This is what timed missions should be like!

I agree, global channels don't create community in of themselves. Without the option of teaming together people don't get to know each other and don't become comfortable on the channel. Not to mention that there's so much going on in the game most people aren't avidly watching all their channels.

Mag 4 baby

Well then I expect you understand the difficulties of building community at that time of the day.

Yeah, I don't like the hero side of the game either. But Going Rogue will address that.

You'll need to give a reference for an outrageous claim like this.

The only thing that changes with team size is how quickly the domination bar fills, and that's still there. Dominators were getting a bonus in PvP to account for the fact that the Domination buff could be difficult to leverage. This bonus was not a damage buff, it was built into the powers.

This post just makes you look ignorant. Perhaps you could post your own video to dispell that. But I'm happy to answer your questions, because it might be interesting to other people who also haven't soloed AVs on their Dominators.

Watch the video with Ghost Widow again. I used character movement a lot to protect myself. It seems you don't know that when an enemy wakes up they'll take a moment to turn around before attacking you. That's why I was alternating Mesmerize and Dominate and jumping over her head a lot. It's also why I had Combat Jumping on.

As for using geography and breaking LOS, all the movement interferes with casting Dominate, which has to be used every time it's up, so it usually just gets me dead. It makes sense on the other primaries, where you can immob the AV and jump up and down from behind a box to deal with them, but with Mind you're better off sleeping them and getting behind them.

In fact, I'm at a loss to understand why you thought I was "tanking" at all. Ghost Widow did get off a few shots at me, but those only happened after I missed a few times in a row. If you'd tried this yourself you'd know that it's very hard to predict when or even if the AV will break free after you miss a couple of times. The only way you know they're free is because they just took a shot at you.

I'm trying to guess your tactic to end the fight in just 5 minutes, which you've omitted from your post. You can't possibly mean that leaping around like a mad thing would speed up the battle. Most likely you're suggesting to do it with a Fire/Psi? Well yes, Drain Psyche, Fire Imps and Hot Feet will do that for you. I however thought that it was more interesting to do it with Mind/Fiery since everyone knows Fire/Psi can do it, and it's also my favoured character. Not to mention I don't actually have a 50 Fire/Psi.

You also have some pretty serious misapprehensions about Confuse. Most importantly, in I15 Confuse's activation time was 3.3 seconds. It was so long that when alternated with Dominate it prevents you from stacking enough mag to hold the AV, and definitely seriously reduces your damage output. In I16 it's 2 seconds, so the tactic may become viable. Secondly, a confused enemy will pop Tier 9s and will move around. Thirdly Dominate does damage, Confuse does not, and damage is what reduces duration of a fight. The only way Confuse can reduce the duration of the fight would be if there were another enemy around to help out.

Finally you should know that taking yellows would have absolutely no effect. The AV cons evenly to me, and I'm totally IOed out, which means at least 100% bonus to accuracy on all my powers. Of course the biggest clue is in my combat attributes I'm tracking "last hit chance" which stays firmly at 95%. If it dropped below that even a sliver you can be sure I would have turned on Tactics.

If you want some proper criticisms, why not read the rest of the thread, including these:

• If I summoned my Mu Guardian and vet reward pets I could push up my damage output.
• I should maximize my use of the Apocalypse proc by putting it in Blaze instead of Fire Blast.
• I should have used Total Domination and Telekinesis at the beginning to get an extra 12 mag and probably avoid the bit where the AV is free briefly after triangles go up.
• I did not leverage streakbreaker as well as I could have, and ended up with a few too many misses of Dominate near the beginning.
• I could generally optimize my build better for this. (Assault)

Finally as a footnote, when I tried this out in I15 test with the Dominator "nerfs" in place I did it in 25 minutes.

I like the idea of Mud Pots, but I don't expect it to work well with Hot Feet or Arctic Air because of the smaller radius. In my experience with Hot Feet and Chilling Embrace, enemies rarely got into range for Chilling Embrace, because either they ran out of the Hot Feet, I held them because they were hurting me, they died, or they were moving too slowly to get into melee range. It will work better with powers that really bunch the enemies up, like Seeds of Confusion, Mass Confusion and Wormhole.

The problem is even the Aussies can't agree on what footy is.

The thing is that those enclaves already exist. When I'm playing most of NA is asleep. Anything I try to organize in our timezone is lost in a sea of NA things, and so the new player in our timezones may never find the community.

Oh yes, there will definitely be pies, but maybe not quite what you're expecting.

Isn't there a JB Hi Fi in town?
