  1. Twisted Sister was very much on my mind with that title. I ditched the Storm/Martial because I wasn't loving Storm Blast. That character has been reborn as Electric/Electric. And now I'm going to take the Psychic/Martial challenge as well. I'll play both through the Posi TFs and see which one grabs my fancy more!
  2. Ton of great info and suggestions here! Does /energy's Power Boost work well with Electric/ end drains to work as a sapper? That's very tempting. I love all of the fire options (my first ever blaster to 50 was fire/ice/fire) but it doesn't really fit the character I'm thinking of. Thematically, I'm kind of whittling it down to primary of Electrical Blast or Energy Blast. Secondary thinking Martial, Energy, or Electricity.
  3. I was considering /energy as well. I have a EM stalker that I love and it shares a lot of the melee attacks. Also considering electric/martial, and electric/electric. Too many possibilities, not enough time...
  4. Thank you, that build looks fun (and expensive!) Does Storm Kick proc reliably with its short recharge?
  5. I'm tired of tanks and scrappers and sentinels and their cowardly armor and mez resistance. I want to live life on the edge. I want to earn debt badges. I want to blap! My previous 50 blasters were all ranged, hover style. Can anybody recommend a good primary/secondary combo with lots of good blaps? I just started Storm/Martial because that seemed promising. Any thoughts? This will be for leveling (mostly through TFs), so if you've got a build that's fun from level 1 on, that would be great too!
  6. I made a beam rifle/invulnerability sentinel, huge body style, dressed up with various heavy/tech armor pieces with the flames style. He's named Hot Rodder. I think he was my first 50 on homecoming.
  7. Thank you for the feedback! I'll have to mess around with procs in Chain Fences to see if that makes it feel any more valuable. Where's the best spot to slot the Ascendancy of the Dominator set? As far as I can tell, I can only put that into primary powers. Maybe that could make Chain Fences or Jolting Chain a decent power use? It looks like the Dominating Grasp set doesn't have real useful bonuses. But would it's proc help out my damage as an Elec/Elec? With a different damage type, if nothing else?
  8. Hi all, After many, many tries, I finally have a dominator that I enjoy playing - elec/elec/mu. I'm at level 36 so far (which is the highest I've ever gotten a dom.) I'm still muddling through trying to find the best attack strategies, both solo and on task forces/strike forces. Solo, I build up & snipe the most troublesome enemy, then drop Static Field and/or Synaptic Overload to create chaos. Then it's Zapp/Thunderstrike/Havoc Punch/Static Discharge etc. until the Gremlins have finished everything off. I have found the damage to be decent single-target, but lousy AOE (hopefully Ball Lightning will help once I've unlocked and slotted it.) Solo, it's very survivable but slow going at +2/x2, even without perma-Dom. On teams, I get crushed if I do anything other than my two AOE controls (Static & Synaptic) or single-target ranged attacks. So I've got (too many) questions: -Is Jolting Chain worth anything? The damage was terrible, knockdown undependable, so I dropped it. -What's the best use of Chain Fences? I find myself rarely using it. -Is Voltaic Sentinel worth the power pick and slots? I'm very much on the fence so far. -Sapping is pretty effective solo, even with just a single EndMod IO in Conductive Aura. Is that going to continue to be useful? -And what in the world do I do to contribute on teams/Task Forces? Static and Synaptic are great solo, but don't seem to add much on teams. And I'm too squishy to dive into big packs for melee... so I feel like a kinda crappy blaster. Thanks in advance!
  9. Thanks for all of the feedback. So many great suggestions... maybe too many, so I finally just decided to make one of each and run with it. Controller: Plant/Rad - DDT Dom: Plant/Earth - Institutionalized Maybe we'll run into each other on Everlasting!
  10. The problem for me is after leveling a character to 50, I'm usually kind of done with them. I've got 12 or so 50's, and I've only taken two of them all the way to T4 across the board... and I only play one of those regularly. Thanks for the tip on Plant/Storm... I've heard good things before. Any thoughts on what might lend itself well to exclusively teaming on task forces?
  11. Hey all, I've teamed with a few Plant/ folks over the last couple weeks, and they seem like a ton of chaotic fun. Once there was a plant troller and dom... the seeds and creepers were glorious. So I've got a name reserved and a concept... but I don't know which AT, and what secondary to pair with it. This will be exclusively for teaming/task forces, and built for leveling - I don't like to power level, and I generally stop at 50, so incarnates/purples will likely not ever be a factor. My initial feeling is Plant/Rad controller... but I'm no expert. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
  12. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to give a Savage/EA scrapper a shot. I've done both sets (separately) on stalkers and liked them both.
  13. 1. Fortunata. Just made another post about this, but I love the jack-of-all-trades-ness of Forts. Like a dom, stalker and sentinel all rolled into one. 2. Energy/Energy stalker. Just absurd single-target damage. 3. Fire/Ice blaster. Great all-around damage and nice utility from /Ice to keep you safe (for a blaster.) 4. Super Strength/Invuln brute. Fury + Rage + Knockout Blow + Foot Stomp, 'nuff said. 5. Grav/Time controller. This is a cheat, since I'm just now leveling one for the first time. But Propel and Wormhole are both a ton of fun.
  14. Like the title says... I just love my Fortunata. Control, good damage (melee and ranged), a nuke, stealth, defense, mez resist, team utility... they just do so many things well! With the next round of updates in the works, I already know I'll level another one, just to enjoy the ride again. But in the meantime, can you suggest an AT & set pairing that has similar versatility? And I mean the whole leveling way... not just "once you're T4'd and purpled out the wazoo." Thanks COH peeps!
  15. I'll second the Energy Melee vote. I have a EM/Energy Aura stalker that just rules. Once you get good recharge going, it crushes single targets. Build Up + Total Focus (auto crit) + fast Energy Transfer + Energy Punch + Assassin Strike (auto crit) + fast ET = dead Elite Boss in 6 clicks.
