    I'd be happy to race you if that's what you'd like.

    Unfortunately even if you are as astonishingly superior to me at farming as you think you are, which I don't honestly believe, I would like to see whatever build that you're using meet the GM soloing criteria set forth. Once again, I am not claiming to be the *best* at everything, although I do believe I can compete with the best when it comes to farming and general AOE oriented gameplay- I'm claiming to be able to do everything mentioned.

    Let me correct you: The Dominator does NOT rely on Seeds of Confusion. Even if a single application misses, due to having Destiny Rebirth or Destiny Barrier over Destiny Clarion, they have either superior total health or superior Defense/Wide (AKA: Not S/L/E, but global) Resistance. So even though you are spouting "Well the S/L Softcap means NOTHING ;_;", let me note the following; You aren't farming Malta or Carnies, so it's irrelevant.

    In a designated farm designed to play your strengths, you fight what you are strong against. This means the Dominator would be duking it out with S/L mobs. And even then, since we'll be applying your same logic, Destiny Barrier + a Purple = Doing what you do. Your SOLE Advantage is your superior Resistance numbers, BUT the Dominator will hit the S/L Incarnate Soft Cap, rendering them further immune to Cascading Debuff Failure shenanigans, AND has Hoarfrost. You do not have anything remotely comparable to Hoarfrost.

    Moving on to my original note, Seeds of Confusion is one tool in the arsenal. Sleet is one of the other dominate tools, not to mention Psychic Shockwave's additional AoE, and Carrion Creeper Explosions. Which not only provide multiple bodies to be targeted over you, but their AoE damage is absolutely silly when slotted properly.

    The Dominator IS doing an extremely high amount of AoE damage, but I will agree not as high as your Burst AoE with Rain of Arrows. Does this matter? Probably only if you absolutely need everything to die right now this very instant. The Dominator isn't quite as concerned with as many RNG factors as your Blaster is when it comes to "How long do I have to wait until I can faceroll?"

    Now, let's go toward the one other thing you noted; Seeds of Confusion causing gains to be less. This is so amateur it makes me sad. We've got years of research proving the additional killspeed given by Seeds of Confusion, combined with a Dominator being able to hit the benchmark damage needed to mitigate losses of Seeds of Confusion, greatly out-weighs the scant losses in 'immediate XP/Prestige/Influence/ gain.

    But, again, I am not arguing your superiority in specific farming. You can keep that. It's not even a grand title. Brutes arguably do it better still anyway. I am arguing every other point, which you insist in ignoring.

    Your Burst Damage: Rain of Arrows, Psychic Shockwave
    Dominator Burst Damage: Carrion Creeper Explosion, Seeds of Confusion Alphas, Psychic Shockwave.

    Just to note that the Dominator Burst IS there, all things said.

    But, I'm arguing a point I do not need to argue; We'll say for the sake of argument you can do 1-50 somewhat faster than the Dominator. Let's give you that point and that point alone, for now.

    Disprove the rest, please?


    You're saying I only win on one point, which is farming, but what you're really saying is that YOU actually only win against single targets. I also mentioned soloing tough enemy groups on 54x8 in the original post. I can solo entire Incarnate spawns with my personal stacked survivability- Sure, Barrier is great... For about ten seconds. The majority of Barrier's lifespan is providing totals so far below my steady defense and resistance values that it's really not an even tradeoff. Also it is worth mentioning that the primary use for my Clarion is status protection but it also grants me +secondary effects, including a period of +defense.

    You maintain that you do more single target damage. Would you mind posting your attack chain? Based on a quick glance in Mids, I would say it's something along the lines of Entangle>Strangler>Mind Probe, obviously working in Drain Psyche.

    Now, let's compare base damage first:

    Entangle: 52.83 vs. 52.55 from Snap Shot

    Strangler: 58.11 vs. 161.7 from Blazing Arrow

    Mind Probe: 114.4 vs. 91.2 on my Mind Probe

    Now, I am actually doing more raw damage than you using these three single target attacks than you are using your 3 single target attacks. It is possible that I'm wrong about your chain- I could see Sleet being worked in or something, but as I have never optimized your build I can't be sure.

    It's also worth mentioning that while I will suffer from redraw, I'll also benefit from Aim and Concentration.

    Numerically speaking, I am not seeing a large advantage going to either build in terms of ST damage.

    Also, you forgot Explosive Arrow in your AOE evaluation. It's doing 47.4 DPA vs. 52.66 from Carion Creepers with Creepers having more than 22 times the base recharge of Explosive Arrow.
  3. When did I say that RoA and DP are anything besides my two best powers? They ARE my two best powers! I know that! You're coming across like, "You have to use your two best powers so it doesn't really mean anything." That just doesn't make any sense at all. Of course I use them both to my advantage. Otherwise, why would I play Archery/Mental? Why are you attaching a negative connotation to using the best tools available to accomplish a goal?

    If anyone has an air of superiority and arrogance here, it's you. You are almost completely claiming that your character is better than mine. I have done no such thing at any point.

    Why do you think that a Dominator will do better against 54x8 enemy groups? First of all, you won't necessarily be safer because your safety depends on keeping things completely locked down. You have no damage resistance to speak of, and only have defense against what, three different types? Second, you do not have any burst damage as powerful as ROA in your arsenal. You are much more reliant upon confuse than I am- Although I leverage it also, and I see nothing wrong with doing so on either count, it does lead to a decrease in rewards earned. Now, assuming that your superior confusion is enough to lead to on-par spawn melting speeds compared to Arch/Mental, which for argument's sake I will assume is true, you will still be earning less rewards per due to leveraging confusion so heavily. In other words, even if your Seeds of Confusion and higher mag WoC lead to on-par spawn melting speeds as my Blaster, it will still be a less efficient form of farming.

    I use reds when I farm since that's a common practice- Anyone would be silly not to. I don't see anything wrong with soloing GM's and high level AV's with red inspirations. I use reds when I do the latter on my Warshade. I merely considered performing the task without any outside +dmg to be noteworthy since I have tested and confirmed that it's something I'm able to do... Just adding an extra element of challenge, that's all.

    I'm not trying to dismiss any of your accomplishments, and I'm sorry if I've come across that way.

    The tone of superiority was first set by the OP, especially considering his history on this subject. Any aggravated or harsh responses that don't stoop to personal insult are quite justified in my mind. The initial display of arrogance begs for it.
    Display of arrogance, you say? I started this thread to raise awareness of what a single character with a single build is capable of doing. I have seen many posters across this board who have the opinion that it is not viable to build a farming, GM killing, strong PVE character all wrapped up in one package.

    Am I proud of my accomplishments? Absolutely I am! Why wouldn't I be? I'm also curious to see what else is able to perform up to the same standard. So far, the only viable contender offered seems to be a Plant/Psi/Ice Dominator. While others have presented it as "hands down, completely better," another person who plays that exact combo just came in here and acknowledged its shortcomings. That's not to say that it's a bad build at all, but it certainly foils the past attempts to write me off as being ultimately inferior!

    I'd like to see more people post builds that are able to do the same things too. Perhaps the casual lurker will come to this thread seeking inspiration for a new character. Perhaps they will choose an Archery/Mental Blaster. Perhaps they will choose a Plant/Psi Dominator.

    I don't think that any harm could possibly be done through the existence of this thread, aside from the attacks I've had to endure. That's alright, though! As a loyal servant of the citizens, I do not mind facing great adversity for the greater good.

    I have not lied to or misled anyone. I'm sorry if you feel deceived. Perhaps I can make it up to you by offering you a 50% off discount on the TwoHeadedBoy Market item of your choice.

Maybe with an XP booster in effect for the PL-ee, but that kind of leveling speed is almost impossible for even the well-skilled PL players out there and I don't think you are in that league. No doubt you can PL fast but 1-50 in 2 hours is a bit much to fathom for anyone.

    And frankly, considering that you are dependent on Vengeance to cap your PVE defenses, I'm not sure I consider this a team-friendly build in the least.

    I have a clone of Gunmage's DP/MM blaster build. That took an enormous investment in IO's to achieve. While it farms quite well on S/L farms, and it does pretty good on most PVE content as well, its nowhere near as effective at AV soloing as my Ill/Rad or several of my Dominator builds.

    Like others have posted....I think your farming/PL claims are what are most in question. The rest can be chalked up to just Drain Psyche alone.
    Dependent on vengeance? Please turn incarnates on, with my Agility Core Paragon I am a small purple inspiration from being softcapped to everything, and that's layered with very high regen and resistance. Vengeance is an afterthought!

    I'm sorry that you do not believe my PLing speed claim, but please keep in mind how literally the claim was taken. I said "around" two hours as a general guesstimate and it certainly isn't far off. Sure, it's possible that it could be closer to 2 and a half or 3 hours, but I think it's also possible in the 2-2.15 marks.

    Either way, I have seen many SS/Fire, Elm/fire, TW/Fire, etc. Brutes farm, and even farmed on my own SS/Fire, so I know from first-hand experience that my Blaster farms as fast or faster than the average high end farming sets. If your doubt stems from playing DP/Mental, please keep in mind that the DP nuke has around three times the base recharge of Rain of Arrows.

    Also, I think I have seen the build to which you are referring- It is quite literally completely reliant on Vengeance at all times if I remember correctly, having built no meaningful defense. During cave farms, that will mean not only requiring that the minion you are PLing follow you into the chaos and die, thus creating XP debt, but also that you always return to the exact spot they were last defeated when you need to cycle Vengeance again. This is very inefficient. If you use an alternative method of clicking 4-6 purple inspirations rather than returning for Vengeance, those are inspirations you're using rather than converting to reds, making your damage fall even farther behind.


    And re: Your Ill/Rad is a faster GM killer: I do not doubt that in the least. It is not my position that my Blaster is "the best at everything," just that he can *do* everything. I expect some Defenders, Corruptors, Masterminds, etc. to be faster than me against tough single targets, but I still maintain that I can take them down without any outside +dmg. This isn't JUST Drain Psyche, because that +regen against a single target doesn't provide the survivability you need. You need to build for perma or as close to perma as possible Drain Psyche, while also building high survivability through other means, namely defense, resistance, a decent amount of control and strong AOE damage. This is not a "do one thing and you're good to go" build like some people would lead you to believe.

    While Rad/Sonic, Bots/Traps, Ill/Rad, etc. will no doubt be faster than me against hard single targets, they will not be reliable farmers and their AOE speed especially against 54x8 tougher enemy groups will not be on par with mine. I have never seen another monster slayer that could also farm as efficiently as my Blaster does, all on a single build. I would like to see one of these Doms that people keep mentioning in action, though.

That and my dom is barely incarnated and has none of the passive accolades so I'm sporting most likely at least 400 less hp than you're blaster. So surviving say a +4 AV or taking down a GM is going to be somewhat left up to luck seeing as how I can take maybe 1, 2 hits before I faceplant.

    All that being said, with my build I can actually farm quite quickly, significantly faster than I anticipated due to this not being one of my build goals. Mind you this is made easier with the dom ATO dmg proc in subdue that I cycle constantly between roots and psi shockwave all the while using macros to combine insps into reds, which anyone can do. So is it viable to complete said feats? Yes. Better than arch/mm as far as efficiency goes? I doubt it, maybe competitive in the right situation but that remains to be seen as the character IO build is essentially finished, but were taking into consideration incarnates which my dom has few of yet.
    This is all perfectly reasonable, and I commend your courtesy. I have never meant to say that a Plant/Psi/Ice Dom is not a viable and efficient build capable of accomplishing some of the standards I set forward in the OP, I just do not believe that it blatantly outperforms my Blaster in any regards like Reppu has been implying.

    Thanks for pointing out that Ice means that you do not have any significant damage resistance, and so will be achieving your layered mitigation through strictly defense and crowd control. While you are clearly better at crowd control, my Blaster is still able to control well enough that adds another durability point on top of being a small purple from the softcap to ALL positions compared to the three types you mentioned building on your Dominator. That's on top of high resistance I have to those same three types you built defense to. Granted, the Dominator will have higher HP, but that does not in my opinion compensate for no real damage resistance to speak of.

    Now, I'm not saying that the Blaster will be hands-down more survivable, just that it's really much more of a tossup than the other pro-Dom posters in this thread seem to be implying.
  7. So the idea is that Plant/Psi Dominator is a viable contender, capable of accomplishing all the same feats as my Blaster. That's really neat, since like I said earlier in this thread, I have a good friend with a Plant/Psi/Ice with a good build who isn't able to perform up to the same standard as my Blaster.

    Now, obviously the Dominator will be better at controlling, but that doesn't mean that my Blaster isn't still good at it.

    I think Reppu's argument is very amusing and vindictive. Whenever it comes to the Blaster, the accomplishment is always waved away because "Oh you're relying on Drain Psyche," or "Oh you can only do that because of Rain of Arrows." If I didn't plan to use two of my best powers, why would I choose to play Archery/Mental? That would just be silly. I certainly don't see how using my powers to my advantage could be seen as a shortcoming!

    While I think it is possible for the Dominator to compete and maybe even out-perform in terms of tough single targets (I can't say for sure, I don't even know what the ST attack chain would be, admittedly) I do not think it can compete on an AOE damage level. Not to say that it can't pump out good AOE, I just do not believe that it would be as fast as Archery. I am able to use RoA 3 times a minute or more. We both have Psychic Shockwave. We both have an AOE immobilize to lock enemies down. I also have Explosive Arrow for an extra AOE attack and to help bring RoA up even more quickly via FF +Rech.

    I have only seen one Dominator ever attempt to farm and solo standard 54x8 missions. While it was able to do both, neither was as quick as my Blaster. That's not to say that I don't think a Dominator is just as capable though, I just don't think it flat-out wins as Reppu has been implying. And I DEFINITELY don't think that it trivializes my own accomplishments in any way.

    Also: There is really no way to be "better" at taking/absorbing an alpha strike. If you get there first and absorb the initial damage by yourself, you did it. One really can't be better than another at it if it's done successfully on both counts.

    Zaloopa,

    Thank you for your interest in the TwoHeadedBoy Market! I believe the item to which you are referring was given away during one of our past promotions. Since that is the case, we will not be able to issue any refunds at this time.

    It's also worth mentioning that we have another promotion running right now, where you will receive a random item from the TwoHeadedBoy Market! if you complete the mission "Defeat 10 Forum Trolls" in under 40 minutes for the contact TwoHeadedBoy.

    Thanks for contacting the TwoHeadedBoy Market!

  9. I do not see how anyone can doubt my capabilities as a farmer after reading this thread. As you can see, multiple lesser enemies are attacking me in giant swarms and I am quickly waving them away without suffering any damage! While I am insulted and personal remarks about my character are made, I remain calm and polite to everyone at all times. The evil trolls are attempting to break my spirit, and I continue to rule over them with righteous justice. Viva la TwoHeadedBoy Market!

    Fascinating rant! I see that you are also making the claim that you can accomplish all the same feats on your Dominator. I'd be curious to know more about yours also. Unfortunately, I can't in good conscience reply to the rest of your post since it is inflammatory by nature. You are predisposed to criticize, which is truly a shame. You are the kind of person who sees greatness and then picks at it. I suppose if you ever met a real life super hero while they rescued you from a burning building, you would accuse them of not being able to do it fast enough. You might also reference other super heroes who could do it just as well, theoretically speaking, without any personal claim that's anywhere near as remarkable. People like you are why I felt the need to create the rules in this thread.

    Then again, I dont understand why OP said no Patron pets.

    All seems very character biased to me.

    also roflmao at rules for the threads and pseudo red naming.
    Pets are an outside damage source. I do not like them or consider anything accomplished from them to be very noteworthy on my personal characters, the exception being if the pet is part of a primary powerset. Alpha is like an extra global enhancement, interface is like a proc in your attacks. They're expanding upon character builds, not adding something that isn't there. Yes, destiny can come across as a bit of a crutch, but for me the primary function it serves is providing status protection. This dramatically cuts back my inspiration use since I don't need break frees. It's just a luxury, it's not required.

    But if it helps any, this is why I ran my Staff/WP Stalker through Maria Jenkins (up to the mission with Infernal & Diablolique both in the same mission) before running the incarnate content...to see if my build meets my own goals (solo AVs).

If you aren't capable of performing up to any of the standards in the OP on your own characters, which is clearly the case as you have yet to contribute anything but harassment to this discussion, I encourage you to find another thread to post in.

    If you're interested in getting over your jealous angst, I'd be happy to help improve your in game experience through any of the wonderful items sold in the TwoHeadedBoy Market!

    My build has been provided free of charge! Yes, you average citizen, can now go to the Paragon Market and duplicate the brilliance that I mentioned in the OP, and the build necessary for these feats comes at NO COST TO YOU! It's FREE!

    I also offer these great incentives for your support:

    -For 350 million infamy, my Blaster will run you through a 54x8 cave farm on Freedom!

    -For 500 million infamy, my Blaster will perform "Villain Stance 2" in your presence and allow you to touch his hair!

    -For 1 billion infamy, my Blaster will pose for a picture with you on the character of your choice!

    -For 2 billion infamy, my Blaster will add you to his global friends list and share cooperative and friendly dialog with you, while mentoring you and increasing your knowledge of the game! This is a one week long program, and you MUST pay up front!


    Please contact me on the forums- Either in this thread or via PM, or send me a tell in game (@Septipheran) if you are interested in purchasing any of the items from the newly introduced TwoHeadedBoy Market!


    If you continue to violate the rules of the thread (found in the original post) I'm afraid that I will have to enforce a one week ban on your access to the TwoHeadedBoy Market, though.

    You, as the one requesting a service, feel entitled not only to keep the product of my labors, but to do so free of charge if any anomalies arise. If I were to accept your offer I would be not only subjecting myself to potential extortion, but undermining the integrity of my own business venture!

    You don't go into a store and purchase a computer, saying to the clerk, "If this computer doesn't perform perfectly at all times, exactly up to the highest standard, I am not only entitled to keep the computer. I am also entitled to receive a full refund."

    It saddens me that some would let your cruel intentions and lust for villainy go unpunished.

    Because I am a reasonable and kind person though, in honor of this happy and encouraging thread I have started for all to enjoy, I will make you a reasonable counter-offer. I will power-level you from 1-50 for two billion influence. If this process takes over two and a half hours, I will give you a generous 500 million infamy refund and you will still be able to keep the finished product of the minion I level for you.

    This will take place on Freedom server around my leisure. I will give you 24 hours previous notice. If you do not arrive punctually, you will forfeit this great opportunity. The Rangers are playing tomorrow night, so that won't be any good. I'll contact you privately with specifics as soon as I have them and you agree to the more than generous terms.

    Please do not come into this happy thread with your negativity and accusations! The TwoHeadedBoy Market exists as a great service for the community! In my never ending battle against the evil trolls, funding is required. My employees must be paid!
  20. I regret that such drastic action had to be taken, but as Oedipus_Tex continued to violate the rules of the thread after his first warning, I have been forced to privately contact him and inform him that his TwoHeadedBoy Market account has been banned for one week. Let this be an example for anyone else who plans to violate the rules of the thread.

    Overall, I think it's not hard to build the "best" character when you control what categories you choose to measure and how much value to put on each of them.
    Hmm. My Blaster's defense, Smashing, Lethal and Energy resistance is the same as on my Brute! I'm sorry you feel that being a small purple inspiration away from the softcap to all three positions paired with good resistance to the three most common damage types is "average at best!"

    Perhaps you are angry because my Blaster has tanked for your tank in the past? I'm sorry if I have invalidated any of your characters or efforts! Lucky for you with the move to my new microtransaction model, you can reap the full benefits of my build free of charge!

    This is just one of the many incentives I'll be putting forward to raise awareness of the new TwoHeadedBoy Market.

    I understand that you are bitter and upset, so let me encourage you to purchase a picture with my Blaster for only one billion infamy! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

    Unfortunately though, your frustration, while understandable does not excuse you from breaking the rules of the thread. Please review the original post for more information. Since this is your first violation, no action will be taken, but if you continue to disregard the rules I will be forced to instate a one week ban on your TwoHeadedBoy Market account.

    Thanks for understanding!

    You also need to get off the logic deal since you left that train many moons ago.
    You're right, it's a CONSPIRACY!

    Mass confusion and stacked AOE immobilze! Since I play in melee range, I am able to reap the full benefits of World of Confusion, A Coercive Persuasion proc, and Cognitive Interface. I also use t4 Clarion with +secondary effects to make WoC even more powerful. Additionally, Drain Psyche's -recovery and the -endurance from Fences and Ion add another level of mitigation. Finally there is the stun factor from Psychic Shockwave. There are regular posters on this forum who can verify this level of performance, I can ask someone to stop in and verify if you'd like!

    How do you keep them from scattering on a blaster. The mobs running away and/or shooting from range drove me batty. I was running Fire/Ment with RoF, and almost decided I'd be better off without RoF.
    1. With patrols.

    2. I'm not aware of my best time for clearing a cave- I power level on a map with a timer in order to judge how quickly I am leveling my minion. My record for 1-50 is around the two hour mark, not counting any stops in between maps.

    3. I have E-Fences to lock down spawns which is a reliable way to keep enemies from scattering too much. Once i23 comes out and I have Hybrid's taunt aura, I expect that I will become even more efficient.
