My PB is currently sat at lvl22 waiting for the vetran respec and thought i post what i hope is a passable build for a mainly solo PB.

As stated i do solo most of the time, but quite happy to team if the situation arises, its a PvE only build as well.

Thoughts please.

Might consider swapping Conserve Energy with Thermal Shield?

Swapping idea Seconded! Human form PBs have very high endurance usage.

Get conserve energy in ASAP, you can leave the shield till much later.

The energy shield is largely useless since many energy blasts will stun, sleep or hold you, thus dropping the shield anyway. Fire/cold damage isn't regular enough hero-side to warrant taking Thermal Shield...

I'd suggest taking Glinting Eye instead of Gleaming Bolt and slotting it for acc/dam/dam/dam. It's decent enough energy damage and your attack chain will have a noticable gap otherwise.

With that build you will have a LOT of trouble with voids and quantums. I took pulsar much earlier and 6-slotted it (will perma-mez minions) and took Quantum Flight to sneak up on voids and sappers with an RS>>>IS combo.

I started my PB out as Human-only but TBH I found that you're gimping yourself unless you take dwarf form; for the sake of one power pick and 2 slots for maximum Damage Resistance it adds so much to your survivability it's not even funny. With another 3 slots in Dwarf's self heal for 2recharge/2heal you'll be very hard to take down.

I'd post my PB's build but it's been subjected to a good few respecs since I initially levelled it. It's currently sitting about halfway-to-pvp-land with some odd slotting and no Solar Flare...

Well you've left out Essence Boost now which is pretty much a required +survivability power, but aside from that it looks solid to me! Hasten's great for getting Conserve Energy and Essence Boost up sooner...

I've had both the stealth pool and the leadership pool on my PB and never really got much use out of them. Photon Seekers can be useful as a "mini nuke" or for fighting bosses, but tbh these days they usually don't go off when you want them to and for PVE you'd definately get more milage over time from Solar Flare.

I quite happily managed from 1 to 50 without any shields and took dwarfie at the ripe old age of level 35... The 30-40 stretch is very tough on toons with no mez protection though, so I'd not advise grabbing dwarfie any later than level 30. The S/L shield is a nice resistance boost and many love it... personally I never saw much need for it since for the most part I played my PB like a /regen!

Dammit, I should have bothered to read the build. I wanted to say that take conserve energy over thermal shield.

I knew by looking at the powers this was gunna be a tight build....but man! To think i had thoughts of trying to fit the fighting pool in here too

New build then, pretty much the same as the last one but bumped some of the powers back a lvl to fit in Essence Boost and lost the Leadership pool completely, it was only there to fill anyway.
