Dimension Shift Question?

Hi,

I have posted the below on the Dominator Forum, but it could be easily answered by a Troller too.... so thanks in advance!

"Hi,

I have just rolled my first Gravity Dom, and I was curious about Dimension Shift since the new changes. My main question is this.... How easy is it to aim? I like the sound of the power alot, and was hoping to mainly use it for soloing and splitting up awkward spawns.

To explain what i mean..... If you had say 4 minions and a Leitenant standing around with a few feet between them, when you aim it, do you get a recticle to see exactly where the intangable zone is, or do you just get a centre point, and guess roughly who will fall in and out of the zone? In other words could i easily split maybe the leitenant and 1 minion inside, and the rest outside?

If you could place it exactly, then you could maybe split the spawn, some in some out, and that could be a nice control, tool. I am so hoping this ability is now usful, but just needed a little more info on how accurate you can be with it...

Thanks in advance!"

Copy your character to Test or Beta and try it out there to see if you like it.

I believe the changes are already on Live, but my toon is only lvl 3, it was a question in advance, before I push on with this toon. I also am curious how Singuality behaves with this power? Does he move in and out of the phased zone on his own, or does he only go into the phase if you do?

Also if you then come out, does he follow, or warp, or stay in the phase area?

Thanks again!

Very easy to Aim once you know the size of the bubble. For me, Singy tends to follow me at range. If i pass through the group, he'll be in the group/bubble. He rarely goes in on his own. I've never seen him warp the baddies out of the bubble and would guess it's not gonna happen.

It's a fun power that takes a sharp mind to use. When used by rookies it can be trouble. I've posted this before, but remember to grab the hyperphase temp power. It'll allow you to attack(and be attacked) while the bubbles is up. The point would be if your teammate is dying you can DS and PS and continue attacking from range. Just one of the tricks i use.

Grav/ is my new favorite toy =)


PS: IDK is Singy can attack while I'm PS'd (attacking phased baddies)... I'll test it.

Cool.... Thanks for the explanation that is a great help.....


I did also wonder how this works with Bosses? I notice that it has a 10mag Imobilize, but only a 3mag Intangible. So I assume a Boss would be stuck in the zone, but could fire out at you still? Does that mean if you went inside the phase, that he could not shoot you even tho he is rooted inside.... So complicated the mind boggles!

Pets share the phase state of their owner. If you're phased then Singularity will also be phased.
