Obscure Blade

No. It's more "It doesn't do as much damage as Fire Blast, so it's worthless." Everything does less damage than Fire; that's the point of Fire after all.

I see no reason to assume that. I think it much more likely that Doms will maybe get one, then be left on the back burner again while other ATs get set after set. That's what has been happening, after all.

It's not just a phase; Dominators are well behind everyone else in the number of available sets. Even if they added a new one tomorrow, Doms would still be behind. Especially since I see no reason to assume that they will stop releasing sets for other ATs, maintaining or increasing the lead they already have.

I have been patient; I waited, and waited, and waited. Months ago I was one of the people telling people to wait and see; the result has been months with barely a word.

Like so:



And IIRC it also had clipping issues with things like feet going through ceilings.

Well, considering that you can buy regenerating flesh cheap on the market you are obviously a minority. For that matter, even NPCs probably scoop up the scattered bits from the /Regens they've been fighting and sell 'em.

Or they'll just keep on making yet more melee sets. It's not like sets like illusion or dark haven't been wanted a long time too.

Or not. Doms unlike all the other non-EATs haven't gotten anything new since Going Rogue. It's obvious that for whatever reason Doms are on the dev's backburner; even the poor neglected Stalkers have gotten more. It's not a good sign when everyone else gets multiple sets and Doms get none at all, and have none scheduled at least until next year; presumably not until next issue at best.

Especially since it's nice, reliable KB; none of that irritating "chance for KB" that always seems to fail when you need it and go off when you don't want it. If Umbral Torrent hits, it applies -kb.

Crey aren't allowed girlfriends, it cuts into the profit margin. And Malta are so confused with all the masks & code names that they aren't sure who is a girl.

"Well, 'Kitty Kat Bravo' sure sounds like a girl name...but look at those shoulders! Agent Tulip maybe?"

Except for the Hell on Earth animation; that might be capable of being repurposed into an attack as well too though if the animation can work on non-demons.

I think that a port of Whip would work well as either a Dom Assault set or a Blaster secondary set.

The voodoo that you do so well.

NPC chatter and "cutscene captions"; they are two separate channels.

There's this thread on Dark/Poison; the verdict seems to be "so-so".

Another possibility would be a Dark Melee/Shield scrapper. A very strong combo, you get tentacles from Midnight Grasp, and you get the perfect-for-voodoo Tribal Shield.



Or if you want to roll with the "magical hypnotic powers" trope often associated with snakes, there's Mind/Poison.

Far superior yes, but not perfect. Dimension Shift being changed into something actually useful would be needed for that.

Yes; it goes together well actually. Since the debuffs for enemy attacks and debuffs for enemy defenses are split into two powers you can leverage Seeds of Confusion easily. Unlike say Plant/Rad, where debuffing enemy defenses weakens their attacks at the same time reducing the effectiveness of Seeds. And Confused enemies tend to bunch up too, making the small AoEs of your debuffs more effective. Seeds + Envenom + Roots is a nice combo and available early. Plus /Poison helps with the rare Confuse resistant enemies; Nemesis can be aggravating on a Plant/.
