Level scaling will affect the duration of the stun, not the mag. It will still be mag 4 even against +4s, or against +50s for that matter. It just won't last as long against higher con foes.

That's quite a surprise to me. I've never been able to shut off a spines warden's quills by holding them. I've always presumed it was an auto power for them rather than a toggle. I'll have to try again now. I've given up trying since it never worked. It could be that different wardens in different level ranges are coded differently and the higher level ones do use a toggle.

Confusing them has always worked for me in the past as well. It's really been the only way I know of to avoid taking damage from quills when in range, since holding them never did the trick.

There have occasionally been bugs with confuse where it shows purple bubbles even when the confuse is not in effect. I wonder if that could be what's happening here. Certain LB wardens have a leadership power that grants confusion protection, which shows by the little purple shield icons floating around those affected. Is it possible there was another warden in the room granting the spiner confuse protection?

As to the clockwork, they have strange aggro rules. I know there have been times I've tried to pull one and if I kept breaking line of sight sometimes it would ignore my attacks, to the point of allowing me to completely defeat one without it responding.

Edit: Actually I believe it's LB officers that have the leadership power, not wardens.

Don't forget that the set is shared with Controllers. It's not a great power even for them, but I'm sure some people with Gravity Controllers would not want to give it up.

Removing it just for Dominators would be a first. Aside from the changes necessary to accommodate inherents, all primaries shared between Dominators and Controllers are identical.

Ditto. It's a shame really because Miyazaki does have a wonderful imagination. He just fails as a storyteller IMO.

I'd start with the attacks that use the most endurance/time and see how that does before slotting all your attacks.

Total Focus is probably one of the last attacks you'll need to slot end redux for. Sure it has a high cost, but the numbers you should be looking at are net end use/second of activation.

During an attack's animation your recovery is active, gaining you a small amount of endurance. So calculate your net recovery per second, that is your total recovery minus the cost of any toggles. Take that times the activation time of the power, and that's how much endurance you gain during the animation of that power. Subtract that from the endurance cost of the power and divide by the animation time to get your net endurance burn per second of that power.

Do that for all attacks and slot end redux in the worst offenders first. You may not need to slot all your attacks.

This is what I do. Once you get to know your enemies and what debuffs they tend to throw around, you can preemptively chomp the necessary inspirations to keep yourself moving right along. I usually stick with S/L def on resistance-based toons, which provides solid survivability through much of the game. There are factions and specific enemies that will be able to either ignore or completely shut down that defense, but you have to decide if you're willing to make the build sacrifices to get defense to more damage types.

If that's your intention then to start out you won't even need to find takers, you can just buy the stuff that's sitting on the market. If you want a list of pool C/D recipes that fit the bill I can log on my slow seller and get you one.

I believe that healing is typically based off of an AT's base hit points. MMs, having the lowest hit point base, would have lower heals.

It may not hold true 100% of the time but if you look at heals shared among different ATs and caclulate them against base HP, they are usually consistent.

Obviously the heals aren't directly based on hit points, but rather a value in a table, so they could be wildly divergent, but the values in those tables seem to be picked based on an AT's hit points.

I have two Sonic Resonance Corruptors at 50 and neither uses the Cardiac alpha. SR is a major endurance hog and I always have to use every IO available to get more end, but it does enable me to run without endurance problems. Maybe I will have a different experience with Controllers, I can't say yet. Many of their powers are less endurance efficient, so it's entirely possible. I'm going to wait and see though.

One thing I hadn't considered is what alpha slot I will end up taking on this toon. You've got me wondering about that. If the Cardiac ends up making sense, then I could definitely see the benefit of having Tough in the build. Stacking the resistance with Dispersion is very appealing. I'll have to give it some more thought.

Hot Feet is better in every way, unless you don't count that as a damage aura.

I think Plant/Storm is an excellent combo as others have said, but with the OP not liking very active clicky sets I don't think it's likely to be the combo for them.
