Son In Law

This really depends on your goals at 50. Do you plan on grouping more or soloing more? Personally, I'd go Defender, as you're going to bring a lot more -RES to the team which will probably make up for the (small) difference in Archery damage.

Defender Numbers (Corrupter Numbers)
Sonic Siphon -RES: 30% (22.5%)
Sonic Barrier +RES: 20% (15%)
Sonic Haven +RES: 20% (15%)
Sonic Cages: ~1 magnitude difference
Disruption Field -RES: 30% (22.5%)
Sonic Repulstion: ~1 magnitude difference
Clarity: ~3 magnitude difference
Liquify -DEF: 35.7% (25%)
Liquify -ToHit: 35.7% (25%)
Liquify -Rech: 28.5% (20%)

You'll bring about 30 more -RES to the team as a defender, as well as higher resistances to everyone else.

I would have to go with my Rad/Sonic Defender. The sets synergize very well, and there isn't a single type of debuff that isn't covered. I just finished slotting the character up, and I bring to the team:

On every enemy:
-50% Enemy DEF
-50% Enemy ToHit
-500% Regen
-75% Recharge
-25% Enemy Damage
-150% to 200% Enemy RES

Procs:
-20% RES
-20% Recharge

Group Support:
Permanent Accelerate Metabolism
Vengeance --> Fallout --> Mutation combo

Personal Stats:
Permanent Hasten (Approx 210% Recharge)
DEF capped to Ranged, Smashing, Lethal and Energy

The character is a complete beast. ArchVillains melt in seconds in ITFs. Did a Khan last week where Reichsman went from full health to dead in less than the time it took for Accelerate Metabolism to recharge.

You can hit the S/L Def Cap pretty easily by taking Mace Mastery. I think I hit it using the following:

Mace Mastery DEF Shield (2x Def IO and a LOTG)
Weave (LOTG and 1x Def IO)
Manuevers (LOTG)
Hover/Combat Jumping (LOTG)
Tough (Slotted with Steadfast Protection)
Boxing (Slotted with Kinetic Combat)

This also leaves the rest of my defenses at around 20%. If you focused more on DEF sets I'm sure you could raise the rest.

Edit: No idea why I put Corruptor in the Summary. Whoops.

I'm working on my first Defender and wanted some advice with my build.

The hero will be used mostly for teaming, but I would like to take a crack at an AV here or there. I'm not much of a solo'r though, so Teaming is my main focus.

So far, I've managed to get myself S/L Capped with Perma Hasten, as well as more END than I could possibly use (2.28 drain with 4.33 regen). I'm only using 1 purple set, but will probably eventually throw some more in there. I am using 2 Enzymes in Radiation Infection though, as they free up a lot of slots. Also, it allowed my to slot the Achilles, Dark Watcher, and Deflated Ego procs in it. I don't know how effective that would actually be, however.

With the high rate of recharge, my Shrieks are sitting at .703 recharge, so I should be able to chain shriek an Arch Villain after placing my debuffs, essentially reducing their RES by another 100% (5 stacks of -20) for a total of -130% RES.

I'm currently using the Spiritual Alpha, although I'm actually considering Musculature. With spiritual, Radiation Infection debuffs DEF and ToHit by 49%, but with Musculature it would reduce DEF by 56% and ToHit by 53%. The tradeoff would be that Hasten would no longer be perma without also running Accelerate Metabolism.

Anyone have any advice on this? It seems pretty solid, if not a bit expensive...

Honestly, reducing infamy drop rates globally would do pretty much the same thing. Against it either way, though.

I slapped together a build based off of the build you posted above. I'm not an expert on either of those Power Sets, but it seems like this would be a decent build to me. The build has 45% DEF to S/L, and about 35% to Energy,Negative, Fire, Cold, Melee, and about 20% to Ranged/AOE/Psionic. It's also got Perma Hasten for fast attack goodness.

It's pricey, but you could stay S/L capped by dropping the Gladiator and replacing the Purple in Crowd Control with a 6 piece Obliteration. Also the LotGs are probably unnecessary for the time being.

If you've actually got Ninja Run, put off Combat Jumping until later. I haven't taken a Travel Power since buying the Ninja Pack, and I don't miss it. Combat Jumping works well as a small DEF booster/LotG mule later on on the build.

Take Mind Over Body at 14. Even if you plan on taking a Travel Power, missing out on MOB will be a huge detriment to your survivability. Honestly, I'd put off Super Jump until 22, allowing you to take RTTC, Whirling Mace, and Quick Recovery beforehand.

Buildup is good, definitely worth having, although I feel like you lose a bit of its value by having it at such a high cooldown. Obviously you can't control this much yet, but once you get the opportunity, reduce the CD on that sucker.

Edit: I'd also recommend against spending a respec this early. Any mistakes you think you've made can easily be corrected as you continue leveling.

I'm all for this.

Every single character I make has the Mutation origin, as its enhancements are easiest to identify.

Mutation has things like "Awakened: Endurance Modification", "Catalyst: Damage", and "Catalyst: Accuracy" whereas Magic uses names like "The Touch of Lady Grey" and "Circlet".

Purchasing the Mutation enhancement I need is far easier than having to memorize a bunch of abstracts names for the non-mutation origins.

Do any other colorblind folks find the Incarnate/Accolade/Temp Power menus completely unusable? I can't tell the difference between an activated/deactivated power due to the colors being so damn similar. Is there any way to change the color of an activated power so that it is substantially different than deactivated powers?

I've decided to go Mind/Earth, and I've put together a build in Mids. How does it look? I've tried to avoid Purples while keeping Hasten/Dom perma'd.

Hi All,

I'm going to create my first Dominator today and was wondering about the Synergy between Mind and some of the secondaries. In particular:

Mind/Psi and Mind/Energy - These seem to be the Big 2 that I see mentioned in almost every Mind thread. What are the differences between the 2 sets. What do they excel at and what are their weaknesses?

Mind/Earth - I really can't find much information about this, but it seems like it'd work well to me. Open up with a group disable like Confusion or Sleep or something, and then run in and smash face. Am I missing something here? Is there a reason that I don't see this combination mentioned much?

My 50s are a Spines/Fire Scrapper and SS/Fire Brute, so I'm used to fighting very large groups of enemies. When people talk about soloing their Doms, are they talked 0/0, or much larger groups? I'm not exactly sure what I'd DO with this character at 50. I've got farming covered with my Brute. Maybe soloing AVs? Playing just for fun (nonsense!)? You tell me! What do you do with your 50 Mind Dom?

Hi All,

I created my first Controller for 2x XP weekend and have some questions on how Recharge works from different sources. The bulk of my confusion comes from pairing PA with Hasten and Accelerate Metabolism.

If I Slot the 3 above abilities with level 50 Recharges and activated both AM and Hasten, the recharge times look like:

141s AM
150s Hasten
80.25s PA

Do AM and Hasten help reduce each others cooldown? If I'm refreshing AM and Hasten every time they're available, am I really only looking at a 20 second downtime for PA?

I duo a lot with a Fire/Kin. If the Kin keeps speed boost on me, wouldn't that keep AM, Hasten, and PA with a cooldown lower than the recharge, essentially giving me Perma PA for free without having to spend on LOTGs and other set bonuses?

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

edit: I should note I'm incredibly new to the game and don't understand most of the mechanics. I've never gotten a character to the point that I've started worrying about 'perma'ing things or building for set bonuses.

Hi All. I'm new to the game and wanted to try out Tanker-ing. I looked at the soft cap thread and was able to sort-of put together a build, but I'm not sure what to do with most of the Dark Melee attacks, or the Ancillary Pool. I've got Soul Mastery selected right now for Darkest Night and Obliteration, but would it be worth dropping one of those for Manuevers? Any advice would be appreciated.

The build is currently sitting at 90% S/L and ~32% resistances (except psionic), and 46% S/L and ~30% Defenses. I've only got 1 slot in Resist Physical Damage since slotting it more doesn't seem to make sense - I'm Res capped with just 1 IO.

Is there anything I'm missing? How should the other things be slotted?
