Cynic

Good work guys

I wouldn't mind giving it a go, my AOL crashed on sunday when I was meant to be doing it, by the time I'd worked out what was wrong, and that I couldn't fix it, reinstalled the damn thing and convinced it I did have a modem my team were on the last room, so no reward given.

So Dark Mist, would like a go if there's room.

All that -res............. sounds nice. I wonder if I'd have made Schro a rad/sonic if it was around in I3....... maybe I would have

Secondary effects are currently so meaninglessly trivial in the majority of sets that its pointless slotting for them. Go for damage.

Touch of fear is the only "attack" in DM that I'd slot for anything other than acc, dam and recharge

Thanks, and yeah I teamed with you yesterday briefly too...... love the ninja MMs, with its melee pets and without the vomit sound of necro

Grats mate, inspiring since you talked about throwing in the towel with your WS a fair few times.

Domintor first, they're awesome, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Obsidian shield is kinda a must. Dark consumption would be nice, but get that resistance first.

Dont think you'll need taunt or shadow punch.

Obsidian shield
Dark Consumption
Acrobatics

Would be my order of importance, but then you want Soul Drain as soon as its free (and want it in a bad way you do)

Frostbite for another attack I think, the fear in AA for a slow duration.

Frostbite and Ice Slick dont work together, you'll have ice slick for most fights, would rather take something I could use to build up domination than an imo that will stop knock down.

Ah use Aim the same way I use Power Boost, to make Glacier worthwhile........... fair enough

And black of ice only needs one, seriously, group holds have an acc penalty which requires the second. Cant think of any other dominator power that would need 2 accs appart for the group hold. Unless you plan on a lot of PVP

Never done the Shards TF........... sounds a reasonable amount though

IMHO 2 acc, 2 hold, 2rchg in Glacier. its ACC isn't that good, with such a long recharge and short duration you need more hits on it. Tried 3 combos for it before I settled on that one. It seems the most eficient

Grats, is your MM going to be Ninja? I like ninja MMs, and a 40 one would be good to team with for Frost........ cause we all know a lvl 40 MM is what's next right?

I'd recomend FF if youy're going EN, you dont really want to scatter mobs all over the place with Kin. You dont really want to scatter them anyway, but at least with FF it wont make a difference to your powers, just the rest of the teams.

My SR uses Air Sup + Fly.

I've slotted up quickness and swift to give me run speed when I'm on the ground.

Its a bit slower than I'd like, but I have the entire SR set now. Which gives me just about enough defence to fight even levels

With Invul I'd take fly, for Air Sup, as there's little to gain from Combat jumping.

On the other hand I think my next brute may have TP, would be nice to jump from one mob to the next without delay

If you 3 slot it for run speed, 3 slot swift and 3 slot sprint you move at around unslotted fly speed, un supressed.

1 speed boost puts you pretty much on the speed cap too.

Slotting EF at 21 kinda makes sense to me, no point until you get SO's worrying too much.

A Kin struggling to get teams? Where you looking?

The amount of PuGs I've been in where the first question asked is "anyone know a kin?" is unbelievable......... of course I've been on villains mostly recently so maybe hero's is different

Fly/SS.

Teamed with someone at level 22 who had all powers from both sets, plus jump Kick....... only had Transfusion and repel from secpndry, flares and fire ball from primary. had the most amazing end problems you've seen

That was a rather specialist kin..........

So yes Stupidity/ADD with inexperience power pool, inexperience can of course be removed with a respec later in the game, but that primary and secondry remain the same

My build is:-

01 : Ice Bolt acc(01)
01 : Block of Ice acc(01) hlddur(3) hlddur(3) hlddur(5) recred(17) recred(37)
02 : Ice Sword acc(02) dam(15) dam(15) dam(17) recred(37)
04 : Ice Sword Circle acc(04) dam(5) dam(9) dam(9) endred(11) recred(11)
06 : Arctic Air endred(06) endred(7) endred(7)
08 : Hurdle jmp(08)
10 : Combat Jumping jmp(10)
12 : Ice Slick recred(12) recred(13) recred(13)
14 : Super Jump jmp(14)
16 : Health hel(16)
18 : Hasten recred(18) recred(19) recred(19)
20 : Stamina endrec(20) endrec(21) endrec(21)
22 : Power Boost recred(22) recred(23) recred(23)
24 : Frost Breath acc(24) dam(25) dam(25) dam(27) endred(40) recred(40)
26 : Glacier acc(26) acc(27) hlddur(29) hlddur(29) recred(31) recred(34)
28 : Chilling Embrace endred(28) endred(31) endred(31)
30 : Ice Blast acc(30)
32 : Jack Frost acc(32) dam(33) dam(33) dam(33) hlddur(34) hlddur(34)
35 : Greater Ice Sword acc(35) dam(36) dam(36) dam(36) recred(37)
38 : Bitter Ice Blast acc(38) dam(39) dam(39) dam(39) recred(40)

Was at work so couldn't remember all of it.

My future plan is another 2 slots in AA, and 3 damage in Ice Blast if I can spare them from my Patron Powers. Level 49 will get acrobatics if there's only 3 good powers in their sets. That seems to be normal for the CoH Epics anyway.

I'm built around melee and building domination. I could have Flash Freaze and a bit more control, but would rather have the other attack so that I get that big boost more often.

Power Boost is an important part of my build, always have it to hand when hitting Glacier or the duration on Glacier isn't worth the effort.

As you can see have my entire secondry, if I was to miss any it would be Ice Blast, but I see no need to miss one. I have a nice full attack chain which functions best up close. Chilling Embrace and Artic Air stack nicely to keep things around me from killing me too quickly, Ice slick is ready for nearly every fight.

It is however a purely PvE build.

Hope this helps more than what I could think of at work, some day I plan to do a guide, but not gotten around to it yet

Even if they slot speed boost with run speed SO's?

[/ QUOTE ]Played a speedster so much that can easily control capped runspeed nowdays

You mean it's ever been hard? My SR taught me about run speed, hit the speed cap with a normal speed boost on me. I think I could cope on my Brute.

Hasten is a real bonus for Ice, possibly other doms, because Hasten + Power Boost = easier holding outside of domination. It allows you to miss the odd attack on an elite boss for example, or even miss an AV when you're holding (with domination running)

More damage is the key though, another attack would really help the build and Frostbite is something I'd consider non essential.

Cheers

I'd probably take Chilling Embrace over Shiver, and slot for end red in it.

AA looks a bit over slotted, 3 end red, 1 slow, 1 confuse duration would probably do better.

I'm not a fan of Frostbite, Flash Freeze would give a bit more control, but you look a bit light on damage, and damage is what builds domination. Ice Blast is a nice fit.

I dont see any reason why the build wouldn't work, but above is how I'd do it

Bah friday night? All you people with free time when you should be out in the real world having fun make me jealous, jealous I tell you.

In otherwords....... cant make it
