Hi team - I'd heard from a few folks that Illusion/Energy is one of the most damaging dom combos you can get, and I was always interested to try the Energy Focus mechanic of Energy on doms. That said, I'm having trouble coming up with a build -- I've heard varying suggstions on taking Force of Will pool for the single-target -RES (Weaken Resolve with the Achilles' -RES proc) and power-boosted (Power Up) Unleash Potential (which looks like 1 min uptime for 2 mins downtime at max recharge). I also can't decide whether to skip the Ice epic and Sleet (which I always thought was a must-have on doms) in order to go for Psi (I had a vote given for Link Minds again with Power Up's power boost) and the Res shield, or even Fire epic (for Res shield and Fireball). I also can't decide whether to just 4-slot Blind (with Basilisk for the recharge bonus) or to 6 slot it for proc damage. I put the Dom ATO +dmg proc into Total Focus as I figured it had a higher chance to proc there (vs. Blind) -- and that you could go TF->Whirling Hands and I think get the bonus damage from energy focus? I also can't seem to get Phant Army truly perma, but 65 secs vs. 60 duration seems like it would be OK. And I guess I'm OK with Whirling Hands being the only meaningful AOE given its relatively fast recharge and 15-radius on doms. I'm tempted to just leave all defense numbers around 18%-20% (with Weave and Superior Invis and the the +def procs) and then eat medium purples all the time to soft-cap ( or get team buffs). Pursuing higher defense via frozen armor or sets seems unnecessary. If the idea is to go balls-out damage with Energy on doms, how to get there? Anyway, here are some builds and I'd appreciate some suggestions/feedback. Dominator - Ill-Nrg-Ice_NoFrozPlusUnleash.mxd Dominator - Ill-Nrg-Ice_NoFroz.mxd Dominator - Ill-Nrg-Fire.mxd Dominator - Ill-Nrg-Psi-Unleash.mxd

Apparently you can shift-click on a slot and then put it somewhere else.. Still, I miss the draggging.

Has anyone figured out a better non-solo-y team-build for 4 stars (ITF, Aeons) for Rad/SS?

i too would love to see it. i can guess most from the screenshot but it would be great to see.

i leave the heal/mez clickie on auto so it fires automatically when you are mezzed or at the health % that it lets you use it. i just click hasten manually.

Updated to move the order around (Fold Space earlier, Hasten/Aim pushed out) and include +Rchrg proc in Force Bomb. Corruptor_-_Fire_Blast_-_Force_Field_-HMv2.mxd

Here's a version updated for new MIDS. Repulsion Bolt is 3-slotted for set bonus - not sure if the KB->KD is needed. Force Bomb seemed to do more damage with set slottted than procs, kept the -RES proc. No idea if 3rd LoTG is really adding much to Damping Bubble - apparently it ups the DDR but MIDS seems wonky in showing how much. Had to ditch PFF to fit in Repulsion Field - hope worth it. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1665;742;1484;HEX;| |78DA6595C94F137114C7BF6D67C096428142590AB2595A5A5A286E718B069444818| |488F1DA3474C0260DD30C25E2BFE1C593DBC998B846A3DEBD6A34EAC978D3C413E0| |82891ECCF83AAF8FFE2A93FC9ACFCC5B7E6FFBFD3AB77EDAFFFAD5EC29B8025385E| |CEA6A66CAB4ACB562C9B4F4B9EC727ED1037AEA6985770499F3D9956523979ACE5B| |4666928C4ADD55D9E4DAD2526ADAB4168DCC74DE28E4E09F37CD426AD6C816F32BC| |B3EE765A16818B956072F1805A3685AA56C296FAE0444356758AB97F2C5F099627E| |3155F5BD60AE153273B49F615DE9A490066945DDF4E3823CB6068CD2A7B40637920| |229060D6302E30C1BC3B5D684EDB4D25ED4A18D21E6563560EB2E4CB0B11FFB199A| |7040E01043330E0B7CF538B0493B79AA8E6C8F0711CD91B4222A106368C36786101| |55E57C273EB125E1B66D86F087F49D2AB618874EBD554EAD1A13BBA2174336C510C| |5E55C52BEE3A25DB41F2D2A0AA3420818A8A031A129459A352107AB9CBC946C838A| |01823804F2C29B7A44591E82DB8C7F177E3BEC003861E3C1478C4B0178F19BE5302| |41D54D103E5745A541C0CFD08F268180402343792EDA5537ED78C3490EE0ADC03B8| |1F79CF6103E08A439A91F144D875AAB0EE9DB109939D6E5C1EB5277EAC21136DE87| |A302C7048E330CE384C0A6DBE9ED4FDA29AC0C8F1EC61354549E3244F142E0B9C03| |3861199C16D72D3AB8E53AFF47FC4E98E03954188522FFB942EBBFAF091A38A4B53| |3D213A82AABB416AA2631C975989CBF4AC530411B51011A77494DB282638BA516C0| |BFC6248E2B7C01F862F7E20A6963C261B24052E9366A27A646D3D81EBDC9531DC10| |B829708B218DDB022779A716CA3FA5EE94925AA5D1CC1024957175DCC771B07C597| |A705673AE959C48EC1E0DEA633B1F6D1BB3DAAEFBC7CBC5AD433DC3BC567BFFD08B| |63BAE1AB35A595E4A26FEE96C458B2F59F8452DDE074F76040E0221F121FCE11D0D| |5F4ED3F230AEB9ABBA272556EC27E2EFECB38FF59EC243E13AFAD917D27488AAAC6| |3FD722C98C| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Solo i just stock up on Medium Purples and maybe some medium greens and use inspis liberally. DP/MC is already a mid-range (for dmg) blaster, and IMHO you give up too much slotting for set-bonues to try to self soft-cap S/L/N/E especially in light of recent changes. I'd much rather just buy medium purples cheap and use inpsis to get there, and have more damage and other effects in the powers. But this is a fundamental decision point you'll have to come to by youself. My Nemu-inspired Fire/Elec blaster still has soft-cap or close S/L/R and can fit in several procs and other powers. For DP/MC I went more ballsy.

I still can't seem to move the slots around from power to another power by dragging them?

Discord channel invite doesn't work. Also new mids doesn't let me drag Slots to other powers? Am I missing something basic on this? I used to be able to drag (empty) slots between powers.

I found I was having massive endurance issues without slotting Reaction Time for end, I tried it other ways first. Suppressive Fire is really proc-able for a number of reasons and due to its recharge time reliably triggers them, including the Build-Up proc (since you don't get Build Up as a power). It's generally my opener. I like the fast animation time a lot more than other attacks, Including Executioner's Shot.

It's more fun to follow up with Eagle's Claw which you hit as the enemy is slowly flying away....

One thing I'm wondering about is the declining price on once-high-value purples like Hecatomb, Apocalypse and Armageddon -- all of which have dropped, seemingly, into the 14-15MM range (maybe 16MM) in recent weeks. Just oversupply? Less demand? Armageddon used to reguarly fetch 17MM+. The same oversupply vs. demand seems to be going on in Reactive Defense and Numinas and even Unbreakable Guard, as well as various once-higher PVP IO.

I think this is what I rebuilt to a few months ago. Probably can choose different order of powers now. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1810;768;1536;HEX;| |78DA65944B4F135114C7FFD3990A2DCFDAD652DA822DA52D142AF50BF84212034D2| |AAC0D196D0393D4B6E923D10FE05E8DC6040AB8F001C6A531EEDDCA1730EE5D8126| |6A101FA9A773E6E26598A4EDEFFECF9973FFE7DCE9E4EECCF6EE7E58B808A5EF4A4| |9AFD7972FD377A358EBCE351B7AC3A8944157F7A58651D30B955A172D4256C6F2A2| |5E5E291632B34DBDB49C37EA8D4AA91E17B1A566B55AA9353239BDD630289ED3CB4| |6B559E28ABDF94AA5945928EA55A3BCD2672EE68C95D506AD0644A850ACD5578DAA| |DB5C2F558BC542E06AD5B895111BE49A54B3437783E4294D9FE1C18E5505D6D576D| |29706643538A00850190805680CA7E064188C1F2FA30279FA8D7552AE33746351C0| |128327DEB945DA5B41C2619673232920C5D08B0901930CFDB8C77086E6AB1E55A13| |22AFCB4CCBA2825A4B23DFCA548A4031FF9A6D3F824609E73C23409A754A61D21A1| |4BB6D78537DCAD0F6F05BC037B80C36981E56A089FB9AE83ECB994FF65E03253A8F| |F11DAA04736DE836198C687708DAB0C634AB520CB4A18B7150B5A949CA40E688C7D| |B2713F0903B2F101B4D8EF0836046C0AD862388BA702AC0E46C99E07923D0FB645C| |A2B86285E0BE8779A038E0AC363D8B58E87DC78E52EBD38D0AC949F020E19E2F825| |E0B7803F0C2A8DD12F9551FC08D032E24202E7794B0FA504A41447403C0809ECAB2| |624F18D73BD941B944EC519C433F69BC473012F1826F052C0B6801D8600351792B6| |44087BBC818F22113912C1058E4469AEA3F25C47B1C69149AC0B6809D86098C2A68| |02D068D3A88C9DDC644B753E86798869B214866C6E53318C77D1E6B028F18A6F140| |C0438673782C20CDDD761E879454464DE1BB6AA5FC60C8E240C021438C7CA6E5834| |B9B2F1E729515304629196922B4B0FE9D3E8ACCC891196E92A6A8C92F1C7AEAC31A| |E4AB6D8AED36166C89F47171F1BC260728A2F01D7B6ED29563FA34FFCDF74F46521| |CF9723212E5FEBF9E8C3CE1FDDF4FF23BF8A885792FE9B210F69120373917B0093B| |5E9BB01DB309BADB26DCB40B37ECC21A9DB353F6B16E175A76E11FD951E4D1| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Well here's a first pass based on a post in the Defender forum and a build in TFJ's discord (from Stitch) that was pre-patch. I don't think MIDS is updated so it was a bit of guesswork. Open to suggestions. I think you need Force Bolt and Repulsion Bomb to max your -RES powers, and I don't really know how the new Repulsion Field is supposed to be slotted. The self def and res numbers are a bit lower than I'd like, in part because I slotted for more dmg (or tried to) rather than set bonuses. Tactics vs. Assault was a debate but probably Tactics helps more on Hard Modes etc. If you want to spend another 600M+ you can 3-slot provacations into Fold Space. Not sure about Incarnate powers besides Clarion Radial for the synergy with Power Boost and the shields. For Alphas, saw one build with Cardiac Partial Core (assume for self Resistance and end-use) and another with Agility Core. Melee Hybrid perhaps vs. Assaut Hybrid for moar dmg.

Has anyone been able to come up with a good Gandalfy-wizard costume given the robe limitations? If you're feeling creative, would like to see a couple. Thanks! (Saw a toon briefly in Ouro on Excelsior called Physical Wizard that was a staff fighter with wizard staff and semi-decent look from afar, didn't get a good look)..

Last time I tried Fire/* there wasn't a reliable way to end the repel in the Blazing Blast power. Has that been fixed/addressed?

What toon do you feel tankmagey on? When I tried my Elec/Bio on test it didn't seem to be that big a change.

Looking for a post-patch Fire/FF build that takes advantage of power boost (epic) for the shields and anything else. Didn't have a chance to play with FF before or after patch, so could use some tips. Especially for a 50+ build that could potentially sub on hardmodes. Thx!

What kind of witchcraft is this? 😲Build? Chain?

Gotta be market manipulation, like what was happening in Yellows, as it started well before the patch went live yesterday. I expect the price of everything will continue to go up in short-term due to higher demand post patch (new toons), and restricted farming (lower supply) where people are having to rebuild / redesign to try to return to pre-patch speed and rewards. So in the short term the ebil marketer(s) will continue to win.

Balls-out damage build, like it! This build doesn't have the Crit % proc in Swoop tho .. did you sub it for one of the damage procs or the FF proc? Also - why Stealth / Infiltration / Phase Shift and Experimental Injection? Wouldn't you get more benefit out of Boxing/Tough/Weave and Maneuvers if you're looking for LotG mules and also to pick up some defense?

Do tell. recently it looks to me like manipulation is afoot in yellows and rares ..

Can anyone explain to me why someone in game was bragging about Knives of Artimis Lores (I think) being broken and doing crazy high dps once every X seconds?

I don't know the BA icons off hand, but it looks like maybe you slotted the +crit% ATO into Swoop and open with that, and then go into Ball Lightning and either Pendulum or Whirling Axe? If you can walk through your chain and any key build slottings (pre-MIDS, bummer) that would be most excellent, on both the BA and Bio sides. Thanks.
