APPs, OMG ^^
Are you sure DOMs get access to Rain of Fire?
Night Goblin 35 lvl BS/Regen Scrapper
Slag Heap 38 lvl Fire/Axe Tanker
Energy Anomoly 23 lvl Energy/Energy Blaster
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
Not only this, but just about every PPP hold is worse than the APP equivalent, are these things that will be looked at eventually?

The disparity between app's and ppp's has been an ongoing issue for many players since ppp's hit the Isles. Back in the day many players stated dissatisfaction with ppp's. In fact? PPP's were basically labeled trash even in the beta of the issue in which they originated. PPP's are still the same but over two years later villians get app's. Players actually said, " This PPP stuff is crap compared to App's.. cant we just have those?" So? I guess there is hope for improvement if a player has an awful lot of patience. I have to add that a minor tweak here and there does not constitute an overhaul to actually make powers have more utility.
Please feel free to read my sig.
Also, I really dont know why MacSkull is still holding his breathe and getting boggled.
Welcome to Cox.... same story every day.Even years later. I am convinced there is a timewarp here .The game in a continuum where everything remains the same as just a few unimportant things are changed but the larger issues remain ignored.Throw on another issue and an expansion and call it all good.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
and to the OP: i have so far swapped mu mastery for fire on my plant/psi doing direct ports for fireball->ball lightning and mu guardian for rain of fire and the shields are all the same. all its shown me is how underpowered ball lightning really was. rain of fire is a welcome addition though and with my build and slotting i can have it out just about permanently if i can manage the endurance cost. on teams, my attack chain is all AoEs. it truly is like a mix between tank/brute and blaster, but you definitely have to know what youre doing.
one thing im afraid of is castle nerfing good things based on what skilled people with heavily IO'd builds can do with them. its what got us the stigma that domination 1.0 had as being weak unless you invested a ton of resources into them and everyone only using fire/psi.
OMG a Dev!
Castle please increase [Link Minds] stats, please please please...

I agree that buffing of some kind is in order; psi mastery seems fairly lacklustre at the moment, it could really use the love.

Doms are not buffers... they are hold you kill you...... if you dont like Psi Mastery pick another APP. Every PPP/APP has the " wicked stepchild" thrown in.

Please buff Ice Control.
Oh, it's coming, don't you worry. Just let the blasters complain for a bit about how they're not the damage kings and all that, and the brutes about how they had fury nerfed and now aren't as powerful. They'll start pointing at doms and saying it's not fair a CONTROL AT has as much or more dmg and that we're stealing team slots... blah blah blah.

So finally got the Ice Mastery pool slotted on my Fire/Psi domie.
It's insanely good. Flash fire, Sleet, Ice Storm, Fire Cages, PSW. Most minions melt in seconds. Lt's and Bosses are tougher but still they are immobilized firmly on top of Sleets debuff. Even on my piss-poor semi-perma build. I can only imagine what a High-end permadom can do.
I'm enjoying it for now, but I'm not holding out hope things will stay like this. It really is too good for words.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

Ya or nay?
Please buff Ice Control.
I'm completely perplexed by what's the plan here regarding APPs. This game has great DEVS and even when I don't agree with them, I can say most decisions they make are based on logic and data.
Which is what is so odd here..these sets are just so damend good. Maybe I'm too used to getting nothing red side, that when something great came along, I distrust it!!!

Castle's already confirmed that Sleet's going to have its recharge increased (probably to 120 or 240 seconds, up from the current 60) so that's probably about all you'll see for nerfs in regards to Cold Mastery. For those going on about how good their Fire/Psi is, you have to remember that current /Psi is a shadow of what it was only a few issues ago (hello, PSW nerf), so I wouldn't expect further nerfs.
"One day we all may see each other elsewhere. In Tyria, in Azeroth. We may pass each other and never know it. And that's sad. But if nothing else, we'll still have Rhode Island."
Right now, my Plant/Psi dom is stupidly good. Softcapped S/l, Proc'ed out Creepers, and Sleet is perma on my high recharge build. I drop sleet, Creepers, and ice storm on top of two mobs and I can pretty much walk away and come back to a bunch of dead bodies, and then do it again. Even when sleet gets its recharge double, my high recharge will ensure sleet will be up 50% of the time, just like ice storm. The combo is great. Of course, I would drop it in an instant for the old Domination/PSW.
Dominator's APP is insanely good at the moment.
Energy Transfer only 20s recharge? Either Mids is wrong or new changes are coming.
Yeah, Sleet's is crazy good at 60s recharge and debuffs 30%.
Man, APPs make Patron powers look so lame... T_T
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
They can keep the long recharge on patron pet but get rid of the duration! :P

heh I just realized that my dominator has access to fireball now so my ice/fire dom can now call down the aoe hurt in the classic blaster way but from the compleate saftey of a ice patch.
patch, rain, ball, breath, whatever else seems like it should be wrong with aggro jack helping kill the stragglers.
Now we aren't ready quite yet to let the catgirls out of the bag.... (quote from ex libris)
Dear devs, please fix Energy Transfer:
Its awesome awesemosity is so high I cannot control using it every time its up. I am finding myself at 20%-40% life way too frequently without getting hit once by my foes. My high recharge build is not making any things better.
I fear at this rate I will kill myself and my enemies will be surrounding my corpse with a perplexed look on their faces, where one will say "he killed himself to kill Pat, and now his corpse seems happy. . ."
Please save me from myself.
Thanks
What is APP's and PPP's? lol I just came back and I'm being bombarded by all these weird new words. lol
