Odd problems with perma-dom

Posted

Has anyone else noticed that domination is dropping at strange moments in the last week or two? On two different dominators, my earth/fire and plant/fire, while running the STF I keep having domination drop shortly into the start of several of the missions, even though I not only have more than enough global recharge to keep domination perma with hasten up, in several cases I have had enough to keep it up without hasten due to external buffs (quick reflexes from secondary mutation or one of the recharge buffs from the magic card power)

In every case domination has dropped almost seconds after entering a misison - so something appears to be getting screwed up in my domination timer on zoning in.

For reference my plant/fire has 107.5% global recharge without hasten and my earth/fire has slightly over 100% (103%-107%, don't remember exact number).

Any chance you are getting hit with -Recharge (Psi Attacks)?

Yes, I have been hit by some -recharge (both from psi and all the web nades the stupid spiders use) and when my earth/fire was running the STF yesterday or the day before I figured that was the cause. Today, however, I was running an STF on my plant/fire and I lost domination at the start of every single mission after the first. In at least 2 of those missions (the PI mission vs the 4 AV's and the thorn tree mission) I was running at 220% recharge between my global recharge, hasten, +30% from secondary mutation and another 15% from a mystic fortune power. Hasten was perma the entire time and never dropped, even doubled up for a few seconds.

The dom drop was almost always within the first 10-20 seconds of the mission as well.

I've had this problem too several times. I think it's a glitch in the zoning that is causing this. I notice it alot when I am running my farm map and I know the mobs I fight don't have any slows. I fight Nemesis and sometimes fire demons and neither have any slows that would cause my domination to drop.

So it's not just you who is seeing this.

Do you have Domination on auto? If so it's likely the zoning bug, sometimes auto powers won't go off after you zone.

That might be it - I do run with domination on auto-fire and rely on memory to fire off hasten, however I never noticed the problem before, so either its worse than it used to be, or it is something else. It doesn't help that a lot of cut scenes or other things throw the client off and make powers look like they are recharged when they aren't. I will have to keep an eye on the recharge status of domination after zoning.

Do hasten on auto and click dom... I have 2 or 3 dom stacked at a time, and I am mostly sure I have less rech than you. I think. Maybe?

It's a bug with zoning, it has nothing to do with Dom being on auto cast.

Keeping Domination on auto is better, unless you enjoy clicking powers more than you have to.

Well, the bug had to do with auto powers sometimes not casting after you zone. Unless we're talking about two entirely different zoning bugs.

I noticed the same thing, but it seemed to be linked to cut scenes. I zone all the time and don't notice anything weird, but occasionally Domination will be messed up if there's a cut scene. It happened to me most recently on the LRSF during the cut scene in the first mission.

I've noticed the zone bug affecting my Domination, but I've noticed something weirder than that that the zone bug doesn't apply to. In a single zone I have had perma-dom running smoothly until I get to a point where its like the duration for one domination changes. So basically, what I get is two dominations (or at least the icons) about to expire at the same time. How does that work?

came in here because I thought my mind was playing tricks on me and saw this thread. I've been having dom and hasten become non perma very frequently since the 20.5 patch. I've got 116.5% global acc 186.5% with hasten so its perma as well as dom, and I just zoned from grandville to cap and noticed that both hasten and dom dropped not long after despite not being slowed by anything because I was just standing around for a while.

It was a huge pain doing tip missions as everytime I entered a mission dom seemed to fizzle out despite normally being perma with a double stack for about 20 seconds.

I can't say I know why this is happpening but its become very annoying.
