Had a fun experience with my grav controller,teamed with an electric
blaster. I'd flip the foe up in the air and he'd Bolt 'em. Wrote a quick
bind to team-channel "Pull!" when I used Lift, and if he was laughing as
hard as I was, it was a miracle he could hit anything... :)
It's the little things that make low-leveling worth it.

When I was playing around with an FF Defender, I would Hover over a mob, fire
Force Bolt at it and hit Brawl. The KB on Force Bolt would make the mob
bounce off the ground, and when it got up to me, Brawl would go off and I'd
smack it. :-)

Well, it would be nastier if that combination inflicted more than about 8
points of damage...at level 20. I love Force Bolt, but the damage on it is
beyond pathetic.

True but what I use it for is herding ther straglers into
the blaster and tankers AOE
very effective.

Well, it's meant to be a knockback weapon - I use it to keep punching foes
back while I'm working on a lieut or a boss, or vice versa.
Boy, the fighting tactics for Blaster and Controller are way different from
Tanker - tank, just wade in, pick the toughest remaining foe and pound
away. Blaster and even moreso Controller, you have to keep up the attack on
several foes at once. Keeps one on one's toesies... :)

I still do that at level 20 with my AR blaster and a friend's Grav
controller. She bounces 'em, and I nail 'em in midair.
Air Superiority is good for that too, since it flips 'em like an omelet. My
stone tanker was teamed with a katana scrapper last night and our attacks
seemed to work out that I'd bounce them into the air and he'd slice them at
the peak of the bounce.
Definitely great fun... except when you're a level 9 stone tanker, have no
energy defenses, and are in a Hollows Outcasts missions that's almost
nothing *but* energy attacks. Grrr.
