Hey, guys?

The only 'Dominator love' I know of was when Dominators were skipped in the last *proliferation* and there was promise of something coming for Dominators. It was not a promise of brand new sets, though the proliferation of Dark was close to being new sets with all the new animations and powers.

Previous to that, you had Dominator changes where some damage was moved from Domination to non-Domination attacks so that Dominators weren't so hot and cold outside of perma-Dom.

Also, perma-Dom was allowed to continue to exist.

Eggsactly! And this was what I was referring to!

Dark/Dark qualifies as "something coming for Dominators." They never specified what that "something" was, or was not. They also never said it wouldn't come alongside "something coming for not-Dominators."

Except it was stated as an excuse for why Doms weren't getting anything while everyone else was, which does imply something special for them and only them. Otherwise it simply fails as a justification.

Now at this point I've come to the conclusion that either there never were any such plans, or that we are seeing an error in dev/player relations. If there is something special planned, they should have released at least a hint or two by now to help convince people that what they promised actually exists. And if there isn't something special planned, they shouldn't have used such a promise as an excuse for shortchanging Doms.

No and no, it does not. I'm sorry, but getting all huffy because of baseless assumptions you made is just outright idiotic.

You mean other than the fact that Illusion only has 3 powers in the whole set that would benefit at all from Domination?

Blind, Deceive, and Flash are the only powers in Illusion that Domination would have any affect on at all.

It has: 2 invisibility powers, a ranged attack, a taunting trio of pets, a fear-inducing pet (that won't benefit from domination because the fear isn't coming from you), and the standard control pet.

Illusion would need a bit of rethinking to work for Dominators. Doesn't make much sense to port a set to an AT when that AT's inherent ability is useless for 66% of the set. That's like giving scrappers a set in which only 3 powers are capable of critical hits.

It can be argued that Illusion is a strong enough set to make up for that fact.

So, should the devs give other ATs powersets in which only 3 powers work with that AT's inherent ability, on the same logic that the set is strong enough to not need it?

Corruptors get a set that only has 3 powers that will Scourge.
Tanks get a set that only 3 powers trigger Gauntlet.
Scrappers get a set that only 3 powers will crit.
Brutes get a set with only 3 powers that build Fury.

The devs wouldn't do that to any of those ATs, I think it unlikely that they'd do it to Dominators.

and you're surprised by this?
This is not just an online forum. It's an online GAMING forum.

Not surprised. Just feel the need to state the obvious in the hopes that it'll sink through a skull or two someday. Wild fantasy, I know, but we gotta hold onto something, right?

Yes, Tanks got Titan Weapons, which only has three single target attacks, and thus, only three single target powers with AoE taunts.

Uh... Only 3 powers in Illusion control can OVERPOWER (Blind, Deceive and Flash) and only 3 work towards containment (Blind, Spectral Wounds, Flash).

...What was the point again?

Not to mention that all Masterminds will only ever have three powers that are affected by Supremacy. Doesn't matter that primary or secondary they pick.

Some of my characters

Nit Pick: Spectral Wounds doesn't set up Containment, it gets extra damage from it.

And Containment works with any pool power or APP damage power on mezzed targets as well.

The point is I'm tired of there being absolutely nothing unique to any AT anymore.

If Illusion is ported Controllers will no longer have a unique power set. Just like when Scrappers eventually get Ninjitsu Stalkers will no longer have a unique set.

Many people think that is a GOOD thing. I disagree. I'm still firmly of the opinion that every AT should have one powerset that can only be used by that AT. It's never going to happen, because people will whine until they get their way if the devs tried, but that doesn't change my opinion.

So, go ahead and pine for a port of a set that makes the Dominator inherent pointless. You'll probably get your way eventually. And I'll just have to be annoyed because the uniqueness of something is gone.

The point is that if they had a do-over, illusion would be changed radically from its current form. See the lack of proliferation for super strength, spines and ice melee.

Incidentally, the swordfish is green and little Eunice cannot paint the small overstuffed chair. The word is "albatross." Paint the chair red. Immediately.

Same thing with the old Zig tutorial villainside. I logged onto an old shelved character about a week ago to save the costume, and was quite surprised to find they were still there and everything worked normally.
