Help me decide please

As an FM main myself, i can try to provide you with my (very limited) view on the class and playstyle. As FM you have to manage resources and do it well, both in and out of PvP. You can always do the typical spam and pray, but it wont get you very far as your damage is low without proper resource and stack management and your combos are near impossible to do without knowledge of what you're doing. Force master is a glass cannon but has decent defensive options (even if they're more scarce than the other classes) you have a projectile protection which lasts a good while and is on a reasonable cooldown, a heal/ice block which, when spec'd correctly, provides 30% heal+more on resisted damage taken on a 3 minute cooldown, and you have 2 dashes which will teleport you behind enemies if used properly. In PvP the force master is alllll about stacking chill, freezing, stunning, and applying pressure as force master FEEDS on momentum. It can be overwhelming for both the player and enemy trying to keep track of what's going on. Personally, i get a rush from the fast-paced, highly involved combos and i believe force master to have by far the most intense combo game. If you lose momentum as FM though, you will be left in a tough spot as it's hard to regain the momentum. One issue i have with FM is the lack of CC avoidance/breaks. Your options on knockdown, stun, daze, and root are generally limited and requires you to play carefully with deciding when to, and when not to break the CC. Overall, i think that force master is a nice, high skill ceiling class that has a nice learning curve and rewards understanding of your mechanics =) hope i helped!
