Screwyrabbit

Thank you very much for the advice everybody, I really appreciate you taking the time to help!

Sorry, wasn't totally clear.

What you see there is already in the build (which is why I'm out of INF lol), not what I am looking to put into it.

I have a lvl 50 Shield/SS tanker (see build below). I was playing him when shield first came out and had cobbled together a build. I have seen high end builds but the problem I have is influence is at a minimum (as in under 10 million inf available currently).

I would appreciate it if people could look at my build and suggest what areas should get priority for improvement as I start working towards making him better (and making some money).

Thanks!

Have to say, I really appreciate the great feedback on this post. Thank you for taking the time to give me such great answers.

I'm currently torn between an Earth/Fire and Mind/Fire, so will give both a try and see how I like it.

Again, much thanks all

I've tried some different dominators and like the class, but never gone all the way with one.

The other day, I was on another toon and the team was like "We really would like to find a (insert class combo) or a (insert class combo)" and it made me think.

If you were going to build a dom to the following specs, what combo would you choose:
1. Doesn't require huge money to be effective (at least in end game until you play enough to get better enhancements)
2. Not only helps medium to 8 person PUG's as you level but at lvl 50 will have people saying "Sweet, SoAndSO just joined and they are a */* dom...". Kind of like when a Kin or Rad joins a team.
3. Will never PvP.
4. 57 month vet - so lots of vet goodies but no ability to take the early travel power yet.

I really appreciate any feedback you may have, been trying to decide for a month with no luck so far

Thanks!

So I have a lvl 41 fire/fire brute that I love playing. I understand that there will be a need to frequently heal and he will be less than uber tough with fire armor set, but I would like to try and toughen him up a bit. To add to my problems, I have 1.4 gazillion alts in their mid to higher levels and they have magically sucked away most of my influence <shakes fist at the heavens "CURSE YOU ALT-ITIS!!!!"...>

I would greatly appreciate it if people could look at my current build, and post a build that would give me some more staying power while not using purples. I don't mind working towards sets that are more expensive in general as a long term goal, but will not have the cash for purple sets any time soon.

Much thanks in advance and happy Bruting!

I have noticed some comments suggesting /TA is a good pairing with Elec control.

Having never played /TA, I am pretty ignorant about it.

I would greatly appreciate it if people would put a few synergies between the two or possibly a standard attack chain that highlights how the two work well together.

I'm not a min/maxer, but I do love me some nice synergy in my powersets.

Thanks and happy hunting!

I just finished working on this build. I'm still learning when it comes to sets and such, but I *think* this is pretty good.

Please let me know what your thoughts are. In particular I have been going back and forth on endurance usage.

Would anybody mind posting a decent leveling build for KAT/SR plz ?

I've made almost one of everything but have never touched SR and always had the impression it was a tough set to squeeze everything you wanted in.

Much thanks for any assistance

Lots of good info...i'm torn between Grav/Rad or Grav/TA.

The thought of WH'ing mobs into a oil slick and watching them burn sounds very tempting. Then again, everybody in their mother is happy to invite a Rad/* or */rad to their team.

Curses...can't decide.

I can't agree enough with the idea of making Dimension Shift a toggle. Think about it, team is looking at a pretty hairy situation, grav troller is like "I'll lock down (more like suppressing them) while you guys carve away on the rest...tell me when you are ready for my group to be unlocked".

Definately interested in seeing Spider's build as well. Thanks for the input all! (running off to make a new MA'er on Infinity now!)

I need to make a AR/Kin guide I think I'm the only one lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

When i13 goes live I'm going to start a leveling pact with my buddy - he'll be Thugs/Pain and I'll go AR/KIN so a guide would be awesome!

What an amazing guide, I'm going to roll one up right away !

At one point I saw a post linking to a spreadsheet of all the major mob types in the game and listing what damage types they were resistant to and which ones they were weak against.

As I'm leveling up an Ice/Axe tanker, something helping me out on the lethal damage front would be nice.

Thanks for any help!

Any chance on a quick list of powers you would suggest to go from 1 to mid 20's or so? It would be for PvE only with a 50/50 split between solo/team.

Thank you very much for the awesome guide !

Thank you very much!

A long time ago I came across a website that listed all the major factions in CoH and showed what they were strong vs. and weak vs. .

Does anybody have a link to anything of this nature? My weak SearchFu has failed me (dishonor to my family).

Thanks!

I'm new to AR / Traps (only lvl 9) but I did some reading and figured this build might work well (PvE only). Any constructive thoughts are appreciated

Great guide! Now I'm back to the old dilemma of translatting all that goodness into a build. Elec/Elec has to be the toughest I've ever had to build.

&lt;tosses in 2 cents&gt;
On characters with aoe dmg like lightning field or the fire aura on my fire brute, as much as it's tempting to take it at the earlier levels, I usually build with it at around 30...this way Stamina is in place, you have SO's to help with the effectiveness/end cost of things, and this allows you to take something else (like a Stamina pre-req, travel pre-req, another key power, etc) earlier on.

Just my past experience, but of course ymmv

The thing I find amazing about MM's and PvP is it's like nobody ever heard of a little game called DAoC and the Bonedancer class. Granted the bonedancer actually had one way to spec in which you could stay alive, but in general when designing this class, they could have taken a quick look back at the thousands of pages of player input for PvP and the Bonedancer and seen all the mistakes that were yet to be made before they happened. I PvE 99.9% of the time and love the MM...but when creating the MM, the PvP issues have all been around before in other games.
