Yes. I like the Personal Shields from "Dune". I could start a Dune SG. ;)

Gravitar fight with PFF:

Kr'yshte performed exceptionally well. Time your blocks and PFF works just fine.

I second this, my ForceGirls 7.3k PFF worked very well until I forgot to block :p, even held up very well against her random force cascades :D

Warlord fight with PFF:

Hug his leg like a happy puppy and throw up your block for each of his charged attacks and his flamethrower regardless of who is tanking. I say this because I seem to get blasted whether or not he has me targeted. Doing this and avoiding the fire patches should keep your shield going just fine.

I didnt know that blocks charge up in power e.g. the longer you hold it the more damage you mitigate! Well then again I am usually one of the last ppl to find out stuff :p

It would be nice if there was some time of animation to show blocks charging up?

*Cough* Growing Block animation *Cough*

:D

# 97 Best Energy Unlock and Form for a Force Buld

I'm trying to work up a build primarily using the Force power set, using PFF (currently lvl 21). Interesting to read about the possibilities involved in using Dodge/Avoidance as the outer layer of defense over PFF.

I'm wrestling with a few issues. First, the guy's role is support/ranged damage, so I can see taking Protection Field to throw around allies, or myself if PFF with Field Surge fails me. Seem reasonable?

What is a good Form power to go with this. I see IDF is inside PFF which isn't great, but possibly still useful to help out the team and to help me as a last resort with PF if PFF w/Field Surge Fails. OTOH I've seen a few posts in this thread about Compassion providing a significant boost to PFF, but I'm not sure if a Force based character would have the tools necessary to build it up enough to be useful. If I'm soloing and can't throw PF around an ally it seems I'd be stuck. Force also has a number of attacks that I like (Force Cascade, Force Eruption, etc.) that do knocks, so perhaps Enraged might be the way to go. Thoughts?

Also pondering a good Energy Unlock. Wind Reverberation uses Repels. Would the knocks that several Force powers have count as repels? I guess the main other option is MSA. I'm thinking of including Force Geyser, Masterful Dodge, Ego Surge, Nanobot Swarm (w/ rejuvenating injectors) and either Imbue or Conviction as he levels up. Secondary Super Stas will be Int and Rec which help with MSA. Again, any thoughts?

Thanks!

Knocks are different than repels - a repel pushes an enemy away, but otherwise leaves them standing. If you're using force geyser and have any decent amount of INT, then may I suggest MSA. It'd also trigger off of *any* power coming off of a cooldown.

If you choose to use PF then it's recommended to stat Pre because the bubble scales to it for whatever reason.

As for your Form:

On Protogen, when I retcon him again, he will probably be using Cocentration since he will primarily be ranged.

On Kr'yshte I have Mental Discipline since she is my Protoss themed TK Blader.

Really it's up to you and what you feel would be best for your character. Additionally I have to agree with bio, MSA is a solid choice for anyone using PFF. I personally recommend Int SS with PFF as it allows for a faster cooldown for the beloved Field Surge.

A note about your choice of Ego Surge: if you have Ego SS then it will give you a temporary boost to shield strength and regen on PFF.

Thanks for all the tips (also to Bio). I have been working on upping the Pre.

I'd forgotten about Concentration! New powers and all.

Loos like MSA is the way to go.

Does the effect of IDF happen before PF or is it underneath? Similarly, are Dode/Avoidance before PF?
