Tremor using wrong table?

I can't remember where but I'd read a few days ago someone had posted that Fissure was using the dom "cone" table which is why its radius is so small (10 feet). Even though it's a short range aoe.

Was this intentional?

And why does mud pots have such a small radius and damage but huge endurance cost? Is it because it has a bunch of secondary effects that are of NO use to dominators?

First off I think you meant fissure. Tremor is correctly using a 15 yard radius that is (now) pretty standard for a dominator pbaoe.

I said that at some point, though I don't know if it's me you're referring to. All dominator sets seem to be balanced around having one cone and one pbaoe attack. With some exceptions that have reasons for those exceptions. This, the target cap and the radius on the ability lead me to conclude that fissure is placed on the cone table for certain calculations.

The ability has the functional range, area and target cap of a mid-sized cone. However it has the ease of use of a targetted aoe. It's damage still feels low, but looking at the set it seems balanced around having three pbaoe attacks and a strong melee focus so this ability being limited in this way doesn't feel (to me) as weak as it looks in a vaccuum. Consider the whole set.

Edit:

The secondary effects are great IMO. Fissure takes disorient sets which means you can slot it with immobilize to fill in somewhat on control gaps in sets like Grav or Mind. Almost all of the attacks in the set take KB sets so you can dump lots of kinetic crash or force feedback procs in em. Also as far as the end cost goes, it's still the cheapest targetted aoe attack in any of the dominator sets.

If you find yourself needing FF +rech proc in more than just fissure (maybe tremor) on a decent build then you are doing something wrong.

I intend to put the +recharge proc in all my powers that do knockdown (except for earthquake) because on a dom there's no such thing as too much +recharge

I agree that you can't have too much recharge, but FF proc doesn't work that way. It self suppresses and iirc the absolute most you can have it up is 50% of the time.

I have it in fissure on my plant/kin/stone troller and over time it has added ~30% rech to my build. When you factor in downtime between groups I think that is about as much uptime as you are going to get out of it. Well that's not accurate, I could see getting it up closer to 40%.

Putting it in st powers with kb tends to not be a great use of that slot. You'd be much better off putting a kb damage proc in it working on the assumption that you have slotted acc/dam/rech/end up as high as you were seeking in the first 5 slots.

In aoe knock powers it checks every single target hit so it is very good there.

If you are only fighting one foe (ie boss or such) the dam procs in your st powers will still be of more benefit than the FF proc in them.

But ymmv.

Actually I just put one in Tremor and frankly it very rarely goes off even when hitting many enemies. I'm pretty sure they fixed it a while back so it goes off per cast, not per enemy hit. I remember when every bot mm and SS brute HAD to have them and they went for many millions on the market and now they're 100k for a lvl 50

Heh, I'm glad that the one I got dropped far enough back that it was still worth something when I sold it.

I think that was less than a month before it was changed.

I didn't think it was per cast either. The reason it's so cheap seems to be that it's a mob drop that doesn't trigger that often even in an AoE.

ya it's only 10% proc chance.

So it is clearly going to work a lot better in a saturated troller fissure (16 targets) than compared to a dom fissure with only 10 targets.

Dom fissure is also rather low damage and a small aoe. I've been on missions with it on a team and never hit more than three enemies at a time with it. Very disappointing. If it weren't for the sheer awesomeness of seismic smash I'd consider the set a wash and reroll with another secondary.

I got my earth/earth to 40. Where I think he'll sit until they do something about this. Mean while I'm gonna work on my rad/psi blaster and maybe make a ice/psi/mako dom
