grav or ice with traps

[Bubbles232]

Looking to make a fun troller for teams cant decide between grav or ice for main power set any help would be appreciated!

Ice got a buff in a recent patch and is a pretty good set now.  That being said, Gravity/Traps has a lot of synergies going for it that Ice doesn't.  Wormhole into a bed of traps is just too much fun.

that was my thought as well just wasnt sure for team play haha

I have a baby ice\traps (in the 30s).  The thing that is kind of fun with it is that because of Arctic Air, it's pretty easy to drop traps, including Trip Mines.  It's ice, while not the fastest arrester, but it works reasonably well.  Either combination will work.  I also have an electric\traps controller and same idea...distract the spawn while I drop traps.  With cold it's the AoE confuse, with electric it's the pulsing sleep.

 

Frosty isn't too bad here since he benefits from the force field generator (since he's defense based).  Basically throw out seeker drones to get some aggro\alpha, run in and drop ice slick and start dropping traps.  Of if it's up, I drop my traps, then ice slick, and then Fold Space.  Ice slick really helps here so that anything which doesn't fall over from this alpha isn't too much of a threat and Jack and I can pretty easily clean them up.

 

It won't win any damage or speed awards, but it works.

I can attest to Grav/Traps being super fun for solo play but having a hard time getting to set up for team play.

Grav/Traps *is* fun to solo with, but what makes it fun toolo (setting traps then using WH/Singularity to force mobs into the traps) is a little too much of a Rube Goldberg operation for teaming, so it plays a lot different in that situation (which isn't as fun to ME but other folks may not mind it.)

 

Ice/Traps is a beauty, especially after the rework Ice got a while back.  Ice has confuse, sleep, fear, and KD that allow you to simply walk into the mob and start laying traps.  It's good stuff that plays in any situation.  If you're not going to run Ill/Traps (best Traps IMO) then Ice/Traps is a good way to go.

Grav/Traps sounds like amazing fun... does anyone have a sample build for it laying around?
