Awesome, ty Cen! :D

Yeah, I can get that. To each their own. For me, I like how I can click Soaring Dragon outside of enemy range and then run past them and suddenly they get knocked up and cut. It's just like you see in samurai animes where the samurai runs past them and there's a delay before anyone realizes what just happened.

Need help with this build. One hit of Divine Avalanche puts you at 46% Melee def. Tried to get in a bit of ranged def and energy resists. Chime in for improvements.

Your thoughts on Katana animations are well on point. Katana's animations and sound effects are PERFECT. Very satisfying. Katana is BEAUTIFUL and LETHAL.

Can you post your build please?

Does anyone have a video of this build in action? Never played a Dom before but am leveling one that's Mind/Fire. Could use tips on how to play a Dom. I am used to playing controllers but not a Dom yet.

You all have made very good and eye-opening suggestions. Ty. So below is after making changes. Ranged def was well above soft cap so moved some of that over to recharge time bonus as well. Thoughts?

Ty for the awesome suggestions! Yes, this is a team build. Solo is too slow for my taste on controllers. If I want to solo I play a DPS focused AT. I'm overly focused on ranged def because AOEs generate lots of aggro and there are no heals. I just kept face planting on fast paced teams without tanks. So had to rethink the build.

Since these power sets offer no healing power, I prioritized ranged defense above all (~48%). With heat loss, end is not an issue and I believe it is the only power where you need to get closer to a baddie? Can pop in while flopping around due to earthquake and heat loss real quick. Recharge is not as high as I'd like but that can be fixed with incarnate powers. Chime in for improvements.

Found it! Ty. Do you know if I can log in on the test server while also logged in on the actual live servers?

Ice/Cold is fun. Though it depends on what you're aiming for. For me, I don't care to do dmg. If I want to solo or do DPS I'll go play a Blaster or Scrapper. Slowing things down and debuffing the F out of them is so fun with Ice/Cold. The animations and sounds are great too. Heat Loss is awesome!

Aside from the test server, never played Ice/Cold. Looking for improvement suggestions. According to mids melee def is 51% but it drops 10% during battle. So near soft-capped, I guess?

Can anyone suggest improvements? I'm horrible at builds. Been playing around on the test server. I'd like to cap melee def so I can have fun with Artic Air without face planting.

Is there a guide on logging into the test server?

Okay. Never played a Dom. I'm intrigued enough to consider rolling one. Ty.

Interesting. Is this "easily" done? Unlike trying to hold them.

Title says it all. Suggest me a build where I can lockdown AVs FAST and LONG. While being able to survive of course. Ty!

Rad/Bio...hmmm tell me more! Any builds you can refer me to? Or at least slotting advice?

Interesting. Is this still the case? Love scrappers and have more than I can afford to deck out but never tried an AoE focused one yet. Or are there better options for a cheap AoE scrapper? Just looking to make one where I can run ahead and jump in the middle of mobs in fast-paced end game team missions.

Playstyle/Goal: Super endgame debuffer. AVs/ TFs. What synergizes best with Cold? Ty!

Recommended slotting to make him very tanky?

Jist rolled Earth/Cold but I've been seeing posts about Earth/TA. Just as I build my tanks for pure tanking and no DPS focus, I like my controllers to be made for pure control. Never played /TA on a troller. Are you able to post your build please? Ty.

You guys make good points. Ty. And yeah. I've ALWAYS opened with Stalagmites. By the time the tank gets to the mob, all of em are stunned and looking retarded before being locked down further lol. Stalagmites > Stone Cages > EQ. Then whatever I feel like. By then aggro shifts to tanks and other DPS dealers. Usually. I've used that chain on many teams (Earth/Dark) without tanks on it to keep things moving along. If I see a second mob close by, I don't wait for the trigger happy blaster or pet aggro. I throw down tar patch and quick sand and then volcanic gasses.

Ah good point. Makes sense.

Is it not worth slotting Sleet and Infrigidate for Defense Debuff sets? Having issues with Mids so can't play with the numbers.
