I disagree with the previous posts. Controllers can definitely play like dominators. Only specific sets though. Earth/ice controllers will not be dominators, but mind/grav/fire/illusion surely can. Every controller can be a dominator once they get to APPs and vet powers though. I have 2 level 50 dominators (ice/psi & plant/thorn) and many more below that and 1 post 30 controller and many mid-20s. I love both ATs, the only other AT I can get into as much is MMs (have a few 50 of those).

They can't do that unfortunately.

Okay, I told a little white lie, but it's in the process of uploading to youtube and I didn't want to wait. This is my lvl 50 merc/TA.

4. Don't think so. And it does seem wierd...

I love my ice/psi, the PBAoE nature is really nice. And since you mostly only have soft controls you might as well maximize them by having -recharge in the primary and secondary, not to mention drain psyche will take care of endurance issues in arctic air.

Here is a video made by a very VERY talented dom that I one day hope to be as good as: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4de2AJnwC0E

Arctic air can also be turned into a damage aura helping with the low damage pre-38 of /psi.

I've enjoyred my lvl 24 necro/pain more than my 35 necro/dark (also had a lvl 35 necro/poison). It's more survivable so far, and definitely not as annoying. Healing with dark is really a PITA.

Mind/ice. Plant/thorn and ice/psi are good group characters not so great solo. And you can 1-hit sleep AVs.

Edit: Do not take telekinesis so you will have endurance.

Fire/fire is a much better farmer than ice/fire, but if you want cheap permadom you can go with plant/fire.

Ah, I get it now... sp3 orbital hybridisation in chemistry because your character is a chemist that now directs energy from chemical reactions towards enemies.

plant/fire > plant/psi. -recharge doesn't synergize well with confusion, but high damage does (though it isn't burst in the case of fire). It can work conceptually since some plants can give off tons of heat. I can't find the name of the plant right now (I think it's named something like witch something). I'd still go with plant/thorn though. (more burst damage, -def so confused enemies kill each other faster, fast recharging cone, and aim for burst damage). Don't take impale/thorntrops if you do though. Roots is nice later on.

I would be very very curious as to how Energy would be made better than Electric.

-end is a pretty crappy side effect. I'd be satisfied if they added powerbuild up w/ a 120s recharge and 15s duration.

Energy has better side effects than electric IMO, not to mention powerboosted vengeance!

[/ QUOTE ]Powerboosted vengeance < actually killing things

Nothing now. Wait for the dom changes, I'm sure gravity and energy will get big changes, so I'm going to make on possibly on test or once it launches.

What should I do in it?

Do you think you will still like that toon when PSW recharges twice as slow and does less damage then now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably not as much. The PBAoE is what I like most about this character and I'm definitely not going to be going with psy scream. He'll still be pretty good, especially once I get permadom, hibernate, and my coralax. I think /psi should (not necessarily will) retain it's status as highest PBAoE damage dealer though.

I'll be happy if he can still kill spawns that size, but slower though.

You actually play energy?!? And no I have nothing useful to contribute but a post that will hopefully attract more posters.

Wegame video recorder, I used it before on my old PC w/ windows XP, and I also wanted a free/cheap recorder.

I'm trying to record my MM in a mission but I can't take screenshots at all (hotkey is alt+F2) and I can't record videos (hotkey is alt+F1). When I press the screenshot hotkey, nothing happens, when I press the video hotkey a messages saying: "Select Flash Window Please left click the flash game you would like to record." toggles on or off. I'm not sure if Vista is the problem.

Just a note, there is an AoE formula the devs use to determine how much damage an AoE power does. It's technically a divisor, it comes up with a number and then divides by it.

This formula is usually broken, it's not always followed to the fullest either. Many sets find themselves over it, others under it.

No power breaks it as badly as PSW though, most powers may break it for up to 30% in extreme cases, -20% to +20% more often.

PSW breaks it by +375% IF this power was to be balanced without changing radius, damage or recharge, the power's end cost would have to go up to 48.412 and even here it still would be considered not enough.

If only recharge was touched, to meet the rules to the key, it would have to be changed to a 56 second recharge, this would lower dps drastically.

If only radius was changed, it would have to become a ST (thats actually the bug with the power, they never applied the AoE modifier to it's damage.)

-Starsman I think

------------------------

*Shudder*

I just ran some numbers - if he does exactly the same thing [as he did to blasters] it will amount to a gutting of PSW.

Radius Cut from 25' to 15'
Recharge doubled from 10s to 20s
Damage going from 70.8 to 39.7

That last one worries me a bit.

It makes me more comfortable with the upcoming changes.

Ninja/traps. They do much more damage than zombies solo and can take down AVs more easily.

elec/kin sapper corruptor. Gives you amazing damage and heals and she gets a tank. Together everything around will be out of endurance in seconds even AVs will run dry (I think).

Sorry to "say" it, but lrn2read.

OR you could go with a dominator and have damage early on and definitely later.

Come to the dark side, we have cookies!
