I have to admit, most of my grav/ doms seem to find themselves paired with /elec. No particular reason. Cold and Energy are both (IIRC) going to give you power boost. Cold and Thorns both have more AOEs than Energy (ISC/Frost Breath, Fling thorns/Thorn Burst/Ripper - and thorntrops if you want to count those) - which will be handy after wormholing a group into a corner somewhere.
If you've got an idea for cold, go cold. Having a concept in mind always seems to help get into a character faster.
i tried an grav/ice, but it was too slow to lvl for me, although relatively safe. this was after playing an ice/fire though. grav/ice is good on the control side between all of the slows and power boost.
i really like the gravity set though, so i'm going to try a grav/elec if i can work out which powers not to get. (unless elec control is awesome, although there will be a lot of elec/elec doms come GR)

I made a grav/energy last night. Not bad. The KB's and stuns in /energy seem to offset Grav's weak control very nicely.
Gravity/Fire isn't so bad and does pretty ok damage in my opinion. The nice thing about Grav is that the primary is filled with skippable powers, enabling you to grab up damage powers from seconadry more easily.
Gravity/Thorns has a nice synergy with Wormhole + Aim + Thorntrops. Hit Aim, Wormhole a mob, toss them on your Caltrops, fire off the damage powers.
Grav/Stone has surprisingly good synergy between Crushing Field + Earthquake. While Seismic Smash + Gravity Distortion, along with Singularity, will allow your stack holds surprisingly fast. My Grav/Stone can easily hold bosses and slow down EB's. (Can perma hold them help from a team mate, through recharge buffs..or hold stacking).

Maybe true, but Gravs weak control isn't really an issue until 12+ I find. Thats when other sets generally take off and when Gravity is left with Dimension Shift |

Hi All,
My altitis has kicked in again and I'm itching to make a gravity dom. I am stuck on secondary. I've already done a earth/fire, and a plant/psi. I really dislike earth assault.
So, can anyone help me pick between cold/thorns/energy? Any ideas what has a good synergy?
Energy seems like a safe bet from the thematic standpoint, but I've also got an idea that could make use of cold. Don't know much about thorns. Appreciate any feedback!
