My build has all 3 primary set attacks, no pff, no health pool. I have stamina, and leadership. I didnt get force bubble, because I dont pvp. Im basically set up like a blaster.. I do tons of dmg, and my defense (bubbles) are slotted great. Im only considering respecing to take out one blast, and get Maneuvers instead, because on test server when i respeced into it, my pets barely got hit at all, while under my dispersion bubble as well.
If you don't like to stand idley by while your pets do all the work, I suggest going ahead, taking the attacks, get stamina, and be a dmg dealer.
I respec'd into the pure Force Field style of the Necro/FF with zero primary set attacks, and I wouldn't be able to do it.. Just stand there and point and click the whole time. It was mind numbing boring, as I tested the build in a door mission.
Force Bubble kept the enemies at range distance, which made my pets leave the dispersion bubble to go into melee range which they love. Perhaps I need more practice with it, but it seems to only have benefits in PvP as a detoggler and another way to inturrupt Assassin Strikes.
PFF was useless, because with it on, you only affect yourself.. so it may be an oh @#$% button, but I dont really like it.
A misconception is that MMs blasts dont do dmg.. not true. My blasts do just as much as my pets, with only 3 dmg 1 acc on them. I used them sparingly, but they make a noticeable dent.
As the only AT in CoV that resembles a Blaster, I play it like a blaster. (Corrs are more like defenders only with dmg primary which still isnt as good as a Blaster imho.)
