I didn't take PFF because if things go bad, I run away in bg mode just like I do with all my other toons. PFF doesn't have stealth so it's not like I can just ignore things and even if I do, I would still draw aggro to me.

I took Force bubble just because it's a lvl 38 power. I rarely use it. Last night I did use it at choke point in BAF which I find surprisingly helpful.

I don't find any of the arrow attacks worth using. They have no real secondary effects that can be used for procs. Fistful of Arrow is ok if you put Chance for Energy and Chance for Knock Down. I just simply 5 slot Smoke Flash and throw it whenever it's up.

Force Bolt you must take,

Deflection and Insulation shields are essential

Detention field is handy to have, it takes the biggest threat out of the equation for 30 seconds.

Dispersion Bubble again I'd say is vital and works with Deflection and Insulation shields

Repulsion Field I'd skip personally, some may disagree though. It repels enemies that come near to you, but it costs you endurance for each one, and once you get Force Bubble at 38, this power typically becomes pointless as they can't get to you anyway while that is up.

Repulsion Bomb I'd take personally, however on an MM it could be skipped possibly if you were thinking of powers elsewhere, because its a knockdown and while the baddies are getting back up, they can't hit you, or your ninjas. But be careful as its an aggro magnet of an attack. So you'll need to let your ninjas get off a few hits first. I'd take it though just in case things break through the lines to you.

Force Bubble keeps enemies away from you and stops them getting to melee range. If they try to push through they usually get knocked down, and the beauty is,

Snap Shot is skipable on the Ninja's side of things. Doesn't do enough damage to make it a worthwhile take at all.

Your other powers are takers.

Think of this for example as a strategy, you fire off fistful of arrows aggro all the mobs in front to you, while your ninjas, already bubbled are set on passive. You run in, turn on PFF you are now untouchable, nows a good time to tell the ninjas to attack. While the mobs focus on you, when the mobs turn away drop PFF so your dispersion bubble can work again.
