LOL i knew people were gonna doubt me but I had @serxiom with me when it occurred.

Wormhole is a great move, but man that cast time is ridiculous. I love using it on teams only because they laugh when i wormhole them on the ceiling and they fall down stunned.

Thats a solid build and the end usage is great. I'm not happy you skipped the aoe immob but overall its a great build.

While I have changed my views on focusing more on recharge and then add def, that first video was a bad example because he started off with an attack instead of a mezz move. I will say in my build instead of using a lot of set bonuses to get high diff I rely on powers to get me to a soft capped def. Just about every build I look at who tried to soft cap def I notice their end burn is ridiculously high and have powers activated they aren;t going to use in battle together. Like someone making a build with combat jump and hover activated with no end redux in them. Spreadsheet numbers look good until you put them in use, As far as your dom I think you did fantastic on your build. We teamed together and both held our own.

I meant to post this other day when this happened. I was teaming with another forum poster so he can confirm it happened but I was about to hold a mob when Jack just ran up and used Ice Slick. I usually skip that power after 30 but it was just hilarious seeing him use it. Has anyone else who runs Ice/ seen him use it?

@UrbanHoundIs there a problem?

If you really want a challenge, fight through the Praetorian arcs from Nightward and Arachnos. They pretty much shrug off mez powers at high levels. That having +40 range def will not matter. It's purely about precision and speed at that point. I actually didn't realize this until I ran some missions with Mez's dom.

Solo play yes, on a team you won't get the luxury of that much prep time because the mobs will be gone by then.

Wow lol. Not sure why I never realized this until now. Probably why I favored redside more than blue during the live servers.

For end redux I would use IOs as they provide better stats than SOs and can be enhanced.

I would like to see that build in action. Do you actually run with the toggles turned on?

After 30 it's no longer relevant.

It's a pseudopet, I would explain it but there is an entire webpage dedicated to it's explanation. https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Pseudopet

Seeds of confusion has the faster aoe recharge than any confusion. 60 recharge (base) with a 29.8 (base) duration which means if you only two slot it with recharge IOs you can get the recharge time down to 32 secs. With hasten about 23 secs. And with set bonuses... even more. It's the best confuse in the game.

That's not true in the slightest. You can permadom a dom without a single purp or the one ATO set that offers recharge.

It does with me as well and a lot of people seem to ignore it. If in your set bonuses you still don't have a good end recov I would recommend picking up soul mastery and get dark consumption, or Mu mastery and get power sink since that would synergize well with the electric set. Early levels... meh. But to address the question I would skip it. Looking at Mids tho you can five slot it. Put Num's proc, miracle's proc, and three slot it with Efficacy adaptors. And that way you can two slot health with Preventive medicine proc and panacea's proc.

In that case you're already off to a bad start because as Doms we depend on set bonuses to help us prolong our godhood status with permadom. If you wanna go melee heavy go with Energy assault and for the epic pool pick up primal assault and get energy transfer. Keep in mind Doms have low hitpoints and you're not a tank/brute/scrapper/stalker, only have your mez powers to keep you safe.

Not sure why you brought up rech here. My point was if you're going to go def soft cap, would be better to go for melee than range. If you jump in the middle on the mob their alpha strike is going to be focused melee not ranged.

A few stragglers is really nothing to worry about if they run away from you and engage in range attacks. As a melee'er you are literally running in to absorb the alpha strike(Like tanks and brutes do), beyond that I mean again you would be better focusing on melee. Range attacks have s/l components as well. So again I'm just not seeing the point of having high defense in range but much lower in melee where you would be spending most of your time in melee range. As far as Ice Control defense capabilities you can also slot confuse sets in AA which can contribute more to your survivability.

I just curious as to what benefit does it have in melee as opposed to trying to soft cap melee defense?

So help me out here. Why are you trying to soft range defense if you're going to be in melee range?
