I wasn't asking to be insulted. That's against the forum rules yo. I would never encourage anyone to be a filthy rule breaker.

Result: Farming times were competitive at best but test results are limited to 2 different runs.

PS if we were really talking abut power gaming, we need to allow EBs too. Untie my hands.

Haha, nice excuses. I see that you are very good at talking, but are unwilling to back up your talk. This to me is not a very good trait. You claim to be my superior and yet when you are asked to prove it, you offer nothing but excuses. I would not be surprised if this super Dominator of yours did not actually even exist.

Drain Psyche is a great power, yes. It aids me wonderfully in my accomplishments. I like it quite a bit. Implying "tl;dr drain psyche" is not accurate, though! You can't do any of the above without good defense and resistance- The +regen is great, but it's not enough on its own to warrant high end enemy group soloing.

Even with that layered survivability, you can't expect it to last indefinitely. Eventually, if you just stand still, you WILL die. You need to be able to dispatch enemies quickly.

When it comes to power leveling and farming, the focus is killing things swiftly. Sure, Drain Psyche's self +regen aids in that, but the primary goal is to do as much damage as possible as quickly as possible.

The same goes for AV fights- You need to build the appropriate survivability and have well slotted single target attacks in order to dispatch your enemy swiftly.

Taking alpha strikes on Incarnate leagues? My Blaster has soloed entire bunkers on Keyes, gotten all the temps, charged terminals, gone back and done it again. This isn't just a "Drain Psyche is OP" case.

I think that there are other combos of sets and AT's that can achieve the same level of self sufficiency and greatness that I have on my Blaster. I regret that I've been forced to defend myself in this post, but please try to remember, casual reader, that the ignorance of one poster being corrected does not mean that I created this thread to brag!

Edit: To elaborate. The last poster is clearly intent on summarizing my accomplishments in single words, thus undermining them. You would think that this poster must have a GREAT character that is truly a gem in our game, that can accomplish all of these same things without any of the powers I used! Either he has found some unheard of, amazing way to beat the heck out of this game, or he is just bitter and jealous because his own accomplishments on HIS characters do not stand up to my own. I'll let you decide.

The punchline is that goals for a single character with a single build that many people seem to find "impossible" are actually very possible. I'm here to prove that, and inspire others to do the same.

I think the community is sort of lazy and uninspired in a lot of ways, so for me this thread serves as a motivator. I mean, c'mon, you guys can do it. Play in perma-god mode. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who's figured this out, and I'd like to see others step forward with their epic feats.

This should serve as a rallying point. You CAN do everything with a single character. You don't have to live your in-game life in a role of mediocrity, just because someone on the forums told you that your goals were unreasonable! You can do it!

My MM doesn't feel that good. If anything, I feel like a damn liability, because my Primary set is only doing what it's meant to be doing 50% of the time, if that. I don't have *any* control over where and when my Assault Bot uses his missiles, or when my Protectors use their seeker drones and healing ray. For a set that is all about 'control'...MM's still actually have very little. Even less than they are meant to, given the state of pet A.I. Which annoys the bolts out of me...
