Magnitude Cap?

Is there a cap to the magnitude of a hold or mez?

I ask as as far as I understood it Domination doubles the magnitude of all your holds / mezzes. The Accolade Megalomaniac also doubles the magnitude of holds / mezzes. Am I better off triggering both at the same time to get 4 times the magnitude or hitting them one after the other so that I can continue to hold / mez Heroes? (Currently lvl 46 so facing a lot ovf AV powered Heroes)

As far as I understand Meglomaniac doubles the duration not the magnitude?

I'd be interested to know if it affects magnitude too .

Not magnitude, just duration is correct indeed. Same way PB works.

The description of megalomanis badge is somewhat ambiguous

"You wanted more control and now you have it. Activating this power increase all of your Sleeps, Holds, Immobilize and Confuse powers for 60 seconds."

Vanguard is supposed to double the duration of mezes the description of vanguards power is:

"When activated, your Vanguard Medal will double the duration of all your Disorient, Hold, Immobilize, Fear, Confuse and Sleep powers. Knockback distance is also increased. The effect of this boost will last for 1 minute. You can only activate the Vanguard Medal once every 25 minutes. "

I haven't read the description of the megalomania power. However I thought that Vanguard doubled magnitude as well as doubling duration.

Megalomaniac only affects the duration of your Mezzes, which helps you stack them.

Domination is the only power in the game that boosts mez mag.

Now... if we only could make it stack...




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Just on a side note - how does PB/Megalomaniac interact with Domination? Does Domi double the duration of the mez taking enhs into account while PB just doubles the base duration?

Sorry but the 5 entries for Domination on nofuture are a bit confusing .

PB adds to the duration of the mez power. Adds a few truckloads of duration to it, to be exact

The effect scales by level and varies by AT. For dominators, at level 16 it offers a 115% boost; at level 50 it's a 149% boost.

With 2 Speed Boosts and Hasten running it stacks for like 3 seconds, and I think I felt the effects (even more damage, etc), though its hard to tell when there's only 3 seconds of it, and most of the time I have perma dom its in PvP so I have little time to mess around.

With more +recharge buffs it will stack for longer, but I am not sure the effects stack.
