I don't know which setting specifically is responsible, but the Force Field Excelsion appearance is NOT displaying when graphics are set to anything under Recommended.
Build looks fine to me. Try to get DP to 10 stacks quickly, and then keep it there. Get Psychokinetic Barrier to 3 stacks and keep it there. Use MM in bad situations.
Also there IS now at least one power in which Kb2Kd does turn off repel, Force Field>Repulsion Field. Maybe also Storm Blast>Jet Stream, I don’t remember.
Did you miss that it stacks up to 10 stacks and can be refreshed easily? Skipping it would be a huge mistake. It gives the set near Regen levels of regen.
All working as intended. The power is actually TWO powers. One fires at the location of your target, the other at the location of your click. They don't HAVE to be the same location. It is a unique ability that lets you mez two separate groups at once.
Devs already said this isn't getting changed in this patch, because those are constructed differently from the new ones and will need different adjustments that there is not currently time for.
That’s not really how archetypes are balanced against each other. It’s not One for One, the inherent against the inherent, etc. It’s total package vs total package. The Stalker inherent does more for the Stalker than the Scrapper inherent does for the Scrapper. A Stalker with no crits is worse then a Scrapper with no crits.
