Hi All
With the Force revamp now out, I'm still curious to know if useing PFF with other powers (Exp: TK Blades <Melee Build> with PFF as it's Passive) will work well. As PFF is a very unique passive where it doesn't boost any other stats outside it's shield (So no extra DPS, no melee or range dmg boost)
Ideally the build will be Hybrid to help out the DPS, but I assume Stats/Specs, Forms and EUs will be key to up-keep the DPS?. As example build (this is one of my TK builds but swapped passive and with the new powers)

- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
Build was mostly a mock-up but cheers for the input.
So it is doable to have PFF as a Passive and still roll with TK build setup in mind?, I just curious to see how much DPS I'll lose as the passive (As far I know) does factor a ton in DPS.
Sure, if you want to do mostly sub-par dps. Any time you take a defensive passive, like PFF, you are saying that you value a bit of survivability over maxing your damage. In tank role you will do the least damage. In hybrid you will do a bit more. But, you will not be top of the pile. Get a set of Justice Gear with all R7 mods and you will do OK at things like Kiga and Ape. If you can do at least 2K dps/second at dino you will at least not be making it more difficult. Of course, if you are just soloing content you can roll with just about anything.
My thanks
Yeah, I don't touch endgame content, like the Dino folks from MI or say Doctor D. But still good to know!
