It's just that Touch does not sound like an AoE really, more a single target touch.

Touch of fear should get a name change if it is to be an AoE. Aspect of Fear and make it a PBaoE or Visage of Death/horror/terror. Something more fitting anyway. So The AoE rotation could be...... Soul Drain- Touch of Fear- Dark Obliteration- Shadow Maul- Dark consumption- and depending on secondary a charge attack or Ground Zero and maybe a PBaoE Toggle? That is a lot of possible AoE attacks to rotate. Personally i would combine Soul drain and Dark consumption into one power and make a completely new AoE power. It doesn't look like it will matter though as it looks like Energy melee will be the Dps king lol.

It is still in Beta.

Ok. I just thought other sets have a cone damage attack and HC could become that cone....or not lol.

That would be 2 AoE attacks, I think that would be too much in some people's view. I think a cone would suit Handclap better anyway, hitting mobs infront of the directed Handclap shockwave. A bit like Hulk vs Abomination in the 2008 movie.

Isn't that time with hybrid assault on though? What time does it do with it off? Didn't the fire sentinel break the 2 minute mark with no hybrid? Still good though.

Personally I would just turn Handclap into a cone attack that does damage and stuns rather than knockdown. 10-20ft range 120 degree arc. Giving SS set a cone attack it lacks that other sets have. Leave Hurl as a single target attack but improve the DPA considerably. Hurl is a nice animation and it would be good to see it used more and not just dismissed as a badattack and dps loss. Remove the crash from single rage and apply it to double rage only. Adjust numbers of rage where needed. Lower to a 50-60% buff if necessary. Improve jabs numbers a little. I think those small fixes would be enough without changing the set drastically.

A 20% DDR unique IO would be nice.

Luck T1 Prosperous Auto +5% Influence gain T2 True Shot Auto +5% chance to hit T3 Uncanny Defence Auto +2% chance to defence T4 Advantageous Auto +2% chance to land a critical hit T5 Blessed For 20 seconds the user gains +5% defence, +5% mitigation, +5% to hit, +2% chance to critical hit and heals 3% health every 5 seconds. 3 minute cooldown. Rainbow effect animation.

At first i read Diaper Mummy lol. I though it was a badly applied diaper on his head haha

I do have 90% resists to both s/l and negative. I didn't notice getting stunned, but one minute i was full health and the second i was eating dirt lol. I checked my log and it said Hack critical for 4800 total(give ot take a few). I didn't think to check whether i has been CC'd though as it was instant, but i guess i must've been with that amount. Another good reason why a Defence set with DDR may work better for this. I have no problem killing the multitude of mobs quickly though with my AoE :). Small consolation 😛 Ty for explaining how it works to us...much appreciated 🙂

I must be a part time power gamer i think.....or a really dedicated casual 😛

Is there a tactic to last Romulus? I killed his nictus but just after i killed the last one Romulus hit me with a Critical Hack for 4800 points of damage even with 90% resists. He one shotted me.

Did you find you were slow debuffed much with that build? as the slow resistance isn't very high. How was the Dps on that build versus the bosses as you have no mitigation debuffs? does it have a pylon time? Did you use any external buffs like P2W etc? I know Shield is definitely tough but it will need a heal now and then either from Rebirth or a set that provides heals like yours. I tested this out of curiosity once with 60% defence and slightly higher mitigations than yours and it also had more control with AoE knockdowns.

I see myself as an experienced casual. The IO system is there so why would you not learn it, as it is part of the game? its not exactly rocket. Making INF is not exactly hard once past 50. It's the same as any game, you get the best armour etc. Some have all the best in a few days (powergamers) and some take a lot longer, but this game is not exactly new to a lot of players and in my casual play time if have earned and learned. It is that simple. And i just noticed i said "Exactly", too much 😛

I would just call that an experienced player that likes the game...a lot. You get to 50 and you can't help making INF. I have the above and i am certainly not a power gamer.

Funny i am just watching the Tom Cruise film...Live die repeat. Is this your ITF runs? lol

Yes i saw that 🙂. Definitely a struggle with Dps on a Tanker without Incarnate. I have been working on a WM/Rad Scrapper though. Whether it can survive with 75% resist though i am not sure. The dps should be there and would take some skilful play i reckon 🙂 I just don't know if i have patience... or the skill lol I would post the build but needs a little work still and i am drinking black Gin at the moment 😛

That's some Stamina there. Well done on the M3 no incarnate 🙂 Not seen Phase shift in a while...nice 😃

This may work well for you. It doesn't have Siphon as its not the best Dpa. Dark Consumption could be switched with Tactics, Taunt or something as you may not actually need it. You could also slot 5 SMotT set in Midnight grasp for more Ps resist at the cost of a damage proc. Evens smites and other damage procs for a psi resist IA. Upto you really. Here goes....

Possibly.

I understand where you are coming from.....but i think there needs to be other changes to PPM and content etc first as you say. An empath Defender could ask for the same as heals/buffs aren't needed in steamroll content either only damage buffs or Debuffs to speed kill time up. I just don't think the answer is for all AT's to be Damage classes also, which the Dom is not that bad at really.

Try farming on a sentinel. It isn't good. Or do a +4x8 on a MM. A blaster can Hover just like a Dom, but a Dom can also negate a lot of damage with mass CC that can actually damage also. The point is that Doms are in a decent spot. They may need a few tweaks here and there though. The content is the problem when CC isn't need anymore because its a steamroll. My experience with CC AT's is they don't know how to CC effectively anyway. Hitting the AoE CC when the mobs are spread everywhere is not the way to go really, let the Tanker do his job first. Why not ask for a Pet buff etc instead that would benefit both CC AT's? something that is actually unique to the class or even tweak some of the primary CC damage slightly. That would also benefit the controller, instead of I want MORE damage using Blasters as the comparison which are not anything like a Dom. Quoting you but not only responding to you.

Don't worry. i did another run today after saying i'm done with it lol. I got to the last mission and had Romulus and is fluffies in safe corner. I killed 2 of the fluffies and had one halfway down and i got Mapserved. I was slightly annoyed lol. I reckon i would have been about a 2 hour ish mark though. I can do it i just don't want to anymore for my sanity haha. I had no outside buffs and had buffed mobs, no insps, no temps, no deaths and 2 hour limit(which i may have achieved 😩)

Wow oh Wow, i never said you did, i was just stating a fact. Chill! Yes a few Blaster sets have a single target hold. How do you think Dom's are one of the best farmers? It is not a Blapper set it is just a blaster secondary. Blapper is a playstyle. Most but not all Blaster secondaries can be played that way. If Dom's clear slowly then why are they farming +4x8 maps easily? A kin Corruptor may be on par with a Scrapper but if the Scrapper has fulcrum also then they won't. CC is for locking mobs down so they become no or little threat. Though some AoE holds can do some damage if procced. The abilty to lockdown mobs so they can not fight back and very high damage would be OTT. I am not being anything i am stating the obvious and you are just choosing to be Delusional.
