Ok so I have NO clue what to do with this build for slotting. I want to be the cornerstone of hard Control and debuffs to help on high level stuff and tne 4 star ITFs. Anyone got a solid build for this combo?

When you ask for a build you should go to Mids and sketch one together.  The forums here are limited to analyzing your build and make suggestions.  There aren't a lot of volunteers to hand out free builds.

 

4* ITF's are a challenge for Hard Control people like myself.  Root and lockdown for foes isn't as easy as it is anywhere else and can leave you feeling unfulfilled as I often am during the hour(s) long slog through endless Cimerorans.

 

In most builds I skip the single-target root but take the Single Target Hold, the Group root and the group hold.  Wormhole stacked with a solid combination of Stun will blitz those groups while you drop other effects on them.

Cimerorans are the antimez enemy faction, and /dark is the set with neither -def nor +tohit to counter their defense buffs and it also loses the -tohit cone that dark miasma (the Corr/def version) gets. I don't know what gave you this impression, but you will be neither the cornerstone of hard controls, nor that of debuffs.

 

That said, Wormhole/shadowfall are always useful, Dimension Shift may actually be valuable on a 4*, and Fade offers not only valuable res but rare defdebuff resist - it is one of the few sources of defdebuff res in the game that can be applied to other players. So while you have picked a choice that is far from optimal, it will still be valuable, provided you play to your strengths - heavy defenses, one of the best rezzes in the game, and the ability to reposition enemies for more efficient killing.

I do.

If there's a build you want ideas on, chances are @JJDrakken has done a lot of the legwork in their megathread in the general Archetypes forum.  I'm almost certain I have a Grav/Dark but I'll be damned if I can find it.

 

 

Anything you can have, we have it.  Even got a devil in the attic.

Haven’t loaded it in Mids, but I like the direction of the build. Fold Space and a Grav/Dark is like Anais Nin writing Presidential speeches. So wrong yet so right…
