Wasn't vectored KB/KD supposed to fix KD powers from scattering? Or are the KD powers in MA not vectored?

Good to know, I hadn't gotten that far on my character yet. I will probably work towards the unbreakable restraint proc, with whatever is cheapest until I can afford that.

I think the consensus was the -MaxHP wasn't really worth it, and there are other options for -Res if your build is tight.

Also seeing the same for Perf Shifter. I do see it proc often with lots of targets, but combat log indicates that end is going to the targets of the bubble, which could still be nice, just not what I expected. Will have to see how the build plays out and if I'll keep it in bubble or not.

Ok, think I got just about everything. Missing out on about 3% accuracy against +4s, but think I should be alright. Think this is the build I'll work towards unless anyone comes in with something groundbreaking. Thanks again to everyone for all the helpful suggestions. https://api.midsreborn.com/build/download/FjuyAAuIBKsms6Sm

Thanks, looks pretty good. I have blinders on sometimes. I am always looking at positional defense and not thinking about typed. Going to have to integrate a lot of these changes into my build, maybe see if I can keep the travel power.

I appreciate the suggestions. Toroidal Bubble is right at the edge of diminishing returns for resistance, and adding another slot gains very little. I replaced shoal rush with whitecap, and brine, which was an afterthought, with tactics. I shifted a couple of sets around and it is a little better, but still would like to see my defense numbers be a little bit higher. It feels like I should be able to drop some of my S/L res to gain that, but I haven't had much luck finding what I could change to do so. Here's an updated build link if anyone has further suggestions https://api.midsreborn.com/build/download/FjnFhldYuRb1ad5P

Played around with a build similar to this during the beta, and it did alright, but I know I'm not great at creating builds and I'm sure I'm missing out on some survivability and damage. Hoping some of the experts here might have ideas on how I can shore up this build. Thanks.

This is essentially how I try to use it. I'm not using it every spawn, or even every team, and look for the best ways to use it like with wormhole or an ambush. But sounds like there is no removing the stigma that it is a bad power, at least in pugs, and I should just shelve it to avoid the grief.

Maybe if I used it out of nowhere but I give warning when I join groups and info on the power. And I think an unresistable immobilize is great in a lot of situations.

I love my grav troller, but I hate playing him because of all the grief I get from other players. Between players that don't know about the changes and think they can't attack at all, or ranged players who don't want to take a step forward (even if they're in melee range 80% of the time anyhow) all I hear about is how bad the power is and that I'm an awful person for using it. I try educating those that are confused about the power, but that rarely seems to change opinions. How can we remove the stigma associated with this power?

Good suggestion. Since I use the free camera rotate way more than I do the right click menu, is it possible to remap the right click menus to another button?

For the last couple of months I have been having issues with my right mouse button in game. When I try to move camera I often have it pop up the right click menu on teammates and enemies. This has lead to me accidentally kicking teammates, adding them to ignore, etc. I originally thought it was my mouse failing, but after testing in other games, I am unable to reproduce the issue. I asked in games today if others had experienced this and at least one other has seen it. It seems that the game does not want to maintain the hold on right click. Any suggestions on improving this? I really want to stop being the accidental jerk who kicked a teammate for no reason. Thanks.

I skipped burn because I want to be at range as much as possible. I took Dual Wield because its the defensive opportunity attack and I think I read that Executioner's outperforms Suppressive when ammunition is used, so chose it over Suppressive as the other single target attack. Wanted weave early, though looking at it, does make sense to take it at 18 and push the fighting pool down. I agree that healing flames is underslotted. Though I figured between it, cauterizing and warmth healing would be pretty well covered.

I've seen a couple posts talking about DP/Fire, but no builds. Took a shot at a build, but hoping some of the experts here can help me clean it up a bit. Thanks.
