I've been having random lock-ups while playing CoH that have been requiring a task-manager shut-down. I've primarily noticed that this has occurred while operating various parts of the in-game HUD, however, none are consistently causing a failure. I've gone stretches of anywhere from 1 minute to 45 minutes between crashes.

What do you get when you throw in some intelligent and vocal players who really know how to play the game With people who are earnestly trying to learn the AT With some lazy incompetent noobs who try at every turn to down toe AT and it's fanbase to get the AT molded in their own image and likeness?

You get. . .the Dominator forum aka the Jungle. Cavemen, Monsters, Gods roam the land. Rednames fear the dense jungle and only the bravest of men dare walk in these parts.

[/ QUOTE ] Rawr for truth

It's a matter of consistancy. Doms can hold anything other than a Giant monster or triangles with Domination up, but the Cors/MMs can quickly hold a Boss without such special conditions being met.

I posted a thread on the sudgestions board on how to change the triangles so that we're not useless 3/4 of an AV fight.

CoH was never designed to be a PvP game, as noted by the drastic differences in powers in PvP and PvE settings. What most are more focused on is the PvE game.

Vids is exactly right on the subject. Doms do not suck, but are noticably weaker than most other ATs most of the time due to Domination being the pivot that our balance is based on. This leads to peaks and valleys, and occasional frustration(how many other ATs need to reset a mission if they die right before the boss fight?).

Additionaly, many doms on the boards feal that we are being ignored and therefore are trying to create enough of an uproar to get some atention.

As for are Dominators fun: Absoutly, but they can be difficult to adapt to and occasionaly frustrating.

RagMan's correct on the syntax, the 2.5% and 2.5% (suppressable) are 2 different atribbutes of the power, and matches the discription in-game (loose half the +def bonus when you attack), but I think the #s may be a bit high since AT modifiers take effect.

BTW: I know it's off topic, but AT modifiers for pool powers seem retarded to me. It's the same power, but it's weaker for the ATs that actualy need to take it for their only deffence.
