  This build uses Aura of Ebon Destruction to buff both PA and Sorcery damage. Since it could be a bit squishy, I made Dex the Primary stat for the Dodge/Avoid specs.
  The basis of the attacks are to apply debuffs to targets. Chest Beam and Mini-gun will apply damage resistance debuffs to targets and Skarn's Bane can strip the Passive off a target- like an Alert Boss.
  Instead of a "normal" self-heal, like Bountiful Chi Ressurgence, I put Lifedrain into this build. I added the area heal advantage. Life Drain is single target -for those times you don't want to attract a whole crowd.
  The Circle of Ebon Wraith increases your damage. I added the Threat pet, Tyronnians Familiar. I also added another pet, but it could be replaced with another pet or a sigils power.
  This is intended to be a dps build but with a few changes it could become a support/dps build.

  I have one toon I want to redo from scratch and an empty Free Form slot that is begging me to use.
  
  I want to create a Support toon (Concept = Robotic Sorceress)
  I want to create a DPS toon (Concept = Robotic Wizard)
  
  I am at a loss for powers and stats so I do not have builds.
  
  My play style is PvE and hard for me to get team (Except alerts and Grav/Harm/Hi-Pan)
  
  Any suggestions and being pointed to builds on Boards with suggested modifications (I have looked a builds and still trying to fit builds to concepts)
  
  Thank you in advanced.

  
  PA is quite an exclusive set. It works well with itself, and with a few toggles, but you'll probably get the most out of PA by sticking in-set for your attacks. This is because PA attacks were designed to run alongside each other, e.g. Wrist Bolter + Eye Beam + Chest Beam at the same time. An out-of-set power will disable all PA slots, and that's where you get problems finding synergies.
  
  If you're trying to find synergies with Sorcery, you'll probably want to look at the support powers, like buffs, summons and fire-and-forget attacks.. Things like Sigils, Circles, Pyro Blades or the Rituals or March of the Dead. Maybe Hex of Suffering too.
  
  For something gimmicky you might want to try something like Wrist Bolter + Auto Assault (advantage) + Revitalize (Int spec tree) + Planar Fracture + Fire All Weapons, which should give you very nice burst damage and very short cooldowns.
  
  Another option to look at is an Electric Form build with Particle and Lightning damage, like Wrist Bolter + Eye Beam + Chest Beam + Sigils of the Primal Storm + maybe Sparkstorm with Electric Personality for good measure.
