Voltak

I posted my video of my earth/rad dominator. Water Spout fits concept with earth and the color options are exactly what I was looking for. So good choice, at least you can't go wrong. Water spout, like earth, also debuffs the defenses and provides control as well , and very good dmg.

Totally, good sir. Dark and Earth are absolutely great. This last earth video... see the whole thing. It's relatively short Cheers, and good luck and, most of all, enjoy the game. Welcome to Dominators !

All right, so I talked about Dark/Dark and provided some examples, game play videos for you to get a feel of scope. Here is a video about Earth Dominators doing extreme challenges and performing vs enemies who are extremely difficult to control The video also illustrates the high level of utility in these circumstances

(HD or 4K resolution still processing) Small 4 man team -- A very unusual and unconventional team to try and complete the Master ITF challenge under these very difficult settings with no inspirations, and with our goal to do it in under 60 minutes. This video highlights the strengths of earth/radiation Dominators to control enemies who are known to be almost immune to controls, and also to debuff defenses of those enemies after their defenses increased dramatically after the last game patch. It is important to note that Radiation secondary was not chosen for being the highest DPS, because it is not. It was chosen for the crucial utility we wanted under these circumstances. The scrapper and the widow in the team were the main damage dealers and specialized for this challenge under these conditions. Our job as dominators was to set up the enemies for the kill and debuff their defenses so the dmg specialists hit consistently enough for us to speed along.

You are very welcome. We wanted the video, but... operator error 🙂. Thank you so much 🙂

😂😂😂😜😜 Indeed, we are crazy. Well, when so much content of the game is easy, we try to make things difficult 🙂

Thank you, very much And I want to credit @EV for helping to put this together

Hey, Ditko Thanks a lot.

Howling Twilight is a monster regen debuff

All exempted down to lvl 44, so ZERO incarnates, and all inspirations DISABLED, no temps, no amplifiers, ZERO deaths. The enemies spawn from +4 to +6. The more difficult goal was doing it in under 30 minutes. This is extremely challenging and I encourage anyone seeking a challenge in the game to do this once in a while. It's a good break from most of the other content which is too easy. This will absolutely challenge teams and builds. Proceed with caution. The sad news is that I was going to hit the stop recording button for the video... ... then I realized nothing was recording. I had accidentally pressed the stop recording button long long before we got done, yep, about 4 minutes after we started. I could only grab the screen shot. Composition One Tank - Stone/SS Two stalkers Two defenders - @EV's Kinetic and my Dark/Radiation defender Two blasters One Fire/Dark controller - @Mid

I love the name... 100% Kudos Empathy is fast animation, kinetics is fast, time is not too bad.

Yeah, I believe that's the limit of what game exempts you down to. So, if you are 50, you get exempted down to lvl 16. When I said llv 16, I was referring to the exempted level the game places for that TF. I hope that clears it up.

My whole focus was exactly on that -- when soloing AVs, dominators and controllers need some of mitigation. But in this case I was referring to, since we began a discussion about perma holding, then I advocated to hit debuffs as great tools to use, my whole drive was towards having mitigation. So, it went from perma holding, to to hit debuffs, to the relation of defenses with to hit debuffs, all in the sakes of presenting important instruments needed when soloing AVs and the focus of the provoked aggro is you. That whole was the scope I was angling for. I am not looking for builds to solo AV. I have plenty experience soloing them and my Dark/Dark Dom has done a good chunk of it too, tested and proven. I would take a dark/dark over a dark/energy dom any day , every day. We weren't even discussing how to perma confuse an AV. The discussion I started about was directly in answer to the OP -- that controllers cannot perma hold an AV, only dominators can do that, and I elaborated on which one exactly has been tested/proven to do so in the tests conducted. I refer you to that post above if you want to see the numbers.

hahaha Yeah, having duo'd the ITF at master of settings ( also no inspirations, no temps) with many SR toons. I can testify that the only thing SR is fearful of is the cascade or lucky hits. But SR is nice because DDR is beautiful.

Another strong indication of why experienced Pylon testing should be voices to listen to. Things like these are matters that Mid's will not tell you anything about, nor city of data. Mids is not accounting for procs in pylon testing since when they go off is something that Mid's simply is not a good instrument to predict or measure any of it. The OP post of his times, his original post, should be no indication of how well the combo sets perform. There are many factors that will have to change or improve. Thanks, Linea.

Yes this is without temps, without AMPS, without base buffs, without daggers. I have done it

In the case of using a Dominator with possess or confuse, when you get to part 4 and face Rommy - You possess or confuse Rommy , have him killed the nictus, and he does kill them relatively easy. He hits extremely hard.

Psyonico Let's recap a bit here. (Oh, and very nice to see that build I made for you, you made some minor changes, but otherwise kept it the way I made it for you -- "I made a couple of minor changes to your build, Voltak, (illusion / storm ) but keeping it the same for the most part (now I just need to hit 50 and also get a boatload more inf :P) " -- from the Repeat Offenders forum. Your first response in your argument was saying that you solo'd AVs without being soft cap'd at your defenses To which I responded that I was talking about 54s and I was indeed talking about to hit debuffs being a great tool vs AVs and how it compliments even on builds that don't have cap'd defenses (as I said in other posts). Yet, even in this case illusion has taunt bots. Your response to that ? Posting a video NOT of the illusion/dark, but posting a video of an illusion storm. Thus the discussion was about defenses and to hit debuffs Then you moved the focus on an illusion/storm , but, again, Illusion has Phantom army who have a very strong taunt aura to them, so there's no focus on you, and your defenses nor your to hit debuffs are being tested at all. So again, my advice is important and relevant to those trying to solo AVs BUT WHO HAVE the aggro on themselves. ___________________________ Yet it's important to go back to what I said, what I actually said. I never ever stated that you cannot solo an AV +4 without defenses at cap. "...and no one is soloing AVs, in the case of AVs at lvl 50+, with difficulty settings of +4, unless they are IO'd and with defenses at soft cap, or without having To Hit debuffs. " - "I am cap, so all those to hit debuffs are great additions. " "We should not take anything away from them. They are great vs those AVs . " Then I also stated after that the following -- "When to hit debuffs are there, you get benefit plenty from them so that you don't need to be at soft capOtherwise, without those to hit debuffs, most likely you will be at soft cap, and my focus was on +4 AVs. " The idea is clear, Psy, it is obviously being implied -->> AVs at 54 will require some form of mitigation - either defenses at cap OR some way to mitigate the incoming offense , so that's why I mentioned the to hit debuffs. But you can and you should include here that an AV that is not focused on you will not require you to have cap defenses. That's obvious.

Yes, Dark/Dark But in the two videos above, That's Dark/Dark/Psy

1. This is an Illusion / Controller Taunt is a huge help. A very important example of what I am saying is right at the beginning of your video. You just about got killed within seconds of starting the fight. You got saved because Phantom Army saved you with their taunt. This is more important than a to hit debuff. If the AV is locked on you, then what I said stands. I have some very extensive experience soloing AVs, soloing AVs while their Focus of ago is on me. Even on a dominator, where I can confuse the AV, at some point that confuse or hold is going to break and the Aggro will be on me, the one exception was the ITF where Imperious took a good chunk of Aggro for my Dom in part 4. Other than that, what I said stands and is not being refuted, my brother. So If the AV is not locked in on you, then what I said is not an important factor. So, in your video, neither defenses nor to hit debuffs mattered because you biggest defense was indeed a very strong taunt bot - Phantom Army So your statement that defense don't need to be at cap or near cap is NOT helping players who play without a taunt bot like Phantom Army or Stoney. In those cases, without taunt bot, my advice is important, not yours ( I said this respecfully ). Because the brunt of the aggro will be on you, not any pets.

You are very welcome. Check it out for yourself 1) 54s x 8 Map full of Carnies solo - NO inspirations used. 2) Vs a lvl 54 AV - also a Carnies AV solo

Hehe, well, part 2 solo under these conditions bring plenty of scares to all ATs except tanks and brutes. I was relatively fine, since I knew where the dmg was coming from, and I have two back ups, the Lore Guardian being one, the other being Demonic Aura, rebirth was still in effect but even just running away was all right. Running away is the first thing you should do if you don't know where the dmg is coming from in this case. Don't stay there trying to figure it out forever. Just leave. The critical issue is to be aware of what exactly is hitting you. As my character has such high defenses, it is not going to be everything that's hitting you, only one or a couple. No amount of self healing is is going to make up for not being aware where the dmg is coming from, and if it s a bright nova and you don't know, soon everyone will be hitting you and very hard. Unrelenting would not be good for these challenges. It takes up too many power choices and it takes a pool power pick and we only get 4. I am not going to sacrifice the secondary leadership pool Not going to give up Hasten Not going to give up the fighting pool not going to give up the flight pool

Check the Defender forums again. I posted one video of Lvl 16 Dark/Radiation defender vs an AV.

Level 16, just for the fun and the adventure. Let's see what this power combination can do vs an ArchVillain. Blue inspirations were used.

Please go back up and read again my post. As I said some posts after that, I explained in more detail.
