Nugget_

Can anyone recommend a good PVP Dominator build than I can still use for PVE?

Im just returning to the game after (very stupidly) deleting all my old toons. Now Im trying to build a Dominator to use for team PVP both in Base raids and Zone PVP, but I need to be able to solo and level fairly well to catch up with the others...

Any ideas?

After deleting all my old toons, I hardly qualify as a 'great mind'....
btw - do I still call you Grimmy?

Well aint that just coincidence... i got bored last night and dusted off the 'ol COH/V disk and it looks like most of the old gang just did the same

Unfortunatly, I deleted all my old toons when I left, but Im sure I can create a new Nugget to hang out with you guys again

/dark with leadership, no stamina, and yet only one EndRdx in shadow fall and DN? Ouch.

That bad, huh? I wasnt sure, so I thought id post here - ive never not had stamina on a toon before, but from your comment if guess it was as bad as i feared...

Looks like im stuck with teleport as a travel power (have to skip Howling Twighlight too...) which ironically takes me back to my original build back when I started him......

After a horrific respec last time, I've come up with the following... Is this a good build for PvE with some PvP thrown in?

I've gone without fitness to fit in the extra powers I wanted, so ive put a few extra end reductions in places - mainly in the set up powers.

The Group teleport is to move me and my pets around PvP zones, and I put the Interrupt reduction in Recall friend so that i can set up a 'panic' macro if i get tp'ed away from the pets, and teleport for the usual emergencies... fly will be my main travel power.

Is this a viable build? Any advice?

Anyway, is it just you 2 for suckerpunch then?

[/ QUOTE ]

Im up for it if theres a space for a MM

[ QUOTE ]
On a side note, with I8 being almost completely hero centered, how do people feel about making an EVIL alt SG on heroes?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll be up for that - not sure what to roll, but im sure ill think of something

Unless, of course, Issue 8 brings the promised Epic classes to villains...

Which of GW's patron powers are worth taking for a Thugs/Dark MM?..

I was hoping to only take 3 and use the other '40+' slot for another power, but I might need a respec if theyre all good..

250 characters per bind is the limit, and it's easily enough.

Personally, since starting my thugs/traps and bots/dark MMs, I've found Khaiba's numpad binds to be an absolute godsend.

As a reference: Pressing 3 would activate your Bruiser. Pressing 4 would make him aggresive. Pressing 9 and clicking at the mob would send him to melee. From there, 0, 4, and 7 would then tell all your thugs to simultaneously go beserk.

The numpad binds are a godsend - ive managed to come up with a few enhancements of my own (my Numlock button sends by Bruiser and Enforcers to attack, while my Punks stay as bodyguards - handy in PvP)

I was just hoping there was an easier way to send my Bruiser in than a targetting reticule cos my trackball is not always 100% reliable

Thanks for the help guys - guess my Bruiser will be Hurling concrete for a little while yet then

Is there a way to command your pet to 'goto' a targetted mob, or do you have to use the targeting circle?

Which is the 'better' of the two powers for a Thugs/Dark MM? Im planning on getting both eventually, but I'll be getting one at 35 and the other at 49 (Im currently at 31), so there'll be a long gap between...

Note: by 'better' I dont just mean more damage/quicker/knockdown etc - coolness should be factored in to [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What d'ya reckon guys?

P.S. I hope no one from our sg reads about this until after the double xp weekend - dont want them to get slack

[/ QUOTE ]

Woo-Hoo! No SG mode all weekend!!

Im hoping to get above level 15 on Lord Void this Saturday, so if anyone feels like doing the first SF on Sunday, give us a shout

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes...

Ive set up my numberic pad bind set for using my (for the moment) 2 minions using the following binds:

numpad0 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\All.txt
numpad1 bind_load_file c:\covbinds\Thugs.txt
divide bind_load_file c:\covbinds\MINIONA.txt
multiply bind_load_file C:\covbinds\MINIONB.txt
lctrl+divide pet_select_name Mayhem
lctrl+multiply pet_select_name Sketch

but, whenever i load this set i get the following message in chat:

bind "lctrl+multiply" "pet_select_name Sketch"
bind o

bind "lctrl+multiply" "pet_select_name Sketch"
bind o

note: the o at the ends is actually an inverse version - its a solid square with the o missing from the middle - im probably not explaining this well, but i cant find a way to type it...

yes, it does repeat the same message...
the binds seem to work fine though...

any ideas whats causing the messages?

I'll be there

Well, my fully Experiment compatible Science origin Fire tank has arrived - Nightfyre will be around on Wednesday - he's almost to level 10, so he should be ready....

This sounds like fun and could make a nice mid-week break... mind if I join you?... im fun and ever so sarcastic

What classes are you lacking?.... I'll see what you need before commiting to a toon...

Ive got the badge already, but if theres a space then count Steeletto in

If ya dont get enough names just be there at 7, i should be there with a team anyway with room for you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good to know - i hate being team leader

Im looking for a few good heroes to help fight the Crey threat - especially Rad defenders for the end AV

The team so far is as follows:

1) Steeletto - 33 Scrapper (BS/Regen)
2) Ice Duke - 31 Tanker (Ice/Ice) - possible
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)

Anyone interested?

Even on invincible the whole mission took less than 50 minutes, including farting around trying to get everyone in, and a few people disconnecting, heh.

[/ QUOTE ]

it wasnt a few people disconnecting - it was me repeatedly disconnecting

Thanks for a great team though guys - was great fun... especially when the titan got stuck in the tree

Im on till 9/9:30 ish on Sunday, so as long as we can finish (or at least do the important bit) before then, I should be fine - I'd prefer to be able to help out and finish the mish though.

If you have any spare sk slots, my Steeletto would love to help out

Count me in! - Steeletto, 29 scrapper, reporting for duty

Im on till around 2pm, so I should be ok.... providing it doesnt take that long

.....just back away slowly guys.... dont make any sudden moves......
