How Are Gremlins Working Out?

From the reports that I am reading, Gremlins appear to use powers that 1) interrupt the Sleep from Static Field and 2) cause Knockback, which can remove baddies from the aforementioned Static Field so carefully laid down.

Since the Elec AoE Immob does NOT negate Knockback, how does one deal with these issues?

The other question is whether the Gremlins add enough Damage to the mix. It is not uncommon for Controller to not have much damage until lvl 32 and the Pets arrive, but do the Gremlins fill in this gap for the Elec set?


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Yes/No.

They do interrupt sleep, sort of, but not like a rain power or DoT would.

They do not cause knockback, at least if you're fighting stuff around your level.

There's not really anything careful about laying down Static Field because it recharges so fast you can replace it easily.

The damage is ok but not spectacular. The pets definitely do a lot to your solo abilities and having them around makes it MUCH easier for me to keep hard targets endurance drained in the absence of other abilities on my Elec/FF. Interestingly, a lot of people have said they find it hard to keep them alive, but at least fighting groups of 5-10 enemies solo I have a much easier time keeping them upright than most of my other trollers do with their pets, even when I don't bother shielding them. Static Field is pretty amazing solo.
