I actually think it is going to turn out to be a bad thing that Domination will act like a break free....at least in the fact that it will make you even more inclinded to hold it rather than use it incase you get mezed....

[/ QUOTE ]

that's what i've felt for several months about domination. the rare occasions i play my doms i just use domination as a endurance bar filler. because i dont need the dmg or control, or my team never would've lived long enough for me to build domination in the first place


and i thought of a good idea for holds working on bosses/eb's/av's...have each hold application lock out one of the enemy's attacks for its duration. similar to how hami can only fire off one attack now while he's held. and of course the limit would be the real mag resistance to holds. if that isnt broken (purple triangles up) the enemy can still use at least 1 attack (maybe a "summon ambush" call or something?)

both of those mind powers are on looong recharges. and mass hypnosis is often broken because people like to use aoe's at the start of a fight, while the enemies are grouped. and many ppl still complain that confuse steals their xp...

i agree about creepers though, they're great. at what, lv 26? or is it 18?

on my (semi-retired, 'til they fix doms) plant/fire i used dom purely as endurance filler. i'd get it charged up and pop it whenever my end got depleted, and if i didnt run out of end i'd just pop it on the mish boss and call it good

doms can survive just fine without domination, but they're mediocre. make them good without it and great with it, and i'll play my dom again

yeah. i hate how our attacks (and this goes for all AT's) do less than a blaster's, yet cost the exact same endurance. if you reduce the dmg, reduce the end costs too, to represent that we're going to have to use more attacks to kill something

Out of curiosity, does this tweak include the ability to fire off domination when mezzed?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not initially, but the patch following should have it. I forget to stick that in on the original change, and QA helpfully pointed it out, but not in time to reach the version going out.

Soooo....AVs can't hold a dom and a dom still can't hold an AV?

And to top it off my troller can still outdamage my dom....one shot yellow minions vs. three shotting white minions.....

[/ QUOTE ]

just to clarify, av's can't hold a dom during the 90 secs domination is up. they can still hold and 1-shot doms just fine in the other 200+ seconds

We've got a nice tweak to the Domination ability coming down the pipe (it will crank up your Mez resistance while it is active), and are currently data-mining PvP to see what effect our last set of tweaks to the AT have had.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I'd prefer to have some good mez protection when NOT in Domination mode, and have it go away in Domination mode.

The real issue is the lackluster abilities outside of Domination, which is most of the time. I think that's what turns most players off the archetype. It's easy to give up on dominators by the late teens when you're doing mediocre damage most of the time with high endurance costs. Beefing up Domination won't make the archetype any more attractive, since Domination is already very nifty.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd second this idea. Seems like it would hopefully appeal to the devs idea of risk vs. reward still too. Make doms safer outside of domination, but to become more powerful in our holding and damage with domination activated, we get the drawback of becoming "vulnerable" to mezzing.

Edit: Oh well, from Castle's posts sounds like the other way is already a done thing.

BU and AIM only last for 10, whats your point? you should unload your chain in those 10 secs and run whether your target's dead or not

the builder says stunning shot does about 3.3 brawls...

thanks for the advice though, it helps

yeah i would've liked another pet

how's this look? i've never used either archery set before

if your blaster cant kill a troller during the 60 secs those lucks last, you should respec for pvp

your stone tank is beaten by a solo stalker? haha man that stalker is good and you must be bad

you forgot to mention how minions go into defensive when you bubble up in pff now. also i dont think you mentioned the 2 minute recharge

ugh. i respecced out of it :/ with bodyguard and aid self i dont need it anymore anyway. oh well at least i still have my status protection :/


wish i could swap /ff to /traps

so did they fix it so it desnt have infinite mag now?

blasters are all about burst dmg before someone can hold/kill them...i dont see a problem. pop some lucks instead of the breakfree, or pop the BF and a couple yellows (or buildup, OR aim, OR have tactics)

on females (maybe males too?) some of the belts (notably the tech one with the oval belt buckle) are availble for tights torsos, but not sleevless jackets...

i dont remember my stalker ever getting heat exaustion...

and overrated means people say it's good but it really isnt, i think you meant to say overpowered.

and one stalker took on two lv 50 fire armor tanks? wow. he must be really good, or you were being really dumb

no hami can still use one attack through holds. nice change. people can still beat him pretty easy, just keeps em on their toes a little bit more

exactly

it is new to i7

no i think it's just av's (and eb's if you're on an easier diff setting) now always remember

haven't tested it myself though

but if they didnt see you the first time you snuck up, then it's not perception, it's just not losing aggro

ssh they still havent fixed it (and probably never will

but if they couldnt see you in the first place why can they see you now

hellz yeah

made a kin/elec last night, cool as hell

for girls with a couple options (pants, that i've seen), they can get nice dress shoes, but when you change to a skirt or shorts or tights the dress shoes disappear from the boots list
