When you are in tanking/pets-in-defense mode, the mastermind attacks are there to draw fire and to debuff/distract target so your minions can defeat them. Not if you are in tanking/pets-in-defense mode ... especially if you can heal your pets. If you use the basic mastermind attacks they are single target, Provoke = When you have established that a fight is absolutely necessary, you step up to take the lead, provoking the attention of several targets at a targeted location. Use this to pull the attention of your foes off of an ally in trouble. This provocation effect is not as powerful as similar powers used by Tankers, and also has a chance to miss. To pull an enemy to attack you while you are in tanking/pets-in-defense mode so your minions can jump on them ... all the while your minions are soaking some of the damage you take. It may seem that I'm pushing tanking/pets-in-defense mode. Yeah, I am. It seems to work for me when playing multiple types of masterminds.

I agree. Not like I get lots of spam saying ..... [Tell] The Consignment House is too busy to process your request. Please try again in a few moments.

I mean it's pretty clear when the "get all inf" button is grayed out that you can use it. Why do we have to be told that on all tabs? oh, wait, this thread is about convertering... sorry....

I use two trays set up to go through some of the combos Tray 1 - power slice - ablating strike - vengeful slice - sweeping strike - Follow - (a high damage power or debuff; a p2w until better available, could be from powerset, and could be a pool power) Combos : Attack vitals :: ablating strike - vengeful slice - sweeping strike Tray 2 - nimble slash - ablating strike - blinding feint - vengeful slice - follow - typhoons edge Combos Empower : nimble slash - ablating strike - blinding feint Weaken : nimble slash - ablating strike - typhoons edge The other slots in the trays I put in; a respite macro, tray flip, fast travel, normal travel I usually run though the sequence of each of them and repeat.

Wow. What kind of team are you on when you get in a rough spot when the entire team is about to go down every mob? The only one that I have ever seen that were that bad was one when the guy leading the team upped the difficulty up far too high for the team to be able to handle. And I mean one (1) team like that. I don't know who you are on teams with, but you might want to check out PUG'ing if your regular crew is almost having a complete team wipe every mob.

I'm going to try to be a bit more direct about my input on this. Yes. This is an "Oh, s***!" power. That is exactly what it was designed to be. Fire it off when things go south and run for it .... everyone on the team run for it! I know that most teams don't want to run for it. Often times using an "Oh, s***!" power can be enough to turn the tide and the team can overcome the enemy given the slight reprieve. They have a long recharge time because they aren't meant to be used all the time. They are there to be saved for that "Oh, s***!' moment. I understand that there are those that just want to bulldoze everything and experience no challenge. The difficulty settings have nothing to do with it. If you can rampage through +4/x8 mobs without a risk is no challenge. There is no excitement, there is only button mashing and destruction. These power can hit more and hold longer if they are slotted up. They can even be used faster if you slot recharges in them. But they aren't made to be used rapidly or as soon as they recharge. They aren't damage powers. They are "save your butt" powers. The best solution to not liking them is not putting them in your build. I believe that the do what they were intended to do when they are saved for the time that they are intended to be used. It helps if your team knows how to react when thing go south. Bull-in-the-china-shop aka Hulk Smash! is not the only tactic. Retreating to avoid defeat is just that. There is an ebb and flow in superheroic stories. Heroes overcome difficulties. They aren't always victorious. A true triumphant feeling occurs when you defeat something that you couldn't defeat before. These powers are based on that. Turn-the-tide or get-away. They are made to be used in that emergency situation intentionally. That is what they are for. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is genre relevant.

Very good! I really like this idea because it fits in to the theme so well. Clapping and cheering would be a thought as well, but dancing brings out a more musical theme/expression. I think it would work for the sleeps in the symphony sets as well.

Yep. That's exactly what Farming did to the AE.

A majority of the Mystic Fortunes are favorable like Secondary Mutation. However, there are negative mystic fortunes ... in the same way that secondary mutations' worst is the rikti monkey (which most of the time is pretty comical to me, to be honest). The list of powers granted by mystic fortune is here :: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Mystic_Fortune It's based on character conception to me (and/or I have not taken the time to visit the Gull to pick one way or the other, in which case I mostly deny it) Robots won't take it or accept it Science and tech characters for the most part won't take it or accept it. Mystic characters will take it and accept it. Most of my natural characters won't take it, but will accept it. If you want some extra flash when using it, use /e cardtrick Cast the mystic fortune before you throw the cards into the air.

Search for it it you want to take the time to do it. bye.

Honestly, did you just make an account to snipe at me?

I've been playing since about a week before issue 2 dropped. I can't remember if I made a dominator during villain beta or not, but I probably did. I know I made one of at least each villain AT when the villain side went live. So, back then, it was more about playing all the ATs. Since the Sunset, it hasn't been so much about playing all the ATs, but I've made one of all of them on Homecoming since being back other than a Warshade, Arachnos Soldier, and Arachnos Widow. I'm character conception player, so it's mainly about trying to get the powers that fit my character conception. So far that means out of 136 characters 13 are dominators, and one of those non-dominators characters would not have been made as a dominator if I knew that I could get the powers I was looking for out of the dominator set. But I have to throw in, I would really like to have Whip as a dominator secondary (1 melee single target, 1 ranged single target, and one cone melee are the whip powers already in the game).... ... maybe with 1 or 2 Dual Pistols powers (including Executioner's shot) with some Street Justice powers to round out the set?! (filling in the missing ranged and melee powers that come with most Dominator sets)

I don't know what level range you play in, but I have never experienced this. In my experience, teams don't need tanks. They never did. Teams don't even need melee characters. Teams don't even really need a healer. It really a matter of your playstyle and a willingness to adjust tactics based on the powers, slotting, and level of characters and the experience and skill of the player playing the characters. Do you slot it up? I do when I play a tank. You play a tank and are upset about the changes? I don't know. I'm guessing. Which is not a thing in City of Heroes even though people try to force it into that mold. It never was. It still isn't. Most tanks are solo minded even when on a team. I have honestly run into far too many tanks recently that not only don't have taunt but don't care about what is going on with the other players on the team. A tank is great when you can find a good one. It just hasn't been happening for me lately accept with close friends that know tanks have taunt and know how to use it to hold aggro ... which still can be done. I haven't had any problem holding agro and protecting my teammates when running my own tanks recently on 8 player PUGs. Honestly, I've been on plenty of teams lately with no melee and we had little or no problem with content. The changes don't appear to be an issue to me. Change level and playstyle dependent upon the composition and abilities of your team and your golden. I used to run with supergroup coalition that would run teams with just bubblers, just sonics, etc. and those teams did fine. I've run with all Symphony teams recently, and they did fine. But I agree that Trinity style gaming is very narrow minded. It gets forced into games by players even when the game didn't intend that to be a thing.

oh, no! I have to slot accuracy?! I slot 2 ACC in every power with a hit check unless I can generate that accuracy boost with IO Sets and contant to-hit buffs. Oh, no! I have to save a power until I really need it instead of burning it every time it recharges!? Uh, wait. You know that they to be held until they are really needed instead of being activated as soon as they recharge. /e face palm Uh, what other powers in a set have a chance of holding an entire mob? I think I missed taking those. Are those like the extra Khelian powers that you have to scroll down the primary list to see because they go off the bottom of the page?! I'm always missing those ...because I make Kheldians so rarely. Maybe slot them up if you want them to be useful? I hear that's a thing, but you know the internet. It might be silly to think slotting +accuracy or +holds into them would do anything to help how effective they are. How about we up END use so it completely deletes the your end bar and you can't gain any END for a minute or two when you use it? That might balance out the blatant overpowering of the power. ---- I'm going to stop. I just wanted to point out what I see as flaws in this without simply /jranger'ing it.

I know one main thing that people don't like about the process :: everything getting taken out of your tray and thrown back in. If a /respec could at least keep the macros in place in the trays, people wouldn't dislike it so much. For myself, I don't like respec-ing because I feel like the wrong move I make while leveling up are part of the uniqueness of the character. That isn't to say that I don't /respec sometimes. I think I have /respec'd 1-3 times since I've been on Homecoming. I usually don't play past level 50. I am pretty sure I haven't /respec'd any of the characters that I leveled to 50.

Oh, jump on me and then act like I'm jumping on you? ...by someone other than the OP, doesn't display what the OP was looking for. What is your problem? Okay. I'm over it.

Nope. It simply means that I don't want to have to put people on ignore, but now you are.

Yep. We disagree. No more comment needed on this. Yes. I think you are crazy to think that other people would think that "I'll join" in /lfg is some kind of sin. I think a majority of players know what that means and respond to it ... most certainly most of the people that I've gamed with ... people point it out to me when I'm recruiting and don't catch it fast enough because I'm doing other recruiting stuff. I see other people that I'm teaming with catch it and recruit the people. But do your own thing. As I said from the get go. I send tells. We disagree. I won't be responding to you in regard to this. I don't want to have to put you on ignore. This must be a sore topic for you for some reason, so just let it go.

Wow. They weren't the OP. I was responding to the OP, not someone replied to the OP.

Can you post any pictures of what you would like it to look like? I mean my suggestion of a tail that is an extension cord with a plug on the end is a pretty obvious visual, but how the tall would attach, size, etc. would be good to help in the design of the thing.
