Singularity!!!

[golstat2003]

Good lord this pet is incredible! never knew it was that good. The puffy glow ball has now replaced imps as my favorite pet. LOL

I never had one Live and have had two on HC; the first was a troller that somehow I never super connected with and never reached past 40, now I have one on a Dom who's hit 50 (and whom I really should get around to adding to my sig).  It really says something about how useful Singularity is that it outshines the fun of a power that allows you to throw forklifts at people's heads (bonus points for throwing them at people's heads after your Singularity has thrown them high into the sky).

Funny thing is, you really don't realize how wonderful Singularity is until you find it fighting an Elite Boss, alone, and winning.  

 

Plus, being able to charge forward and know that you will not have to deal with ambushes from behind is wonderful.

Did you know you can stand inside it?

Yes, because I keep finding myself doing that and noticing out of the corner of my eye how mobs run up to wail on me and just go flying without me having to lift a finger, it's wonderful.

Apparently it has a special "repel" mechanical which can't be converted to knockdown, unlike the "Repel" power itself, which looks like a singularity vfx.

 

Singularity is one of the best pets. One downside is that repel can be annoying to your teammates or leaguemates in certain situations.

Singy is easily the best pet in the game, nothing really comes close to it.

 

Practically carries the gravity set.

The power Singy has is Repel. Do KB>KD IOs not work? The pet may not inherit certain enhancements (like recharge).

[Cidri]

A fun trick is to use the singularity as a ghetto control power. You can rez it at range, meaning you can rez it among enemies for maximum chaos.

 

I would not do this on most teams. 😮

The KB->KD IO's don't work in it. I've had it explained to me by others that it was because the power looks like Repel, but isn't, or is a special pet-only version of it.

@ScarySai:  "... nothing really comes close to it."

That would be the Repel Power folks were talking about.

KB to KD enhancers do work in Singularity's Repel. You want to make sure you slot Sudden Acceleration and not the Universal Damage set KB to KD. Repel doesn't cause damage so won't inherit from Universal Damage.

 

An effective trick is to slot KB to KD in Wormhole and Singularity and WH the enemies directly on top of Singularity so they bounce in place. The sound effect might melt your sound card though.

I will check this out as soon as I can! 🙂

 

Confirmed; putting in the Sudden Acceleration KB to KD enhancement makes Singularity's Repel not knock-back, but knock-down instead. #Bestpetevah

Yup this. It's the same reason you use Sudden Impact in the Kinetics Repel power. Mostly because that's what Singy is running. Soundmelting FX and everything (I dumped Repel on my Kinetics corruptor because the noise was so bad). 

 

I'd forgotten til yesterday what a stroppy bugger Singy can be. They really like protecting you. Mine was starting all sorts of fights last night.

I agree, but I managed to get used to it on my Kin/ defender. I like repel in knockdown mode that much.

[Cidri]

My character Ceiling Cat named hers "Ball of Yarn".

[Clave Dark 5]

That's funny because my cat-themed Dom named hers Cat Toy!

If only they added -KB to Gravity's Crushing Field, that set makes no sense to me without it and because of it, I just can't get in to it no matter how awesome Singularity is.  😞

KB>KD works fine with Singularity's Repel power, which knocks back anything within a 9 foot radius. It doesn't do anything to its Gravitational Pull (which uses the repel status effect), which sucks any foes between 45 feet and 7 feet towards it.

[Andreah]

There are two different KB->KD procs, and it used to be that one worked in Singularity and the other didn't. They might both work now, I don't know for sure.

 

With KD->KB in it, Singularity is AWESOME!!

[Andreah]

If you have Teleport Target, you can port your Singularity pet into the middle of a pile of foes for extra bonus hilarity. 

 

Also, if you're /kin and use Repel, there is a sound mod by Solarverse which makes Repel's sound less annoying. It's listed as "Repel Less Annoying SFX Mod" in City Mod Installer.

 

Edit: Also good if you just team with kins who use Repel often.
