Solo Master of ITF

Soloed a Master of ITF earlier with my Mind/Fire Dom. I took a few breaks in between missions so it could have been completed faster. It probably took around 40 minutes to take down Romulus at the end heh.

I wish Trollers were as rap3 as Doms but this simply isn't the case, my Ill/Rad will never be able to do this.

Cg! Some very impressive feats.

You're inspiring me to try some of these solo TFs.

Curious what powers from the primary and 2ndary you would consider skippable on a mind/fire dom built for this sort of stuff?

Gratz Kev, very nice

Can't wait to start trying this stuff on my mind/fire. 13 bil down the drain, just gotta accolade him .

If there were such threads to revive, this would be one of them.

Seriously though, most of Mind/ is skippable, could complete this with just Confuse alone. However, my build has everything but Levitate, TK, and Total Dom. On the /Fire side, I didn't take any of the AoE's or the snipe, you want Blaze, Incinerate, and Fire Blast for your main attack chain. Confuse > Blaze > Incinerate should be the chain you use for AV's. And of course Ice Mastery is a must for the epic powerset, I completed this before it was released for Doms.

*goes along with the necro since it pertains to my interests* :P

Did u ever try chaining Dominate > Blaze > Incin on AVs for a bit of extra damage, or does the hold not last long enough? I'd think it would work for lvl 50 AVs but not sure about higher level ones. *needs to start playing dom more*

I don't have a Mind/Fire Dom, but my Mind/Psi Dom was able to easily solo the ITF without any temps (should have set it to masters, but didn't). For that run I relied mostly on Confuse. However, from experience I've been able to perma hold level 50 AVs with ease and defeat them using that method instead. When I tried it on a level 52 AV, it was possible, but a lot less reliable, especially if you miss that odd time. I do not have TK in my build, but I imagine it would help remedy that issue.

I'd have to mess around with what levels you can reliably permahold an AV at, but you can do it, especially lvl 50's. However, it's riskier and sometimes the RNG will screw you and the hold will wear off.

Confuse is a lot easier to stack since the duration is longer, so it gives you some leeway when you miss. The higher level AV's you won't be able to permahold so Confuse is the only option.

Also, if you have a high recharge build, Dominate will recharge in about 2 seconds, which is shorter than the above chain. Since the hold duration is shorter you pretty much wanna use Dominate as soon as it's up to minimize the chance of the AV breaking the mez.
