I have a grav/energy dom currently at lvl 48. I love grav period. My 1st 50 was grav/kin troller and i loved every second of it. The added dmg as a dominator and the style of grav is alot of fun. Only moves i skipped were propel(i know its fun but not very useful with all the energy blasts.) Dimension shift. and the snipe. If you want more AOE go force or fire EPP.
Mine isn't energy but fire assault but share the same primary, Gravity. I really like it and despite all i can read about AoE controls, i don't find i lack anything.
I use lift instead of the ST root.
I use a lot the AoE root with a Hold proc (purple) in it.
I LOVE (!) Wormhole a lot. With a purple set in it and domination up it's godly. Just send an AoE root first and nobody moves away when the power "explodes". And it's just too much fun to throw an entire pack in the air and sing "It's raining men".
At 37th now. Just have SOs. This guy is already rocking the house. Granted only about 1/2 as effective as a Permadom. amazing change from my obsession with Brutes. or even my many attempts at more "traditional" doms. My last was a mind/Psi i ran up to 38 and had Perma'd (barely). This guy is just fun. Maybe not as utility as a straightforward Dom, but so many fun powers. And coming off another long stretch with Brutes, you gotta be impressed with Doms damage.
I absolutely love using wormhole on a held crowd. They seem so sad afterward.
I literally cannot wait to get to 50 and add the "real" enhancers and unwind this guy with a (maybe damage) Alpha slot. I am sure he will not only be funny thing, but kick like an irritated mule.
I understand this isn't one of the most favorite Doms. My 1st Dom was one, and it was a rough transition from my normal Brutes. Made it to about 38 before I started Bruting again. I have run about 10 different Dom builds to 25th. I've played a few years, and really want to have a good Dom in my stable.
I have pretty much decided on Grav/Energy 99.9% as my 50 Dom. I really like the powers and effects. It fits my concept extremely well. I think i shall have a lot of fun with it.
Does anyone have any insight to the build? I understand to avoid Propel (too bad, cause its just funny) I may throw it in just for hoots if I have room. The build is obviously different from most Doms due to Dimension Shift and Wormhole. It's also obviously a little light in AoE damage. Still, this is where I am going, so anybody who has knowledge i would love to hear from. What powers are unnecessary, how to use, etc.
Already have a plan for Pera'dom on the guy, stripping sets from my few other doms to make one good dom.
