Ever get hit in the face with an unexpected blast of cold air (from someone opening a door in the winter or somesuch)? Ever get abruptly dunked in ice-cold water? It tends to discombobulate you for a second or two.

Speaking from experience on both counts.

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking.

Thanks for the derailing guys In the end, I made an Elec/Psy, and Im happily laying chaos in the enemy files with the knockback, the sleep patch, and the enddrain aura.

What could be the sooner I could have permadom? I have one or two sets of lvl 30 basilisks laying around with some LotG

Now, you can keep talking about ice

Another handy side effect with that power is that standing in the patch with one or more enemies procs a lot of +end at you.


Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

Soonest you can get permadom? Hmmmm. Maybe 35, if you pushed hard. If you wait till late 30s early 40s, you can pick up other sets which will provide other things other than recharge. At 50, you can slot a bunch of cheap purple sets and spiritual and totally kick ***.

One of my most favorite thing to do with Elec is slotting Jolting Chain. I fill that thing up with so many awesome Procs sometimes for me that one powers makes my Elec/ shine.

I don't play Elec because the -end aura's visual effects and the sleep patch's audio give me headaches.

I have heard this is actually a good use of jolting chain. Never tried it. Spamming the hell out of fences with reactive always did me good.

You should! For instance in Jolting Chain you can slot...

1.Devastation-chance to hold (15% for 8 seconds)
2.Decimation-chance of build up (5% chance for 5.25 seconds 68% damage buff to all)
3.Energy Manipulator-chance to stun (mag 2 10% chance)
4.Force Feedback-chance for +Recharge (10% chance for 100% recharge to all for 5 seconds)
5.Entropic Chaos-10% chance for 5% heal.

All of these can be placed in Jolting chain along with a few other yummy procs but these 5 I think would be the most used. the Tempest and the Javelin Proc wouldn't help you much.

I use all of them except for the 5th one...now imagine a lot of these procs firing when you use Jolting chain...sounds great right? Now imagine the chances of them proc'ing once you spam JC every 3 to 4 seconds...Oh yeah and let me tell you they fire A LOT.

Force Feedback doesn't do anything in Jolting Chain, and I think that Decimation doesn't either. Energy Manipulation's mag2 stun is unimpressive in my testing, but Devastation is fantastic.

Believe Force Feedback does work AND fire...in fact I've had my butt saved thanks to Force Feedback. Decimation doesn't do to much...neither does EM but it gives you a few seconds and sometimes that's all you need.

The procs that have really changed things for me is FF and Devastation. No only does FF show a little icon when it fires but your power tray lights up when it fires as well.

Are you trying to say the 5 second 100% recharge duration is to short of a window to help with your toon's recharge?

Being a chain power, the effects that only help the caster (self heal, recharge, build-up) should only go off on the initial cast, rather than at every jump - though when you're using it every four seconds, that might not be too shabby.

I had a feeling that was what Talen was getting at. Yeah, the three that you mentioned only have a chance to fire on the initial cast but if you are using it every 4 seconds...yeah not to bad. the part that makes it even more crazy is with Ageless and Hasten you can get the Recharge of JC to 2.57 seconds.

Thank God Devastation-Chance to hold has a chance to fire for every time it jumps.

You were spending too much time in the Stalker forums and they couldn't see you.

I like the suggested changes to Ice Control, by the way.

To the OP: a few. I have one, and I know two others, and seen a few more.

I personally enjoyed my Elec/Elec, more for conceptual reasons, but it certainly made playin' my Elec/Storm controller easier.

Heh, Stalkers and Doms made me the man I am today lol. Thanks, quite a few fellow posters thought up some interesting suggestions for the set...I think it sounds great and I look forward to the changes in the future.

Not trying to revive an old Thread, but I have an Elec/Elec Dom at level 43, and so far she is hands down the easiest Dom I've leveled. The control powers do have a few quirks, but they combine well with Elect. attacks. My Dom is a End Draining machine, I open with Static Field, Then Tesla Cage each mob and burn them down one by one. If Mobs are tightly packed, I use Paralyzing Blast and /or Synaptic Overload to hold the second mob untill I can finish off the first. I generally solo while leveling, and I haven't ran into any enemy group she can't handle easiely. Heck, I've I've even had to turn up the Difficulty, becasuse it was too easy. To any who care, I recommend Elec/Elec.


Black-Strike: lvl 50 AR/Dark Corruptor
Brutally Beautiful: lvl 50 BA/Inv Brute
Seared Earth: lvl 50 EC/EA Dominator
Yashi Onuku: lvl 50 Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu Stalker
Death-Widow: lvl 50 Night Widow

And I'd disagree with the OP anyway, I see electric all the time. I definitely notice them because I find all the flashing graphics of the powers annoying personally, first time I find a powerset that way (sonics never bothered me like some people).

If you use the Dark option it's not as bad.

Yeah. I tend to either use the dark palette or the desaturated colors on the far left of the bright palette, so that the strobing effect is less distracting.
