Dimension Shift is actually a phase power. At one point it was mechanically similar to Detention Field, applying Only Affect Self and Untouchable, but now it uses the Phase status. There's two benefits to this: you can phase (via Phase Shift or the temp power Ethereal Shift) and affect enemies you've hit with Dimension Shift. The second, and greater benefit, is that there is no Phase status protection; if Dimension Shift lands the hit it will phase the enemy, even a +5 AV or a GM. However, they will not be immobilized and the visuals are a bit wonky, but the enemy will still be unable to affect you.
As for Detention Field, controllers actually have a better version than defenders. A controller's Detention Field is mag 7.45 while a defender's is only 5.96. That means a controller can detain even level EB's with a single shot and the afore mentioned +4 AV's. Defender's cannot.
I finally got around to respecing my ancient grav/ff and decided to pick up Powerboost (Why did I have Ice Mastery again? Hibernate?)
Holy!?&! This thing has numbers. 31.3% bubbles. Recharges in under a minute. My AOE hold thinks its 2004. THIS is my alpha slot, my coming storm.
Also, that sound you make when the universe lifts up an entire room full of helpless rikti is still moneh. Dimension shift + Detention Field can imprison a +4 AV. Moar!
