Get 7 like minded people. All of you roll corruptors. Set difficulty to relentless.

Any combination will leave others wimpering. But if you want particular speed make sure youare predominantly fire primary, and have at least one kin, a few rads, and a sonic in the mix for secondary (the latter mainly for AoE mez protection)

Started an all corrupter team this weekend and it is indeed crazy fun. We've got a good selection of secondaries and are just rolling through missions (most of the time giggling). However I would suggest that a group such as this would not be best if you are rushing to 50 since you need to wait before everyone else is online before you can play. Also, to the OP, you probably do not need to rush. I reckon you have a month at least before i12 is released!

Hypothetically i think you could. The toggle works on Phantom Army doesnt it? Would have thought the carrion vines work the same way, but I'm probably wrong!

Im thinking either Plant/rad or plant/sonic. Maybe even /thermals if that is ported. I think plant/rad would be the best but i already have a 50 ill/rad...do i want another /rad controller?

All corrupter team anyone?

DM/ also goes well with Elec in my opinion. Lightning reflexes can make your 3 basic attacks cycle quicker, and the heal in the primary is good for elec's lack of one. Endurance is no problem either due to the 3 end recovery powers on offer (although i doubt many people would get all 3!) Its also the way to go if you want to make a buzzsaw build (build with a fair bit of recharge so that attack chain consists almost entirely of shadow punch and smite to build fury v quickly. Sometimes relies on procs to improve dmg)

Claws with some animation changes so it was more primal looking could work think saber tooth or Pitt lots of rending and tearing looking attacks

Seems viable, Slash looks different on Stalkers than Scrappers already, so it's apparent that they can do that.
(Another example would be Charged Brawl looking different (better) on Blasters than Brutes)

Thats a bug though according to BaB (don't have time to find a source as im at work, will do so when im back at home - its from the "new claws animations" thread on the US boards).

Glad you are enjoying Doms. Welcome to the AT for the elite!

Ice/Sonics is one I'm thinking about too with the new AI for jack. I think he'd look quite spiffy with the Sonic Shields and Disruption field running on him.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is exactly why I have an ice/sonics waiting at lvl15 (waiting for wen i finish over on the red side!) Hmm, could be good for task force omega...

Yeah i had no intention of taking shockwave, i've tried it on my kin/sonic defender back when i was a relative noob so i know that it probably would help since i need things close to me traps. Tried to make a build via Mids (the previous one was in my head) and it looks to be annoyingly tight, especially if i want to take medicine and hasten etc. But it should be a fun toon so im going to roll it anyway! Trying to decide on whether to take ss or fly. ss would allow quick stealthing into mobs to release poison gas trap, and would probably mean ffg/seekers would take alpha, but if i'm openning with siren's this may not matter. Hover allows you to place traps quicker according to a /traps guide i read since it cuts off some of the animations so thats a bonus. oh decisions!

Ok I was having a think about obscure powersets and combos that had been overlooked. One of them that came to mind was Sonic/traps and the more i thought about it, the more i liked the idea of the combo! There seems (in my opinion at least) to be great synergy between the two. I can see an attack chain on large groups (when solo) of Siren's songing them all to sleep, running in and placing poison gas trap, then acid mortar, then killing as appropriate with blasts. It should be an easy and safe soloer and fairly handy in teams too!

So the question is: What do you lot think? Am i deluding myself? Is this a rubbish idea? Any ideas on tactics that would work well? Which powers should i avoid or not use together? I have a draft build in mind if ppl want to see it, but feel free to leave any comments and ideas you might have.

Oh i see this as a mostly PvE toon as i know little about pvp!

Is it still possible to have under lvl 45s in this tf or have they made it all 45+ only now?

Oh just realised that i teamed with black hare this weekend briefly: I was Obituary Your stalker was doing very nicely already! (apart from making Freak tanks very angry at you)

Wow, those badges are cool. Since this is a shop, how much?

This is why Mids really is the bomb.

cause smurfs team with smurfs a lot hence they think they have the only 50's

Lots of high level villains solo cause it seems nearly impossible to get a decent team.

[/ QUOTE ]

Through no fault of the smurfs, i kinda agree. does seem hard to get teams at high level.

I think the thing to note is the water spout is a chaos contol power, not an aoe damage power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah after more playing it does seem to be the case that that is its more suitable role. Its been pretty handy when soloing just to chuck it in when i get in over my head. Ah well, dunno what i'll do about AoE...Although im doing ok at the mo so i'll survive.

Secondly, yes, your immob is canceling it out.

Sorry, my original post wasn't clear, i was really complaining about the amount of kb, but i am growing to love it.

[ QUOTE ]
Personally I wouldn't take this on dom (ok for a stalker or corruptor). I wouldn't take any patron other than scirrocco on a dom though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly there's not much i can do about that now. I know for my next dom, which i'm thinking will be the fotm plant/psi

Nah, thats not abnormal at your level. You will only have Training origin enhancements which are awful. You could try slotting invention origin enhancements (go to the university in Steel canyon to check these out) or at lvl 12 you can start slotting lvl 15 Dual origin enhancements. Both of these will make you noticeable more powerful, but they do take money

Hi all,

This post is in two parts:

Part the First!
Well, after getting my Fire/Energy Dominator to 41 last night, i picked up Water Spout from the Leviathan pool.
First i just cast it on the ground: "mmm pretty" i thought. Then i tried it out on some mobs: "oh pooey " methinks.
Yeah so i wasnt terribly impressed with it, pretty pants damage, didnt really notice the stunning going on and massive knockback (although that might be cos my reapplied firecages missed a couple of mobs so the -kb wasn't reapplied). I was kinda hoping that it would boost my sadly lacking aoe damage, but i seem to spend all the time worrying about reapplying fire cages that i dont get to blast. So what I'm asking you all is; How should i be using water spout? What contexts is it good/bad? Should i just respec it out for chum spray? or any other comments you have on Water Spout and the Leviathan pool generally.

Part the Second!
Well since the above dominator is nearly 50 (and i rarely play toons when they hit 50 - dunno why, prefer the leveling) I am thinking about which dominator to roll as my next one (one is never enough). So, what combos do you like and would recommend and why?

Thank you for your time!
JD

elec/wp

What?

[/ QUOTE ]

Shhhhh!

[/ QUOTE ]

My bad, sorry. I'll try again. Which goes better with /elec? I'd say:
Dark/elec.




What? Its really good!

A very good idea, not stupid at all. My /energy brute has the equivalent of it (which is exactly the same but drains a little less from the foes, but rewards the same amount to me) and i ave it slotted 2 recharge, 2 end mod and its ideal. Up whenever i want it, and drains enough end to almost completely refill my end off only 2 minions. Shouldnt need any more than 2 IOs.

I was wondering about this, and i should point out that my elec/ brute doesnt have rod yet, but i was intending on 2 acc, 2 dmg, 2 rec redux, with 2 or 3 rec redux in BU so that i would always use BU before lightning rod. The recharge is long, so needs some reduction imo, but damage slotting most certainly shouldnt be left out! Wouldn't think 3 accuracy would be necessary, especially if using if after BU. Just my thoughts tho. And it will be very different with IO set slotting.

Villain energy blasts for corrupters is still blue im afraid. Only Doms get red ones. Knockback becomes knockdown if you attack from directly above (you knock the enemy back into the ground :P) a technique favoured by nova-form khelds.

elec/wp





What?

Haha true, but unfortunately words they invent often make their way over here. One such word is anagram. An american word that is now in everday use over here (although usually used incorrectly imo)... at least i think it is, I havent checked that :P

Anyway this is massively off topic and i will shut up now.

Actually pedantism is a word so rooks wins :P
(to be precise, its included in american dictionaries and not english ones as far as i'm aware)
