I recommend taking ZERO attacks.

I have to agree with and second that, not only did I find pulse rifle burst/blast to be pathetic damage compared to what the bots do, they worked like taunt and mostly succeeded in getting me attacked.
Force Bolt is my one and only attack and I love it I love it I love it. With a recharge reducer and accuracy enhancements and good timing I can keep at least one mob "held" using it's knockback.

Comments questions welcome. I enjoy the build and find it to be very powerful. With proper use of personal force field and heal self (and strategic retreat) I find this character to be pretty much unkillable in PVE. Basically if I have time to realize that I am going to die I can easily prevent it from occuring. Stamina isn't required but in situations where I resummon bots during the fight, re-bubble everyone, or continually force bolt, it's nice to do it without dispersion bubble dropping.
