Really Torn


18thBarrier

 

Posted

Trying to choose a pvp dominator and i think i want to have the power drain psyce. I'm leveling up a mind/psir right now (currently at lvl 10). I'm going to take it to 20 to see how the power is.

But, i'm torn between fire/psi, fire/fire, mind/psi, mind/fire, and even an elec/therm corr.

Any thoughts on how these fair in pvp?

Thank you. I'm aware I asked a similar question in the dominator forum.

Do you know why you want Drain Psyche in PvP?

Do you know why an elec/therm is good?

Fire/Psi > Mind/Psi.

OMG OMG TK THRUST DOES THE SAME THING IN A DUEL AND KBS FARTHER.

The pets are also sickly good.

Yea, the drain psyche power will stop them from recovering end and I think the corr combination of elec/therm is really good at sapping their end. My only concern with the corruptor build is that the battle won't last long enough where I can sap people's end all the way to zero.

As much as I hate Bad Barrier, he is right. How ever Pets are not so good if your fighting anyone with mass control. Like say snow storm, or AOE hold. As Pets do not share your same defence. So one hold and you take them out of the match. But if your fighting some one who does not have control powers then the pets do good damage. In maps that are small and enclosed.

But Mind/psi > then fire/psi


If you don't know this then your proby *h|t like Bad Barrier.

if you want any type of therm corr go rad. I have a Rad/therm corr on pinnacle that will take down any regen. with dominators in pvp...I tend to stay away for they do decent damage but dont have the HPs or staying power vs. a scrapper/tank/brute/stalker/blaster.

OK, baddo. A well-built and well-played Dominator can beat just about anything.

Well, baddo? Like I mentioned a dom has decent damage, but if you have spent any time in i13-i14 PvP you'll notice that doms can't hold their own against any half built toon. I honestly can say that any dom would get owned by my scrapper.

Questions:

1. If dom pets don't have the mezz resistance instead of protection thing, does that mean that their mezz attacks work like zone NPCs? I see gravity controllers/doms proliferating.

2. Anybody ever use mass confusion on a gaggle of Long Bow Wardens?

3. Last I heard perma-dom in pvp requires something on the order of +200% global recharge, on the other hand both flurry and thunderstrike while in domination dish out more damage than Head Splitter.

But to your question. How will mind/psi perform in PvP? Well assuming you're talking about Super Heavy Weight Events, after you've pumped a truckload of infamy into IOs... don't know. It'll take you a while before you get there, and I gotta believe there's another smash the system, throw the pieces up against the wall and see if any of it sticks rethink in the "soon."

I just can't believe that people are really going to be satisfied with a PvP system as wonky as this one. But then again, I never would have guessed at least half of the things that they actually did to PvP.

1. They get the worst of both worlds lol
2. It would have to be domination+MC, but no I haven't. Pve------>that way
3. something like that. Powerpools tend to be more effective than melee attacks found in prim/sec even when those melee attacks have longer cast times and longer rech, which is just weird cause so much of the damage forumula is based on cast time.

Mind/psi can still be very good. It's never been easier to land DP than it is now, but most of /psi's damage is generated in melee and w/ short mezzes and the kb suppression timer it can be tough to land enough melee hits to kill things. subdue and psw can both mess with mez suppression if you cast them at the wrong time too and you'll lose out on a good "long" mez from dominate.

definitely workable though.

/elec on the other hand is ok in melee cause it has zomg damage.

How are dom's doing now that elusivity has been cut and they can only stack 60% (rather than 110%) on top of ~20% def? Seems a lot of builds could easily hit through that now. Or are doms all moving over to Lev ppp?

I guarantee I've PvP'd more in I13 and I14 than you have. You're still wrong. I don't know what kind of crappy Doms you're fighting, but Doms are one of the top PvP ATs for a reason.

Both of you need to keep in mind that doms are like twice as good at level 50 as they are at level 30. It's a much bigger difference for doms than any other AT, from what I've seen.

So maybe you're talking about different types of PvP to begin with. In sirens, doms actually are pretty lol. In RV/arena, they're beasts.

I highly doubt you spend more time pvping then me, but I'm not going to argue with an peon like you.

Anywho, I'm talking bout zone PvP, more RV then the other zones. I have not seen since i13 any Dom come into RV on the pinnacle server that isn't demolished.

There's my 2 cents for the topic.

yeah.

fiteclubber is go.

i was wrecking spines/regens on a mind/fire in i13. i was wrecking bs/regens on a fire/elec in i13 while barely touching pff.

seriously, they should have a competency requirement in the pvpec.
