ah thank you. I was actually wondering if there were reasons to switch to the homecoming launcher, and there is. I will do that today. Thanks again!

I have edited these settings dozens of times. They always revert when I log out and back on. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I ended up going Musculature Core. I tried the tier 3 of both radial and core and couldn't see the benefit of radial, but i did actually feel the extra damage. Thanks for the input guys. Any suggestions on which Lore or Interface to take? I took Barrier Radial for my Destiny slot - not t4 yet but it is t3.

good idea with the D-sync enhancements. I initially didnt have super speed on this guy, but once i hit 50 i had to get it. Running across zones with just ninja run was just too slow. Once on the mission map not that big a deal but i dont know if i can get rid of it again. I havent used absorb procs before - i thought you had to use the power for them to work so the only place to put them would be a heal. That is good to know it will go off if it is just slotted.

Infrigidate hits like a truck and is just part of my normal single target attack chain like this, though i could potenitally drop the accuracy IO. Sleet could definitely use another recharge IO, the one in there now is at +5 and it is up every 18ish seconds with global recharge and force feedback proc. Benumb i had one recharge but i was noticing it was missing, though it was before i had respeced into focused accuracy. I would like to have some additional slots in each of those powers to reduce cool down a bit, but i feel it is best optimized this way. I had not thought about intuition radial. The added range would be nice for the cones, but would kind of be a waste until i get past the first few levels since it initially only increases hold duration. As for the use of the build, no specific goals. I do usually team, but just trying to create a good build that is effective and contributes at a high level to team, but is also able to solo if i desire. *edit* I think i can get rid of the chance to hold proc in Gloom. I virtually never see it go off and that slot would be better in benumb or sleet probably.

I just came back to the game a week or so ago and leveled up this dark/cold corr and have been having fun with him. I am torn between what ability to take for my alpha - i know i want to do Musculature but i do not know if i should go core or radial. The added to hit debuff would be nice, but the added damage would also be much appreciated. Anyone have strong beliefs here? here is my build if curious. Will post the mids file if anyone wants it. I just crafted Musculature boost but not sure which tree to follow. I am sure some of you have opinions here.

wow this looks fantastic. I really appreciate it. I mostly play corrs, so i do tend to stand at range, though i go in and out of melee to get buffs (fulcrum, heatloss, etc). and to nuke. Cant wait to get this thing to 50 now! Thanks again for all the help and feedback!

I appreciate the feedback. I didnt intentionally not use purples, I am pretty efficient in the market and can usually get enough inf for most anything. I was building for S/L defense (which may not be the best anymore?) and recharge. I wasnt sure if procs were worth it in some of the AOE stuff. I know in long recharge, single target attacks it is the way to go. Should i be adding more procs to those big AOEs (vines, roots, etc.)? I havent decided on incarnates yet as i was going to see how the build felt before picking them. As for endurance, i honestly thought between the full bar you get from popping dom, and drain psyche i would be ok. Maybe that will not be the case in practice. Resistance numbers i find were hard to pick up in sets unless specifically going after them. with the s/l defense changes, maybe that should be the priority instead of defense? Attaching the build file here. Psylantt - Dominator (Plant Control - Psionic Assault)....mbd

I had some time this evening to update and work on the build. let me know what you think. *edit* i am bad at this, not sure how to export so it shows more detail than just the data chunk. Putting a screenshot below. Also, how do i increase regular IOs to be +5? Can't remember how to do that. |MBD;24696;1455;1940;BASE64;| |G3dgACwK7FgGTowOBtXQKHo7qOki5UdfGoClgNKfV6r2On/Ko3EgTO/zupJuNDs+CUa| |TLF19rcMC0tVf6mdVT5K7zl2T6RksPdvMyqABtPn7j3vfVchKkHYlin4jsci3bhh72D| |XvH/lhboVcU1haoTAS4YvEupeqnMMWElwtbC+/AwuEjJZNhasZlQ0cBAt5XfgwLCqMi| |l6cPNqchF17/t+J3cMoZB6ccDt9dBb8PUQsQFKqTNCfU99XuOI8uE7XMqyQ8jDj/oPK| |wr2IvL+Adb9eyuOu8qZUiLOznNoozM/W37CKLy0MZ6h0ZfV7PlZ+DbEqCiWyE+FypZQ| |c9Y5K8uMQs/msnLmZjbmYc6mvEj9ifUU6lmiL20ExLMfXWG0flIcaxMc2IVPtjCoNtt| |xJWWe5F2fElZ8O9dS2jQZ2ynTsV17sfEzJSspmEpUqcTGW3816kZIVPqkcakuF2DkQd| |F7s7h8pKcdXC4njvS0rvEVLlZ6DKVxZq68hlh0z3utsYYRWvtwoaxd0xR9fpiXXEiwd| |mZnuaOIhrDorX8rjrZ3AkKPQGZI6NB/JXb7BjdBDOgiHGyiGH2FL7IeZn0QfgZ8wCjs| |7Oe4r/qGGzol+/EIZLv0jsd3kaVCA3UpbzOhG1zlPnTFjs+H8quYVvuPlUMbKS+1kP3| |mdB2yVjdYiowDLTZSgCMtrwSE0hX/LfMvpXqkicAPD0bzcO4udbMajJ1JYuVHAx+Ae6| |BIYkUJC12CVzmseER2w0e9dinfG5FFK0+EKwyr2QhXTND3k/wJ3ufeBDJbx5aO2TbJg| |2Yp7MXwXnZhtiaZuAZSoEfQedgToWTCnbh1TJQJ3MDRuo2V2+aiqZegceWQ2WIe1r8q| |nB13xFJxapwgGJN28ORgYkfSCUnzUMgwwpnmf4cJKBmNI1g2whTNsoQdq05uMr5lQuW| |dvxUUBjQsnSWCEtYxtmqflQo/8FfVoDQAcEI9Bj/srj70e/jmUPIEHOUgsmTsxkrSFb| |2V03Nivdj0yLSD3E/DF8D10eWqFW7aZnw43XRNYZhhjuZgKGGK5ydRMwa0fNaSiAB54| |zrr/1Y0OMBDZ7hIlKKKx6XRsqbCTQtS4Z6Gfrk5Y/8q6X+Gwl7/cfJnMRHIub4/r1se| |XXzBxiz7B3r5qIURzOQybM9CADoAmiRG7CS3oCGhDxyAXtbjscjf7dSgR6sYMYCIsem| |IO3Q5D2A5gH+jsOLKuF/7rAHIe/O7UTu4hOdvWBJRbTAAnwIRwIkxEYiKBCxPDyTApE| |ii6PgS+LWvva/ALrHbbsJzP7FhmTK9e3pU6mBLXcP8X24d0lfJIfsgTQ42b2MyKLa+Q| |udD42W/L6vrWl6/z0gjAF8P3X2fcE/FUX8l5qG09O9OSeRgpSD8ki7cPfzIMwVMYUMj| |VK1MTXzstbg8uKyoXN2P+OF0bgYfuF5Q1aqeS699lFGnzQGuSxopOmKCIj0MGYZBkEd| |5qppisLDw/qJdJSJPoOt4PcNqY5z5kLBfP89VUCEwT0CQwwmayNJGPSS7whc7CjQuOa| |U7a1J8IL3ds1sWdOogpPtNyo8GnmwV67rALn727VPg3bJikX4AHslP7Gq+MqKeTQMnN| |1rAVVKA+ppTFCEhdn66cAZY/+yUmDVKU0XMC0cnKsIAhloahGEeLvWN2a8rjrv/Agqh| |25jS4DJzbAOX3/KeLAnBz5rt/vrH00I/uvbQNFAYox19qiwzrBGfjdDtP+hZ4Ny6ece| |28uHkgc8539P0wr69N+K2dsM7Z7Ek+ZTdHi77y3oqQjyFqzFtYw177Jntm/BaP2D4wv| |wYwEFpfJf68E7M+wFGIUg3kf5b1lzIfepwCJ/qb07aiD4TJABl1xa8mFhyrGeoNkun2| |lIGEtdVQvwq0oES6kTp79a8TsJ5zaTxu3Kts/nNLFsd0onvnK3H1ewSV3mjcDwsa|

I appreciate the responses. I don't mind posting my build but I want to reconfigure it a bit (it's from several years ago before they changed the levels powers are available). Right now it's a plant/psi/cold build with good defense and high recharge. Will try to post it tomorrow.

What are the thoughts on this combo? I just came back to the game and have one sitting in the esrly 30s, but I was reading thst psi is not very good end game. I really like the build in mids - awesome def/resist numbers and perma dom. I am just wondering if I should reroll to a different attack set. all thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like you're using dark as your blast set. Torrent is a great opener if you put the proc that turns knock back to knock down (can use it without this but it sends them flying and doesn't keep everyone grouped very well). You can use torrent and then fulcrum pretty safely, and then drop your nuke or cone attacks.

I found it. Was in the defender forums if any are interested. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/7116-proc-monsters-the-new-offender/

The other day I was reading a thread about all The possibilities with dark/dark and how much damage the procs can cause. I can't find the thread anywhere now. I am nearly positive it was in the corr forum, but could be in the defender? I have searched through both. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. thanks in advance.

Thank you both for the responses. I think I was just doing it incorrectly before. I am going to sit down whene I get home and go through the process again while reading these posts (and the new guide linked). Thanks!

Thank you!! I feel I have wasted a lot of inf trying to figure this out but can never seem to get the settings right. Going to try some more when I get off work and see if I can make some inf.

Can someone explain the settings in the conversion window? I have read some of the guides on here several times and when I think I understand it I still get outcomes I’m not expecting. In set - is this within the specific set that the IO currently is? So if I have a thunder strike, it will concert to a different thunder strike? Or does it convert to a different ranged damage set? out of set - I can probably answer this one if I understand the first. I thought this mean out of the type of set. So if I have a PBAOE IO and concert with setting I could end up with basically anything else?

You are right, but my question was more can the rains individual ticks proc cores damage stacks?

This this thread is so active, figure I would make sure I’m not crazy. If a storm summoning defender doesn’t take freezing rain, they are gimping themselves, right? I did an ITF last night and couldn’t figure out why things were not dying faster. Only had two debuggers, myself and s storm defender with no freezing rain.

Someone else asked but I am also curious about how these play with pseudo pets (I.e. rain type powers). I am I trying to decide which way to go for my ice/cold. My gut says radial, but core may be good to increase AoE damage from ice storm and blizzard. Does sleet count since it technically does damage?

Should I be forgoing set bonuses in order to slot more procs in single target attacks? I know set bonuses are important, but also moar damage!

Does it always stun the minions pretty much due to the long recharge?

I would also be very curious if the chance for stun works well enough to slot it in heatloss. Would make getting in close to get a big stack of heatloss a lot safer.

The more ya know. Is it 3% on brutes or something’s? I don’t think I pulled that out of thin air, but maybe.

Assault doesn’t really give you very much damage unless you have multiple people running it. Don’t have Pines in front of me but I think it’s like 3%. I don’t think it would really impact your powers the way you are thinking. Maneuvers and weave are so good because of how powerful stacking defense is. Tactics can be enhanced to get decent to hit bonus. Also, I know it’s for thematic reasons, but box and kick are not worth using at all. Maybe as a set mule, but I would not use it over one of your DP attacks.
