    I think the 1st build was mostly fine, and I'd prob just keep that general layout. Protection Field will be kinda weak on a non-Support build, though- you could just keep Force Shield around for the force field theme. You could also change the passive to Unstoppable (or WotW), since TK Blades count as melee dmg, but that's more up to you. If keeping an AO, then you'd prob want Ego Surge w/ NM, since the build uses ELeech. Another option is to drop Protection Field, the AO, and/or the lunge; and get a self-rez and/or a threat wipe instead (if you still want them, as they are in the 2nd build). Lastly, although FotTempest is fine, Mental Discipline could also work as the toggle/form.

    Yea, that ranged build looks mostly fine. I wouldn't usually tack a normal pet power onto such a build, but if you want to add it for the theme then it's alright.
