Move Grav and Mind ST holds to tier 2 and give grav/elec immob's kb resistance

[WindDemon21]

This is obvious and should have been done decades ago but could we please finally get the ST holds on grav and mind moved to tier 2 and the grav/elec immobs with kb resistance like the other aoe immobilizes have.

Wow, still not fixed..

With Mind Control's T1, Mesmerize now doing Deep Sleep, it's darn near a Hold. I do recommend taking it.

It is much better now, but still doesn't change that the st hold should be the available option for tier 2 so you can pick it out of the gate and skip the others if you want to like all other control sets.

Gravs must take lift... Who doesn't want to flop their enemy on the ground? It's also the best DPA ST attack you'll get and it can proc force feedback. It's like a win win win power.

I'm not saying lift shouldn't be in the set, but it shouldn't be forced between it and crush. I've made many grav builds where I wish you could skip it cause I'd rather focus on other powers. And you're not slipping the st hold ever anyway, so it's just to open it up so you're not forced to get lift I'd you don't want to. You can still pick it is at level 2

Even if you have no damage focus it's still really good for proccing force feedback to get things like Wormhole back faster when you have downtime. Sure though, it could be optional with a really active secondary like a Dominator, it would benefit them more than Controllers.

I think you'd need to argue the case for homogenization of power order as I don't think it's a given. There's odd power tier placements here and there, if anything this adds some flavour. Grav, Mind, and Illusion I consider to be unique control sets so I'm not surprised by their de-prioritization of a strictly ST hold at t2.

Regarding the kb res on aoe immob: it would be incredibly strong for grav as knockback is the only thing stopping mobs from getting sucked up into Singularity. I'm not sure if this is a bad thing though as it does give the set a weakness. You at least get KB res with the ST and AOE holds. Powers/sets having non-homogeneity lets them be more distinct from each other, so this may be hard to argue for.
