i think the reason they left it so long without fixing is simpley they didnt think many of us would ave bases that need it but i know of atleast 5 villian groups in my coalition that woudl binifit from it and going by the numbers most if not all of the top 20 on union alone not to mention the other servers

It's needed for our hero and villain groups, and I'm pretty sure we passed the 50 hours on each a long time ago.

As well as a fair number of EU groups I'm sure there must be plenty of US groups that are by now desperate for it.

But an inkling of where this might happen could help.

I DON'T have a 50 on Defaint AND Union .

There's no point to get a dominator to fight AV...
They cant control... AV, and they're dmg totally sucks until domination is up...

GMs aside atm...

My Plant/Thorns Dominator has felt anything but useless in the recent weeks I've been levelling 40 towards 50. I hope my regular team mates think he's pretty useful too .

I trio'd a bunch of AV level charcters through our arcs the other night. My Dom', a Fire/Dark Corruptor and a Fire/Kin'. I felt it was a good set we had between us. The buffs and debuffs from the Corruptors were great, but I cetainly didn't feel I wasn't pulling my weight or making an less of a contribution. I had them locked down the whole of anytime the purple triangles were down & I had a bunch of knockdowns, slows and immobs too, and I definitely felt a played a big role in managing the aggro from the AV.

There's 3, 4 of use levelling through the high levels now. All squishies and we've taken every AV that's come our way.

I've picked Poisonous Ray from Black Scorpions set as it compliments Thorny Assault nicely and it kicks out a noticeable debuff I'm able to contribute to the team. There's loads of secondary effects Dominators can play to that add value to a team or a fight.

My Dom' also has brilliant crowd control for any instances where an AV character is sitting right in a large mob or two which happens a lot as we run the higher rep's for missions.

Not sure Indigo runs purple triangles at all. I had her perma held the entire fight in a trio, whilst my teamates cleared the /Rad Warden and his crony mob she was lurking in.

When Recluse summoned his Bane Spiders, I confused them.

All in all I feel my Dom' brings far more to an AV fight than my Scrapper ever does, and I've had a far better time levelling through EBs, AVs and Heros than my Brute ever had.

Accrobatics is very good. KB from a stray Longbow etc you rolled an unlucky miss on or just didn't see is a quick killer.

The leaping pool is good for PvP also. The biggest Thorns attacks are either melee attacks or very close ranged. Depends on which attacks you have probably. Not sure fly would couple so well with the short range.

I hope this is awarded retrospectively when fixed.

I wouldn't mind seeing some further ideas on Grav/Psi, as I also have one to level up very soon. Would you consider posting your build Minotaur? I have no experience in either set this far, so any advice keenly sought .

I think it's sheer coincidence and the source must be another issue.

I teamed regulary with a /cold Corruptor to 50, often in full teams. Never ever experienced this or heard any of our teammates report it or anything that could be specifically associated with /cold.

Also been around him when pvping and not had any suspicion of anything linked to it. Could be lucky I guess.

I'm not to sure about that guide from the US side at all really.

And re' KB on Thorn Barrage, as stated it's very easily negated. I can think of plenty of times it's very useful keeping threats out of reach.

I'm liking what I've seen so far of the Black Scorpion Patron Power, Poisonous Ray and my /Thorns Dominator for just such instances.

There will be a Paragon Protector hunt soon if you'd like to document that .

Huge grats Dearch !!! Now the LRSF beckons !!!

Doesn't look like your Dom or Thermal will be far behind ! Well done dude.

Venomous badge done, and very quickly. Well done to the team, and thanks for joining the hunt!

Snow storm is great in PvP. Its autohit, it completely nullifies fly and superspeed, causes decent -recharge and automatically interrupts aid self and other interruptible powers on the target. It is also useful in PvE. I definitely recommend trying to fit it in here somewhere.

It's probably one of the cornerstones in any nasty PvP build...

*shakes fist at Kandy Kane*

Apologies, hoping to kick off around 8ish.

It's possible there might be more/another bash later on too.

A few of us hunting Toxic Tarantulas around Grandville tonight for the Venomous badge. There should be some spaces on a hunting team for anyone else who would like the badge and the unlockable contact .

Grats!

Huge GRATS! VOTE NICE !

GRATS! Your 1st villain 50 !!!

I see no use for repel



[/ QUOTE ]

You may see no use for Repel in you build or you style, but dismissing the power or it's use by others is a little misleading.

Simple advice on how others have alternate uses for it is just as valid as advice as to reasons it might not be used. Different players use powers differently in different situations.

I've had Repel used on my /regen very effectively in some instances. In combination with other powers, it's toggle drop and the resulting KB, used in strategic parts of the environment made things very, very difficult.

Maybe it fares better or worse against other sets. Perhaps there's equally times and places a power can be used well, or not used well?

Ok cool . I'm happy to wait until you do a buff/debuff heavy run as that has the interest for me, seeing what's used, organisation etc . I can do a Nuke charge with my SG anytime so I don't mind missing out on those runs at all.

...yes aid other is generally possibly more useful, but it takes more slots to get good use out of it, it's interuptable, has a shorter range and requires opening a new pool set.

[/ QUOTE ]

A pool that will grant the added benefit of the Excellent Aid Self . But then I intend to be abusing my traps in a bit of PvP & Base Raids where Aid Self is fantastically beneficial .

Could I ask for a place on one of the forthcoming runs please?

Completed previously, I am interested in seeing other team runs at this .

I will bring whatever is required in the way of Nukes/Shivans, although I am most interested in experiencing the non-nuke version .

Level 50 Elec/Elec Brute - @Evil Thistle. Thanks!

Tbh even with Robots/Traps I found Repair utterly redundant with Aid Other in my build.

Feel welcome to send a gloabl tell @mighty', @evil thistle, @razgul, @mr nice, @serophina or @gani to find out about The Evil Echelon.

We have hero & villain groups. Laid back and friendly. All altaholics that enjoy teams, tfs/sfs, badges, trial, events and a bit of PvP . There's a bunch of set stuff we have going on certain nights of the week to pick on choose from etc etc.

If we don't fit the bill, I heartily recommend The Fallen Femmes for your Stalker . Awesome friendly folks too!

Big grats Snow! Cool start to the new year !

A great and friendly player always !
