How sturdy can a Grav/Time/Primal controller be made?

Sykar · May 4

As the title suggest, I am interested in making my Grav/Time/Primal controller very sturdy. So far with Hover, Maneuvers, Power Boost+Farsight I can up all my defences except Toxic, which is at a meager 7%, to 35% against ranged and 32% for the rest. I have 47% S/L resistance from Temp Invul.

Set wise so far I only have 6 slotted my Gravity Distortion with Will of the controller. As for incarnates I am running Agility in my Alpha slot atm because endurance is an issue for now.

I just want some pointers as to where I can get more def from and maybe up my resistances but I am unsure what enhancements and incarnates are advisable here.

Here's what I did. I found it to be sturdy enough. *Caution: It was made with an older version of Mids*

So how sturdy was this build?

Bionic_Flea · May 4

It soloed x8 and AVs. Sturdy enough for me.

Sykar · May 4

That is pretty sweet.

I've got an Illusion/Time controller and a Fire/Time corruptor and I hit the 45% soft cap on both (easier on the controller due to better values for Power Boost). First, you want to slot the Steadfast Protection and Gladiator's Armor +def uniques in Temp Invul, which will provide 6% defense. You also want to be looking for set bonuses that provide ranged/melee/aoe defense. Keep in mind that Time's Juncture provides -tohit that stacks with your defense, but it requires you to be in melee range.

Thanks. How do I acquire those uniques? Random drops or can you farm them from a specific enemy?

They do drop occasionally (Steadfast will only drop from lvl 10-30 mobs), but I generally buy them at the Auction House.

Random drops or buy in AH

Bionic_Flea · May 4

Or buy with merits. Steadfast is only 20 reward merits for the recipe in the ATM or Merit vendor.

Sykar · May 6

I cannot find Steadfast from the Merit vendor. Are you sure it is sold there?

You have to set the level to 30 or below.
