IMO, farming is not bad. This game is all about farming if you would look closer. Abusing it! is bad! The Devs did not want people to name their Arcs as "farm" to prevent giving AE system a bad reputation. I don't think you will be penalized if you announced something in the forums about farming... and since you were asking about a good mission for your "Dominator" im guessing you posted in the right place. I don't farm myself, but I don't see anything bad about people who farm. Prices are high, time is limited and time is money. There is nothing wrong with making a toon that kills mobs faster.

I know AE gives everyone a chance to make their own Story Arcs that are playable, specially for RP'rs, but not everyone is a "Role Player" ...and the system happens to be available for everyone.

As for Empress_EU, I think they minimized the xp on AE on i16 to give outside AE contents more appeal. So its not worth it to farm in AE this coming issue. The new "Difficulty System" on the other hand will make you happy for sure. You can set the mobs spwans into 8 team spwan without a big team. Not only you will get infamy/influence, but you will be gaining good amount of prestige, purple drops, invention recipes and salvages. There are many more features for farmers and PvE'rs, PvPr's :P

...and there is nothing wrong with hiding...

I know for sure that lots of good doms can manage to kill a bunch of blasters, but thats only if each dom keeps multiple targeting... When a team of blaster keeps on a specific target, it wont take too long to get on the next target... maybe 1.5 seconds...lol

You realize that doms now do pretty close damage to blasters, right? They can spike just as well as blasters, from range. Plus they get mezzes, making the spike 10 times easier.

Guess we need to nerf doms too?

...and not all doms can...

People keep forgetting how annoying it is when theres more than 4 Stalkers in the zone. Some of them just hide somewhere, then pops BU/Aim and 2 shot a good Blaster!

fixed.

I give props for a stalker who can 2 shot a blaster, seriously.........

Thank God for stalkers, It squashes blasters egos and builds character lol...

This maybe my first player created event that I will join! <3 the idea!

If 1 blaster can do so much dmg, then how much more if theres 2 or more? Most of them have hybernate! So one can lure vills.

heroes "base sit" in my server kthxbye!

Everyone knows blasters are over powered! even the devs knows this! Which sucks!!!

But what happens when they nerf blasters? People will quit and rage!, specially my friends who has blasters for pvp... this is why pvp is not balance! its all about the money. Money is the root of all evil! They know its the only AT that can 2 shot or 3/out dmg vills.

does +hp, higher hp, crappy BUT VERY EFFECTIVE Defense in epic pool(wierd), hybernate, PFF, FoN, +dmg inherent, BU and aim primary/secondary, range boost, power boost, stuns, immobs, KB, debuffs etc.. says its not over power? w/e

I was just reading a thread about what AT's people make. Guess what!?! 95% of the people make Blasters and Scrappers... Both deals alot of dmg in PvE and PvP.

FYI damage is the only thing that does not suppress nor affected by DR. Thats proof they keep protecting Blasters.

...and yeah if there are more vills ofcourse vills will get all kills and gank, Same thing applies in hero side. But before CoV, hero side got attention for pvp, thats why when they organize teams they are more effective....

edit: forgot they have access to epic shields +res/+def :P

Well considering it's been admitted that there's a BUG causing doms to do more damage than intended, I'm not sure what the arguing is about. Once that's fixed, they'll still do much better damage than before. They just won't do more damage than a blaster, while also having a plethora of mezzes....becaused that IS overpowered.

In case you do not know, all holds are the same now no matter what the mag/duration says it is, except controllers they have longer. Even in domination or power boost. If you would notice its not even 4 seconds long! its more like 2 seconds. In fact blasters [Scare] from Mental Manipulation, last for 6 seconds.

Do not forget about mezz !!!!!!suppression!!!!!! You cannot stack holds anymore!

For anyone who complains about dominators killing you fast, It's a matter of attack chain that made you face the ground! You probably got held then KB'd to mitigate your dmg, that's not an error... First of all KB has suppression, this was done on issue 10 or 11.

First whiners who complained about the "dom bug" are blasters who kept killing doms and corrs and stalkers before i15 launched and committed hero players who hate villains (no villain toons!).

I'm fine with the changes/fix, I'm just annoyed at the people who complained too much. Just because they can't kill the same dom in pvp zone like they used to.

Once they fix this bug, i'm gonna go to RV with my dom and fellow dom friends and kill all blasters/heroes so they can complain more here. kthxbye!

You still have not explained as to "why" you feel that they are "so overpowered" in pvp right now.


You mention them doing tons of "damage" as a source of their "OP"-ness. I show that Blasters can do the same thing, and with more survivability in zones.


Aside from damage, you haven't shown any proof as to "why" dominators are so "omg powerful" man. You are complaining about there being 20 doms in zone and killing things quickly. Get 20 Blasters, see just how quickly they can lay stuff out too, trust me, it'll be just as fast. The only difference is, a Blaster can survive a tad bit longer. Doms do not have increased HP and thus, for the most part, must rely on their "controls" for their damage protection...controls which are relatively "weak" in the new pvp system, especially against a well built or buffed toon. Domies also don't have a "heal" (as well as +HP) power in their Patron Pools, and to add insult to injury that heal also comes with Hibern00b and a pretty darn sweet +defense shield. That one Ancillary Pool alone brings AMPLE survivability to any Blaster in zones.


Basically, in the end, Doms have been turned into "CoV's" version of the Blaster. A "squishy" AT with high damage and moderate control. Yes, moderate, nothing in the new pvp system can be considered "devastating" control anymore. Everything goes from minor to [u]at best[u] moderate. So with this being known (Domies equalling Blasters) tell me, where's the problem you complain about?


You have an overwhelming number of Domies in RV right now, but that's to be expected anytime there is a new "change/buff" to [u]ANY[u] AT. Within the next few weeks it will fade and die down, and you'll be left with a more reasonable number of Domies to deal with. No biggie.


I still don't see this huge imbalance you speak of though, not even close. Domies perform well in pvp now, I think thats a good thing, especially for Villains, who (for the most part) rely on Stalkers as their "main" PvP crutch.

this post is full of win! I so much agree!

So why do blasters get to 1, 2, 3, 4 shot doms, corrs, stalkers etc. or should i say "villain AT's"? Isn't it about time villains get a range AT that deals fair dmg? Its not like the hold duration is long, its simply defending once self from an over powered blaster.

Its been a year since my dom retired and this so called error made my dom worth playing in pvp. For the first time ever since i13 pvp, I enjoyed it even with this silly DR. =

Ive died a couple of times against a sonic blaster and fire blaster 1 vs 1, so i don't know where the Over Power comes from. Even vs regen scrapper i barely killed the guy. At least now even if my dom dint have aim nor BU, i can pop a red stay on a fight for long...

Only thing I have to say to the devs is, Make the change in PvE and keep this so called error in PvP. Because this kinda balanced to current situation of PvP. Plus making a blaster pvp build is way easier than making a dom pvp build :P (since i13 pvp that is/and the current market situation).

Who am i to judge since I don't know how the fix will turn out, but if the change sucks I do not know anymore. It's like pvp'rs are not allowed to enjoy. Its not like people do not have access to blasters or dominators if they need to get kills! *sighs*

Come on people give dominators a chance! Stop complaining when villains do well!

They are not as OPed as people cry, you should realize the start dmg is actually pretty low

[/ QUOTE ]

ummm... forgeting something? Aim + Build Up? before i forgot! blasters base dmg, and inherent?

[ QUOTE ]
you have to stack attacks,

[/ QUOTE ]

umm sonic = -res =DoT = stacked -res = more dmg?


[ QUOTE ]
you have to buy in account the activation time of some attacks

[/ QUOTE ]

basically it pretty much explain why it has slow activatiobn time, "its not as gimp as ppl think it is"

[ QUOTE ]
also and also range from shout is just 40 ft.

ummm... perma range boost?

Things that usually kill my sonic/em are slows (i know sounds weird since slows are kind of dead

ummm travel supression?

I think you are on the right track, the idea is good, but Invisibility is not very Gravity-ish. They should just change the animation of its effects to make it look like it is coming out from gravity. Invisibility is more like Illusion Control side.

When it comes to power changes or nerfs, I always think about changes that are related to the power. Like for example when they tried to nerf "Telekenesis", I sent them the definition of Telekensis from a dictionary/encyclopedia. I did not want them to change it to a power that is not realistic or atleast lose its soul.

Tell you what though, what if you use DS then use Wormhole to put the unaffected targets on the other side for the team, although it takes a lot of explaining to do for the team...

But who knows... the Devs always listens to these (your idea)kinds of ideas... Alot of changes had been player based ideas even if they are not related to the power. Like PvP. *Sighs*

btw it is really a good idea

I have noticed there were no crystals (object) in the selections. I may be wrong, but i swear i scrolled up and down over and over to find one. Anyway, i was looking for a specific crystal if it exists. It is called "Soul Crystal" from Ghost Widows story arc, but any crystal will do if it is not available. pls help!

here is a link from paragonwiki:
