Working on a build for one now. At work so I'll post in a few hours when I get home. Just wondering if anyone had any insite on this build at all? I'm used to playing a Dark/Regen, but the survivablity of regen mixed with a bit of end drain from Elec seems like a decent mix. I also like the fact that you can use the placate proc.

I was also wondering if I could skip the fitness pool and just take Phyisical Perfection from BM? I know this works out well for PvE but not sure about PvP. Thanks in advance

Okay, I just got done leveling my first dom to level 50, and now I feel it's time to get a troller there. I am rolling an Illusions / Storm controller and so far it's a blast. This build seems super end heavy. My main questions are, should I take SI and Steamy Mist or just one? If I do just take one which one should I take? Also I like to PvP quite a bit. This build seems it would do well in solo arena and such, but what about zone? Not so much on the storm end in zone but the Illusions? Would pets draw to much agro? Any tips are welcome be it on power choice or playing strategy. Thanks!

Just got my first dom to level 50 last night! Earth/Elec, and I didn't pick up my AoE Imob until I had Stalagmites and it was slotted some. It works nice for a PvE build pared with Stalagmites and Soul Drain from GW. It's also not bad with Volcanic Gases or if you team with a /Storm, Ice, or anything else with a scatter rain. Not to mention if you are on a team with more than one Dom they will most likely use it when you drop Earthquake anyways lawl. Happens to me ALL the time.

Yes, it is impressive that Castle FINALLY did something right with power sets! *WOOOOO CLAPS* Now if you would fix the rest of the stuff you ruined like my def on my stalker and how my damage bonus doesn't read right with DR on it would be great! K thanks bai.

The AoE Imob is crap in the early levels, but it is a nice combo to use with Stalagmites later on for a sort of ghetto AoE hold. Just my 2 inf worth.

I transferred a mid 40's bane over to Freedom yesterday. You guys seem like a fun lot to goof off with. Now to hit 50 and slot, oh and beat the hell out of Bluesting just for [censored].

+1 for you my good friend! Best Video ever!

Hay guys looking for a bit of knowledge here. This is my first Dom ever and he just hit 34 good times! He is great fun to play in PvE right now. His build is Earth Control/Electric Assault. PvE play is pretty self explanitory drop your target holds (Quicksand, Earthquake, Volcanic Gases) but what about in PvP? With the way slows work Quicksand seems useless, except for the -Def of course. I figure on taking Stone Prison and Fossilize for the -def and the slight hold in Fossilize. Not sure what other kind of strategy to use with quicksand and the other target control/debuff attacks? Should I still take Earthquake? Most of the doms I see are always on the move hard to see Volcanic gases and such used as much in Zone PvP?
Any strategy you guys have for this build will help. I do plan on taking Mu for my EPP and focusing on end drain and damage from my secondary. Just really the Primary that has me a bit worried. Thanks for any help in advance =)

My blaster got a kill ratio of 7:23 last night. I know right I rawk! Can I come be one of the cool kids no! I mean I almost killed ah...wait what is that...*SMACK!*

THAT IS THE SOUND OF NO ONE GIVING A [censored]!!!!!!

Just a thought maybe go Prye instead of Earth. More so if you go Fire/SS Rage+firey Imbrace= nasty damage out of Char, fireball, and fire blast.

Is Dark Armor viable with Super Strength? I was having a discussion with a friend about it yesterday and he said no way. He said the end crash from both Hasten and Rage would be to much to over come even with IO sets. We want to try and do this without conserve power.

After some arguing we decided that it might be doable on a tank but no way on a brute. I know this is the tank forum but is this possible for either one, or maybe one and not the other? Thanks for the advice in advance.

Phosphorescency thanks for the build. I used your guide to get my Ax/WP to 50 as of last night WOOOO! Anyways, I am a RP'er and a PvP'er at heart. I have a tendency to get into Arena matches. I don't need to be uber by any means, but is it possible to make this build decent? You say not to go for an uber recharge build. Is this because of the animation times? From what I figure the long animation times should give me a better damage in Arena matches. If you have any advice on this I would appreciate the help.

Advice: Keep Hide+Stealth running and nobody can see you if you stay out of melee range, so keep your distance by jumping around until you see someone that you can kill with one shot. Make sure you have phase shift available before you attack. Attack with BU + your strongest attack and then phase immediately as you run away. When you're in the clear (hidden), drop phase and wait for it to recharge before attacking again. As you get better, try using BU + Assassin Strike for your one-shots before phasing and/or unload more than one attack before you flee.

By following the above advice, you will be virtually unbeatable, and should be able to "fight" for hours on end with very few (or zero) deaths. Any nub off the street can do that. How long did it take to read that advice? Hopefully, less than 60 seconds…

Ya, you could run around and not die. Sure you could not come out of hide..but you're not going to kill a damn thing. That is just pointless. Also the best attack chain , imo, would be Patron Hold (Soul Storm), build up, Placate, AS, then your strongest attack. Even you won't always kill the person. This is with a 50% Damage bonus without build up. It used to be way easier. I also personally use Shadow Meld instead of Phase.

Stalkers are great for beginners to learn on, and Dom's and Blasters are a lot harder to play as well as Defenders. But if you are going to be active and want to be "GOOD" it takes more skill than "LOL you can't see me" to be a stalker.

So let's put our skills to use and pick on Master Minds hmmm? lol jk

I have never played a stalker before, but here is how I see any stalker getting kills.

Buildup
AS
Heavy melee attack
Trow Fishy

Not all of us run the Mako pool. And if you think that is going to kill a WP or a Regen HA! And what "Good" pvper as you say is going to stand there long enough to get AS'ed then hit again? Even if they do with the new +Res to squishes in PvP it won't "ALWAYS" kill them. Unless he is being attacked by others..and then we are in a whole different conversation about Team and Zone pvp. Anways, you can bash stalkers that's fine. It's easy mode..for nubz and you Lulz at them all. But because you have NEVER PLAYED ONE....you really have no idea...

im so waiting for virtual reality pvp, if u die in game u die in real life, that way we can weed out the losers.

+1 for that post

I personally enjoy the hold. If slotted for damage it does a decent amount of DoT. It's also a knock up and a hold so that helps to keep your target off it's feet long enough to Placate and crit or AS. The hold is also nice to detoggle rad debuffs and other types of Anchor debuffs you might have on you.

The snipe is nice as well just situational. I like to open with the snipe, hit Soul Storm (LOL), then placate and AS. When it crits and Procs it does some mean damage. Also the Snipe sets are pretty nice IMO.

It's always good to have another O crap button, but depending on your build and recharge I would say you can leave out Shadow Meld being a Regen.

So in short I would go with the hold for sure and then depending on your play style stay with Dark Blast or go with the Snipe. Hope that helps man.

Hay, hay, hay now...don't get on that rant. I would like to see you give someone a level 50 stalker and one minute worth of instructions and see them not die for hours. Once you're out of hide it ain't easy to live in a PvP zone. EVERYONE is gunning for you and with the changes to def. in i14 you get hit more often than not. They also changed phase so if it bothers you that much..phase back and kill em. I will agree that it's nice to pick your fights and it's also nice not to get ganked by NPC's in the zone, but people can still see you even if you are stealth capped. Any scrapper running tactics and Focus Acc can see you with a Clear Mind or hell just a tier one yellow insp. So lets not go throwing stones in glass houses hmmmm.

Sure the guy bragging about how great he is maybe going a bit over board, but don't put us all in that easy mode boat. Especially us Ninja Blade Stalkers...thanks

I have some advice for you on PvP...



































LRN2PvP NUBLIT!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

HAY, HAY, HAY!!! That is just unfair my friend! Not all of us RP'ers are whiny. Some of us enjoy PvP and I know that the group of people I run with Miss Pre i-13 pvp. Sharks don't really bother me as much as holds bother me. I mean they basically took a majority of the strategy out of PvP in i13. And I will agree that Def was a bit over the top in i13 but they killed it again in i14. I mean come on don't go from 30% to 10% how about 15%?

Sorry for Ranting off of topic.....MOAR SHARKZ!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA

I think that all this la-dee-freakin-da everyone is equal and special in PvP zones if a bunch of poppycock! Give me my zone with no DR, no damn TS, no Heal Decay, and for the love of GOD bring back how holds work! "IF" they do this I will almost guaranty that RV will not be used at all if only for Farming pill boxes.

P.S.

Devs even if you don't change PvP back to my beloved days of old, please, please just stop messing with it. It's getting really annoying to finish specing my characters into their IO sets, and then having to go and change them ever time a new issue comes out! Thank you..and I think someone should Siege the "Castle"....idiot.

Ohhhh, so what you are saying is fighting a MM in a 1v1 arena duel if not on another MM is damn near impossible. Unless of course you are a MM, or have a crazy AoE farm build. Oh CRAP I said Farm...*runs from the ban hammer*

TP foe + Web-nad = Dead Master Mind.
