Paragon Prolapser - Dominator (Gravity Control - Arsenal Assault).mbd You don't have to theme as wrongly as I did. 😉 Enjoy

I build on the test server this morning and it's a little bleeding edge style game play. Ended up doing Elec/Fire/Mu. The Mu AOE immob helps a lot. I may add chance to immob where I can before I get a proper Immob power, 35 feels like a long time to wait. Def/Res wise I was able to easily cap fire/cold and got to 50% or so for the rest. Not what I'm used to but...it definitely kicks out a lot of damage a d end drain. I took both consume and short circuit so I always have that "blue me" button handy. I may tweak healing flames to recharge faster by mixing sets. Right now I six slotted it for Panacea. I suspect it will team wonderfully and feel less edgy than soloing, but I always test everything to taste with soloing first. Once I get it rolling it might be another favorite.

Good idea

I looked but don't see anyone doing this particular build? Anyone have advice on balancing def, dmg, end drain and recharge? By level 4 it's possible to have Molten Embrace and Assault. By 20 something you can pick Short Circuit and Consume back to back. This all seems stacked for ridiculous damage and end management, but the def is not easy to balance in with that. Eating reds and purples like candy will work, sure... But I'd love to hit ranged cap without needing purples. As it stands all my defenses in mids show 13-20 something.

Up and coming @wednesdaywoe deserves a shout for her YouTube content and build showcasing. @Rexer for running solid sgs on multiple servers and fostering great PUGs @rtypeninja for being a great build tester and community member.

My Time/DP defender is one of my most survivable, hard hitting characters. I even have multiple builds. Damage, Holds, and Slows

I rather like my Ill/arsenal dom. It's not super tanky yet but it is fun.

Whatever primary you choose, /Energy Manipulation and Mace's Power Boost are great. Bazooka Tooth, my main on live, was an AR/Energy blaster, and I have the same thing fully built out on Excel. Why Power Boost? It boosts your defense too, and it's easy to perma. AR is pretty great. Widen those cones!

Coming back to this...I'm 42 and thought I'd share a build. I have mids on mac, so I can't get an html export so this combo will have to work. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, but suggestions to add another attack (Spring attack might work) or increase def would be nice.

Hello all, Thanks for your feedback and advice. I will be at 43% when I finish my melee def bonuses. I will supplement purples and keep Barrier rolling when it's up. I think the choice to only take purple and red insps is not a bad idea. Yes on a team, with maneuvers, it's often no problem. nullify is pretty decent as a combat heal. Overall I didn't take much in the way of team support though.

Just tried this... I can only get 39.1% with the exact slotting you showed, plus some more...and now I see why. I don't take Spirit Drain.

I rolled ice/pain but now you have me wondering what AR/Pain does damage wise.

So build lions for defense and put them in bodyguard, while the wolves are in aggressive mode? Sounds fun. I know oppressive gloom is not that effective end game wise, but general gameplay it's pretty fun and useful. I find myself teetering back and forth from the edge of defeat, but my pets seem solid enough that I don't have to recast them often. If I do, I bit off way more than I can chew. Which is also fun. I think if I had another friend running Oppressive and Pain Dom it might be really great.

@Snarky, you may want to have a look at this one

We can agree to disagree, as a ten year Adept in the Temple of Set, and practicing Animist in Southeast Asia...I assure you I know my stuff too. 👹

You exited the message early. What's wrong with you?

The one I hated but tried so hard to love was Dark/Savage Dom. The concept is cool but it fails hard. At least for me.

I ran kin/energy on live all the way to 50. Pinball Wizard. I definitely disagree... But my Kin now is a Kin/Water Blast. Silver Tsoonami

That's like... Your opinion...heavily so

I would also love some opinions on Fighting Pool for MM's. Specifically the damage from having Kick+Boxing+Crosspunch. I use Crosspunch a lot. And I use the others too. The idea is I'm a melee toon with pets. But, I could save a power pick and slot those 4 kinetic combats into Brawl instead. If the damage scaling isn't that noticable on an MM then I could manage picking something else instead of both boxing and kick.

Thanks, moving Panacea proc to Suppress Pain is easy enough to do, and frees up a slot for that end/rech. You gave me back two slots to put elsewhere.

I mean this would be a fun team. A minmaxed sentinel and a petless MM? Just add a hideless stalker, and an all melee blaster and you're good to go

Literally read this thread to laugh at Diantiane... because I'll never, ever take them seriously or care otherwise.

So I built a fairly sturdy MM on the test server with Beasts/Pain/Dark. I also focused on the Fighting pool, taking the whole pool. The idea is that Oppressive Gloom lends me the space to do melee and buff/debuff. I don't have a decent way to export mids but... - I can get one purple insp away from overcapping defense. - pets seem sturdy and deal enough damage for me to be happy. I'm looking for specific Pain tricks because this is the first time I've been genuinely interested in the set. Thanks!

I had one of those same builds, and boy, was it the opposite of relaxing. I couldn't enjoy it. It got recycled.
