Here's what I got so far....... let me know what you guys think. I'm trying to use Mids and what I know to build as opposed to just copying something at this point. I'm trying to learn how to do it. My main concern right now is getting the Accuracy slots right, and noticing that I didn't use any Endurance Reductions. I just don't know yet how to determine how much of a endurance drain I'll have and if a 3 slotted Stamina is enough.

Thanks for chiming in over here Salty! I think it was you that steered me in this direction to begin with!

I started tearing in to trying to understand how to slot effectively. I got Mids and I'm going to post my build to 20 and let you guys take a look. I'm only 11 or 12 right now (I had to go out of town for 4 days), but I'm pretty sure I have a free respec I can use to rebuild how I think it should be done.

Build incoming as soon as I figure out how!

Thanks for all the build advice! The verdict is still out for me on whether to keep Cages or not. I'm trying to take on some groups just using the Quicksands and to be honest, I don't really see any difference. Cages does come in handy though for the melee type of mobs, keeps them off of me when they make it out of the sands before I can drop 1 or 2 others.

My problem now though, is that I don't really have a friggin' clue what I'm doing with slotting. Is there a good guide out there on how to slot correctly in general? Or is slotting so powerset specific that I need to know how to slot for Earth/Fire specifically? It seems like any build I see is slotted out with end-game IO's, and I can't really discern if during leveling it was originally slotted with Accuracy, Damage, End Reduction, etc in mind......

Thanks Infini....... Though, I thought from reading, that Stone Cages was a lackluster choice? Any thoughts on that?

First off, THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

Great response over here! So, I'm basically looking at Plant/Storm Controller, or Earth/Fire Dom. I have to say, conceptually, I'm much more interested in the Earth/Fire Dom, but I couldn't get much help over on the Dom forum when asking for some leveling build help to get me rolling. So, I thought I would ask over here, and I hope no one minds....

So, for either Plant/Storm OR Earth/Fire Dom, could someone post for me a leveling build up to like 20ish, so I can play some this weekend without gimping myself? I wouldn't really need to know what IO's to slot, because I won't have any inf to start with. But, it would be nice to know where to slot and what to put in them considering I would only be using what drops, or what I can buy from a vendor. I would really appreciate it because it would give me a little time to get a feel for the set, and research more on how to take it from there. Seeing that I'm coming back to the game, I'm itching to bash skulls, not spend that time reading! I like to do the research part when I'm away from the game!

Thanks!

I am returning to the game after about 1.5 years of inactivity. My main back when I was playing was a Mind/Rad Controller. Over on the Controller forum, I mentioned that I wanted a new powerset to play so I could experience the new areas that Going Rogue brought. I like the total lock-down I could get with Mind, but wanted more damage output. I also mentioned that being a Dominator wasn't out of the question. Someone mentioned that Earth/Fire Dom was what I was looking for, and the concept sounded fun!

What I'm looking for, is if someone would be generous enough to post for me a leveling build up to say 20? This would allow me to play some this weekend and get my feet wet in the set, without gimping myself in the process, and allowing more time to read and learn while away from the game. Since I would be starting fresh, I won't have alot of inf, so if you could suggest slotting without using the IO's, that would be awesome! I'd just be slotting with whatever dropped or I could buy at one of the vendors.

I greatly appreciate any suggested leveling build, and can't wait to get back in game and start wreaking havoc, especially for the "other" side!

I'm returning to the game after about 1.5 years of being gone. My main in the past was a Mind/Rad controller. I played her up to around 40. I've also played Ill/Rad up to about 25 or so.

I loved the utter complete lock-down I could achieve with Mind. I want to play something new though, so that I can play the new areas that Going Rogue brought. The one drawback of Mind/Rad was that it actually got boring with that much control. It was just lock em down, take em down one by one.

Can you guys suggest a set that will provide control close to what Mind provided, with a little more damage output? I would prefer that it isn't Ill/Rad also. And I will be soloing about 75% of the time. Although this is the Controller section of the forums, I haven't ruled out a Dominator either, so if you happen to have Dominator suggestions, that would be great as well! I appreciate the suggestions!

What about all the other posts, like the ones in the "Blaster", "Controller", "Mastermind" groups? The history on those only go back like 4 pages worth. What happened to all those old posts? It was extremely useful to be able to search for a topic over a years time frame. Why even have a search function that looks for posts that are at least x amount of months or years old when the oldest ones are only a month old? There was alot of useful "guides" in those forums that were never submitted for addition to the "Guide of Guides". Is all that info gone forever now?

I've noticed the broken link to the guide of guides also! I have also noticed that several of my own personal favorites links to builds that I was using are now gone!! THis really chaps my backside and is very inconvenient at the least! Is there any way to get to those links ever again? Like are they archived anywhere? That's alot of extremely useful info that is just gone now! It has almost ticked me off enough that I want to cancel my subscription again....
