Grav / ? (Domis / 'Trollers)

[SteelRat70]

General question regarding Grav control really.  I've been reading around that it's the weakest set in terms of raw control, however it does still seem to be quite popular.

 

Questions then are really:

 

1 - If it lacks the control options of the other sets, what else does it bring to the party?

2 - Are there any recommended pairings for either Domi or Controller that would give "satisfactory" performance (I'm talking can solo pretty well, but doesn't have to be a farm monster)? 

 

I have a low level Grav / Psi Domi, have read good things about Grav / Time Trolly's and do quite like the idea of the chaos and debris that a Grav / Storm would entail.  Open to other options though and at a push I can make pretty much any combo stick thematically ;)

People tend to go Grav on controllers over dominators for the damage it brings, since dominators would actually go down in dps if they used grav power damage from what I remember (since propel is so slow or something.)

 

The pet uses tons of control, which helps balance it out a bit.  Grav tends to toss critters so be aware of that.  The set works well - I would take it over ice control any day.  Ice control is probably the worst of all dominator primaries in my opinion.

Interesting, thank you.

 

For me, one of the sets defining powers (purely from the point of fun factor, rather than out and out performance) is Propel, so it's a little disappointing to learn that it under performs on Dominators.  Although given that the Domi secondary is largely damage, that does kinda make sense from a balance point of view.

 

What would you pair Grav with on a Domi then?

 

(Note: I have no issue at all with critter toss'age.  I intend to fully slot TK Thrust with KB IOs so that I can play Hellion Golf in Atlas Park)
