I've teamed with you today... shame we now know this horrible truth.

[/ QUOTE ]

Whats the horrible truth then?

Best use of terrify is to let some other mug..erm player take the aggro 1st, either that or a handy dandy shivan. I've experimented with a mass hypno/terrify combo to try and nullify the aggro you get for the few seconds before terrify kicks in. Not sure how useful it is as I tend to play by the seat of my pants. I still have mass hypno at lvl 43, its a good lifesaver although its getting used a little less now I have things like mass confuse. Levitate is worth picking up to keep bosses off you while you stack holds, although you can always get the same result with mesmerize anyway. (I prefer levitate seeing as most teams tend to pile on the boss and wake him up).
Nemesis resist a lot of control powers, and carnies are frustrating when you play mind/psi. No fitness is certainly possible as long as your careful with DP. If you get careless with it (nothing is in range or using it before its needed) you might be panting for breath later. Not sure what your idea is with flight, is this just to get kb protection from hover?

edit: Not sure about total domination. I keep it around as a back up hold to quickly hold bosses and melee players in pvp. The area part is more of a bonus for me.

So spill the beans Frosty what is the Mako pet like?

[/ QUOTE ]

Wish I knew, I havent gotten that far yet, soon though. Until then, the safe money is to bet against the pet being much use :P
Prolly give it a try on test when it becomes available. Speaking of which, I still have a copy on test with water spout & bile spray if people are desperate to have a look at them.

Inspired by the regen brute idea I rolled up a dark/fire yesterday. 2 heals and (later on) 2 endurance recovery powers with dark consumption and consume. Level 11 and so far it seems pretty good, be interesting to see how long it can maintain a full head of steam later on.

[/ QUOTE ]

My dark/fire brute is currently Level 24 and I'm still loving it! With the recent changes, and I already had Healing Flames 3 slotted with reduced recharge, I rarely have to pop a green or a blue (courtesy of aforementioned end recovery powers).

I deleted my stone/stone brute as I found it very boring - I only got to level 18 with him.

Cambo Snr.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds awesome
I had a feeling it would be a good set of powers once fury gets pumping.

Bile spray isnt too bad and the animation prolly looks better from any angle but the one you see it from. Its good for me as its another non-psi attack to help against psi resistant groups. I expect it would be good if you bunch the mobs up and use cones and AoE's (a popular plant/fire strategy). Its worth trying the powers on test, I had my heart set on water spout until I tryed both powers.

no 2nd team this week as I cant get on (pc is dead as pointed out in another thread). Doesnt stop anyone else who wants to team doing it though.

Grav/thorn eh?
Where did I see one of those before?
I dont know what its like at higher levels but I'm enjoying mine, certainly gives me a few "oh no!" moments though. I expect wormhole should help a lot, and aid self, which you will be able to use safely during dimensional shift.

[ QUOTE ]
HOW many ways out the base would you like?

[/ QUOTE ]

How far do expect to get?
If your forced into a defending strategy surely it makes more sense to defend the area with all the drones and machine guns/10 million long bow. Seems more clever than making a break for the rings anyway.

Teledroning is A foul tactic that people use to cuase arguments.


[/ QUOTE ]

LOL.
Thinking twice about kamikazeing a 15 man gank squad pushed right up against your base isnt "chicken". Recently though I just leave the zone, I can do without "come out your base noob, we pwn joo". If the zone goes empty you can blame the base campers.

[ QUOTE ]
It depends a bit.
I just love the ST immob on my ice domi. Stacks slow and - recharge and that's golden.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking of doing the same thing on my ice dom. I wasnt aware it messed with hold supression though.

nevermind.
You said GM but i read AV :P

In the westin phipps mission where you need to kill hugo how many holds can I expect to have to stack before they take effect. I dont see any triangles but this guy has stupidly high mezz protection. Even with domination going it was about 3 or 4 holds to keep him down for a while. He also doesnt seem to respond to sleep.

[ QUOTE ]
wait for wormhole

propel will ever be THE signature power of grav... i mean... it has too if not why would it exist...

btw... FLASHFIRE ROCKS !!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I wont be takin propel, I think I have better assault powers in my 2nd set.

[ QUOTE ]


Yep, was a good night, we seemed to really know each others powers as well, maybe cos we had 3 gravs and most of our powers were the same :P

[/ QUOTE ]

hééé the fire/fire was good too

[/ QUOTE ]

I just meant we know what most of the others powers do, seeing as 3 if us had the same ones. Dimensional shift is a bit fidly though.

[ QUOTE ]
Hey I got an idea. What if we would grab known PvPers, Unionites for villains, Defianters for heroes, and meet in test server recluses victory? I don't know when I'd have time for it, but what do you think about the initial idea?

[/ QUOTE ]

Prolly better in another thread. Seeing as its a bit unfair for union heroes and defiant villains I'd also have another event where those 2 get to compete.

[ QUOTE ]
another good night with I think it was 5 of us in the end? I'm really starting to enjoy playing dominators now, so much so that I think i'll start playing another one during the week to keep my appitite satisfied!

[/ QUOTE ]

ooh, what sets? I love that new dom smell, I think I have 5 now
I admit it, i have a problem!

[ QUOTE ]
PPS. You may need to link to the dom guide you mentioned again. Its not the 'generic' dominator guide, is it? Because I already found some points in which I disagree with it.

[/ QUOTE ]

If it is you need to read it again as there was a surprisingly simple solution to a dominator playing problem you mention on another thread. I wouldnt put too much faith in a pvp dom until the late 30's btw, the extra slots really help a lot. I would also start again with other sets, /en is a bit of a bugger for doms who want to pvp in sirens. I have one festering away on defiant but if i was to respec him I'd go for something like this:

Archetype: Dominator
Primary Powers - Ranged : Mind Control
Secondary Powers - Support : Energy Assault

01 : Power Bolt Empty(01)
01 : Levitate Empty(01)
02 : Dominate Empty(02)
04 : Bone Smasher Empty(04)
06 : Combat Jumping Empty(06)
08 : Stimulant Empty(08)
10 : Power Blast Empty(10)
12 : Telekinesis Empty(12)
14 : Super Jump Empty(14)
16 : Power Boost Empty(16)
18 : Aid Self Empty(18)
20 : Hurdle Empty(20)
22 : Health Empty(22)
24 : Stamina Empty(24)
26 : Acrobatics Empty(26)
28 : Terrify Empty(28)
30 : Total Focus Empty(30)

I would possibly swap TK out for confuse, mesmerize or maybe hasten.

Hi second dom team are you full? I have a level 11 grav/fire I'd like to bring along, name of Tar.

[/ QUOTE ]

Should have loads of room. Actually looking pretty empty this week :S

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
same time as usual.

[/ QUOTE ]

remind me again?

[/ QUOTE ]

7.00.
Unless you live in France like ken titus, in which case its 8.00.

If you want to use this in SC it might be worth getting accrobatics in there before lvl 30. Levitate is also with grabbing to bounce players around during supression, its also unaffected be CM which is something to think about.

Its time again. Lets hope the servers dont throw another wobbly this week. Port Oakes, same time as usual.

Welcome! :O)
I use psi dart to build domination fast, as it charges quick and has a low animation time. Anytime I try a new dom I look for an equivalent power with those same properties.

[ QUOTE ]
See two pages back, the Beach Hotspot takes over half an hour to start without player intervention; which usually leads to that player's death.

[/ QUOTE ]

Surely that would affect villains as well, making it just as hard to take the temp powers back. I always start the hotspots off by pulling the oppresive longbow pigs into the couragous ranks of waiting Arachnos anyway.

[ QUOTE ]
ps: i wil never understand why heores find stalker to be so uber when they have a temp power they can buy at siren that do +perc (thing that we vilains lack)

[/ QUOTE ]

It's only available when Heroes control the zone, which the Beach bug makes almost impossible, without dedicated help.

[/ QUOTE ]

beach bug?

[ QUOTE ]
Its not like power blast and bolt build domination ANY FASTER than the mezzes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Assault powers generate more domination points than control powers when they hit players. I use both ways of playing. If something can be easily controlled I will mezz it so it doesnt kill me (eg blasters, some controlers) and build domination off players that take a long time to hold (eg scrappers, tanks).
