A couple of quick, small suggestions that might make a pretty big difference:
I believe that Fly does not benefit from Flightspeed, but even if it does, try slotting that Zephyr -Knockback in Fly. Then slot Super speed with a Celerity Stealth. That gives you full invisibility when you want/need it. I find full invisibility VERY valuable with my Grav/Storm . . . the ability to lead Singy into a group while they don't see you is wonderful. For your teams, you will be able to stealth missions when needed -- even if a glowie is surrounded by a few foes, you can pull out Singy to distract them while you hit the glowie.
Granted, you could get full invis several other ways, but putting a Celerity in Super Speed is the simplest.
Unless you spend a lot of time "hoverblasting," I would consider changing Hover for Combat Jumping. It gives you a small amount of defense without having to be in the air, and the immob protection can be lifesaving. I tend to battle with super speed on, letting me run around the battlefield quickly. CJ can be very helpful to prevent being Rooted.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Thanks for the reply, and appreciate the help from one of the Troller Elder Statesman, as I have often enjoyed reading your posts (my main was Ill/Storm).
Anyway to busines.....
I do indeed start my battles as you have described, with myself invisible, and singy taking the agro, but i use Shadowfall and Superspeed. As I like having SS anyway, and already have Hasten, SS and Shadowfall, lets me not worry about the IO thankfully. I would imagine your Grav/Storm could mimic this effect with Steamy mist and SS.
Now onto your second point.....Awesome.... Just the little thing I was looking for. I thought I had already used all 4 power pools, and was just using Hover as a mule tbh, so that is a great change! A massive Thanks!
Cheers again for you taking the time to post, as in my mind you are a bit of a Legend Local!
P.S Thanks for the tip on Fly aswell. I did not know the enhance fly speed did not work!
Hi all,
I am having a lot of fun with my new Gravity/Dark Troller. My main concern is single target damage when soloing, and Healing and Support when small teaming. I am not interested in raiding tbh. Within this criteria, my main aim was the Ranged Defence Soft cap, and also recharge to the point of perma Hasten. I am pretty pleased with the build below, but am happy to receive any advice in relation to slight slotting tweaks, etc.
Please note that I will not be using any purple sets.
Anyway let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance.....
