I've got a toon up to 24, likely 30 in just a few hours, mainly by running pvp. I stayed force through all of the run so far, but I am finding Force Cascade is lackluster against solid builds. Luckily, the theme I am going with, is that Pushback is a powerhouse. He knocks things away. What I am looking for, is a solid pvp build, based on the raw power, whether it be might or force of Push, and one that will let him rip apart people in pvp. The high cost of FC in pvp is making it lackluster, when dealing with decent, well built tanks.

ditto on FC in Pvp, it's too slow and takes to much energy. Anything that's got lots of quick knocks and holds, as well as hold breaks and knock resistance and stacked defence. Here is a quick and easy PVP HW build I see many people running.

But I mainly play PvP though and I love making builds, so I have to say, that build above is lacking A LOT of synergies (no offense, Rattbones, if that is your build). There's quite a few things you can tweak to make it 10x better, which I can elaborate on if the OP wishes. But in response to the OP, FC is not lacking at all in PvP. Some crits hit for 8k+ and thats not even counting the fall damage. There is the problem of it costing a lot of energy, no doubt about it, but there are many many ways to get around that. It boils down to 3 factors: 1: Pick your battles wisely. Some are just not worth fighting. Ex: Don't charge a FC against a dodger. Kite melee, and be very glad if they are Dex/Whatever because knocks will make them flyyyyyyy 2: Find ways to fuel your energy. MSA+Int+CD = a lot of energy. Or Dark Transfusion. Or CoAP. Or an active offense energy form. Or lots of End and Rec. List goes on, lots of ways. 3: No power is the ultimate attack. Everything requires set-ups and buffs. A Con/Str+Enrage+Imbue FC can 1HK many builds, so don't be frustrated if it's not working out just yet. You'll find that your understanding of your own build and powers increases as your death increases TL;DR: You'll do far better sticking with your own build and tweaking it to suit your playstyle and opponent's rather than asking for a build that will supposedly rip apart people because that doesn't exist.

Yeah I just today got push into a suitable spot for T4. (Was topping off my muntions/ma build to 40. yay, another one.) While I do love Force, I'm thinking it's going to be a rough road. Most I've been taking on in BASH are all about tanks. That's fine. But jesus are they hell to take down. One on one, not a problem. But with the nature of BASH, a 1on1 is rare. I did however, get a BASH belt, so I'm happy. I may play with it more in the next 2 levels when he hits 40, and have some decent gear for the tier. I do appreciate the help though.
