Dont expect u will be "dominating" untill mids 30s, dominators are all late bloomers, and almost all of their secondaries get their best power at lvl38...

Instead, u can get a lot of control since lvl 8 (SoC are awesome) so here is my advice... Team a lot

Cheers.

Well, it is ur opinion, i only can say i respect it

IMHO, the real problem becomes at lvls 35 or above, and on that lvls is where dominators shine and corrs start to face heavy mezzes...

Ive got an ice/kin lvl46 who i always play in teams, and it is very team oriented... Soloing is a bit frustrating... Retoggling after mezzes is just annoying

But, as i said, i see ur point. BTW, AM offers resists, no protections, so u will be detoggled...

Just 1 idea, dont get me wrong...

If u usually play solo, and u dont want to play a brute and a MM, why dont u play a Dominator??

Domis are nice soloers, believe me, have lot of experience with Doms. In fact, i think i can have a faster xp rate in my dominator than in my other toons (21 months playin CoV, im a bit Altitis, u kno...)

I wouldnt recommend u to play a corruptor coz in late game u will get [censored] off with so much stuns, and no mez protection soloing... Otherwise, doms have mezz protection when they are under domination, much easier to play.

Think bout it.

Peace.

PS: if u want a build advice, send me a msg, i would be gladly to give u a solid build for any prim/sec dominator.

Stone/Stone user here... Let me say that this toon is pretty impressive, play with it is simply easy before GA...

Im not much fan of TP, and although i have played with it around, i went finally for flight (Air superiority has nice sinergies with ur mallets), so my pools are fitness, speed, flight and presence (2 fears).

Actually, with IOs, u can easily skip the -recharge and -speed of granite, so it is easy to play it.

The way i play is always outside granite. If i get in troubles, i go into granite. If more troubles, earth embrace and rooted, and spamming fault.

The sloting must be heavy with endreds, consider at least, 70% endreds in ur mallets, fault and seismic smash. Skip tremor (meh).

Overall, SM is the best primary i have played with (tasted all primaries over 30s except fire).

Peace.

Im not very agree with */WP will be good in pvp, IMHO it has a hole against burst dmg, and that is what pvp is about..

But ey, its just my opinion ;D

Okay, ill give u 1 advice... Wait a month to i11 gets onlive and grabb a Stone/WP or a DB/Dark...

Those two are my bets of FotM on December

talkin from my experience, build up is a must for opening fights (it will simulate 50% fury bar), and also when u want to hit hard to that 'undesired' psi boss...

Better than get minerals, hit BU and Seismic, and see the big orange numbers get out of his head

I respecced TP from my granite too, as u, and went for flight travel (AS is kwl in the chain btw). Also i got the presence pool for the extra controll it provides...

Well, im coming from dominators, so control is what i like to... Control, and big orangies ;D

Peace.

Ey, i teamed u with Freshhunter a lot when Finn was in the 30s and 40s...

Yeah, nice time... Well, im heading to brutes, but im actually considering to develop a mind/fire and compare both builds, since they seem pretty fine both and I would like to test out blaze in a domi...

Tnx for the gratz, and cya in game.

Peace.

Hiya guys, tnx for ur responses...

Eiceman: Dunno, i dont have CoH, i like being evil, so no idea what would happen if i would have CoH... but i doubt i would be attracted by epics toons...

Im actually heading to brutes, so im not sure which one ill get:

A) My stoney (lvl44), i could give him a bump and hit 50, but it is so easy and plain to play (comparing to my dom) that it bothers sumtimes...

B) Ive got an Elec/Fire brute that could make me smile... I cant wait for the combo FE + BU + LR... but he is still stuck at mids 10s... anyways, it is funny to play him...

C) Waste my time with my kin, she is lvl46 and i feel like 'glue' in the teams... Dunno, maybe one day.

I think ill keep with the B) option lvling, and playing other options till i see which one is the best...

Anyways, have fun, and enjoy it.

Peace.

Yeah, it was my first 50 after 18 months, ive got lot of alt and all that stuff, u know...

But this last toon, Reminder (mind/ice) got me so much that when i hit 50 on Saturday i became sad... What to do now??

Im really heading to pvp, Im gonna do a pvp pure respec for this toon and head to zones and arenas... Ill be pwned in zones, so i dont mind... But its so sad that toon has finished...

Well, ill go ahead with my other alts, i still have 7 more toons to hit 50

Anyways, just wanted to share my feeling of megagratz and sadness... Nice mix btw...

Peace.

Nice video

I would like to give u some constructive feedback:

* Try out another duel using insps and put it again in youtube, then we all could see how the insps can change a figth. My bet is that the ice/kin corr will be the winner, but not sure

* As hammerfall said, center in ur secondary powers to build domination fast. I would only spam dominate, psi dart and maybe subdue. For this purpose u would need have psi dart slotted, just as a domination builder. Then when dom is up go with ur heavies

* When u have ur enemy locked, u could keep him almost perma-knocked slotting lift properly, and that cant be avoid with BFs... so consider it.

* In arena, confuses dont work, so dont bother with that power... Confuses work in areas, not in 1 on 1, and still there will be ppl that says confuse dont work finely in pvp, i would keep the power, but dont consider it.

* Get Telekinesis and lock ur enemies with it in a corner.

Well, my pvp experience is realtively short, im actually finishing a dom for pvp, when i hit 50 i will make a pvp pure respec for that toon... Maybe in some time i can give u some more feedback.

Anyways, enjoy it. Peace.

Hiya all again,

firstly, soz me I have been out of forums for a week, but tnx a lot for ur responses and add-ons to this thread.

Okay, lets start answering other comments:

Shanon: Yeah, i meant 1-2 secs downtime while the domination button is available and u hit it, u have to consider the animation time and if u are stuck in another animation power... I have missed sometimes the clicky and I just have to fill the bar again, but not a problem as i did it all the lvls before...

To the sniper comments: U really dont need a LotG, but u need (IMHO) to have 5 powers with 5% and 5 powers with 6.25% recharge... Those alone will get u close to permadomination (like 56% global rech), and u just have to grabb some powers to hit it... But it isnt necesary LotG if u have a snipe.
BUT, in /ice assault there isnt a snipe, so no point in thinkin this way... Anyways, u could get 2 melee powers, and with health and medicine pool u will get the 5 powers with 5%. Then if u have mind/ primary, u can have 5 powers easyly to put the 6.25% sets (easyly, gabbing mezmerize, mass hypnosis, confuse, terrify and mass confuse), and they are cheap enough to handle them.

The main problem i think is to have enough slots in your build to spare, and that will only be possible in earlies 40s... In my experience, i started with permadomination in lvl43.

The maths are literally easy... Aproximately, u will need to have 12 powers 5-slotted (watch out my previous link), so thats a total 48 slots required, plus 2 more in hasten. That means u have to hit lvl 42 to have the enough slots to spare, and that means also u dont have any other slots in the other powers u have (that will leave out the single target hold, that is painfull and its ur bread and butter power).

If u have the enough money to buy 5xLotG I think you could hit permadomination earlier, but u should have all of them and that is a lot of money (not even consideer it without a main to get the infamy this build needs).

So yeah, resuming, its only for high lvl builds.

Anyways, my little permaDooM is actually in lvl48 and trying to hit lvl50 to respec him for a permaDoomM pvp build

If u want anything else, ask it away.

Peace, and cheers.

I have heard bout that, but I feel like a little wasting-slots proccess, and this build is already very tigh to waste more slots...

Ill think bout it anyways. Tnx for the feedback

True, golden girl, i have permadomination, but I had to pick some powers to place the sets for the rech... Yeah, it is hard, but well, it is a little payment for the glory...

Since im at work, ill try to explain my build. If u want the build further explained i will go at home to the builder and will post it, but i think this will be enough.

I will make a list of powers with number of slots, powersets and how much global recharge they give.

7.5% recharge bonus
1. Combat jumping (3 slotted), 1 LotG IO, 1 karma KB protection, 1 stealth

6.25% recharge bonus
1. Mezmerize (5 slotted) call of sandman set
2. Dominate (6 slotted) decimation (BU unique IO) set
3. Confuse (5 slotted) malaise set
4. Terrify (5 slotted) glimpse set
5. Mass Confuse (5 slotted) malaise set

5% recharge bonus
1. Ice sword (5 slotted) crushing impact set
2. Greater Ice sword(6 slotted) crushing impact set
3. Aid other (5 slotted) doctored wounds set
4. Aid self (5 slotted) doctored wounds set
5. Health (5 slotted) harmonized heal (regen unique IO) set

3.75% recharge bonus
1. Ice bolt(5 slotted) tempered swiftness (not sure if this is the name) set
2. Ice blast (5 slotted) tempered swiftness (not sure if this is the name) set

TOTAL RECHARGE: 5x6.25% + 5x5% + 2x3.75% + 7.5% = 71.25%

Add hasten 3 slotted with IOs and ull have a downtime to 1-2 secs before nxt activation... Not much, but enough if u are used to. Also, u have to activate hasten ASAP.

Hope this is enough, if u need further info dont care bout asking it.

Peace.

PS: not sure how much info, but i think im around 100 mills inf, correct me if im wrong.

just some feedback in this build:

1) I would put in drain psyche a set of 5 enhances of doctored wounds, and 1 Acc.

2) Hotfeet without endreds isnt good idea. Switch to endreds or spend some sets enhances for best performance.

3) If u gonna get leaping pool, get hurdle > swift, it enhances better the jumping speed, and have beeter sinergy with leaping pool. In fact, the only time i would go for swift is for fly pool, because it enhances the flight speed.

4) psi assault is a pain to lvl up to lvl38. For the last 10 painfull lvls, I would get subdue, it has nice dmg for relatively good animation time and end.

The rest seems fine for me, although I dont like very much leadership, but i can obviously see the high benefit of that pool.

Cheers.

tnx for links, already had readed them...

I see these all threads like UFOs: All ppl know bout them, all ppl talk a lot bout them, but noone has seem them... (or at least, a few ppl )

Globey, true, but out of thread.

Peace.

If any1 would give me a cent each time I do pvp and eats a BF i would be rich... That statement is usually used by high defense and health toons users, they feel like goods with their mez protection and their dmg mitigation set (healths, resistance, defense)...

But then they usually are inconsistent when a dominator comes in play and mezzes them, they eat BFs like water when i fight them...

So just dont hear them, or if u feel a lil 'childish', scream in broadcast: "U, learn to loose... come here a die" and then use ur inps again hehe

Be aware that this last option would start a lot of chatting time that im not interested to explain, almost all of us know it...

Peace.

My build is already finished, so even u still will not be considered

And i use to play in RWZ for the simple reason that Rikties Guards can buff me if they are confused (and they use to be )... I love when i enter in the room, confuse a Guard, and go out with all mobs defeated, full of health and buffed with AM and some bubbles on me (in fact, a guard can stack the bubble on u several times)... Thats really awesome...

But again, i can stay in domination without any buffs, just with my powers and my global rech bonus.

Cheers.

Gratz on ur permabuild, Globey.

Btw, Im not so sure this is sooo extended in US servers, since it requires lot of infamy (and growing up the ammount each day), and push a dominator to high lvls (earlies 40s, maybe before).

And also, u need to have a good timing, coz when u push hasten when it is available u still will have a short 1-2 secs window to press domination again, and its easy u be stuck in an animation power when that window goes by... I feel like the rage crash when domination icon is blinking

Cheers, and peace.

being helpfull, i readed last day a thread in the US forums bout a fire/psi dom build, but I think it is a respec...

Anyways, click here and u can see it and some feedback...

Again, not sure if this is your main goal, or not, just giving you an example.

As another poster said before, I wasnt talking only from a primary set or secondary...

As a WHOLE, grav/ice can stack -slow (in both grav and ice sets) and can stack -rech (only in ice)...

And yeah, as u stated, a BF will give u 3 mezz protection in pvp (AFAIK), and in domination we are double of mag, that mezzes 6 mag. If u have been detoggled, u may be burning BFs as fast as beer

Peace.

In hitting permadomination soloing??

Im just trying to check out how many ppl has hit that status, and if so, what are your sets...

What im trying to do is to show that, although it has been loong discussed in US forums bout nerfing domination and all that stuff, It is REALLY REALLY unique to hit it, and even impossible with some set combination...

In fact, I would be really surprised if there would be anyone else answering this thread posting 'yeah, im another permadominator'...

Again, dont count with buffs like SB or AM guys...

Peace, and start with the thread

PS: Im Mind/Ice lvl46.

Wormhole is awesome, I have sleeping a toon grav/psi in lvl38 and it will be awaked when i hit 50 with Reminder...

Wormholing a group into a corner, and then spamming psi shockwave is crazy... The only matter i think it has is the short range, but u can slot it with range (and i would like to emphasize it needs at least 1 range IO).

GDF is long rech, and if u dont have PB maybe it isnt worth of it... That my personal opinnion...

If u want a panic button, try out Dimension Shift with 2 ACCs...

Also, the AoE inmob with some procs would be nice, but not much my taste...

Cheers.

Im not used to help lazy ppl, so try to post a pre-build bout what r u thinkin in powers, and maybe the comunity would help u with the slotting...

Or try to give out a build and we will give u some feedback bout how properly slot the powers..

Try out here for the build.

Peace.

For pvp, almost all controlls can be suppresed with a breakfree, and almost all pvpers bring them to pvp (both, arena and zones)

But the slows cant be suppressed with a breakfree, and thats why a grav/ice should be nice for stacking -slows and -recharge and let the enemy almost stopped and recharging all his powers...

So, for pvp grav/ice should be awesome, and add it the powerboost and u will have the enemy almost stopped in a short time.

Resuming,
PROS: stack slows, stack -rech, nice dmg at range (in ice set), pet who slows too
CONS: controls a bit long animation, controls check S/L defense, no AIM/FE power to boost ur dmg.

Overall, it seems fine for a pvper. I had a friend who had a lvl50 grav/fire and he was a nightmare for meleers... He laught at them when they tried to gank them saying 'u believed i was an easy kill??'

Have fun then, njoy it.

Peace.
