I'm thinking about changing my PA/Gadget character into a Force character.

I have a few questions about the powers.



I'm 31 at the moment and I plan to superstat INT/REC unless there's a better combination, but I really like INT, while REC seems very good to start off a fight. (my current SSs are INT/END which works pretty well, but I always have to start off using my energy builder)

For healing/mitigation I want Mindful Reinforcement, unless it's worthless without PRE, and some combination of Protection Field (heard it's bugged), Bionic Shielding, and maybe Bountiful Chi Resurgence for myself (unless MR would work without presence?).

Is containment field any good? Seems lackluster because enemies take less damage, I do want some kind of hold, though. That goes for the hold advantage of Cascade, as well.

I have no idea what offensive Force powers are worthwhile, except that cascade is pretty good.

Also.. would the knockback from almost every force power make my teammates want to kill me, or is it pretty manageable?

I'd try stuff out on my own.. but I don't want to waste my free respec if my idea is worthless.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, I forgot to mention.. I am undecided as to what passive I should take.

I have regeneration right now, that works quite well. But I'd be up for anything else, especially if I'd be able to heal myself well enough with my other powers. (something team oriented like an aura wouldn't be bad.)
