Requesting Build Feedback (Grav/Dark/Mace)

wRECk69 · May 4, 2023

Hello, everyone!

I'm a forum lurker, and have been reading a lot of great comments on gravity 'trollers and the darkness affinity (DA) secondary. I'm currently leveling up my Grav/Dark, mostly solo, as I intend to make him my main (badge hunter, do it all, etc.). My build focus was to be solo capable, team friendly, recharge focused (and, by extension, defense oriented), and capable of locking down targets and arresting them fairly quickly. I went with the DA secondary so that I could eventually take on AVs and, possibly, GMs. I grabbed the Sorcery power pool to help with Singy and, since I invested in it, picked up arcane bolt. Anyway, with that all said and without further ado, here's the current build iteration (using the very latest Mids):

NOTE: I reverted and used an older version of Mids to post the build--see a few posts down for the complete build!

Hey buddy, I'm afraid I get an error when I try to open the attachment.

Try this: File >export >forum export > Yes (to full build) > leave the default options selected and "export now"

Then just paste it into your post. It will be a giant post and there is probably a more efficient option but that will post the data chunk that ppl can copy and open in mids.

Here is a grav/dark build I've been working on, it's an adaptation of my fire/dark and its very tanky but I think I need to adjust it to give more slots to wormhole and maybe work Crush or Dimensional Shift into the mix. Not sure yet, It's a work in progress, I haven't built it yet, just theorizing.

This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7

Thank you for the build and response, mistagoat. Unfortunately, the latest version of Mids no longer has the Forum Export feature. I'm going to try and get a previous version up-and-running so that I can rebuild my character in it and then export the build. I'm guessing the new .mbd format doesn't work in the older Mids (which used the .mxd format). I am a little amazed that they removed the Forum Export feature. The new Share Build feature, which I believe will replace the old Forum Export feature, is currently disabled.

Oh wow! Sorry, I didn't know that. Yeah it seems a real shame to ditch a tried and true system.

The build looks good!

If I were to tweak it I'd change a couple things but I think it may come down to preference for the special enhancers in a given set. In Crush, swap in Decimation for similar bonuses but better enhancement values. Same with Twilight Grasp swapping in Touch of Nictus or maybe Dark Watcher for the recharge bonus and extra -to hit. Then Cushing Field, I'd swap in Ragnarocks. It doubles the damage output and since the AOE immob can be spammed I don't feel like the extended immob time that you give up is particularly valuable.

I like your single target chain and I removed Propel in my own build too. Grav is a little lacking in AOE damage so maybe dropping one of the Sorcery powers and picking up Disruptor Blast could help in that regard. Or swapping to Stone Mastery for Fissure and Rock Armor, Fissure is pretty great, it's basically footstomp for trollers with nice AOE range, damage, knockdown and a 6 second recharge. Lastly, and this is easier said than done, but try to drop a little bit of smashing/lethal def and replace it with ranged def to round out your defense a little better.

I'd probably do something like this, the ranged still isn't where I'd want it but after an Agility Alpha its within 1%:

Thanks for the insight, mistagoat! It's a real balancing act when chasing +Rchg to get the +Ranged Defense values up. And this is a very tight build. I'll keep tweaking it, per your ideas, and see what happens! Thanks again!
