Oh well only reading as having one stack for Sky Splitter counts as a negative certainly.

Dammit! Only unintentional bugs that have a negative affect need reported, the rest are features... 😝 See post above for reference:

On a separate note the change looks real good on paper. Will be fun to see how my staff stalker plays.

Okay good to know. Turning some aoe holds into location powers will make them feel clunky. Some sets could go for the added damage and mag provided by that. Glad it wasn't just a wholesale sweep to make aoe holds into target locations.

I was told that 'some' aoe holds along with having this adaptive recharge got a change to target location. All I can see though is Gravity got that change but it also got pulsing damage and mag. Is it only Grav that got that target location change to its aoe hold? Neat idea though

Oh I didn't catch they were location holds no I don't like that either, it takes away from the fluid feel. I understand they may be looking for ways to stack mag so I can see it from that angle. But yeah I'd prefer one shot as well especially if we're losing powerboost interaction.

I'm glad Plant is finally getting tuned. It was getting tired having controls set to a standard of two broken-ass powers. They'll just have to adapt and use more of their kit, like other control sets had to long ago. Seeds was warranted and seems to be where it should. I do hope in the future for control if any more aoe confuses get conjured up there is strong consideration for how powerful they could end up being. Honestly aoe confuses should be kept to a low number, they do feel unique. Creepers I didn't see coming too, hopefully the whole set was vetted now with these changes.

That's a lot of reading. I thought the super power I wanted was flight but it turns out super reading would be best. From a quick glance this all sound very cool. Adaptive Recharge on aoe holds is a real novel idea. I'll have a looksie at the sleep change and the new control set looks neat. Lots of goodies to poke through thanks.

That's a lotta insertions the servers are gonna need some ointment. There's a lot of baby oil about to hit the market again.... 🤪

Yes. I can see why you won kudos to the judges 😜

Oh I never said it couldn't be improved upon. Which is kind of the whole point of this thread. I wasn't boasting. People were asking for some credentials so they were given yet I dont see anyone elses... There's big differences in how you can play this game which is what I said in this topic and that "pure offense" thread for that quickie ST dps build I threw together to inspire naysayers. Point is for the entirety of the game you're limiting all that you can be by not building for defenses where its no real sacrifice to do so. Or you can build to punch pylons and even con enemies. Lots of ways to go about things here I think thats the draw to the game.

Hmm I've linked you sub 50s pylon builds to show I know a little bit about building in offense on a dom. Dont see u posted. I even offered to race your defenseless dommie in real game content but its crickets. Someone lacks courage of which they speak and I'm not sure its me. You like to chatter so I'll leave you to it. Anytime you wanna setup a playdate hit me up.

That was a quickie I threw together to show others surely doms can get sub 50s pylons. Its a show pony build JUST for pylons as stated here and in that thread. Less typing, more reading.

Yes I set the bar then others enhanced their build off of the Mace epic pool. I stopped to that Ill/Martial. It was neat to learn envenomed blades allows for proccing onto their pets.

Look I was content leaving it where it was earlier please stop cluttering the thread. Its put up or shut up time.

Comprehension isnt your thing. Obviously I have lots of different doms with 3 builds each. For gameplay where I need aoe I'll use what I'm in the mood to use. You didn't catch the caveat I said it was just against 1 specific target in mind to pump out as much ST dmg you can get? Offers still on the table though come see if you can outdom my main dom in +4x8 content, if you can...

I'm Mezmera this is my burner. The build is attached to the Illusion/Nrg/Mace 42s pylon.

I digress watching someone play through game content where tough enemies punch you back is the best gauge of someones ability and build. But just to show I know how to build in offense forsaking an optimal balance I've linked a topic of me punching on those poor defenseless pylons. My dom is that Illusion/Nrg with a 42s pylon time. So if all you want is offense I'd have a look in that topic for builds. And again thats just against 1 AV like target. This game has a multitude of ranges to play it as.

I offered to run my dommie through radios then we can test your dommies time so we can compare and contrast. But sure I'll concede here so this doesnt get dragged out anymore.

If I go to an all you can eat buffet I'm sacrificing a nice juicy filet mignon. People value 'sacrifices' differently.

Don't know how my main attacks I use frequently have a great balance of slotted damage/acc and procs. Plus my global recharge is in the right sweet spot. I think whats getting lost on you is that not every power you take do you need to cycle into use so the oppotunity to mule sets into those powers is better represented. If you're filtering things down there's no reason why you cant make the most of everything you can.

Well my epic aoe blast has 4 procs in it. I have Soul Drain so I'm bringing my very own kin. My aoe hold is proc'd decently. I can pack a group nice and tight with the new TK. Then my ST attacks will finish the bosses in the midst of that. Offense isn't gonna be a problem. Don't care much for those new Council boss rez auto damage but it is what it is.

I can do you one better I play on Excelsior I can give you a tour of some +4x8 radios. My Mind/Nrg dommie is well tested against 4stars and those old Linea AE missions.

Typically I never use my ST controls as damage and especially not if I'm looking to pump out real good damage. Your assault powers are far better suited to do damage if that's what you're wanting both in terms of internal numbers and proccability. If I'm using a ST control beyond the stuns I get from Total Focus its to stop a runner or something annoying me or an AV. That's not to say I don't put procs into longer recharging aoe controls where all those hold procs are far better suited to fire. Generally I pair real good defenses with my proc'd aoe hold as I jump into a mob that way I can go right to blasting and if the aoe control may have missed a target or two they're no real threat with good defenses running. For two slots extra in some controls you'd slot a purple set into anyways to at least 5 you can pick up 10% ranged defense from Ascendancy and Contagious. Then there's global resistance uniques yes. Also you're likely taking CJ, Stealth, Manuevers and some other defenses to let you slot your 5 Lotg's. I mean just right there that's 25-30% ranged defense at barely any extra cost so why not.
