Grav / Rad

[Infinite Zen]

I put this together right after Homecoming came online in 2019, and I need some help tweaking it. My desire is a build that will work well as support at any level. I'm not using this as a farmer or anything because Gravity seems light on damage. I think I focused too much on +Recovery because I absolutely hate being out of endurance, but I don't know the caps and such. So chances are I am missing places where I could get more Def/Res for survivability without sacrificing recovery or maybe even control or damage. Any and all help is appreciated. 

 

Zen Graviation - Controller (Gravity Control).mxd

[Uun]

There's no wonder it feels light on damage - you skipped Lift and Propel and didn't slot Crush or Gravity Distortion for damage. Gravity is one of the best control sets for ST damage.

• Slot Crush for damage, not immobilize
• Drop something for Lift. Lift has the highest DPA in the set.
• 5 slots on AM is unnecessary. It doesn't require accuracy and the set bonuses aren't that useful. 
• Only 2 recharges in Hasten (ideally 50+5)
• 6 slots in Lingering Radiation is unnecessary. It doesn't do damage and the -speed doesn't really need to be enhanced. 2 recharge IOs is enough.
• Chance for +end in Mutation is doing nothing. Slot a recharge IO and call it a day.
• Not sure what the BotZ is doing in Wormhole. Slot a Sudden Acceleration KB>KD instead.
• Power Boost isn't doing much for you. I would consider a different epic.
• Slot the Gladiator's Armor and Steadfast Protection +def uniques

I did a quick tweak on your build and this is what I came up with:

My gravity / storm has a 14 or so second recharge on wormhole.  By time I drop them somewhere, cast my AOE's, I am pretty much ready to track down a different pack of monsters for dropping with wormhole ready to go again.  I was going to do fold space too but just couldn't justify needing it hardly ever in my build.

I don't run it on my grav storm theres plenty of damage from /storm, the rad secondary provides 0 extra dps powers so having 2-3 mobs stacked up for the puny aoe and single target attacks speeds things up and choking cloud provides some extra control, you really can't compare /storm secondary to anything else its in a class of its own.

Rad has 2 debuff toggles and a click that reduces critter damage, defense, tohit, resistance, regen, and recharge. Accelerate Metabolism has a straight up +damage buff and gives mez resistance, recharge, and recovery. Choking Cloud will periodically hold LTs and under, and makes it that much easier to hold a boss. It's a pretty awesome set.

Gravity's bread and butter power is Propel. Hit a critter with Gravity Distortion to trigger both Containment and Impact and it does a ton of damage. Lift also does more damage than most Controller single target attacks. Grav/Rad is a darn good pairing. I've had one since back on Live.

Nothing wrong with /rad i love the set. My point was you can't compare its dps to /storms. Unless you proc out choking cloud the secondary has no extra damage attacks in the way that /storm has with tornado and lightning storm. I wanted fold space as grav/rad has only crushing field in the primary as a source of aoe, if you wormhole 1 mob and fold space a second mob the debuffs will help you out big time in killing speed and you can take 3 mobs at once by stacking them on top of whatever mob you hit first. Comparing rad secondary to storm is like comparing a kin to an emp and saying its a better heal set because fulcrum lets you kill stuff faster therefore you don't need to use the heal.

 

As to the single target attacks, they are the same regardless of the secondary. Grav is far and away the best single target attack set for controllers but its aoe is never going to compare to something like fire.

TECHNICALLY Fallout is a damage power in /Rad, even through it is a pretty stupid situational power that almost everyone skips.  Also, EM Pulse does damage to robots, and you could add some damage procs, too.

But, yeah, /Storm is a great secondary for Gravity -- there is lots of synergy plus good damage from Tornado and Lightning Storm.  Freezing Rain + Crushing Field is almost a fall-down field, giving Gravity some badly needed AoE control.  

Have you ever played "Minion Soccer" with Singy?  Use Hurricane to blow minions back into Singy's Repel and kick them back and forth.

I havent tried ping pong with singy yet, it does sound fun, i usually skip hurricane, i cant stand repel or kb but i may have it on my old grav/storm with just and end red tossed in i might give it a go. Not sure how well it will work i'm pretty sure i tossed in an overwhelming kb/kd in the pet to minimise its annoying attacks.

Hurricane is awesome, but it's highly situational. Ideally you use it to push critters into a corner and lock them down. With a base -tohit of 30% (~46% fully slotted) it pretty much neuters anything it touches. The -60% range also forces critters to only use their ranged attacks unless you're literally right on top of them. Also great for boss+ fights. You can't always corral them if they have KB and/or repel protection, but you can absolutely debuff them. Another good use is to protect the back line from any critters that get peeled off the tank and coming bearing down on the squishies.

The one thing you DO NOT want to do is turn it on and leave it on. I was recently on a PUG where the lead did this, and between him and a PB they were knocking critters all over the place, making my Scrapper's life pretty miserable.

Thats the single reason i usually skip it, its a debuff you never want to see anyone using when teaming unless your taking out a gm/av and there's no mobs nearby. I tend to play mine in melee and use a macro to wormhole the mobs on top of me and the last thing i want is to see that mob splatter while the melee toons say 'f this' and run off to another mob. Players running hurricane on team annoy melee toons almost as much as controllers that open up with their aoe immob before the mob gets into melee range and pin everything down so toons have to run about and take out 1 enemy at a time.

Exactly! I consider Hurricane is a very useful tool if used judiciously.  I keep it on a quick toggle on my mouse, usually bound to button 5. I usually only run it for a few seconds before I toggle it off.  If you Immobilize a group and then hit them with Hurricane's ToHit Debuff, it is almost like an AoE hold for lower level foes.

It makes a nice defensive "Get-Away-from-Me!" power.  I also use it to "Herdicane" - to push scattered foes into a tighter group.  Hurricane is great for blocking doorways and especially for keeping foes away from the Reactor in the Respec mission.

I consider Gravity Control to be a RANGED control set as there are no melee powers.  I like to stand back, often behind Singy so he takes any aggro, while I pick off individual foes with GD-Crush-Lift-Propel.

/Rad's Choking Cloud usually isn't worth taking without another PBAoE power like Fire's Hot Feet or Ice's Arctic Air.  Both powers combine for an effective PBAoE combo.

There are plenty of opportunities to use Hurricane on indoor maps by pushing critters into corners and keeping them there. If anything, melee toons love this because everything is bunched up for them. But it takes a fair amount of practice and skill to learn how to do this effectively. This is much more difficult to do on a wide open outdoor map because everything just scatters.

Wormholing the mob onto yourself with choking cloud is surprisingly effective especially if you already debuffed the boss and use it as an anchor, mobs stunned and the varying mag effect of CC pretty much grabs all the minions and lieuts instantly. You can them immob everything in a very tight area surrounding your debuffs, its simply the fastest way to bunch multiple mobs if you also have fold space.

This does work i agree, based on 2 things. 

 

1: your the first person to the mob

2: The team mates behind you are willing to mop up and not speeding (i haven't seen this happen for a looooooooooooooong time)

It can be very helpful if you're on a PUG with a Brute or Tank who is having trouble keeping everything on him. But yeah, it's very situational, not something you're going to use all the time or even with every mob, as it's not often necessary.
