Power Tools: SONIC DRILL (Ranged crit build)

The theory here is that PBR will, with the specs, allow for some spectacular single target damage as crits pile up while stacking Overdrive and allowing for frequent Force Cascades. Any improvements or oversights would be welcome advice!

    On next use powers don't work on maintains not sure why you picked them so early unless this is a retcon only build?

    Sure they do. They do not, however, trigger off of energy builders since a recent patch.

    I'd SS recovery over endurance. In fact, I'd go DEX/INT/REC (but I'm partial to DEX's specialization and mastery over EGO's).

    Bummer with the force cascade, otherwise I'd say go offense with electric form for some REAL damage (and a lil energy help), but if you're wanting to do the defense/hybrid, quarry isn't bad.

    You also have no toggle form like Concentration, you might want to work that in ASAP.

    EDIT: I'll include the two builds (similar) that I have played to 40:
    Blaze (Eye Beams) and Vulgaar (PBR)
