Ok here's my problem. I have a force charicter. I have taken everything from the Force tree save the buff, the personal force field and field surge. I then got the three healing abilities from the supernattural tree and well I have two powers left to get and am not sure what I should get. Anyone have any sugestions ?
For my super stats I was thinking of going with Enduance and Ego and possibly Endurance and Constitution.
Feed back is appreciated greatly everyone.
And thanks in advance for the help:D

I am haveing a the same problem.
Bump this for some help.
I have a force build. I love it so far. My build feels very complete. I am level 33 right now. I still have 2 points to spend on powers. I just can not decide what to get. It is hard to find any real synergies with the force tree.
I am thinking right now of this.
Sonic device. extra burst damage. Goes very well with cascade, detonation or eruption. I have tested this on my build for a while now and I do like it. The stun is nice too. It has a 30 sec cooldown on PTS but this does not seem like a big deal to me.
Bionic shielding. Heals for more then Resurgence and has a shorter cooldown. does not go on cooldown when you use field surge or any other defensive power. The down side is that in the heat of combat the heals do not always go off as you may have wanted. Try it and you will see what I mean. It is still very nice.
I am not 100% convinced this is what I will get yet.
I still will have two more powers to get by 40. I too need some help with what to get. Any suggestions will do. What powers do other force players use? It would also be nice if the powers do not need any advantage points because I have them committed in other places. This may be too much to ask.
To the OP.
You said you already have a few heals so bionic shielding may be too much for you. You may like miniaturization drive. I tested it out. It does not reduce damage very much. But the snare on it is very nice. If you use it with knockback it will take them longer to get back into range. I fought a darkness guy with it and found that I could keep him out of range of me a lot better. Most of his attacks were 50 foot and I could keep blasting him at 100 foot most of the time. Also the effect is very funny to use.
Any more help is welcome.

Do what I do.
Save the last few points for a while since your build is somewhat ok atm. Wait till some of the changes comming happen. After that, then you should grab some new abilities.
If you really just want to spend them now to at least play around. Get a pet, or a circle, or sigils. Those are always nice.

Sonic 30 second CD on the PTS has been noted as an error by the devs and will not be going live. That being said, any respectable Force Build should have high INT to reduce the cost and cooldown of their powers since they gobble energy and to increase the damage. Toxic is a decent buff to get, but not necessarily worth ranking up unless you have the ADV points to spare.
Bionic is useless next to something like MR, Empathic or Resurgence. Resurgence, while healing a lower total amount and having a longer CD, is more useful as an "oh crap" button. When your enemies start doing 500-1000k per tap damage, having something that heals a little bit every second is useless when they can out damage the DoT heal per second by orders of magnitude. In those situations you need a large, fast heal all at once to ensure you can get off those last one or two hits. With Bionic you won't. Also, Resurgence can be used while held and helps break holds. With regards to active defense cool down, I don't see why anyone would use an active defense on Force anyway when MR works just as well or better.
Miniaturization Drive is a novelty.

I went back in and took the only buff that Force has and disreguareded the PFF and Feild Surge. Just didn't see any point in getting them. I went in and took all the healing out of Supernatural that I could get and have tested them and work well with my build. I also diped into PA and looked into Chest beam , which I think I am going to take out and get Concusive blast instead. Any thoughts and or sugestions ??

Well I have tried Bionic Shielding. It does not fit the force tree well. All the knockback is used to keep stuff from hitting you and that is what Bionic Shielding needs.
I do not like Mindful Reinforcement. It becomes a distraction. I find myself hitting it way to much. I also have an urge to help others and start to give it to people in a group. This is where the distraction comes in. Now I am not using the abilities I have been focusing my character on.
Sonic Device is great. It fits the force character well. It helps out with a little more burst damage. The graphic effect also fits the character and fits in very well.
