Boy howdy. I think you might've had enough forums for today.

Scrappers & Stalkers: "They're still at it?"

Well, now I know what I'm playing on vacation. XD

So, revised build. I'm stuck with Sparkling Chain since there wasn't much else at 2, and Hypnotizing Lights is the other "Oh Poopie" power next to Explosive Bouquet but I didn't have the slots. Buttstroke is gone, Buckshot is back (hail to the king), and I pumped up Targeting Drone so that I get the +22% To Hit to make Sniper Rifle shine. And still have more than enough recharge for Permadom. Defense is... eh, but the Column, the now proc-bombed Missiles, the Mine, and the Aura should do a lot to help there. I'll give her a whirl on Brainstorm later and see how she does. Officer Foxfire - Dominator (Pyrotechnic Control - Arsenal Assault).mbd

Thanks for the feedback! Buttstroke was going to be part of the single target chain, and Charged Armor plus Tough gets me just below 50 S/L resist and I'm not sure that's completely worth it. Having actually put her lower-level powers to work, however, and seeing how they work, I'm probably gonna start from scratch. I need to at least buff her AoE because the Column and Missiles alone aren't cutting it so far.

Easy missions you can do with lowbies tagging along for XP. Its why I don't see Kallisti overtaking Peregrine in LFG anytime soon.

They've been listening to Castillo''s recommendations on how to 'flex' at the other villain groups.

I have a vague idea of what I'm doing here. I do a lot of PuG teaming and small teams, and the odd solo when I feel like merit farming. Permadom was a must and I got that. I also fit in some defense including a lot of ranged, even though she'll be throwing elbows and rifle butts a lot. Wish I had a better place for the ATO, but the adaptive recharge will mean it'll get a lot of use against harder targets. I think she'll do well, but I want to run her past the dom veterans first before I go into any respecs. Foxfire - Dominator (Pyrotechnic Control - Arsenal Assault).mbd

She's only at 18 and Mids hasn't updated yet for me to think on her full build. I'm thinking maybe, but I'm gonna need some pool power slots and it's gonna be hard not taking the whole Pyro list.

Shows how much I play doms. XD Yeah, I meant Arsenal.

If anyone has 'Foxfire', hit me up and see if we can arrange something. I'd like to shorten her name up.

My Pyro/Arsenal might be my first dom to break level 30 and make 50. Pyro is legit that fun. Though I do admit the powerr combo is purely concept (and page 2 isn't on Mids yet), so I'm not too worried about performance. Watching mobs sporadically go flying makes me wonder if I should make her alt build all knockup sets. XD

There were several iterations of the patch that went through, with changes to Plant Control and Tanker inherents that I know were made due to player testing.

If you're trying to make a Pyro 'troller or dom, stay in line!

If you're gonna come in here dooming because of a nerf, I'm gonna dismiss you easily. Just as I'm dismissing anything you say. Bye now.

Still working on my Fire/Energy's build, I'm too happy with her to try something new yet.

Given the challenge level is reducing the animation time without making the animation look bad, I'd say it's possible.

AE was always going to be broken no matter how the rewards were given. Farms existed even before AE. Once the meta route to easy rewards is found, that would always be the way. The Skinner Box model itself has been broken for a long while now. Its why Guild Wars 2 gave up on vertical progression and FFXIV ties it to the main story quest. Give people a pellet dispenserr, and they'll find a way to jam the dispenser open.

I was in a -1 this week and it still took forever and a day to grind Reichsman down.

Nobody fights AVs anymore? This mentality is why nobody's been running Kahn even as the WST, nobody wants to spend a half hour grinding down Reichsman with just DPS.

Y'all want stuff for free, there's always Brainstorm.

I was under the belief from other forumites that we were in a brutepocalypse from the last round of tanker buffs. Or is it all overwrought declarations?

I keep seeing overwrought declarations like this, yet I still see brutes out in the wild all the time. 🤔

Hard content needs people playing it and if the critical mass of players aren't, well... (There is a discussion to be had of CoH running on an outdated Skinner box model, but that's for another discussion.)
