Wishes for Modifications in Gravity Control...

Hm. Good point. I wonder, though, if there's a way to make a 'unresistable' phase that can apply even to phased targets? This, if possible, would make a toggle workable. The only issue is that it runs to the issue of bypassing the few eneemies that are supposed to be phase resistant, which could be termed an exploit. Also, phase enhancements would not longer be needed. (Even in a 'normal' toggle they add mag, but an 'unresistable' thing, if it would work, would make this moot.)

I wonder if there's a way to do something like this: 10 second effect duration, three pulses every ~10 seconds that check . 5 seconds apart to see if the target is phased. If so, they phase. If not, they do nothing. This could be a lag issue, but would mean that there's a way past server discrepancies and phase durations to keep the effect. At worst case, if it gave no performance issues, it would mean that there would be small holes in the coverage and a delay when untoggled, but that still seems preferable as a control that you can set the duration on (aside from the 30 seconds) and have active with one application. *Shrugs*

I've always wanted to see a power with an effect similar to a black hole. Location click power, with an untargetable pet that draws a circle around itself. Anything trying to get toward the outside of the circle gets repelled toward the epicenter, and anything that actually REACHES the outside suffers knockback—again, toward the center of the location. Toss in a Mag 2 stun, and you're golden.

A "Pull-in" mechanic is an often requested one, unfortunately the current game engine can't do it.

There's no Reverse Repel or Knockback effect that works toward your character (or target) instead of away from it.

The only possibility would be to summon a pet behind the mob and have the pet cast the Knockback, but there's no way to make sure the pet is summoned BEHIND your target. So just as often as it ends up KnockIN, it'd also be KnockBACK, KnockRIGHT and KnockLEFT with no knowing which it would end up as until it happened.

If you think knockback is hated now, just imagine how maligned such a power would be.

Propel looks awsome but... i dont see how i can throw a forklift into a mob of guys and only hit one person !!! it should be a target aoe gravity is a primal force in the universe an in this game its very meh. since the damage is all smashing i think it could use a damage buff as well

I'd like Wormhole to have a 25 foot radius, like other AoE stuns do. I'd be OK if the Accuracy was lowered to match the other AoE stuns.

I always say and will keep saying the following. For certain powers like Dimension Shift and its ilk they should create an alternate power players can choose from. Sort of a choice from Column A or Column B like you get with a lunch special sometimes.

So this way your not messing with the "cottage rule" and players have something that might be considered more useful for today's gaming. If they never introduced IO's and set bonuses I could see where powers like Dimension Shift might become more important, but luckily that is not the case.

I would introduce 2nd power choices for all questionable powers. Then slowly introduce other choices for more enjoyable powers. At the end you have a New AT within an existing AT and it's a win/win for everyone.

It would also introduce some spice into PvP because it would add some more guessing into which power someone took from a particular set. Is it the old Darkest Night or is it that new power which I am not setup to defend against that well ?

Propel is one of the coolest powers in the game. I love when I see someone get hit by a car or some light pole. But the cast time is darn long and should be changed / fixed.

I find it mildly amazing that with all the sets that've received fixes, changes and revamps over the course of the game, grav remains unchanged (sans some minor activation time changes.) It's too bad, because I really like the look of the set visually, but can't stand playing it.

The other thing is that people, somewhere, apparently like grav/ and think it's "fine." Can't understand those folks, but I'm sure they'd become pretty vocal if changes were ever proposed.

I think a decent sort of a quick fix would be to have singularity spawn two pets, rather than just one.

another problem with gravity IMO is wormhole. as a opening aoe stun its horrible . it requires too much set up and it scatters weaker mobs its just too much work and not enuff pay off

Couldn't you approximate the "pull-in" effect with a pseudopet that cast teleport foe?

Like, locational aoe style field that tries to port mobs inside to the center of it?

you know, I'm not actually sure how useful that would be
