Screw infinity. Come to Champion.

Of course they don't have the same views. They spend more time looking at the game through a spreadsheet. And guess what? The players actually *gasp* PLAY the game. And it's pretty damn obvious that pvp 2.0 isn't fun, isn't balanced, and isn't attracting more people to pvp.

Not when I have to go through an intermittent party that takes some of my money for arbitrary reasons.

oh snap son

Hell ******* yes. The new AS looks infinitely better than the current one for MA, EM, and DM.

"I'M TAKING A DUMP!! ERRRR YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Well yeah and it was pvp where there weren't stupid crazy rules. Cold domination actually slows people. lolwut?

The sheer fact that you're attempting to undermind Storm Summoning and Dark Miasma is pretty laughable. I would venture to say you've got little to no idea what you're talking about. Both Storm and Dark Miasma are very powerful Corruptor/Controller/Defender sets and both bring something unique to a team that is quite helpful. Something Pain Domination fails to do in spades.



I feel jipped because Positron basically said it was "villain empathy". Which Pain Dom isn't. It just looks cool as hell but doesn't even remotely do a good enough job as thermal radiation or empathy.

Right cause disagreeing with someone means I'm attacking them.

Yes the guide is well written and I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into it. But inevitably the set it is written about, is a set that lags behind other buff/debuff sets.

Don't laugh. Someone bought one for 1.6 billion.

You're right it's an alternative. Just not a very good one.

You're right again. It brings a lot less.

No it doesn't. Thermal still does.

Forge can be up easily kept on 3 people without much recharge. How many people can one cast Painbringer at any given moment? One at most. Melt armor is a better debuff than Anguishing Cry imo, for the simple fact that you can throw it from a safe distance without having to get within pbaoe range of the enemies. Said corruptor runs the risk of getting killed.
Thaw's slow resistance stacks. Unlike Enforced Morale's +speed component.
Heat Exhaustion's debuff is an incredibly powerful debuff as well.

All in all, pain dom just looks cool. However, it doesn't even come close to being nearly as useful. The devs really screwed this one when they designed this set. I mean really, taking damage from casting Enforced Morale? That's just plain retarded. A pabaoe power that heals for like 10 points? And it's radius is a puny 15 feet. Who the hell is gonna stand within 15 feet of a pain dom at all times to get an extra 8% heal? Or rather, who the hell is gonna run around standing next to the team mates so the team mates get that 8% heal?
World of pain would be cool if it were more like Mind Link.

We don't need more pain doms. In fact what we need are more /sonic corruptors.

Why bring a pain dom when Dark Miasma, Thermal, Kinetics, Cold Domination, Radiation Emission, Sonic Resonance, and Storm Summoning do an infinitely better job at bringing something useful/unique to a team?

I don't hate the set because I never played it. I hate the set cause I got one to 50, and everything it does, thermal does it better. I ended up deleted the thing a couple of weeks ago.

Why bring pain dom when thermal is better? There's nothing it brings to the table that makes one say "hey we need a pain dom".
