Solo Master of ITF

I'll have to chat you up in detail on those Kev after I get my Mind/Fire to fiddy. I plan on solo'n all the M's.

At the moment I've got a non-sleet build planned, but since the Dom isn't fiddy yet once I do slot it out I'll be playing around and testing the non-sleet approach on the easier Master TFs before I take on the more difficult ones. I would prefer sleet but will be testing the Melt Armor approach first. I want my damn Fire Ball/RoF.


Space reserved for a super awesome Signature, someday...

Alright, just let me know. I'll be trying a MoLRSF once those damn rare and very rare alpha boosts get released.

As far as other Masters besides the ITF, not sure if they're possible with a Mind/Fire. LGTF has the Honoree and he has a higher base mez protection and resistance so can't perma mez him. Kahn/Barracuda, well they have Reichsman and you know the deal with the STF.

Woot ThreadRomancy!!!

Thx for the reply.

Really didnt want to take incinerate, but it's clearly in the top 3 dps attacks for a mind/fire. Thanks for talking sense into me.

I realize you didn't use them but as far as incarnates go I am guessing Musculature to push the dps up a bit higher since any Permadom without hasten build should already have enough recharge for the intended attack chain.

I just need a few more purples and I'll have a go at this.

Hey BTW much props to Fiery-Enforcer for actually being helpful on how he did it and what his spec is. Several would just keep it quiet or a secret. Granted not that hard to figure out from the pictures but you even go as far as explaining the methods and powers behind technique.

P.S. Happy the thread was revived.

Now if only there was a way for our mind doms to tackle the stf...

Mass sleep on the patrons, kill all but 1, pull it to the tower, sleep it, stack confuse, let it kill the tower, then work on recluse? Probably a major task, and possibly multiple nukes..... but doable?

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.
I tested this a bit. With confuse, my mind dom can stack roughly 120 mags of confuse on a level 50 AV. On a level 54, I don't think I got him past the purple triangles, if I remember correctly. I think It was hovering at around 2 mags over the triangles, which isn't enough to actually keep him still/fight for you. Holds would be even harder, like you said.

I was experimenting with a solo STF on my Mind/Psi Dominator a little while ago and was able to use Black Scorpion to take out the other AVs even though I could not keep him confused 100% of the time. It just takes a very long time, but it is possible.

Some RL stuff picked up for me and I was unable to keep working at it, but recently I've decided to try again with the level shift in place. Hopefully this will allow me to keep the AVs confused.

That won't work since Recluse and the towers don't spawn until all the patrons are dead.

Caveat -- Year or 2 since did this with the Ill/Emp
Further Caveat - Has been since week 2 of GR since did this with the Mind/Psi Dom.

You can confuse the Flyer to murder towers for you (agrro em while is close to the 'LR area' then confuse it while in Proximity of tower(s) )


--LR will agrro on the Flyer due to it attacking the tower. The computer AI gets 'confused' itself and if you stay out of LOS of LR then he will usually stayed aggro'ed on the Flyer.

Problemo being --The flyer's ambushes that it spawns come out as Un-friendlies and love to 'ruin your day'.
