon' move from any one of the Martial Arts sets. It gives a large energy return (duration based on the number of Focus stacks you have) and some cost discount for melee attacks, and it scales w/ Dex.

    Soo.. something like this? Also, would it not be more beneficial to trade out the non-melee laser moves with melee ones?

    Looks alright, though I'd consider getting Download on Lightspeed Dash to help afford Lume Slash more (can take a rank from the block for it).

    Is 'Laser Sword' considered 'Technology'?

    Yeah its under the Technology framework, but its (mostly) not Ranged Technology for the purposes of the Targeting Computer passive.
