I feel like how some archetypes have Critical Hits, Super Reflexes should induce Critical Misses where the attacker opens itself up to a retaliation strike. Basically, if someone swings on a Super Reflex character and a "reverse crit" is rolled, the Super Reflex character should have X seconds to counter strike with proc damage.

I have no idea where this sits on the scale of difficulty or priorities, but since full pet customization isn't a likely option in the forseeable future, it would be cool if we had an option where at least the owner's aura is copied to the pet, so you could get flaming ice people and stormy imps. Again, like with the Phantom Army it would be even cooler yet if it copied it out of a designated costume slot instead of from the owner, but I'd still take this.

Power Boost was in the game for about 8 years before Time showed up. It's a good power and will always be fine. I'd even keep it on my Dark/Time and Ice/Time Controllers because of all the other stuff it boosts. The fact that it boosts Farsight to the point it doubles the value of most Defense armor sets is where it just goes off the rails.

I don't understand why customizable pets would require more costume policing than the existing costume creator. It also doesn't bother me if only some sets can be customized. They already spent the time to create customizable Phantom Armies, and IMO it's an incredibly cool feature.

I would go with Cold/Beam Rifle, though to be honest Cold takes a lot of IO work to make good, and (IMO) any time you stray outside the sets with a self heal it requires justification. Radiation/Beam might be easier despite not matching Cold in top performance -Resist stripping. Thermal/Beam can be a surprisingly good single target debuffer as well, although it is primarily a team buffing set.

What I would suggest for a Support/Melee class is to use the melee set normally used by Stalkers but replace Placate with the equivalent/adjacent pet from a Control or Mastermind set. Thus, your hybrid class has a "companion" and is significantly different from either Defender/Corruptor or the other melee classes. It would also be the first time most of the Mastermind pets made an appearance outside that AT. For example: Street Justice >> Thug Electric Melee >> Gremlins Fire Melee >> Imps Ice Melee >> Jack Frost Earth Melee >> Stoney Savage Melee >> Dire Wolf Dark Melee >> Lich (you could do the Shadow Hound but conceptually I like Lich better) Energy Melee >> Singularity Katana >> Ninja etc. On other melees, companions aren't too useful. But this proposed melee class is an Empath, Force Fielder, or whatever and well situated to pair off with a companion. The concept of companions is used in Dungeons and Dragons in classes like the Ranger. I realize this departs from the original suggestion, but I have long thought this arrangement would work well for a melee support character.

This isn't a bad idea overall. I admit I didn't read deep into the specifics. I do think the reason Support/Melee keeps being suggested by various posters is because there is a lot of player interest in it. It's basically the Cleric/Paladin archetype from D&D, largely missing in CoX. I'd be very interested to see whether the Storm Summoning set would make an appearance on this archetype and what sorts of changes would be made to accommodate it. Traps would be interesting as well.

Either probably works well. The various Fears in Storm though personally kind of annoy me on any character without an AoE immobilize, so I'd probably lean Radiation.

As for slotting, slot him with KB to KDs, then use Wormhole (also with KB to KD) to summon enemies right on top of him. They'll bounce helplessly in place, plus they'll often aggro Singy when they wake up from the stun instead of you, and he's got the HP and resistance to survive it.

Singularity is the strongest pet in the game IMO. Masterminds wish they got Singularity as a pet. He was also recently buffed, so he does (and sets) Impact damage too with his controls.

Despite having damage powers in their secondary set, generally speaking Dominator damage is not very high. This can lead to endurance problems, yes.

So after all the negative things I've said about Gravity Control on Doms I went on a mission to find a combo that would bypass most of the known issues with the set. I came up with a proposed Grav/Psi/Psi build which IMO is not bad. Full disclosure that I did not actually check DPAs. In theory, this build would be able to take advantage of the non-notify aspect of Wormhole to warp enemies to a trap zone where Drain Psyche can be used at point blank range. Then, the Dom can unleash Psychic Shockwave and Psinado, followed by single target on the bosses. The normally poor single target damage of Psi is offset by Lift and Propel. This build would skip the majority of attacks in the Assault set, favoring only the ones that provide very high damage. Unknown because I didn't check DPA and the value of Impact: whether I can also skip Mind Probe. The build is one Purple inspiration away from soft capped Melee and Ranged defense, with +108% Recharge before Hasten. One annoyance: you can't actually teleport +4 bosses with Wormhole. Just because of how the game is designed. But maybe one day. Feedback, comments, or alternate builds welcome.

The somewhat irritating thing about Dominator ATOs is they are designed for powers that are controls but not attacks. Where Scrappers, Blasters, and even Defenders got ATOs they can slot in their blasts and punches, Dominators are stuck trying to shoehorn the ATOs into the small number of powers that are both a) Controls and b) do not need Damage slotting. For most Dominators this turns out to be no more than about 2 powers--usually the AoE Hold and one other power. And for a lot of those other powers, better slotting is available. This is in contrast to the better designed (IMO) ATOs for Defenders and Corruptors, where the ATO applies to their blast powers and there are multiple options on how to slot them. The ATOs for Dominators can't be slotted in most Assault powers, and where they can be, you'd need damage slotting so wouldn't want to. Lately I've been 6-slotting the single target Hold with the ATO that provides +5 Ranged Defense at 6 slots and the damage proc. But this is a choice made under duress. That power would be better slotted as an attack than a Control. There just aren't other available options for most Dominators on where to put 6 slots of this set for the bonuses. You could of course frankenslot and just grab the proc, but you're missing out on the +5 Ranged defense for 6 slotting. Only one other IO set (Coercive Persuasion, the Purple Confuse set) gives +5 Ranged defense (as well as +10 Recharge at 5 slots).

Dark/Time has the "problem" that pretty much all the powers are good. To the extent this is actually a problem. 🙂 Overall I'd say the biggest limitation is lagging single target damage. But that's a given with almost any Controller primary except Gravity. My particular build doesnt help matters with skipping Power Blast, but its a sacrifice I was willing to make.

Put damage procs in Jolting Chain. It's going to still be low damage until Tornado though. You can help yourself a little with blasts from the Force of Will pool.

I think I do have it on live. Stamina isn't a big concern for me on this character, because he's a perma dom with Drain Psyche and Power Sink, so his blue bar is constantly refilling.

But why does Energy Aura not have an option to turn off the "hidden costume" thing? Dark Armor used to have this feature as well and it got the option. That's the main thing keeping me from playing it. I just really dislike costume-hiding sets.

I would never skip the AoE hold on a Dominator once they get to perma. On a Controller, maybe. But a Mag 6 Hold is too useful to bypass. I save it as a backup when things start to go south. If you have a Dom where things never go south, I feel like you aren't pushing yourself enough. But that may just be me. No matter how under control you tend to keep things, eventually one of your pets will go Leeroy Jenkins on an adjacent group just as Drain Psyche slips and Hasten auto recasts and your HP starts to drop. That's what your AoE hold is for. Plus using it occasionally will keep your pets from dying less, so there's that.

IMO skip Fire, Energy, Savage, or Radiation. Each has an in-set extra mechanic that forces you into using the Assault powers offensively, but the whole point of Gravity is getting extra damage from Impact + Propel or Lift. If they ever fix Doms so that Impact affects Assault powers these sets would be very attractive though. I would go with Martial, Psi, or Earth because you can grab the AoEs or useful secondary effects from them and their base single target damage isn't great. Dark Assault might work too if you want it for the self heal. Wormhole into Caltrops or Drain Psyche are excellent tactics. EDIT: That said, Energy may work if you basically limit your powers to Power Up, Total Focus and Whirling Hands. Skipping half or more of the Assault set powers is pretty routine so I guess it could work.

The power needs Heal, Accuracy, and Recharge slotting. Any combo of IOs that provide those will work well. The exact ones you need depend on the rest of the build and how much global Recharge and Accuracy you have. Below is the slotting I currently use on my Elec/Psi Dom:

So I did my best to make my own FF/Elec Defender build of my own. I'm no expert on Electric Blast so take this with a grain of salt. Its capped to basically everything, keeps the team shields, adds a pet, and Power Boost to make elec drains and shields more substantial. This build also adds Aid Self, which IMO a Force Fielder should always take. Just toggle on PFF, cast it, untoggle. I used Agility Core Paragon as the Alpha slot.

Taboo is probably referring to the lack of Insulation Shield and underslotted Deflection Shield. I admit the build hits some impressive numbers, although to be honest, seeing what it gives up to get there, I feel like the player would have been happier rolling Traps, which has a higher base Defense in in its big bubble.

I challenged myself to do a Nature / Assault Rifle build. I've played Nature to50a few times, but I dont know anything about Assault Rifle. How is this looking? Skipped Flamethrower since it looks like anim is very long (is this a mistake to skip?)

I struggled to make this combo work, but after plugging with a few different variations found what I think is a very strong combination that should have no trouble mixing it up in melee. This build assumes you take the Agility Core Paragon Alpha slot. It features nearly capped Ranged defense, an endurance bar refill + enemy drain in Power Sink, close to capped S/L resist, 66% energy resist, 29-33% resist to all others. Overgrowth is 10 seconds from perma, more or less perma if you are spamming Jolting Chain with the Recharge proc. The Mu pet is about 15 seconds from perma, same as above. 93% Endurance Redux most of the time, with Power Sink to replinish the bar means you can get by with no additional endurance support, so no extra slots needed in Stamina. Weaknesses: single target damage is very low. Tried to compensate with Electric fence. Just dont expect to solo AVs or even bosses easily. I skipped Spore Cloud for Hover mainly because with so many powers available, it is rarely cast. But you can take it if you find it useful. It does have some minor -Regen useful for AVs. This build also lacks mezz protection, so I'd take Clarion.
