Grav/Kin questions: PvP and PvE

Posted

I want a Controller, and I'm quite interested in a PvP type, as I've not done much PvP before. I would go Illusion/Kinetics but they are so common it hurts. So, I think I've decided upon Gravity/Kinetics, which should do a turn in both PvP and PvE (team based in both cases really).

So, the questions are:

How good for soft control is the Wormhole + AoE Immobilise combination? I'd like the pseudo-Hold for use in group PvE situations.

I assume Singularity is the best Controller pet for actual Control, but just how low is its damage? I guess the actual question is, how do you Gravs slot your Sings?


I think I'm pretty much set on the Secondary and know whats its about. Oh, except, is Repel any good? I'm thinking it would be more so in PvP to keep those dastardly melee-types away, but how effective is it?

I'll try and fit the Leadership toggles into the build, and probably Leaping for the little bit of Mez protection, and I'd better have Fitness for Stamina to start with, possibly to be dropped after the acquisation of Tranference

I understand Psionic is pretty much favoured in terms of Epic for the mez protection, but I'd like to go Primal for all the powers really. Energy Blast should be nice in PvP, Conserve Power great if Fitness is dropped, and Power Boost is ... well ... Power Boost ...

Any and all criticism accepted, as long as its constructive :P

Grav is probably the "weakest" controller primary in PvE but it really shines in PvP

Wormhole + Crushing field is very good in PvE-....pretty pants in PvP.

The Sings damage isnt very good at best but I still slot it 1 acc, 3 dmg, 2 holds in PvE and I would slot it 2 acc, 2 holds, 2 immob in PvP

Repel is a fun power but uses quite a bit of end...guess its kinda useful at lowerlvls or solo to keep a boss pinned to the floor...wouldn't recommend it for PvP unless theres absolutely nothing better to take.

You can fairly easily go without stamina after lvl 36 but you should definately keep stamina if you wish to PvP.

/kins primary role in team PvP is being a buffer. You have to ask yourself if that is wanna do? The team will love you for it but being a buffer isnt for everyone.
