Critique - Grav/Time - Mids included

Looking for a critique of my Grav/time 'troller. I created the build for some additional damage, recharge, acc, resist and S/L def. She's a concept toon created on blue side so I will not be going rogue just to get a red side epic pool. I chose Psionic Mastery in order to fit in with the concept of the character.

I have looked at a build with Stone Mastery and while I cap S/L Def with Rock Armor, plus add a couple of ranged attacks it's not my first choice. I could figure out a concept reason for it but I dislike taking powers for benefits over concept. Plus, I hate the look of stone armors. :-/

I expect I'll have to solo her part/most of the time, as she's on Exalted, so I wanted Propel to provide additional attack potential. I do have Blackwand and Nemesis Staff vet rewards to add to her attack chain, as well. I'm not crazy about the four slots in brawl to get the Kin Combat S/L/M bonus but she's low on Def as it is.

For giggles, I looked at putting Lift in place of Time Stop and moving the Brawl spots to Lift. I could 5-slotting Kinetic Crash to get a mag 3 KB/KU protection which allows me to put the Winter's Gift 20% slow resist in Recall Friend. Downside is I lose 3.7% S/L Def with this change. Alternatively I can put damage sets in there for any bonuses I want to boost and leave the mag 4 KB/KU in Recall Friend. All that said, with Hover I'm not sure KB/KU protection is as necessary and slots/inf could be spent in other places.

I know Hami-O's provide a lot of benefit and can free up slots but I rarely do Hami raids so don't currently have any HO's to slot nor do I intend on spending the inf to buy them on Market at this time.

I look forward to your advice. :-)

Too many alts and not enough time.

not much time to respond.

You might consider not going for ANY defense (unless you decide on a defense armor).

I would focus on generously slotting your many excellent powers.

Grav Anchor proc is marvelous in CF

Level 8: Crushing Field

  • Trap of the Hunter - Accuracy/Recharge
  • Trap of the Hunter - Accuracy/Endurance
  • Trap of the Hunter - Chance of Damage(Lethal)
  • Positron's Blast - Chance of Damage(Energy)
  • Impeded Swiftness - Chance of Damage(Smashing)
  • Gravitational Anchor - Chance for Hold

gotta run!


perma jump is ---> /up 1

I appreciate the feedback. Will play with a non-Def build and repost. Also, I'd wavered about muling CF but I think you're right. Should have built it with the procs instead.

I don't mean to shanghai your thread...but I'm shanghaiing your thread...

I too have a Grav/Time controller that I'd like some feedback on. Since the tweak to Gravity I've changed things up a bit. Now my attack chain typically goes: Wormhole > Grav Distortion > Lift > Propel. I throw around a thick layer of Distortion Field, Crushing Field, Time's Juncture, Time Crawl, and Farsight. Of course I have my Singularity out to draw fire and to do all the wonderful things that Singularity does.

Since the tweak, and gaining my Singularity, I've been able to solo without too much problems, as long as I take my time and pick off my mobs smaller chunks at a time. Thank goodness for Wormhole.

Feedback welcomed.
