That is a really weird way to look at it, though. It's not like you can make a /Dark Miasma controller.
-
The problem Ice has is that Ice doesn't have any big problems. It's not amazing, it's not terrible, and the little design problems (like the widespread immunities and resistances to Ice Slick, the intraset conflict with the AOE immob, Jack's slightly thick AI) are pretty insignificant compared to the problems Gravity has.
It's definitely the second-worst control set to my eye, but the gap between it and the set above it is very different to the gap between it and the set below it. -
In addition to not being able to pluralise 'ally,' the OP isn't all that amazing at designing farms.

Ya know, I didn't read that part correctly until just now... For some reason I thought Fade was a team buff, not a team mate buff.
That's..... really disappointing me, because that means Dark Affinity gets nothing (mitigative) to make up for the loss of Fearsome Stare's -ToHit.
(Just fix Gravity already.) -
Surely the real solution there is to make Gravity no longer a pile of balls?

This thread is fascinating.

I dunno about ridiculously broken, but it sure would be strong.

I'm a fussbritches, but I think that your primary should do primary things, seconday doing secondary things, so I'm pretty fine with dark affinity lacking the better controls.

If you insist on stating things tautologically, it will always look tautologically silly.

How possible would it be to add a 2 minute "combine" function for bots masterminds?

Quote:The original reasoning - and I now speak of dark magic, of ancient lore of times long past, back before I7 - that why Controllers couldn't have Dark Miasma is because Dark had too much control and would be too powerful as a control secondary as-is. Petrifying Gaze was specifically cited.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
Not that I'd object to getting Dark Miasma for my controllers, but I don't see the connection between getting TM and DM.
Time cuts a lot of the same grass as Dark. If Dark's too potent for controllers, chances are so is Time. -

Dark Control sounds like it can be put together in an hour if they want to. lol
Dark Miasma for controllers has become something more inevitable with the release of Time Manipulation. -
Quote:Well, Dark Manipulation is already cobbled from Dark Melee and features at this point... I think five powers we can't have.Originally Posted by DarkCurrent
Apparently is coming around I22. Great. I'm all for new dom sets.
However, is it the "something special" you were told was the reason doms were not getting new sets or any proliferation with I21?
From the surface, darkness control sounds like it'll be some cobbled together set using powers already in-game. I'll also assume we'll be getting Dark Assault and that'll be a cobbled together version of dark blast, dark melee and dark manipulation. If that's the case, then color me unimpressed. -
Quote:Fortunata's really survivable.Originally Posted by Drektherok
So I am returning after quite some time away from the game. I am looking solid ranged class. I've been playing around with blaster with dual pistols/devices and like it but I'm not sure about later on in the game how survivable at solo she will be. any advice?
-
Unshifted?

Correction: I worry that some players think the game needs to be specifically tailored to their own individual needs and perhaps maybe should learn to set realistic expectations.
Dark Control sounds like it could be awesomesauce.
What forum is this thread on?
Might it be that it's not 'something special' for doms if it is, in fact, coming for controllers as well? And that it's not 'something special' and is in fact just 'something?' Perhaps even 'anything?'
Dark Control could be fine. Could be fun. It's still not what we were told was coming, or, if it is, I feel as if communication has been deliberately manipulative towards a subgroup of the community. That worries me. It worries me that there's an outside possibility that a small segment of the population that represents a whole archetype is now considered small enough that we're relatively ignorable. -
Quote:They're not useless. They do damage. And I'm sure that most SR scrappers are pretty damn useless too when there's autohitting damage flying around. But you're sure as **** not soloing whole waves of them unless you're already well-incarnated out.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Considering my one dom can handle entire waves of boss ranked ambushes solo, thus leaving the entire rest of the league to pound on AVs, I find these attempts to make Doms sound useless on iTrials pretty pathetic.
And 'doms or controllers' is not the issue. Controllers bring force multiplier powers. -
I wonder if this is the 'something special' that was mentioned.
Correction: I suspect this is the 'something special' that was mentioned.
Correction: I worry this is the 'something special' that was mentioned. -
Oh, hey, we're back to 'Doms are there to handle ambushes.' Emmet's vision: Realised!

Trollers/Doms work wonders in BAF. Especially if you're going for "Not on my watch!"

Quote:First post and the OP's point is completely missed. Almost a record.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
I would go further and I would say:
No VFX for any power pool (Leadership, speed, etc...) -
Yep. And the rising tide has changed everyone's perspective on the matter, but I still feel that the power to solo AVs on SOs makes it likely that the set is not terribly underpowered.

Quote:Wouldn't it syncing up require it to sync sometime in the first verse? Instead of just seeming kinda random?Originally Posted by TrueGentleman
Syncing up Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz is for hippies. The new hotness (circa 1999) is Lou Bega's internationally chart-topping hit Mambo No. 5 as the soundtrack to the elevator shoot-out scene in The Matrix.

I still miss Castle's fireside chats.

Quote:In a BAF, the LT mind-wiped are immune to all controls, and almost everyone has an AOE immobilize that'll do the business on the minions, but still. You can mez adds, for as long as that'll last. But the real issue is, that in trials, you're bringing damage and murder. You shouldn't be stressing about trying to control threats that are beyond you, and even if you do, you're not going to be killed by throwing chars at Siege unless nobody else has his aggro.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
Hrm. I just about talked myself into an Ice/Ice Dom and outta a Ice/Nrg Blaster. Then i saw this. So at incarnate trial levels all those cool Dom powers are pretty much a special effects show before you got rick rolled to the local hospital?
