Through testing, these are the only powers I've found that build stacks on yourself: Repel -Ads 3 stacks if there are 3 targets affected Entangling Force -Adds 3 stacks if there are 3 targets affected Steal Time -Adds 1 stack per cast no matter what (even if no targets are affected) Shield -Adds 3 stacks if there are 3…
I went with High Vizier because of the defense bonus. With the changes to aggro, I'm going to be a much bigger target now, and that set should help out a lot.
Looking at the patch notes, it currently does the opposite of what it says (giving defense to the mobs instead of taking it). Supposed to be fixed in the Balance Patch:
The post you quoted is almost a month old. The wiki should be able to answer a lot of your questions now, and if it doesn't, message me so that I know what information to go looking for next. http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Control_Wizard#Epic_Armor_Sets

Since we don't know if each spell is considered the same way no matter if it's armor, feats, or another skill that wants to know if something is a "control power," I can't consider…
Both shield and Entangling Force increase AP gain by how many targets are affected. I've used EF in Castle Never on some large groups and gotten full AP with just that.
