id love to see this.. so I can watch baster get punched in the face a lot... and then complain that the set sucks because they die too much..
Id like to see more sets that help the blaster you know actually BLAST better.. -
I will definitely be making an Illusion/Dark.. I have wanted this combo for years !!!!!!
-
Im stuck on which Fire/Rad combo to make. I thought I wanted a Fire/Rad controller but a Fire/Rad Corruptor combo also looks very interesting.. I think the Controller Epic pool however is very good...
Anyone have any experience with the Fire/Rad corruptor combos.. -
I have a Grav/Time at level 50 already and I enjoy that combo.
I think Grav/Dark will be a very potent combo... very potent.. -
PermaDom should be your top priority not sapping. And I have both an Elec/Elec and an Elec/Psi Dom.
Permadom means your powers recharge faster not just domination and that is going to help your desire to sap simply because you can utilize your attacks more.
also looks like you are trying to buil in some defense. I cant fault you for that but on the majority of my doms I didnt even waste time with that. Stunned, held, Slept mobs cant hurt me.. another reason for permadom.. -
Ive played several controllers on the BAF and havent felt useless at all. I think people just need to adjust to the fact that they made the trials to be a challenge and maybe you do things a little differently. I'll be on Virtue leveling my Grav/Time and Ice/Cold controllers on the BAF...
My Ice/Storm and Ill/Rad have already gotten everything they need from the trials and that is when it was only BAF and LAM. -
I have to agree with Milady's Knight on this one. I have three Ice Control toons.. Two controllers and one dominator and they are some of the more powerful more annoying for mobs toons that I own.
My Ice/Thorn Dominator is a beast and I made one after seeing someone destroy an ITF with one. AA is extremely powerful. I usually open with Ice Slick, then run in with AA on.. between the falling.. confuse.. fear and slow.. I can take my time taking foes apart..
The controllers are Ice Storm and Ice/Cold and are some of the more effective controllers I possess...
My complaint has always been that Jack Frost sucks.. and he is getting fixed.. I didnt take him on the Dominator because I didnt want him creating aggro I didnt want.. -
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah cry me a river.. you used a KNOWN bug and an exploit to your advantage that the Devs said they knew about and were looking for a fix for and now they found a fix and you are gonna cry about it..
Love the way when something is in YOUR favor its part of the game mechanic now ( which its not ) and should be left alone but if it works AGAINST you it should be fixed and the devs are lazy and taking too long..
Sorry I have no tears when you utilize something you KNOW is horribly broken and WRONG and it gets fixed..
NONE... -
Im sorry but I find it hilarious that people are all up in arms about using something that THEY KNEW was completely broken and wasnt working the way it should and now are upset when that thing is fixed.
HO's are now useless ? hardly.. I use them in almost every build along with IO's to very good effect IMO and run everything in the game...
Enzymes will be sold for the cheap.. good. I have a lot of toons that will use those to great effect.. particularly defenders and controllers.. -
Im sorry I glossed the set over and I am very underwhelmed..
I guess ill just level my Mind/Energy Dom because I am not that excited about the Dark Control Dark Assault..
Ill take a closer look when I get home but so far im am not impressed.. even less so because I know that Staff Fighting and Beast Summoning are coming and they look REALLY interesting..
Im not saying that MM's dont need something new.. I play MM's a little and they havent had a new primary in a while..
But come on.. Doms are like the red headed stepchild..
Im going to start playing my Doms more and more so people can understand the awesomeness and want to make them.. hopefully the community will get stronger a sa result.. -
Dominators are lagging behind in sets.. they need to catch up a lot.. Melee keeps getting more and more sets..
-
Incarnate slotting can vary from person to person and from playstyle to playstyle. There is no hard and fast rule that says.. You have this set... you take this.. Its amore about what YOU want out of that slot. I would probably look at Musculature which would push your damage over the top for all your pets and yourself, Spiritual which would give you faster recharge for Lightning Storm possibly getting 2-3 clouds out at the same time, or Cardiac if you have end problems..
-
I think every blaster depending on primary/secondary choice, slotting and the playstyle of the person can yield some interesting results.
Taser My Levle 50 Elec/Elec Blaster is the epitome of the Blaptroller..
I can blast with my three single target attacks.. what three single target attacks you say?? Electric Fence isnt a throwaway attack for me.. I have it slotted with three Nucleos and I will spam the heck out of it.. You might be able to mez me.. but I can get in three attacks every time very helpful..
Blapping.. sure with the awesome combo of Shocking Grasp, Charged Brawl Havoc Punch.... your held.. taking damage.. and here is some more damage for you..
Controls. sure first off I can pop of Short Circuit and Power Sink to pretty much drain anything that is plus 2 to ZERO end.. and thats with regular end mod IO's.. THEN I also have three single target holds.. Boss.. HA.. stand there and take it..
AoE sure.. Ball Lighting and Static Discharge from my APP does very well and if I really wan to take you down.. I can stand at range and throw in Thunderous Blast as a nuke as well..
And NO I dont have a defense IO build.. nope not one defense IO at all but I managed to do just fine...
and Incarnates added more damage through Musculature ANOTHER Nuke in the Judgement power and a new Energy Interface that helps with End Drain ???????? -
Im going Energy Aura myself.. End Drain, Heals, and recharge buff aura sounds too good to pass up..
-
First off I wouldnt have called him Statesman.. horrible name..

Quote:One reason i am avoiding Liquid cooling.. I have looked at some units especially the Corsair H100 but I just dont trust liquid and electronics anywhere near each other.I recent had to build a computer, not because I wanted too but because the liquid cooling unit in the rig I bought from an online dealer leaked.
At first I thought it was my power supply so I changed it out but still nothing. So I bought a new video card and it worked for a day....till the cooling unit started leaking again...this time I had the side pannel off and saw it so I quickly powered down took everything out and did my best to dry it. But the mobo was shot. So I replaced it added more ram and a new fan cooling unit and it works like a champ.
I will definitely build the next computer I use. -
I am making a TW/EA brute and have never tried the Titan Weapons set. What powers are skippable in the set. I dont want to skip taunt, but I dont know the must have powers in the set. I want the defensive sweep and the AoE but dont know about any of the other powers..
Thanks in advance.. -
Just wanted to update everyone who helped me with this
I decided to go with this case.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139009
This had pretty much all the features I wanted and has plenty of room to grow with.
Im ordering it next week. I figure I can order one or two parts a month.
I am looking at the power supplies next... -
They really need to stop tweaking this set and fix it from the ground up..
Dimension Shift is crap and they know it... they should add an option for another power in the set like HEAT's and VEAT's have for those people who for some reason like that power.
They still arent addressing the problem with Wormholes excessive and unnecessary knockback and the fact that I get the crap shot out of me because the stun is applied AFTER they go through the wormhole...
Genuis... -
Nope.. he will jump place to place no matter what you do..

Quote:Hush man.. Mercs suck....It doesn't stack from the same source. A Trick Arrow char can slot it in Acid Arrow and Oil Slick Arrow, and it should stack since the Oil Slick arrow actually summons a pet Oil Slick. A Merc MM can slot it in EVERY SINGLE PET, plus Burst. So a Merc/TA MM could potentially stack it 9 times. Of course TA already has Acid Arrow and Disruption Arrow for a 30% Resistance Debuff. The debuff lasts 10 seconds, and the MM and most pets will attack at least twice in that time, so a hard target will have on average 3 extra debuffs for a total of 90% Resistance Debuff. That could increase by about another buff (20%) if the behavior is broken in Oil Slick and it check every 0.2 seconds, because that would make it effectively perma. Or it could go down by a lot if it doesn't actually work in the henchmen at all.
Why yes, I do have a Merc/TA that I'm currently leveling up. Why do you ask?

Quote:Thanks a lot for the detailed replies guys!
The last thing I'm wondering about is the new Alpha powers. On all my toons I've gone with either spiritual or cardiac. Would any of the new ones be a better solution than those, or at least on par with them?
I think each Incarnate power really depends on the character you are placing it on, and what the character needs specifically..
I have gone with Spiritual and Cardiac Mostly, but some have taken Musculature.
My SJ/SR Brute is taking the new agility because it will boost some recharge, end mod and defense as well if I remember correctly..
Really depends on what you want.. -
I will often re-roll a character if the powerset isnt working the way I want of if I just dont enjoy it..
I also tend to build around themes which often lead to duplicate powersets to a degree and characters that are intertwined.
I made a toon called Firewall. He was originally an Earth/Thermal controller. Got him to level 50 and just couldnt stand him.. hated playing him.. I rerolled him as a Earth/Fire Dominator.. MUCH MUCH better.. This led me to make his twin brother Heatsink who is a Cold/Ice Defender...I had a character named Reflex who is a KM/EA Brute./.. he is built like a superspeed character and I renamed him Overclock.. Thats my PC tech named theme
I had to toon called FireBrand.. Fire/Thermal Controller... fun but barely played it.. I deleted it and made a toon called Lockdown a Fire/Rad Controller. Much better...
That led me to make a toon called Reactor who is a Rad/Fire Blaster.. thats my Nuclear theme..
I tend to do a lot of themes..
The Electric Company
ShellShock Elec/SS Tank
RedeFurashi ( the Red Flash ) Shield/Elec Brute
AMP'ED Elec/Elec Dominator
Override Elec/Psi Dominator
TASER Elec/Elec Blaster
ColdPlay
StormBringer Ice/Storm Controller
ColdSnap Ice/Cold Controller
Shiv'r Ice/Thorn Dominator
Heatsink Cold/Ice Defender
Avalance Ice/Stone Tank
I like doing stuff like this.. I say make what you want.. have fun.. enjoy yourself.. -
Two Headed Boy and Scirocco could you post your builds. I have a PB that has capped our resistance and everything Perma but no defense. Im not good at building defenses...with toons that dont have some already..
Thanks
