    Lightning Rod + Shield Charge

    in Archetypes

    Posted

    So I've always wanted to try this combo, but never got around to it.  Today I had a concept that fit this but then it turned into a Stone/Shield Stalker instead.  So while I level that guy I thought I'd put the question to all of you:

     

    Which AT is your favorite to put this potent 'porting combo on?

    They don't.  You awarded yourself the badge one day and anyone who questions it gets a letter that tells them the exact date and time of their death signed by your future self

     

    Those that question again get a selfie of your future self standing over the questioner's corpse with a caption that reads, "Wish you weren't here!"

    I'm still shooketh this ball was thrown down a abyss. The people making content for this decades old game seem to be really understanding how important costumes are so I really had to scratch my head what was going on there.

     

    For me personally, even if Stone Armor had a taunt aura this oversight by itself would make me question rolling one. And Stone Armor is GOOD.

    You play MA/Stone so you can perform Eagle's Claw while in Granite form

    What the heck was I thinking? Build guidance please...

    Multistrike, Maelstrom's Fury and Detonation?  3 slot Aegis?

     

    You were clearly building wirh Fire Defense and Fire Resistance as your only priority.  I'd say cost as well but you 3 slotted Armageddon in Burn soooo....

     

    Bad news:  You probably shouldn't chase Fire Resistance, you should be able to cap that with just Fire Armor

     

    Good news:  Building for Fire Defense (on a Fire Farmer) is actually more viable now as Fire Attacks do -def, so stacking more defense is good.  The caveat to that is outside of Fire Farms fire def is nowhere near as helpful as Melee defense (for Brutes) and other positional defenses.

    Pet Defense - rank from best to worst please

    With Ninjas having lower resist values they tend to pair best with secondaries that buff their defense or debuff enemy to-hit.  Forcefield, Cold, Dark, Storm, Traps, Time, Rad, and Trick Arrow.

     

    *and Empathy, but that's definitely a lot of Fortitude spam

    Instead of searching for the sets in the search bar there's the categories in the main AH window.  You want Enhancements>IOs>Attuned IIRC

     

    It'll then list all the set types (Ranged, Taunt, Defense, etc) and each individual set under those.

     

    The Auction House automatically converts regular set IOs that are for sale into attuned IOs when you purchase this way, so when you put a bid in on an Attuned Force Feedback +Recharge IO you are bidding for the lowest price of all the FFR IOs listed no matter their level (which is nice as lower level IOs cost less to craft than level 50s and sellers are often willing to sell those for less)

    What role does a dominator play on a team?

    in Dominator

    Posted

    The original design of Dominators was from when you couldn't be a controller on Redside, Brutes were more fragile and had less aggro management than Tankers, and Stalkers were only critting from Hide.  So yes, they filled the role of keeping the Brute alive and supplemented the non-burst damage of Stalkers.  Definitely a support role first, damage AT second.

     

    These days?  Domination still gives you the strongest controls in the game, mez protection, and a free endurance refill.  I'd agree that it's a similar support role to the team tank.

    Power wise, my big wisdom would be to take at least one of the Invisibility powers.  Getting in range to drop Phantom Army or use your Confuse is important!  

     

    Confuse early, confuse often - get practiced at knowing the exact mob you want on your side.  Having extra bubbles and Accelerate Metabolism from a Rikti Guardian is great!  Your powers are Psychic damage so Confuse the guy *next* to the robot so he can deal the damage you can't!

    This was my main on Live.  Loved that character, but I have no desire to roll them again.

     

    Ill/FF doesn't have to be passive, but it can feel limited.  Flash (your PBAoE hold) will get you killed, so Phantom Army and Spectral Terror are your only real multi-target controls.  Blind is your only power that sets Containment (besides Flash) but you only have single target attacks anyway until Epic power pools and Incarnates, so that's okay.

     

    Basically your FF powers, Phantom Army, Spectral Terror, and Phantasm's Decoys will do great at keeping the team alive.  Your Dispersion Bubble will keep everyone un-mezzed (except for Sleep) which is fantastic.  But those are all Fire and Forget powers.  So to keep active you need to invest in your single target attack chain and/or grab more buffs/debuffs from power pools.

     

    The good news is Homecoming has much more choice in Power pools than Live did, so you're not limited to just Air Superiority as I was.
