Permadom is SO MUCH FUN!

My Fire/Fire/Fire dom hit 50 a month or so ago and she was one of the most enjoyable characters I'd ever had (probably only bettered by my melee-fort) even with a mostly frankenslotted build. The control side was limited, but with the fire epic, I was playing like a blaster, 'cept with some added toys. Great fun. 10 days or so ago, I decided to bite the bullet and throw the odd billion or so inf at her and reach permadom status...

And it is soooooooo much fun. Worth every penny (or whatever the smallest denomination of inf is). Locking down whole spawns with Flashfire (bosses included) while raining firey death from above and toasting the survivors. And doing it every spawn. Bosses? Pah, one shot holds them, and a couple of cycles of Blaze > FB > Incin ends it. Team or solo, it's great just running around setting fire to all the helpless fools who dare oppose me

Anyway, that's all I really wanted to say. Fire^3 doms are great to begin with, but permadom Fire^3 doms go beyond the impossible when it comes to sheer enjoyment

Fun when PermaDom is up... not so much when its down

My EC/elec is 95% of the way to permadom. I can re-fire it five or six times, but on the bad cycle of hasten it still crashes. It's a totally different mindset. I went with chill mastery for sleet and frozen armor; it's a stretch concept-wise but synaptic overload, sleet, and static field are really alpha busters, when paralyzing blast is on recharge

I have a couple more powers to slot up the 47 and 49 selections for more -recharge, and I there.

Permadom was even more fun, when Dom had a 75% damage buff.

at +206% recharge, My fire/psi was an absolute monster when Dom was double stacked for almost 23 seconds

I like it better the way it is. I prefer the damage increase across the board instead of a massive damage boost only while permadom. Makes leveling MUCH easier.

Alphas will ONLY affect things that can actually be slotted with recharge enhancements. So spiritual will make hasten and your powers recharge faster, however ED will still come into effect so you will have some diminishing returns.

I like Cardiac. In fact I would say that 90% of my Alpha Slotted toons have used Cardiac because I can ALWAYS use End reduction. Less End used means more powers used, more frequently and is very noticeble in long fights. Even though Domination will recharge my bar to full I have found many times I have gotten dangerously close to running out of end, and on some occasions I have run out before the bar refills.

Musculature I went with on one Dom because he has the ability to recover end being an Elec/Elec/Mu. However he was slightyly underslotted on damage on a few powers. Three SO's of damage is about a 95% damage boost. Thats the target I aim for with damage. I had a few powers that were around 85% because some IO's ( namely Decimation ) wont give you enough damage. So Musculature topped that off nicely and added abbout another 8%-10% damage to most of my attacks.

Nerve to me is useless. I usually have slotted enough accouracy, I am usually getting accuracy bonuses through IO's and Domination itself boosts my holds..
