Hey all. I have a grav/psi dom going, and im curious about him as a whole, build-construction of course. He is a grav/psi/jump dom, and I don't expect he needs to be a perma-dom, but that's for u to kno and for me to find out. Please tell me. And btw, this is ofc only one of the issues, but do i need to slot health and stamina a lot?

That's a fairly challenging combo, although not as much as it used to be.

Must haves: Gravity Distortion, Wormhole, Singularity, Mind Probe, TK Thrust, Psychic Scream, Drain Psyche, Psychic Shockwave

All the rest is negotiable, but I am partial to Psionic Lance and Subdue.

I know, quoting all of the message might be overdoing it, but it'll all be used.

Why is it that so 'many' are thinking that grav/psi is a tough combo? I don't think it's that tough (although im only at lvl 15), I though thought, will I need Acrobatics when we hav domination?

I suppose we agree that all AoE controls are needed?

Between Psionic Lance and Subdue, I have thought a little about getting mental blast as it (assuming) is a rather strong attack.

Gravity is always a challenging set because it doesn't get a decent AoE Control until you get to Wormhole, and even then what you get is a bit fiddly compared to the straightforward workhorses that all the other primaries get much, much earlier.

Psi used to be seriously underperforming which is probably where the perception of poor performance comes in. Two late blooming sets together is a recipe for trouble. However, I15 gave Psi a significant buff and I think Grav/Psi becomes quite doable because you can lean heavily on your secondary to make up for the poor performance of the primary.

Ok, not that much activity, so I guess I'll have to make the next move. Will I need Acrobatics with domination around?

No, not really. Investment in a -kb IO won't go to waste, but Acrobatics is overkill given that the worst cases (some Bosses and EBs) you'll probably keep Domination for anyway. And with more and more recharge (Doms always want to slot for more recharge, and Hasten is just about mandatory), Domination will be up for a greater percentage of the time anyway.
