Redlynne Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 Back in Issue 23 I had a Gravity/Trick Arrow Controller, who I'd started about 2 months before Time Manipulation was even announced, I remember at the time agonizing over whether to reroll for Gravity/Time or just keep going with what I had. In the end, I stuck with Gravity/Trick Arrow, but was ultimately unsatisfied with how the primary and secondary played together. So I've always wondered what would have happened if I'd gone ahead and rerolled for Gravity/Time instead ... and this build is the answer to that question. One of the drawbacks/weaknesses of Gravity Control is that it doesn't do a whole lot of actual lockdown controlling aside from a fraction of its powers. What I mean by that specifically is that Gravity tends to be short on powers that "prevent" damage from being sent out from your $Targets to yourself and/or your team. Fortunately, Time Manipulation makes it possible to substantially mitigate that shortcoming through a combination of Time's Juncture (PBAoE toggle), Distortion Field (Target AoE click) and Farsight (PBAoE click) to do a combination of ToHit Debuffing, Recharge Debuffing and Defense Buffing. With sufficient Recharge Debuffing, it becomes possible to "ghetto hold" large numbers of Foes without resorting to Gravity Distortion Field and mitigate a very large amount of potential incoming damage. Additionally, it becomes possible to stack enough Hold MAG from Gravity Distortion, Time Stop and Singularity (also casting Gravity Distortion) to be within striking distance of achieving the necessary MAG 56 Hold stack to be able to enforce a Hold through the Purple Triangles of Doom on a single $Target if given sufficient time to do so (about 45+ seconds of animations) and not "distracted" with needing to deal with incoming damage. You will notice that in this build both Lift and Propel have been slotted with the Force Feedback proc in order to allow both of these powers to act as "accelerators" for the overall recharge of the build. However, if desired, the Force Feedback proc in Lift can be easily swapped for the Decimation Build Up proc instead. Owing to the fact that Propel can (now) "splash" Knockback onto additional Foes in proximity to your $Target, this makes for the best candidate "AoE-ish" power in the build which can be rapidly recharged and used as part of an attack chain rotation. One other thing to take especial note of is the slotting of the Overpowering Presence ATO set into Wormhole ... and specifically its proc for summoning additional "allies" to attack whatever $Targets you'll be pushing through the Wormhole. Use of this set on an AoE power like this increases the chance to proc the summons, hopefully increasing the odds of successfully summoning them when using Wormhole, which would make for a very interesting combination I'm thinking. If you want to see what this build looks like with maximum Level 50 Purple IO slotting, simply load the build into Pine and use the Flip to Alternate feature on the slots. Enhancement Levels are deliberately set to provide the broadest range of Exemplar Levels for set bonuses to be active (24+ and 28+) while still delivering acceptable amounts of basic enhancement performance (essentially "SO-ish" quantities). The frankenslotting of Chrono Shift may be of interest to others building for Time Manipulation. Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.

Redlynne Posted May 21, 2019 Author Posted May 21, 2019 Just for reference, I show the "endgame" 50 budget build so as to give you an idea of what you're building towards ... that way you can sub in Common IOs (or even SOs, in a pinch) while leveling up for the Set IOs if necessary. The really key thing you want to pay attention to is getting the number of slots right, since changing slotting allocation means burning a respec. Still, whatever makes you comfy ... Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
Fedifensor Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 One other thing to take especial note of is the slotting of the Overpowering Presence ATO set into Wormhole ... and specifically its proc for summoning additional "allies" to attack whatever $Targets you'll be pushing through the Wormhole. Use of this set on an AoE power like this increases the chance to proc the summons, hopefully increasing the odds of successfully summoning them when using Wormhole, which would make for a very interesting combination I'm thinking. One problem with this is that Wormhole doesn't cause aggro. Sometimes I just want to rush through a mission, and I use a combination of flight, stealth, and Wormhole to avoid combat. Having foes aggroed from the proc triggering isn't always a good thing. Maybe put the Overpowering Presence proc in Crushing Field, instead?
Redlynne Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 One problem with this is that Wormhole doesn't cause aggro. Sometimes I just want to rush through a mission, and I use a combination of flight, stealth, and Wormhole to avoid combat. Having foes aggroed from the proc triggering isn't always a good thing. Maybe put the Overpowering Presence proc in Crushing Field, instead? It's certainly a thought. It would mean turning Wormhole into a 1-slot wonder of a power in order to transfer the enhancement slots over to Crushing Field, but it would almost mean that Crushing Field would be more usable in combat (shorter recharge, less endurance cost, etc.). If anyone has put the Energy Font IO into Wormhole, can we get any confirmation/info about this interfering with the "non-alert" to affected $Targets aggro state? Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
Redlynne Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 The proposed alternative build slotting Overwhelming Presence into Crushing Field rather than into Wormhole. Interestingly enough, this turns Crushing Field into a Target AoE 1 minute duration Immobilize power ... with a recharge time of less than the animation time of Propel. This then makes for a bizarre possibility of being able to "spam" a chain of Crushing Field/Propel on repeat (for as long as your Endurance holds out) to get as many proc chances for Energy Font in Overwhelming Presence as possible in as short a time frame as possible. Pretty much everything else in the build remains unchanged from the previous iteration. Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

Dahle Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Alright, here is me being completely lost and forgetful, what is the Energy Font from Overwhelming Presence do? Thanks I play where my toons are... and they are everywhere. But Everlasting is my current main home. Come on by my base GOLD-11404. And, yes, most of my toons start Gold Side (Bold Side)! If you want to make a fortune of Inf in City of Heroes, watch my guide on the Auction House.Or come on by and visit my Discord. I run my theme groups there and chat with Twitch viewers in voice there. And lastly, come see my on Twitch. City of Heroes is my main game!
Redlynne Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Alright, here is me being completely lost and forgetful, what is the Energy Font from Overwhelming Presence do? Thanks According to what I've been able to glean from sources ... the Energy Font proc has a chance to spawn temp pets that will (presumably) attack whatever they procced onto and proceed to attack. I'm assuming it works like a "poor man's Phantom Army" (kinda-sorta maybe?). As for details, that's apparently missing from City of Data so I'll have to find out ... later ... if that assumption is correct. Or someone who has been using it could post in here with their experience using the proc ... Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
kinshiro Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 It works exactly how you described, I tried it because you mentioned in your build and it's amazing. Overpowering Presence + t4 control hybrid that turns your immob into a gaunranteed fear basically makes your Crushing Field into a hold!

kinshiro Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 At one point my crushing field had 3 energy font pets out.
Dahle Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Tried it in the Beta on my fire/storm troller. Just to see, Fire Cages is ona 2.2 sec cooldown. I got 4 of them out. So I'm going to say it procs will in AoE Immobs. But I also did not notice a significant damage increase. I play where my toons are... and they are everywhere.

kinshiro Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 I noticed sometimes the energy fonts spawned near me and required me to move in closer for them to attack.
Dahle Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 I noticed sometimes the energy fonts spawned near me and required me to move in closer for them to attack. Mine all spawned at me and then rushed towards enemies. But sometimes they would freak and go to a different one and then run away. I play where my toons are... and they are everywhere.

kinshiro Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Is Time Crawl the only ability that applies Delay? Do you guys play into this mechanic on your time trollers?
Erydanus Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 At one point my crushing field had 3 energy font pets out. WELLL NOW that is really good to know, namely that it can potentially multi-proc. See me on Excelsior as Eridanus - Whisperkill - Kid Physics - Ranger Wilde - The Hometown Scrapper - Firewatch - and more!
Scientist Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 One problem with this is that Wormhole doesn't cause aggro. Sometimes I just want to rush through a mission, and I use a combination of flight, stealth, and Wormhole to avoid combat. Having foes aggroed from the proc triggering isn't always a good thing. Maybe put the Overpowering Presence proc in Crushing Field, instead? Wormhole doesn't cause aggro any more? You can just mass TP and stun foes? Last time I was using it they all shot at me even before it triggered, interesting. . .
Redlynne Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 Is Time Crawl the only ability that applies Delay? Do you guys play into this mechanic on your time trollers? Yes, only Time Crawl applies Delay. Use of it is less "needed" on a Controller, simply because lockdown mitigates the "need" for Time Crawl, but being able to put Time Crawl onto "hard" targets (like Elite Boss and up) would certainly be beneficial in a wide variety of situations and matchups. Wormhole doesn't cause aggro any more? You can just mass TP and stun foes? Last time I was using it they all shot at me even before it triggered, interesting. . . Correct. On the Homecoming servers here Wormhole does not draw aggro. Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
Guffnat Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Time Crawl has been really handy for me fighting "hard" targets like Redlynne suggests. "Hello, Silver Mantis". back in the days: Zukunft (EU) ... nowadays: Everlasting
Scientist Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Level 32: Singularity (A) HamiO: Endoplasm Exposure (+2 Acc/Mez) (33) Expedient Reinforcement - Damage/Endurance: Level 31 (33) Expedient Reinforcement - Accuracy/Damage/Recharge: Level 31 (33) Expedient Reinforcement - Endurance/Damage/Recharge: Level 31 (34) Expedient Reinforcement - Resist Bonus Aura for Pets: Level 30 (34) Sovereign Right - Resistance Bonus: Level 25 A suggestion for an alternative slotting for Singularity, in place three Expedient Reinforcements, is two Peroxisomes (Damage/Mezz) and a Soulbound Allegiance (Damage). That lets you max out both its Hold and its Damage. You give up 6.25% recharge time, but between a Superior Will of the Controller set and a purple Stun set in Wormhole, I was still able to get 120% global recharge. I've found anything that goes much past perma-Hasten usually brings something useful back up in time for when I need it. :)
Redlynne Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 Interesting alternative .... Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.
Maldroth Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Time Crawl has been super handy to augment the other Time powers that affect enemies if I need that boost but I don't slot it and put just an Accuracy/Slow in there boosted to +5 and that has been enough. What is really handy is if they are in a Distortion Field then that becomes a hold, if I used Time Stop it increases the magnitude. Slowed Response? Bigger debuff. And I've noticed you can apply that out of order to get the boost. You don't need to lead with Time Crawl. And of course it has that -regen components coupled with other debuffs once i get them all on a hard target I notice their HP drop much faster. 1
