I don't need Def i have holds.
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
I softcapped my Fire/Fire Dom to smashing/lethal. Still got permadom, but it was a pretty expensive build. Definitely worth it though.
Here's the datachunk if anyone is interested:

I have a s/l softcapped perma earth/fire. It is pretty beastly.
The def lets you take on much harder scenarios without much increase in perceived difficulty. It's also nice for solo'ing as you don't have to worry so much about lockdown and can just blast, which usually results in significantly faster defeats.
My ice/psi has had s/l softcap (~35% to energy and 20ish to everything else) since before the dom changes, that combined with the regen from drain psyche and the stacking -rech from psi and arctic air meant that any actual control was for the team's benefit not mine.

Thanks Frosticus..yes that's what I'm noticing. I was surprised at what I was able to do with a rather humble (and quickly assembled build). My Plant/Thorn is chewing through mobs regular mobs..pretty quickly.

I have around - 41% Energy DEF - 34% Smashing/Lethal DEF - 22% Range DEF - 27% Neg Energy DEF - 13% (Melee, PSI, etc...) I'm pretty surprised at how survivable he against some enemy groups (Council,COT, Freaks...) and how vulnerable he can be to others (Carnies..I hate you...). Power Pools taken for defense were Black Scoripion, Fighthing, and Leaping. Link below with screenie of the build. Plant Thorn Defense build I'm not really looking to redo the build, it works for what I use it for (running the The Code Merlin arc). I'm just curious if anyone else is using dom builds that are primarily high defense and not Permadom. Permadom get's a lot of attention, but with the recent reworking of Doms, high defense or +Damage builds seem like they would be just as useful. And probably more attainable (i.e cheaper). |
The plant/thorns I just wanted to max ranged defense for completely safe tossing of seeds of confusion.
The earth/earth was intended to be a mini-tanker. ~30% ranged/melee def, 50% S/L res, with godmode, demonic, stony, and guardian on top of dominator controls... pretty darned survivable.

Softcapped S/L defense and Permadom without Hasten is where it's at.

I aim for Ranged and AoE Defense. Some things just don't stay held(like EB's)
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

So out of boredom I took my old Plant/Thorn dom (my first 50) and retrofitted him into a defense based dom. I don't use MIDS but was able to get the numbers below with minimal spending. (The goal was to see if it could be done without breaking the bank, etc.. )
I have around
- 41% Energy DEF
- 34% Smashing/Lethal DEF
- 22% Range DEF
- 27% Neg Energy DEF
- 13% (Melee, PSI, etc...)
I'm pretty surprised at how survivable he against some enemy groups (Council,COT, Freaks...) and how vulnerable he can be to others (Carnies..I hate you...).
Power Pools taken for defense were Black Scoripion, Fighthing, and Leaping. Link below with screenie of the build. Plant Thorn Defense build
I'm not really looking to redo the build, it works for what I use it for (running the The Code Merlin arc). I'm just curious if anyone else is using dom builds that are primarily high defense and not Permadom. Permadom get's a lot of attention, but with the recent reworking of Doms, high defense or +Damage builds seem like they would be just as useful. And probably more attainable (i.e cheaper).
