    You may want to get the adv on FC that makes it a single-target attack now (Focus Point). It'll lose its AoE component, but become cheaper and stronger against single-targets, while you can just use stuff like Crushing Wave, Singularity Bomb, and Force Detonation for AoE dmg (I know you also have the variant device, but I don't think the device is a great pick for this build anyways, since it instead uses Particle dmg and wants to be paired w/ Power Conversion or Dark Transfusion). I would also get the Demolish adv on Force Blast (instead of Field Inversion), and also get R2 + the 1-pt knock adv on Crushing Wave (keeping the Barrier adv, if you like it). To free up adv points, you can take out the Accel Metab adv on FC and take ranks away from Singularity Bomb and/or the Ult.

    Thank you Flow, I was curious about the variant device. I will make the changes you suggested and test give it a go. And would Pulverizer also work as an EU or stick with Impact Force?

    I would suggest taking rank 3 for Force Shield for endgame content. Pulverizer may work better than Impact Force since you're not stacking Endurance. If you were to go with Force Control and stack End, then Impact Force would definitely be the better choice of the two.

    Yea, Pulverizer could work too- you'd just want to switch to Rec SS instead of End SS then. Impact Force and Pulverizer scale w/ their respective stat the same way, and they both have the same stacking mechanism (so there's not going to be a large difference between them here, in effect), but one other benefit that Pulv + Rec has here is also boosting your starting energy. If going that route, then I would still prob get some End in the talents, just to boost your max energy a bit for FC and Gravity Driver; for example:

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Ego (Primary)
    Level 10: Recovery (Secondary)
    Level 15: Dexterity (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Psychokinetic (Dex: 10, Ego: 10, Rec: 10, End: 8)
    Level 6: Worldly (Ego: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 12: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Daredevil (Ego: 5, End: 5)
    Level 18: Shooter (Dex: 5, Ego: 5)
    Level 21: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)

    And yea, a R3 block is a good idea for harder content in a committed dps build like this.
