I'll throw my hefty weight in on this subject. I'm currently 38 and literally plowing through enemies (Silver and Gold take a little more focused time). I'm running a hybrid build at the moment composed of mainly Madness. Using a combination of both Death Field and Force Storm it takes me 3 spells to demolish a group of non elites (size doesn't matter ). The basic strategy is to shield yourself, run in and start Force Storm in the middle of them then drop Death Field and finish them off with another Force Storm. The beauty of this approach is Kem V takes little to no damage (yourself included) as most mobs seize up (think shock) and can't attack leaving them open for abuse. I gear myself for Will/Endurance/Crit. On single targets I'll use Force Lightning (which regularly crits for 400+) and dots with a Death Field thrown in to boot (Crits for 1k+). The reason I run in is due to melee types ect and if ranged are spread out I'll use a little Overload to push them in the right direction. All in all I'm loving it. My Build

I'll forgo the option to turn her as at this point I'd rather just kill her. She's cramping my style in conversations on board the ship.
