New player looking for help on beam/Bio bug theme

[Paneth]

I'm new though I did play a while on Live back before shutdown, still its been so long I've forgotten just about everything when it comes to building, though that isn't new as I've always been a bit rubbish when it comes to builds, too many shiny things to click on!

 

I thought I'd start with a concept first so I decided 'Alien bug' and figured I'd do Beam/Bio as that fits what I have in mind. Problem is, I have no idea where to start with this. I know I want hover (as I want flying for the theme anyway) but aside from that? Nada. I learn best when I see a build and after I play it a while I tend to make my own changes. What help I'm looking for is a build to get me off the ground to level to 50, and if possible one after that. I tend to solo mostly so I would want the build to reflect that. Any help would be welcome (powers to avoid, what ones would need to be focused on more).

First sent i made was beam/bio. Bio benefits from massive amounts of recharge to get ablative/parasitic (this is a skippable power)/rebuild dna (also skippable if you have sufficient end/regen/def/res built in). Instant skip for me has always been athletic regulation, it does say it provides def debuff resistance but i always run in offensive mode so it becomes irrelevant.

Beam suffers from a lack of aoe til disintegrate kicks in so playing the toon til you figure out that mechanic should be a priority and for that to work you need tightly bunched mobs which you can get 3 different ways. Fold space/hover above them til they gather under you/team with a herding tank.

What you take from the primary is up to you all you really need is aim+overcharge+disintegrate+lancer shot.

I think i respecced it since the last page but still couldnt find a way to fit in epics so it kind of took a back seat to /rad sents and the always unstoppable fire/bio:
