Hey all,
I have made a gravity-themed controller-type and I have some questions about the build. What I am going for is control with the ability to solo PvE. I am imagining these powers as all related to gravity (our hero comes from a neutron star). I am trying to take powers that will stack Manipulator, but it is unclear to me which effects "count" as "stun, incapacitate, paralyze, root, sleep or confuse". For example, does "hold," "chill" or "snare" count? I don't think knockback or knockdown count. For example, Ebon Rift would have fit the theme, but it doesn't seem to stack Manipulator.
Also, so as not to irritate team members, is there a way to negate knockback? Like if I root or snare them does that keep them from flying away?
Here is the build - any recommendations on powers that could be thought of as gravity-like that will build manipulator?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
