My Take on Gravity/Darkness

[plainguy]

Range capped and midway AOE & Melee capped. 

Darkest Knight is used to max out AOE & Melee Defenses. 

 

Range cap allows you to start your attacks at distance and give you protection as you close in and pick an anchor for Darkest Knight.

World of Confusion is there to stave off off some of the Melee attacks. 

Darkness has enough Hit debuff and the set overall has enough stuns to lock down a bunch of mobs.

[Crowcus Pocus]

I'm not sure if you were dead set on keeping Psi Mastery. Here's my take on it, going with Earth Mastery instead.

You'll get the following perks and stats (no incarnates selected)

• Soft capped to ranged, S/L/E/N
• Hasten is 7 secs short of perma, which should be easy to obtain thanks to 3 FF+rech procs in the build
• With hasten perma, you'll also get perma Fade and Earth's Embrace

I've also added in Wormhole and Dimension Shift because there is so much you can do with those powers:

• Wormhole + Fissure or Wormhole + Howling Twilight will stun everything short of EBs
• Wormhole more mobs to your Tar Patch
• Wormhole mobs to a corner and have Singularity repelling them constantly
• Wormhole mobs on top of Fluffy so they get instantly debuffed by its aura
• Dimension Shift is now a TOGGLE, making it much more convenient to use for those oh-shit moments. Plus, it looks awesome.

Here are my thoughts.

 

• Wormhole is a key power, the #1 reason to pick Gravity Control in most eyes. I would definitely not skip it. I would slot a KB to KD IO in to make the knockback in it less of a factor. Then slot for Accuracy/Stun/Recharge.
• Drop Crush and replace with Gravity Distortion. Gravity Distortion animates slightly slower but does the same damage and is a Hold instead of an Immobilize. It also sets up Impact mechanics so you do extra damage. In other words, its a critical power. I would 4 slot with Basilisk's Gaze and then possibly slot damage.
• Drop the proc in Tar Patch.
• Crushing Field should be slotted for Damage and potentially for procs, not for Immobilize.
• Mental Blast needs damage slotting.
• Put some recharge in Indomitable Will.
• KB to KD IO in Singularity isn't required but is very helpful. Then you can Wormhole enemies on top of him for the amusement of all. Make sure you slot the one that applies to all powers, not just damage ones.
• World of Confusion absolutely sucks. Avoid at all costs.
• Psionic Tornado will need slots. Put a Force Feedback Chance for 100% recharge in this power, it will trigger very often.

Not sure why you'd not have 2-3 more Def/Rech in Fade. Its s key power for getting Def soft cap easily. 

[Doc Ranger]

World of Confusion procced out is pretty devastating if you play in the middle of mobs. My Fire/Dk melts mobs with it...and other mob melting powers of course.
