Quote:Ah, there you are wrong! The THB Market is flourishing! Less than 24 hours after its induction, the thread it was first introduced in has reached 10 pages!Originally Posted by Trilby
You started it to boast about your build. So build, not builds.
And the twoheadedboy market, kinda wearing thin as a joke. So far all the stock is crashing under the weight of the lulz you produce.
And others are welcome to post builds also. My friend has a Plant/Psi/Ice Dominator that actually exists. He's working on finishing up some accolades and incarnate powers and then we're going to start our round of friendly competition.

Is this the point where the OP tries to play it off like he was trolling the whole time because he just got TOLD by everyone in the forums?
I started this thread with the best of intentions, to raise awareness of high end, powerful builds and to promote the TwoHeadedBoy Market, a great service for the entire community to enjoy. -

And, again, I was right about BM being underperforming. It is a globally accepted underpowered set.
Are you done being wrong, Screwdriver?
Also, you're not Sherlock Holmes. It's hard to 'undercover' something that wasn't hidden in the first place.
You are, however, wrong.
I find it amusing that you are still attempting to argue with me after you were defeated in battle. You do not have a Dominator that meets the qualifications of the original post. I would be surprised if you even had a Dominator that could solo 54x8, given the fact that you seem to completely lack an IO build and accolades. You have proven yourself to be a dishonest person. You have attempted to usurp my claim and throne based on theoretical information that you cannot prove to be true. You have been defeated. -

Quote:Right, because that convenient cut and Inspiration tray placement is completely coincidental! I understand now. So you started having extensive conversations with people before taking the time to fix your UI? I have never experienced this 'glitch' of which you speak. I also find it amusing that you do not know that the down arrow on the chat window will in fact minimize it.Originally Posted by Reppu
Siiiigh. That was due to the stupid Inspiration Box glitch. My Inspiration Box is generally near my powers. My apologies for 'hiding' my Set Bonuses, too. Would you like my Mids Build? I simply didn't bother to know where the cut happen ( I was actually hiding my cat window because people I have having conversations with do not need to be subject to your debauchery).
And yes! A Mids export proves so much. Sigh.
Quote:You have a lot of nitpicking. And lost anyway.
Hmm.. I lost? After I called you out on making up a character? After it turned out that the character you actually have is not capable of what you claimed to be capable of? Sure, that makes sense. I have a responsibility to defend the innocent civilians from your treachery.
And this is how one would go about posting a screen like that when they have nothing to hide. Allow me to put your "stretching out the forum" concern to rest.
-
That's a very convenient cut, right before where your set bonuses would be! Hmm. Do I sense the shame of a sub-par build?
Congratulations, though. You have proven that a character who does NOT meet all the criteria presented in the original post does in fact exist. You have proven yourself to not be a completely treacherous person.
Unfortunately it is too little too late. You have already violated the rules of the thread by arguing the merits of a character that does not even exist. This theoretical Plant/Psi/Ice Dominator that you spent the better part of your posts here bragging about turned out to be a figment of your imagination. I'm sure you can understand why I was skeptical about anything else you said being honest.
Also, a very convenient coverup of your buff bar! Is it possible that you not only suffer from a sub par build, or lack of one at all, but also a complete absence of Incarnate abilities and accolades? Hmmm. Now, none of this really matters, as you have already proven that you are not capable of any of the things you claimed to be capable of. It just does more to call in to question the integrity of anything you say at all. -
Quote:Sorry, I honestly didn't even mean to be sarcastic or insulting with that. I should have scrolled down and found your name, I was just double-fisting conversations so I got distracted and rushed through the post. I sincerely apologize for insulting you.Originally Posted by Cag
I am sorry but it would of only of taken a moment to scroll down and find out 'whats his name's' name. That would be me, your have dictated to Reppu that you basically do not tolerate insults, and I see your point. But you sir, have just insulted me.

Quote:See, now you are picking at my build choices. If I wanted to, I could have Aid Self and Hoarfrost. I could also use Barrier for team +defense and carry Break Frees. I choose not to do those things because it does not suit my playstyle. I have played a s/l softcapped version of my Blaster also- Once again, it's a BUILD CHOICE. I get better overall performance being able to softcap all positions with one small inspiration. By swapping between destinies and doing a respec, I could accomplish all of the things you listed also.
-Capable of increasing party Defense, Resistance, Regen, and Endurance Gain ontop of everything else.
-Two tools of Self-Healing outside of Inspirations.
-Minimum Soft-capped Defense with out the use of Inspirations.
-Does not waste Destiny on Clarion.
-Does not waste Inspiration Slots on Break Frees. -
See, you say "far better" on subjective matters. There is no "better" way to take and absorb an alpha strike. Once it's absorbed and taken, it's absorbed and taken.
You can solo Malta and Carnies "far easier"? Well I bet you can, on your character. Just like it'd be easier for me on MY character. Subjective reasoning once again.
"Sleet beats Drain Psyche as a debuff" is subjective also. Let's see if Sleet is enough of a debuff for you to solo a GM without any outside damage sources.
Sure, you'll be better at controlling, but unlike you, there is nothing on the list that I CAN'T do. The rest is all just your opinion vs. my opinion. Unfortunately since there seems to be criteria that you do not meet at all, you are not a viable contender.
Of course, now I don't even know if you have a Dominator at all! You have established a track record of fabricating characters. For all I know this Dominator does not exist either. -
Quote:Hmmm. So to summarize:Originally Posted by Reppu
I could probably compete easily with Plant/Dark/Ice. Again, it has better AoE than /Psi, and Drain Psyche isn't needed in farming. Will I do this, though? No. I'm not interested. I'm not here to dispute in-game performance. I'm not a Farmer. I don't play on Freedom for that reason.
I'm simply providing numerical evidence countering his claims. Ones he cannot dispute. He simply chooses to ignore this and focus on his Farm Time and Burst Damage.
... And didn't I say he probably out-farms a Dominator anyway? I swear I keep doing this. I am NOT disputing this fact.
-Your Dominator CANNOT solo GM's.
-Your Dominator CANNOT compete with my Blaster's AOE.
All that you have left is beating me out against an AV. Even if you're able to do that, it would seem that you are the only dishonest poster in this thread. You have argued that an imaginary Dominator you do not even have is better than my Blaster, while concealing the fact that your own Dominator is unable to do the things that my Blaster can do.
I do not appreciate your misleading statements and your attempts to discredit me through nonexistant characters. I also do not appreciate your asserting the superiority of a character that you do not even have when it comes to accomplishing feats that I have actually accomplished. It is underhanded and dishonest. -
Quote:Ah, I see! I guess that's what you'll be using then. Now you are tasked with farming faster than my Archery/Mental Blaster and soloing an AV faster than my Archery/Mental Blaster. Dechs has offered to sit in on both counts as an impartial judge. I won't make you fight a GM because that'd just be mean. I can solo GM's and you can't. I don't care about your excuses or your logic. You can't do things that my Blaster can do AT ALL, and I'm willing to bet the things that you CAN do, I can do better.Originally Posted by Reppu
Yes. I have done all of this. It was my successful ploy to your logic. Now, let me correct you...
When did I ever say this was MY Dominator? My Dominator is Plant/DARK/Ice. I trade Drain Psyche for a superior AoE and Single Target game. Immensely superior. And I'd argue it might be superior, except for GM Killing, since not having Drain Psyche is very painful, but Dark boasts vastly superior ST Damage in it's attack chain, and a superior AoE.
And I'm willing to prove it, so put up or shut up. In the future, I recommend that you don't argue that something that doesn't even exist is better than something that does exist. It's silly. -
Quote:I accept! Are you free Wednesday evening?Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
I'll offer a solution that doesn't involve transfers.
You can each PL one of my characters on your respective home servers. I'll time both journeys. I'll even use characters I have no interest in playing so that I have no benefit to the process. -
Quote:You're entitled to that opinion, certainly. I said "around the two hour mark," though. I never said "exactly two hours." The overall point still stands that I can compete with high end farming builds speed wise. This is a point that has been contested, and is really the heart of the matter. It's a point that I have been asked to prove, and so I have scheduled to prove it tomorrow due to scheduling. I don't see what more I can really do at this point.Originally Posted by CyberGlitch
Since you figure was off by almost 20%, I'm starting to wonder if you really meant:
-You PRETTY MUCH solo +4/x8 Malta on MOST occasions, SELDOM with any fatalities and RARELY with any outside help.
-You ALMOST defeated two +1 AV's within 20 minutes of each other.
Etc. etc.
See, the key to credibility is, you know, being credible. That means not fudging your numbers in the first place. Note that it wasn't us that made the original claims, it was you, posting them as fact and not approximations.
Surely you can understand why questionable comments made on your own part subjects your entire claim to further scrutiny?
Now personally, I believe MOST of your story, +/- 20% embellishment. I've never been a player to state that Blasters were underpowered. Some certainly need help, but not all of them. You've pretty much set a tone here that negates all the arguments thrown in favor of Blaster Buffing and for that, I'm sure your fellow blasters appreciate you holding up the AT as it was intended. -
I see you have yet to even try to refute my theory that your Dominator does not exist. I can think of no other reason for your bold assertion of superiority paired with your unwillingness to prove any of your points! Have you fabricated this Dominator of yours? Have you actually achieved any of the things you claim to be so much better at? Or have you simply been asserting that your spreadsheets are better than my spreadsheets?
-
Quote:Oh, now I have to prove my worth to you? And you expect me to pay you when you are the one claiming to be my superior? Nice logic.Originally Posted by Reppu
I'm sorry, but you have yet to provide evidence of your own accomplishments. I have requested videos of your exploits to provide a comparative analysis of how they compare to your major tangent of being superior to: SS/Fire/MuORSoul Brutes. Please provide this evidence that you are superior in all given fields above them, and perhaps I will consider you worthy of my challenge.
Please have the videos and the $20 USD ready. As well as your 1-50 in 2 hours video. -
Quote:I gave a general time frame. I never said it was exactly 2 hours to the dot. The point is that even if my figure is off, I maintain that I am as fast as the average high end farmer. I'm racing what's his name tomorrow night, so we'll have that discussion tomorrow. At least I'm sure that his character is real. Reppu has probably confused their spreadsheets with an actual character that exists in game.Originally Posted by Dz131
Yeah just like you back up your accomplishments. 1-50 2 hrs? Ok brah
-
Haha, nice excuses. I see that you are very good at talking, but are unwilling to back up your talk. This to me is not a very good trait. You claim to be my superior and yet when you are asked to prove it, you offer nothing but excuses. I would not be surprised if this super Dominator of yours did not actually even exist.

Quote:That's funny, because all you have done is post long-winded math rants without any accounts of in-game experience. I will happily compete with you on Freedom server in both AV and AOE speed races. We can make it into a triathlon if you'd like to suggest a third event.Originally Posted by Reppu
Sorry you feel that way. But since you cannot prove the other facts of your "This is what makes me superior" are better than the Dominator, and insist that your potentially superior Burst Damage/Farm Speed means you win... haha no.
I declare officially Plant/Psi/Ice is the One Build To Rule Them All, on account of being superior in almost every field but Farm Speed (arguable).
Thread over, ladies and gentlemen. Get your refunds at the door. -
Quote:I have inspiration macros. I don't need break frees most of the time since I rarely get hit with mez through my defense. If I need a break free though, I click a macro and bam! Break free. That's if I don't have one sitting there already anyways.Originally Posted by Reppu
Wait, it's not Permanent Clarion? That means you have to wait 30 seconds or mix your tray with Break Frees AND Purples?
That is a massive weakness you didn't let me account for. When it comes to those two enemy groups, you fall back even further. -
Quote:Originally Posted by Reppu
... That is not how averages work, Screwdriver. You're looking at front-loaded values by not applying how they work due to not being Permanent Buffs. Again, Build Up at the 400% Recharge Cap is worth roughly +15% Permanent Global Damage, and Aim is half that. This is slightly less because you suffer from a Recharge Dependent Action. This is how City of Heroes works. You can't ignore it because it makes your build look worse.
You're also still ignoring Sleet, which is a permanent -30% Resistance and Defense Debuff (Yes, it is Perma), and a potential -20% Additional Resistance on top of that with IOing and a bit of 'luck'. Face it, the Dominator is either Winning, or Equal, to your Single Target. IGNORING Carrion Creepers and Venus, because you have a Pet Stigma (And an irrational one, as it only serves to play your build as Superior.)
If I want to get even MORE technical, the Plant/Psi/Ice goes even beyond it's own HP limits! Carrion Creepers is an endless wave of aggro-grabbing bodies, providing a cushion of 1064 HP per Vine spawned, with a 50% Chance to spawn additionally on use and every 10 seconds! If you're at a 18 Cap Limit, that's going to average out to an additional 9576 Soaking HP for the Dominator, every 10 seconds.
Every. Ten. Seconds.
You can't even begin to compare to that, let alone the fact they are providing constant explosive AoE Proc damage and their own innate damage, above everything else.
You have no comparison to literally spawning +10k HP every 10 Seconds for yourself. Which goes above the target cap due to the individual Bushes and Vines having their own whims.
Delicious.
Oh, and Venus is another +1067 HP, so it's more like 11k.
Please look at my previous post for Defense/Resistance/HP numbers you asked for. They're delightful.
OH, and keep in mind; Double your Regen due to superior Drain Psyche ontop of the superior HP.
Edit: Sorry, 1071 HP per vine/Venus. Too lazy to edit all of those.
I feel like you're one of those people who sits around and looks at averages without much experience of how things actually play out in game. These weaknesses that you're trying so hard to math yourself into pointing out are really not present. I have played with Plant/Psi Dominators before and they are not as epic as your spreadsheets might lead you to believe. I have outlived a great variety of Dominators on my Blaster. Player ability and familiarity with a character on top of a solid build needs to be accounted for. You seem like you play the game theoretically and assume that whatever is on your spreadsheets is the ultimate truth. While I think that it is important to make your characters solid from a numerical perspective, that alone is not as "be all, end all" as you seem to think. -
Quote:When I was playing my s/l softcapped build, I needed to use the Core epiphany version since I'd get slammed with mez otherwise. Having all this positional defense means that most of the time I'm able to get through the downtime and it's worth the tradeoff when I do get hit. I obviously still keep a break free macro for emergencies, but it's been worthwhile. I haven't recorded any x8 videos because I only have 2.5 gb of ram right now. Running Fraps with all that action going on means I have to turn my particle count way down, it looks icky and it's still kinda choppy. As soon as I do some upgrading, more videos will come.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
What do you during the 30 second downtime? When fighting Malta or Carnies at +4 / x8? I have been waiting for your video of you fighting Malta at +4 / x8 but your YouTube page only has that GM fight so far.

First, your definition of 'trolls' is flawed. I am calling you a Screwdriver, a Phillips Head Screwdriver specifically, because you are acting like a superiority-driven prat. The Phillips Head Screwdriver was once known as one of the greatest inventions ever, but then it get replaced by more secure, superior types of screws and is thusly a relic of the past.
Much like your build and your logic. This is not an 'insult' in so much it is an applicable title. I am not trolling you, you are just labeling yourself, Screwdriver. If you do not wish to be called Screwdriver, do not act like a Phillips Head Screwdriver, THB.
And really, go look up the definition of 'trolling'. I do not think it means what you think it means, honey.
Back to the debate.
I already calculated it for you. At Maximum Global Recharge + Maximum Slotted Recharge, Concentration averages to a permanent +15% Damage Boost, and Aim to a +7.5% Damage Boost, if used every milisecond they are off cooldown. This drops slightly due to your redraw. Since you are not remotely near the recharge cap, it's not even worth acknowledging at this point. This is what we call 'Averages', THB.
If you want to continue on your Burst Damage Hype, which you seem obsessed with, you're correct. +150% Damage from Concentration and Aim beats the Dominator out. EXCEPT you already used them when you used Rain of Arrows, and it's not a permanency. It averages out to less than +15% Global Damage with your Recharge saturation levels combined with your redraw. I'm probably slightly off on that, but applicable. And again, that is ONLY if you do not use most of the buff time on Rain of Arrows. If you do, it's worth EVEN LESS.
Again, I already said you have Superior Burst Damage. This is one aspect of the whole. You PROBABLY win at farm times and you win at burst damage. The Dominator pulls ahead on Single Target Fights (And in all of your other listed categories, teehee!) and, again, has a unique perk you CANNOT duplicate; Can go above the Target Cap due to Carrion Creepers. You CANNOT do this. Ever. You are limited to your Hard Cap while Carrion Creepers breaks this. And provides numerous bodies that can tank further damage.
So while you're soloing +4x8, a Dominator is theoretically capable of doing +4xAsManyEnemiesOnTheScreenAsPossible due to Carrion Creepers.
Tragic, I know.
You are an angry person, I see that I have thoroughly rustled your feathers. You can call me whatever you'd like, but I do not believe that you have an applicable understanding of how I play my Blaster. Rain of Arrows is not competing with my single target attack chain for Aim+Concentration time. I am either fighting large mobs and using Rain of Arrows, or I am fighting a hard single target and using my ST attacks. At the end of a spawn, when all that remains are a couple of bosses, I can hit either aim, concentration or both and quickly dispatch the last boss or two. I do not know why you think I can only use my +dmg boosts for one thing or another. They are not competing with each other.
I think it's just silly that you don't think Aim and Concentration are even worth acknowledging. You are clearly very prejudiced since your own character lacks these wonderful tools. You are also of the opinion that having Barrier means that your part time and fast diminishing damage resistance is somehow comparable to having respectable resistance to the three most common types at all times.
I suppose you think that the absence of a target cap on Creepers is worth more than Rain of Arrows three times a minute. This is a matter of personal preference I suppose, and so there is no right and wrong. I do not think that your single target damage is as superior as you seem to think it is. I am doing more raw ST damage than you without taking any sort of +dmg boosts into account. You have a steady ~63% damage boost. I have an almost identical boost about 50% of the time, and a 100% boost the other 50% of the time. You can twist your logic and averages as much as you want, this is the most simple and clear way of looking at it though. -
Quote:I just want to pause briefly for some commentary. I have not insulted you at any point, and yet you insist on personal attacks. Even when I try to have a civil conversation with you, you insist on being insulting. And you wonder why I generally just write you off? Hm.

Woah now, buddy. You're forgetting things again. I know being a Phillips Head Screwdriver is difficult because interchangable heads exist, but let's not be narrow.
I did not consider using Mental Blast in your ST chain. Sure, that is viable, but I don't think you need to accuse me of intentionally ignoring things when I flat-out stated that I wasn't sure about your attack chain. Sure, that's a nice damage bonus. The Superior Blaster's Wrath proc is pretty great too.Quote:1) You forgot to acknowledge the Dominator ATO Proc, a permanent 63.75% Damage Bonus. You would slot this into Subdue from Psi Assault, allowing you not only a good attack (Better than lol Entangle), but, you know, a permanent 63.75% +DMG.
In fact, you largely ignored the secondary almost entirely for your personal superiority complex. Let me correct you.
Subdue: 86.64 vs. 52.55 from Snap Shot
Mental Blast: 86.64 vs. 161.7 from Blazing Arrow
Mind Probe: 114.4 vs. 91.2 on your Mind Probe
That's a bit more realistic on Dominator ST Attack chains. And yes, that chain is possible. So, keeping that in mind, and once the third rotation goes you have a 63.75% Permanent Damage Boost... Subdue and Mental Blast gain an additional 57.X DPA at base value, and Mind Probe gains 72.X And yes, I am counting this bonus because it's a permanent number, unlike Build Up + Aim. This is acceptable, yes?
Just because your +dmg bonus is easier to calculate though, doesn't mean that mine should be discarded! How is that fair? Concentration alone gives me a +100% damage bonus almost 50% of the time, and Aim gives me a +62.5% damage bonus almost 50% of the time. I would say that I actually come ahead in terms of a +dmg boost, and I can do even more burst ST than you by double stacking them, say to dispatch a boss quickly. I do not use RoA against single targets.
It certainly doesn't compare to 50% s/l and 33% e resistance at all times. What is your defense to positions at, on average, using barrier? I am able to softcap myself to m/r/a any time I want just by clicking one small purple.Quote:And, really? Tier 4 Barrier is only good for Ten Seconds? Try 60 seconds, with the last 60 seconds still providing +5% global Defense and Resistance. Sorry. You lose on the Incarnate Power front from needing Clarion, while the Dominator has the utmost freedom to pursue any other. -
