I have this force-themed character, but I'm kinda lost on how to build around Force Cascade. I know Energy Forms are bad with it, so AoPM is my main passive choice so far. No clue what SS should I pick, tho.
Here's a dual passive build I use (just had to keep PFF in there). Due to the knock generated energy from using Unstoppable he can spam FC until well after the cows have come home.
You could take out PFF (and Field Surge and then take MD and save some points) and add in Force Blast and go the Avenger + Vindicator route using Preemptive Strike.
Can use Frag Nade if w/in 50ft for the debuff and dps boost, and use Geyser if further out to proc MSA. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Rec and End (maxHP on gear can help make up for low health).
It's not quite intuitive, is it, but it works great. If you handle FC well you don't really need con. I scatter my enemies all over the map and then pick them off as they come back in, those that survive the initial hit that is.
Can also swap Frag gren w/ advs for Burst shot + no adv pts. Burst shot tap applies Armor piercing. And, if you have invisible weapons, it just fires from your fists.

Good point, this way I don't deviate from the force-theme, thanks!
