forcefield healer help

in Builds and Roles
I'm looking for some help with this build. I know there's differing opinions on the (fairly) recent force changes, but I want to build around Redirected Force, if possible. I'm also thinking of using Aura of Radiant Protection to make teammates more sturdy, along with maybe some shield powers as kind of a Susan Storm esc forcefield healer. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Well, RF is now an Ult, so building around it is a bit limited in scope, given its long cd. But you can still include it and also use Force Shield w/ RF's special adv. Here's an example build:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Support)
    v3.45:38

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

    Talents
    Level 1: The Void (Dex: 8, Con: 10, Rec: 10, End: 10)
    Level 6: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 9: Lasting Impression (Pre: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Prodigy (Pre: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
    Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Force Bolts
    Level 1: Force Blast (Demolishing Blast, Shield Generator)
    Level 6: Vital Shielding
    Level 8: Aura of Radiant Protection (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Crushing Wave (Rank 2, Entropy Field)
    Level 14: Power Barrier
    Level 17: Protection Field (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 20: Arcane Vitality (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 23: Force Eruption (Field Expulsion)
    Level 26: Redemption (Salvation)
    Level 29: Force Shield (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 32: Thundering Return
    Level 35:
    Level 38: Redirected Force (Rank 2, Rank 3, Hold The Line)
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
    Presence: Selfless Ally (2/2)
    Presence: Moment of Glory (3/3)
    Presence: Force of Will (2/2)
    Sentinel: Eternal Spring (2/2)
    Sentinel: Caregiver (3/3)
    Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
    Sentinel: Moment of Need (1/3)
    Sentinel: Genesis (1/2)
    Overseer: Administer (3/3)
    Overseer: Ruthless (3/3)
    Overseer: Impact (2/2)
    Overseer: Honor (2/2)
    Mastery: Presence Mastery (1/1)

    The open power slot can be w/e ya want.

    Protection Field can be used for general direct shielding, while you can also shield yourself and charge Force Eruption to expel your shield and give it to others nearby. For dps, FBlast can be used for single-targets, and Crushing Wave can be used for AoE (its Entropy adv can proc the toggle/form and EU, the other potential ranks/advs are up to you). I also took Arcane Vit as a general ally/self heal, as a backup. I chose Overseer as the last spec here for a general healing and dps boost, but you could take a different spec to boost other aspects of the build, like Sentry, Guardian, Vindicator, or Protector. Gears mostly for Pres (for AoRP and the healing boost), w/ some End and Con.

    Bionic Shielding would be a great choice for the empty slot.​​
