Just saying.
On the flipside, you can have your account suspended for frivolous petitions. Use judgment and all will be well.

I was on an ITF and the Emp only had heals and the rez. Was not amusing, but was a couple forming and leading so...

Yeah, will also be going Water Poison. Poison was painful to level back when, hopefully the aoe splash helps things.

They have immob procs now in Incarnates, so no need to spam Tenebrous Tentacles to stop Hamidon from moving away...

Ideally you need a mix. PvP IOs give you extra range, hit points, kb protect...on top of pve bonuses.

You usually want some glad jav procs at the very least...

My Plant Psi's bind:

"What is good Penny? To defeat Nemesis, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their Jaegers."

Gonna be a lot of space platform run at +4 tomorrow.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you could buy individual pieces of Winter's Gift from the elf. If they had a similar vendor (near the popcorn vendor, say) would make things much less grindy...

This.
Accolades are so much easier to get redside there isn't any reason to play heroes anymore.

I haven't started an alt in Praetoria in who knows how long. Annoying foes, incomplete badges (Morality) and 20 levels is just too long over there.

Only one of my characters lacks Hasten, and she got a ton of Recharge from IOs instead.

There is simply zero reason to play without Hasten, unless the yellow hands bother you. It's 70% global recharge. FREE. Sure, you need to take a power pool choice for it, but you're going to take a travel pool and perhaps Leadership or Fighting...then you can take Speed and get quick horizontal movement AND 70% recharge.

It's just ridiculous, it costs nothing but ugly aura around hands...yeah, you better bet I'm getting it on every one of my alts. That's not laziness, it's maximizing efficiency on my characters. It is exceedingly rare that any of my characters go without either Hasten or five Luck of the Gambler 7.5% Recharge. I like having as many of my powers up as possible at all times.
Downtime is death.

^^ This.
You might want to try stuff like the Abandoned Sewer Trial, Lady Grey Task Force or a short Shadow Shard sf to see the zone (Augustine?)...andf if you could get on a Cathedral of Pain/Ms. Liberty Task Force those are nice too.

Some prefer more damage from their Control sets and go for Fire.
Others don't like the Confuses in Mind.
Mind doesn't have an AoE Immob, which turns some off.

I personally love Mind, have a Mind/Bubble, Mind/Cold, Mind/Fire, Mind/Kin, Mind Energy....list goes on. Reading these threads though, it's pretty clear it's perceived as "Weak". Whether it's the lack of certain status effects is unclear, but there you go.

Edit: What Oedipus Tex said. Other sets probably set up Containment/extra damage much better. For my sub fee though, I'll take Mind just for Mass Confusion, which can be up substantially quicker with IOs...on SOs though I can see it not being TOO overpowered.

Gravity:

AoE Immob - Good
AoE Hold - Good
Targeted AoE Stun - Good, but kinda jerky as it comes with Wormhole
Lift - Meh, but does some damage
Propel - Meh, even with Buicks coming out of your hands
Dimension Shift - Situational, meh.
Singularity - Great pet but can KB occasionally, has some nice holds though.
Single target Hold + Immob = Average

Control elements: 4.5 out of 5.
Damage: 2 out of 5, at that. Can't really complain when all the mobs are immobed or held or stunned or...it just takes forever and a day to finish them.

Mind:

AoE Sleep - Handy on some SFs and as a panic button
AoE Hold - Always nice to have
Confuse - Broken power, proc with Contagious Confusion for hilarity.
Mass Confuse - Absolutely over the top on Dominators, excellent on Controllers
Levitate - Meh, it's damage and some KB.
Dominate - Nice single target hold
TK - Good in PvP, very situational in PvE...handy on those Minds of Mayhem runs.
Terrify - Nice status effect, a little damage too
Mesmerize - Meh, single target sleep with piddly damage

Control elements: 3.5-4 out of 5. No Stun, no Immob but boy is Confusion an excellent tool at all levels. Just grotesque at times. TK is a bit of an anomaly in that it can be super broken in some situations and the rest of the time...sits in your tray unless you herd with it.

Damage: 2 out of 5. Terrify, Dominate, Levitate...and Mass Confuse to soften up. Not great here.

Ice:

Ice Slick: Knockdown patch is handy...as long as you don't follow up with an Immob.
Shiver: Might save you from a consecutive series of hits but oftentimes seems mysteriously inefficient.
Single target Hold and Immob: Nothing to see here, SOP for Control sets
Arctic Air: Nice toggle, another area to slot that Contagious Confuse proc...and some nice movement/recharge debuffs too.
AoE Immob and PBAoE Hold: The Player-based isn't too bad...but can still be a pain to maneuver. Since you're knocking down mobs constantly, adds some nice alternate control.
FlashFreeze: It's a sleep, huzzah.
Jack Frost: He's smarter than Animate Stone, in the way Donald Trump is smarter than a hobo.

Control: 4 out of 5. No stuns but you have immobs, holds and knockdown and a sleep. Should cover most of your bases. The -Recharge and - Speed unfortunately don't add to much early in the game as you just plow through mobs like tissue paper. Later on they CAN be useful, but you'd have to be in quite the protracted fight...
Damage: 1 out of 5. Excuse me while I laugh uproariously at this powerset.
Be patient if you build one, I got an Ice/Time to 50 and it was like watching paint dry, slowly. So slowly the paint started chipping.

Preference:

1.Mind - Confusion and more Confusion, nice other tools as well.
2.Grav - Nice hard controls, nice pet and a few damage powers, meager as they are.
3.Ice - I can't believe I actually accoladed and IOd an Ice/Rad Controller, Ice/Time Controller and Ice/Kin Controller. I need help.

FTFY.

I'll be there time permitting.

Fourth after rare Jane forum post.
Will be there with my Stormy.

Some advice:

1)Get Hyper Phase from Warburg or the Ethereal Shift temp from Wentworth's. Use it when you get webbed.
2)Bring a tray full of greens, pop them every 7.5 seconds if you get tagged.
3)Use Sprint/Superspeed if you have it to run away from the Blaster.
4)Use cover and zone geometry to your advantage, if you're webbed then drop under and overpass and wait it out...or hit the highways.
5)If you're on a Brute/Tanker/Scrapper, use Taunt to reduce the Blaster's range considerably.
6)Team. :-)

Also:

Don't think these work in PvP zones.
Even if they did, Diminishing Returns would crush them.

Edit:

Claws, if you form a Duel Ladder make sure you turn off Healing Decay and Travel Suppression in Arena. You might also expect people from other servers to show up on Pinn if it's adverted, just saying.

Well, I can market easily enough. Use the mid-level crisis to fill the coffers, craft and sell the rest. Nothing too demanding but with the speed I level it's sometimes necessary to put the brakes on to recoup the time investment.

Yeah, our gear grind is NOTHING like theirs...thank goodness for that!
