Why didn't someone tell me that Force Bubble...

Back when Vanguard and Power Boost (or Power Build Up for Defenders) enhanced knockback (thank you PvP, really, thank you, so grateful, it's lovely, thanks again...), you could get some pretty heinous flights going with powers like Force Bolt and Power Thrust.
Force Bubble is plenty nice but it's one of those powers that without sufficient player skill, it's painful to experience.

If you love that, then try this.....
Find a lower-level spawn on a rooftop, get in position, and turn on force bubble. Once a mob's feet is off the ground and there's no traction (when they get pushed off the roof), they go flying so far they're not even targeted anymore. They just disappear into the distance.

The only problem with defeating the Tsoo is that an hour later, you want to defeat them again!

I remeber doing something similar on an STF. Those technicians that are level 40 and spawn near the towers they want to repair. I had Telekinesis on the tower and Force Bubble running. He spawned, stood there for a second, then did a Team Rocket and blasted off into the horizon. Never saw him again.

For hellionball, I prefer Force Bolt. Personal choice, I guess.

Me too, but they eventually die.
...is the most hilarious power to use on lvl 1 minions? I spent an hour playing "minion-hockey," shooting enemies up the steps in Atlas Park. I even managed to shoot a few through underneath the Atlas statue.
The trick is to turn on Force Bubble, then race at the enemy with Super Speed. They usually hang around about a 1/5th of a second, then skate backwards (often still doing their emotes) so fast they disappear from view. Even more hilarious, you can send them flying through thin obstacles, like fences.
Force Bubble may not be very practical, but I'll be keeping it! And I can't wait to enter the minions of Atlas Park into the next costume contest at 90 MPH.
