Well, I'm not a friendly Dom by any stretch of the imagination .... but seeds ASAP.

You'll also want Fire Breath and Fiery embrace. Hit them with seeds, wait 2 seconds or so for them to cluster, fiery embrace then breath.

Seeds is good with TOs, perfectly fine with DOs. I can't wait to see what it is like with SOs ... when I have time.

If you get confuse you should be able to solo in near perfect safety, given you already have mesmerize and dominate - you should be able to juggle 3 minions easily.

Mass Hypnosis is a good panic button (less so in an AoE heavy team) but will require some slotting. On a bad team, mass hypnosis is almost useless. On a good team, it can be a life saver. I'd still take confuse over it though.

Pretty much.

I don't care about all those mean things everyone says about you behind your back - I think you're super

I'm pretty sure that Aero is raring to jump into your coveted "Master of Positions" ceremony, and I'm sure you'll wish him all the best in that.

Fixed that up for ya.

As some of you may remember, I attempted to quit this game about a year ago to start a part time degree.

What only some of you know is I managed to contract pneumonia instead, nearly died and spent two months playing CoV erm.. recuperating.

Well, I got a deferral for a year and it is time to start up again, so unless the same thing happens again (and I can't see me being that lucky ) I'm off.

I'd like to thank everyone I've teamed with recently (so that's very few of you outside of the all dom team) with particular thanks to Dark_Petting. Truly the best player I've ever teamed with, regardless of AT.

I'd like to thank Freaks/LouD for providing this old misanthrope a home after Paragon Allstars imploded. I joined for the banter, but stayed for the cybering. My one regret is we couldn't get anyone other than me, Syn and Aero to join in.

I'd like to thank all the regulars at GG. Just knowing you were there made me feel happy.

Obviously, I've run my last invite-only hami raid (the new leader will be in touch shortly). I realise this leaves you with only 4 Grav/Sonic trollers (dangerously close to the minumum) but I'm sure that whole Singularity/Liquefy exploit will be closed down in Issue 8 (plus I'm running out of storage space for the hami-os).

Anyway, thanks to Syn, Cel, Aero, Smokie, Flith et al.

Thanks also to the all dom team who proved it was actually possible to get a team on CoV these days . I'm going to miss the carnage.

and to any of you who I may have offended in my time on these boards, tough. I expect you deserved it

The only 'guide' I could find, when I wanted to make a plant/fire.

I've got a plant/fire (a baby one, only 19) but here are my thoughts.

This is a great fun build. You probably want to get ASAP...

Seeds of Confusion (six slot)
Hasten
Fire Breath - seeds tends to cluster mobs up into a nice tight fiery breath shaped target
Fiery Embrace. Click this just before you start your attack chain. It lasts a surprisingly long time for a what it does, especially for your secondary.
I take plan on taking combustion to maximise the aoE carnage, despite the fact it isn't meant to be that great, because it can be used to maintain domination between mobs.

I'll hunt out my planned build but I'm still finding my way through so it is a bit ropey. It is very tight on slots.

One point I haven't seen made yet. You're fire/kin. At some point, you're going to turn into a defender anyway, as the flaming monkeys of death turn up, drop some acid and start doing the flaming monkey dance of flamery death, while you struggle to keep them speed boosted and healed...

[ QUOTE ]
click again like Blizzard, which the mobs dont stay in anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]
Those would be the knocked over slowed mobs then? Seriously, have you ever even seen this power in use? Plus with Ice/Kin, you can use blizzard as an opening move on minions, knowing you need 1 blue insp and you'll be ready to go again in a second ... without having to dive into the middle of them.


[ QUOTE ]
No one usually takes Rain of Fire or Ice Storm, unless you have some kind of AoE slow, hold, immob or stun.

[/ QUOTE ]I have both. Not on the same corruptor but even so ... tar patch + rain of fire (for example) is an awesome combo and ice storm is a nice group separation power solo at lower levels.

I'm obviously playing a completely different game from you.

I happen to agree with the fire breath/fire ball argument but the level of ignorance in the rest of your post is quite impressive.

[ QUOTE ]
but I just cant log onto it anymore. Therefore, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I have to leave all the people in the real world,

[/ QUOTE ]

I assume you're going to keep the account though?

[ QUOTE ]
So do I, and they are easily owned by 2 peeps, but you simply lack the damage to do it with an Illu/Rad. Now if you bring a blaster or a fire/kin with you, they won't last 2 minutes

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the only reason they put Bloody Bay and Warburg into the game was to enable Ill/Rad to solo AVs again?

Blizzard is incredibly good with scourge though. Especially since you can get the same freakshow twice with it.
Plus the hold in ice is useful.

Either set would be good, play what you enjoy - both can be viable.

what you mean like 'Buzz Lightyear' from the eu beta?

I got bonus points because he was in a hulk costume

but if I have fists, I'll be tempted to play it *seriously*

Good point. It's obvious from all the comments I should have mentioned ... I'll have a pet kinetics corruptor with me at all times.

And by 'all times' I'm talking speed boost available from level 1.(Lackey, enter, kick, buff bot, mission complete).

Transference, transfusion and fulcrum shift as well ... would that make a difference?

Seriously, thanks for all the constructive criticism peeps esp. the captain and the rejiggered build. I'll probably go with the build suggested.

Hence the pairing with /elec.... I was hoping someone would chip in with observations on how they play together, since it does seem to have a couple of useful tools for mitigating the drawbacks of stone. Given it has stamina and power sink in the build (so from 0 to full every 20 seconds or so) I wasn't sure how needed it would be. Of course, I could have put in the end reducs ... then someone would no doubt chip in with a comment about how they are overkill with all the other endurance mitigation powers this build has

And if you can't one shot minions with a brute, there's something wrong with you - and last time I checked, the attacks don't take 50 end each

As for the conductive shield, I left it at the start and the only damage mitigation it gives me that I can't get elsewhere isn't all that common (unless the planner is not up to date, which is a possibility). I did mean to keep slipping it in but there was always something I wanted more.

And as for chelsea, you're still paraphrasing and not attributing. Either learn some of your own put downs or at least put them in quotes

Not really bothered about levelling this one up,I just get a buzz from Stone Melee and thought /Elec would be interesting with it. Thoughts? (not bothered about efficiency, which is why stone fist isn't there)

I have no real plans to take any villains past 40

The arcs are great but the PPPs just ain't worth the slog - I'd rather get 2 or three things up to mid 30s.

Dominators are like fat chicks .. nobody wants to be seen on one.

If you're gonna steal a quote from someone in the US, at least do a proper job of it.

"Dominators are like fat chicks. They are a lot of fun but you wouldn't want your friends to see you on one".

Well, on Union we currently have an all-dom team running, I personally have 7 dominators at the moment, although pretty all low level.

Any dom with access to Seeds and AoEs has to take both. We've been doing the all-dom team for a couple of weeks and it is a scarily good combination.

Meaning that all members would get generic'ed in short order, as someone has already said.

[ QUOTE ]
I've never actually done the TF - or any TF on the Hero side come to think of it - so I'm kinda intrigued as to what it entails.

[/ QUOTE ]

this is a really bad one to try and infer anything from. I'm amazed anyone bothers doing any of the others after it (some of them are fantastic - the Hess one/Eden trial (yes I know) ).

basically plays like a long story arc. No big monster/AV or whatever. Make sure everyone has travel powers (by the fifth mission or so you'll want to kill the sprinter) or, as mentioned, a teleporter. A Mind/ troller or /Psi defender is worth their weight in gold on this one.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh great, EVERYONE'S joining in with the Aero bashing...


[/ QUOTE ]

where do I sign up?

[ QUOTE ]
its a simple "create new master account" "move details to new account" as the server and whatnot doesnt change, jsut what holds the minor accounts. Little strain on the DB I think.. so I do not see a problem with it.


[/ QUOTE ]
Apart from the fact that functionality could be used for powerlevelling services, or that they (NC) probably don't want to be involved in a custody battle (I'm sure it must have happened before), no reason at all.

If the guy's name is on the master account, unless he's prepared to be reasonable then I think you're SOL. While I do sympathise, if this is the worst stunt he pulls then you're probably very lucky (I've seen a number of divorces where one side - or the other - turns into a flaming [censored] and it never ends amicably).

That said, I hope you do manage to get it resolved amicably.
