Force DPS help

I was hoping for a little help coming up with a concept toon. The theme is that of a living bomb, using his energy to violently explode at enemies (Force Eruption, for example). Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Eh, I don't like recommending Force builds, but esp cause of scatter KB powers like FC and FEruption. That said, you can still work around that potential issue. I'll give you a build, but just be mindful of knocks when playing in teams:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Ranged Damage)
    v3.42:34

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

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

    Powers
    Level 1: Power Bolts
    Level 1: Force Blast (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 6: Concentration
    Level 8: Quarry (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Force Eruption (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 14: Pulverizer
    Level 17: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Force Cascade (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Power Conversion (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 26: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 29: Energy Wave (Reverse Polarity)
    Level 32: Force Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 35: Lock N Load (Rank 2)
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 32/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Intelligence: Preparation (2/2)
    Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)
    Intelligence: Detect Vulnerability (3/3)
    Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
    Avenger: Ruthless (2/2)
    Avenger: Round 'em Up (3/3)
    Avenger: Offensive Expertise (2/2)
    Avenger: Preemptive Strike (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)

    For single-target dps, it alternates between FBlast and FC, while keeping Power Conversion on cd. AoE can be done w/ a mix of EWave (to clump up mobs), FEruption (taps won't knock, but also won't proc Conc; you could try for half-charges too), and FC. FBlast can also be tap-spammed on a mob if you want to build up knock immunity faster, for w/e reason. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and End/Rec.

    Thank you, Flow! I promise I will work well with others

    If you plan to do some stuff solo you'll find that using BIG knocks as a form of crowd control is quite a lot of fun when your have good gear at lvl 40. Line up an FC on a group and let fly. Whatever isn't killed out right has to lumber back into range and those you can pick off one by one. My FCer (Ego Rec End) can easily solo the worms and horrors in the nightmare event.

    any chance you'd show us you FC build? I'm trying to make a build using FC but not many other force powers. Not really sure how to go about it at the moment.....

    This is what I'm currently using. Force Blast is just used for Preemptive Strike, so I didn't rank it up beyond R2. Because of the changes to AOs and ADs many people don't use 2 ADs now, but I still find having both MD and Resurgence useful on this guy depending on the context. It's fun to open with FC top loaded with Sonic Device. What ever isn't dead is briefly stunned, allowing for another FC before they respond. Could also be Guardicator if you prefer.
