Working on a force character and is another set of powers i never tinkered with. Advice on a spec to level with and maybe add some support in alerts?

    Force isn't the best powerset for leveling, since it doesn't have its own EU and Force Cascade costs a ton of energy. I'd prob start out using AoPM (or even AoAC) w/ a Cascade build that's not strictly soloing or meant to tank (else you could use Defiance).

    Here's a Force hybrid-dps w/ a touch of support:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Intelligence (Primary)
    Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Cybernetic Warrior (Con: 10, End: 10, Int: 10, Rec: 8)
    Level 6: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
    Level 9: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Investigator (Int: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Negotiator (Int: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 21: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Power Bolts
    Level 1: Force Blast (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 6: Concentration
    Level 8: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 14: Crushing Wave (Rank 2, Rank 3, Disruptive Force)
    Level 17: Molecular Self-Assembly
    Level 20: Force Geyser (Rank 2, Nailed to the Ground)
    Level 23: Force Cascade (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Force Shield (Rank 2, Force Sheathe)
    Level 29: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 32: Protection Field (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 35: Ego Surge (Nimble Mind)
    Level 38: Rebirth
    Adv. Points: 36/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Intelligence: Preparation (2/2)
    Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
    Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
    Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
    Guardian: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Guardian: Ruthless (2/2)
    Guardian: Find the Mark (2/3)
    Guardian: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Mastery: Intelligence Mastery (1/1)

    Uses mostly Force Blast and Geyser at low energy (Geyser can proc MSA cheaply), and Cascade when you have high energy. Gears mostly for Int, though AoPM will boost all stats a bit.

    Liking the flow of the build Flow, But some reason its a aggro magnet in alerts even tho i am getting no crits and trying to just use Crushing Wave on mob packs

    Spamming AoE will likely get you aggro in Alerts that you prob can't handle all at once. If ur still leveling, I'd just stick to focus firing in groups and letting higher level players go first. You can lock down enemies a bit w/ knocks, and even from far away w/ Force Blast and/or Geyser. You can also push up Resurgence and/or the shield earlier in the build, if you want to be more defensive. That, or consider an aggro drop.
