Not sure if this is a improvement.
went ahead and grabbed some Energy defense.
This is capped with Stealth but the defense will surpress below the soft cap once you start attacking. Flash Arrow should compensate.

IceFracture, one quick thing I saw was that you are going for Ranged Defense. Glue Arrow provides almost no benefit since you have Crushing Field. Why not trade out Glue Arrow for Fire Blast slotted with Thunderstrike? It is slightly more defense, a more useful power and Fireblast can light your Slick in case Fireball misses.
Even with the changes, I'm not convinced that Dimension Shift is worth taking. Consider taking Combat Jumping.

Thanks for the reply! I will take fireblast into consideration Local Man. Thank you!
I have to agree with local, I don't think DS will be worth taking.

My experience with Trick Arrow is from my Illusion/Trick Arrow and a TA/Arrows Def, and my experience with Gravity is with a Grav/Storm (after trying several other combos with Grav). I don't have direct experience with Grav/TA, but I agree that TA is probably one of the better secondaries with Gravity.
I have tried Flash Arrow and I'm unimpressed. My TA/Arrow Def still has it, but I'm still not impressed. Consider putting a Celerity Stealth in Super Speed and then dropping Flash Arrow. Full invisibility from Super Speed will let you lead Singy into battle to be your tank, and then you can back off to fire your arrows from range. I have Crush in my build, but I skipped Lift. (Mine is a mostly solo Grav/Storm.) The changes to Lift make it more appealing, so I may look at my build to add it back in. However, one advantage of Crush is that it sets Containment if GD misses. It also does OK damage over time.
I slotted GD with 4 Baz Gaze, an Acc/Dam Hami-O and a common Damage. GD can add some decent damage since you use it so often.
By the way, if you keep Flash Arrow, it does not need Accuracy except in PvP. You should slot it with either a ToHit Debuff or Recharge.

What I like about it is that the -tohit is unresisted. This is a very cool feature of an otherwise so so power. This means that you can get approx -7.5% tohit for your entire team and it doesn't matter what you're fighting. This is a better tohit debuff on an AV than Darkest Night from a Dark Fender (the same as you would get from DK and fearsome stare if they were unslotted) due to the crippling of debuffs that AVs can do (80% if I remember correctly). Against anything else, you can look at it as a starter 7.5% Defense on your way to capping or helping on Itrials for your team, whathaveyou. The stealth is nice, but for me not really a selling point for this power.
If you don't like the power you don't like it, but I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of a different perspective on it.
I have a level 40 gravity/TA controller I'd like to start messing around with since the new changes to gravity are coming out. I was looking to build something with good ranged defense and a bit of recharge so I could do the whole wormhole+oil slick quite often. I do have this build I created on MIDS. I am by no means an expert with IOs and such. I believe with flash arrow this could cap ranged. Probably will choose spiritual alpha to help with the recharge..or Agility maybe with the rchg and def boost. Any help getting the best out of this combo would be greatly appreciated!
