I find it truly amazing that a whole complete build can fit in such a small amount of weird and chaotic combinations of seemingly random digits

Uzzi FTW! He's seriously one of the best stalkers out there.

I have a 50 Earth/TA which i've recently picked up again after a long time in the retirement home and having loads of fun with it again. Also specced it from his old SO build into a full IO build now which feels very good.
It's absolutely an uncommon, excellent and strong combo.

Like badger said, i won't write a full lay out, but if you have any question feel free to send me an email on the forum and i'll get back to you.

coolio, go for it sin!

I would take Hasten early on to get your hold and attacks recharging much quicker ...

[/ QUOTE ]

Not even to mention to speed up the recharge of domination.

[ QUOTE ]
... The attack chain is pretty tight, and the -regen stacking from dart and blast starts to become somewhat effective.

[/ QUOTE ]

-regen on mental blast and psi dart? Is this something new?
AFAIK only Drain Psyche does -regen...

Great to hear you had so much fun folks! I didn't expect it otherwise though.
Very unfortunately i didnt make it. Earlier that evening my computer was unwilling to run the game properly to say the least, i started some repair efforts, made dinner and after that silly me fell asleep on the couch and not waking up till around 01.45
I'm really sorry for you letting you down and gutted i missed all the lovely DXP and naturally the great fun.

I seriously do hope and expect the knights of Knee will ride again soon and i will be there again!

Thanks for putting this together falling! I know it's been tough on you
Now we got team Knee together again... except for you , but at least you and your mate are together! We'll miss you and and we'll race you!
Should be a lovely kneevening again! (You do know what you are getting into Chisel? )

Important note: all the present Knees of team Knee shall stick together for this run (see team 1)! A broken Knee is unacceptable!
And also in adding to the excitment let's make it a race for the 2 teams.

Hey miss,
Welcom to the boards! Keep in mind that cross thread posting is a no go here (for purposes of keeping the forum as clean and conveniently arranged as possible )

Have you checked the player guides section already for a build?
earth/emp might be a bit boring though. ice/storm is lovely in every aspect (earth/storm as a mix of your 2 choices is also very nice!)

If you want an example build ppl can help you better when you give some pointers to what you like; i.e. which travel power you prefer, if you want to be more support or more aggresive, wanna be pvp viable or not, and also important if you want have an regular SO build or a IO build, etc.

Lesbian [censored] transgender forign?

Did I just lose the plot?

[/ QUOTE ]

We all loose and find it again and again.

"lesbian" I like it! "[censored]" I can figure out the enlightened double layer in this. "transgender" was just recently explained to me carefully and elaborately by my actual gf and former brother. "forign" that's just too difficult for me...
Or was the plot for you?

Oi! who cares?
I'm cool with 7.30. It will be a funknee kneevent anyway!

Well it may have been an error, but the email I got through about double experience said it finishes at 9pm Sunday.....just so youre aware.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks - isn't particularly going to affect me - being lvl 50 and all....

[/ QUOTE ]

hehe :P i was under the illusion that it was 12pm but heyho

At least 3/5 of it will be in double reward teritory

[/ QUOTE ]

It's said it's 9 PM, but last few DXP weekends lasted a while longer.
Anyway, we could move it back like an hour so, we can profit from more DXP (and inf) for sure and have it on the whole TF including completion.
Does 18.30 sounds like a good idea?

[ QUOTE ]
Think he meant he'd prefer all debuffs to be Ranged Location AoE (like DA and OS) rather than Ranged AoE (AA, PG and EMPA).

[/ QUOTE ]

You lazy bum!
(DA=Dark Armour; OS=Operating System; PG=Petrifying Gaze; AA=Arctic Air. EMPA=Empath on alcohol?)
You confuse us with these talks. All this combined might make a rather interesting combo though

Sorting out a fully IO build (with a few -res procs ) for my earth/ta who is atm still with the same slotting old SO slotting for over a year or so.
If i got it ready i might not be able to resist the temptation to use and show it off! Although getting some nice DXP on my fire/fire would be very nice too...

[ QUOTE ]
...
Always moving or else I'm dead! That's the Dominator Way!...like a shark or something!

[/ QUOTE ]

Sting like a bee, move like a butterfly!

Aye, them procs are really brillaint stuff! Sounds like you had a nice night out in the zone Wyx

[ QUOTE ]
...
Cold is also a very nice solo choice for the -rech and helds so usefull, energy also for the KB (but it doesn't stack very well with sleet).

[/ QUOTE ]

I gather you mean ice blast
And nrg blast is truly the suxorz unless maybe you solo

Oh yeah baby, count me in for another Kneevening of fun!

Either with my
fire/fire blaster again (41 atm)
or a fire/storm troller (50)
or my earth/ta troller (50)
or very maybe if you let me with my ice/nrg dom (50)

I'll let the Knee decide on the night itself!
The Fellowship of the Knee will ride again!

I agree with Drak. His said tactic is good: move in and out again. For the great Incinerate you need to be up close and personal anyway.
I have a plant/fire myself and loved combustion all the way. Didn't take it early on (lvl 22 iirc), because it only comes to it's own from mid lvl and on with some nice slotting in it.
It has a long activation time that can get on my nerves sometimes hindering my fast combat movement flow, but i use it a lot to great content.
But me is me and you is you as my old man used to say

Nice piccies of a knockout kneevening, and i'm in them somewhere too!

Aye BIG congorats to them 4 Knights of the Knee dinging 50!!

I enjoyed Task Force Knee thoroughly in all aspects. High quality folks; skilled players, lively and smart chatter, many laughs, good team spirit and everyone had very beautiful knees as well!
Truly one of the most enjoyable TF's for me in a long time.
Cheers for that!

Nice post, Mighty. I would repeat the comment regarding healing. Aid Self/Other is a much better option than relying on the +regen ability of the Spirit Tree.


[/ QUOTE ]

Good (PvE) domi's hardly need aid self really. Especially a plant domi with it's overpowered seeds which offer a huge (perma) damage mitigation.
Although admittedly handy at times, your build + skills + smart use of insps (and external buffs/heals when teamed) should be enough to handle even the most tough battles 9/10 and leaves room for 2 more useful powers imho.
And ofcourse that lovely tree only provides first class highly occasional usefull pants.

[/ QUOTE ]

TBH I did mention and reccomend Aid Self with a view to using the character in any part of the game, including some forays into PvP, which I'm guessing Scarlet Shocker will want to try at some point, and also for high repped end game content.

But,even good PVE Dom's roll unlucky sometimes . And a high level EB, AV or Hero, with purple triangles is going to complicate your theories somewhat .

TBH I'm sceptical if you imply good Dom's don't take Aid Self, it must be poor ones that do. I find the opposite of what you say true, and it's the better Dom's that have taken it over a couple of powers in any set that would be more or less redundant anyway, and are usually those standing longest. I guess overall it's a matter of preference. My own is to have toons that are self reliant even if I happen to be playing with really good teammates.

[/ QUOTE ]

Let me start with saying that your post was overall a nice piece of information indeed for scarlet (and other plant/thorn domi's out there)


And maybe i missed it , but I don't see any reference to PvP in Scarlet's post though. Nor did i see you say anything specifically about PvP either. Although you wrote:
[ QUOTE ]
Aid Self IMO is a must really on all the Doms I have. I never like to have to rely on a heal from an external source.

[/ QUOTE ]
But when you say in reply:
[ QUOTE ]
TBH I did mention and reccomend Aid Self with a view to using the character in any part of the game, including some forays into PvP

[/ QUOTE ] that implies that (almost) everyone should take Aid Self so that they are prepared for some PvP if you happen to suddenly find yourself in a PvP zone


So I'm continuing from a PvE point of view...
And that's where i disagree from my experience of near 200 lvls of playing dominators.
Imo Aid Self is defo not a must for a domi as you say. Ofcourse you may take it if you like it and when it fits your playstyle/preference, and admittedly it's handy sometimes, but not so much that the pick is justified imo. It's not so much really needed as you tell us.
Ofcourse there have been some occasions where i myself thought '[censored], I wish I had aid self just now', but that's been the case on many toons in moments when things go [censored]. And sure as hell that's not a good enough reason to spec it in on all those toons...
And even in those cases the situation most of times is so that Aid Self likely would be interrupted anyway. On a sidenote things change a bit in favour of Aid Self when you are a /ice or /nrg domi. Powerboost largely upgrades the usefullness of Aid Self.
But i stick to that normally a well played domi should be able to be self sufficient without aid self and with good insps (and not just green ones as replacement for aid self, but oranges/purps to lower the need for any heal in the first place) +skills+build -and teammates, but yes ofcourse you still faceplant here and there.

My point is that not taking Aid Self leaves room for more powers that will help your quality and survivability in other ways, like killing them faster, controlling them better/faster, and/or taking other utility powers like maybe a second travel power (personally I find SJ + SS is brilliant for example).

Didn't mean to offend you, but i do wanted to point out that for domi's Aid Self is not a must at all as you seem so convinced about.


P.S Aid Self or not i'd advice not to solo any AV/Hero with or without triangles when playing a domi and instead bring some friends+insps

Cya mate, havent seen you in a while indeed- i've recently returned form a few months break myself- and indeed it's been very healthy.
I wish you good travels along your path!

What the hell is actually a 'ruptor'?
New phenomenon or entity created from mixing ancient dinosaur chromosomes with atomically enriched magma?
Or is it a blue and red pill-bug monster dressed in black leather sent to find the Lights of Orion?
Oh the mystery!
