for the Hybrid I always go for the one that does double dmg In the end you will do more dmg than the other option Kins are everywhere and they will nullify the other option Pyro is very good and so is ION

Dark Dominator is ultra strong. It has a very high ceiling of difficult things to do. Excellent damage in the following combo dark/dark but certainly not the only combo it can work well with Illusion Dominator is another very good one, and I have no doubt it might have as high of a ceiling as Dark control ; perma phantom army is just too good. Illusion/Dark illusion/Psi Illusion/Radiation Have high dmg with good self sustain

The build I posted was made before the game changes, so do not think the powers in the build (MIDS) is a reflection of things as they really are.

NO question, no doubt that you have something toggled on, which should not be on. Those numbers are no where near realistic

What matters is the range defense numbers, the recharge, the HPs, and the dmg resists. If those are as good or better than mine, then go for it. Range defense is king

I took a screen shot of a build I have currently on one of my corruptors that has Elec as the blast set. This is an efficient but still very economic build. You can use this and adapt it for yourself for Elec blast set on your corruptor

Reactive -- I have both -- Degen and the one that gives resistance debuff. Both are extremely useful Destiny -- Barrier (now I have both, with Rez and without Rez) Alpha - End Modifier, Defense, recharge B P -- for the Lore , because of the greater resistance debuff to cold damage

Easy stuff, 1. Drop field of shadows 2. Get haunt 3. 5 slots of exp enforcement into haunt 4. Add one slot and Put the BUILD UP Proc into Umbral beast

Responding to my inbox, and I meant to do this a LOOONG time ago but 1) Busy 2) Mids on my Mac was out of commission 3) Further problems with new OS for Mac issues 4) Real life issues, so more busy Here, and finally Ok, so build has been tested and it passed the hard mode tests TWO (2) Star ITF , 3 man team Two (2) Star AEON, 3 man team Four Star ITF in UNDER 30 mins Three man team Market Crash , no insps, no temps, no deaths Two-Man (2) team MASTER ITF (no incarnates), no insps, no deaths, no temps NOtes -- this build is meant to be for a bit of self sufficiency , meaning, I placed enough range defenses, resists, and recharge, to be able to not rely so much on the buffs from others if there are any gaps or downtime or team splits and other contingencies. Also meant for very small teams where you don't enjoy many buffs at all. You can use this to solo the general content of the game There are other builds with tons more procs and way more offensive and less defensive , but that's counting vastly on the team to hold you up, or they are for specialized team make ups. I am not including those here. https://www.midsreborn.com/builds/download.php?uc=1415&c=683&a=1366&f=HEX&dc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

No, in the entire game for Control Primaries Controllers and Dominators have primary controls, not just dominators With Domination up, dominators can usually one shot control bosses, and no one else can do that as fast as a Dominator with any control power from primary control sets Blasters don't have any single one power which can one shot hold a boss as fast as a dominator. Heck, even controllers have a chance to critical hit with a control and one shot control bosses with a hold as well. Anyway, this was written only for clarification if anyone indeed had trouble understanding the intent.

Ah, yes, electric control, I think it is underrated. This sleep is the best sleep in the game. The endurance drain in it is marvelous. You can be mid mob, doing all melee, slept targets, drained targets, and SMASH AWAY with Earth assault , the true SMASH set for Dominators.

Dark control has a super nice PBAoE Stun that is also a nice place for procs, it can be used as a proc AoE bomb. Since it is PBAoE, you can feel at home at melee range. You also have some nice selection of pets to help you out dish some DMG and they also debuff the targets. If you decide to use the AoE hold as well, it works like a charm. Cast it and whoever is in that area is held, not a matter of chance or anything like that. If they are in it, they are held, unless they are under some form of mez protection of high enough magnitude , but that's very rare below EB levels. Dark control is an S tier control set It has the BEST LOOKING confuse power in the game, POSSESSION ! __________________________ Another set to consider is Illusion Illusion is a phenomenal control set A very nice AoE stun , some magnificent pets for extra dmg , and you can make phantom army perma with enough recharge The AoE fear, a confuse ... it's also an S tier control set

So it is the fastest along with Dominate. My memory did not fail me. Good City of Data had cast time faster than Dominate , at 1.07 vs Dominate 1.1 The issue is that the Cast Arcana time, they are both tied for the fastest in the game 1.32

If I am not mistaken, it is actually the fastest cast hold in the entire game.

You are very welcome.

I think it is the first time it has ever been done, without inspirations and without temp powers, by a defender, at least verifiably. I have both currently, but Talons, I started with the healer first. But you can go that way or Longbow (with the healer and heavy) or you can go Bnsh Panth. Yes, VOID radial, Clarion Radial, support hybrid (for endurance discount and a tiny leadership stuff for bonus). You dont have to go hybrid support. You can also go assault radial. If you running ageless or Cardiac

What are you talking about? Come here to talk about how one dom has an advantage over another when soloing an AV , but you talk without any experience doing this successfully yourself with a Dom. THEN you come here to argue or troll me ... out of pure hubris. Then you accuse me of seeking attention or something like that but you are here coming at me like "how dare you question me"? YOu communicated to me that you are not supposed to be questioned. Saying to me that I am the first one?? First one to question your experience soloing AVs with a dominator ? Nah, brother, since you have no successful practical experience doing that, you should not be making those kinds of statements or adopting such postures. You don't have any to question. Stop the trolling, let this end. We cease and desist right here.

I want the defensive bonuses of the set I have on Dominate. I am trying to get the range defenses as high as I can. Dominate is there as a chain , a very fast chain. Makes no sense to me to 1. Lose the defense numbers 2. Lose the very fast attacking chain I have and replacing that with the AoE. 3. I am losing DPS/DPA. I stated earlier, I won't reduce the defense numbers I have on range especially. For 4 stars , this toon needs to be as high as I can on my own on defense. The soft cap of 45% in normal game content is largely nullified in hard mode It is vital for me to go for 70% defense on everything and more if I can. ITF 4 stars shreds 45% defenses and anything below incarnate level defenses. WE have been on speed runs and when my fortunate is the only one alive to finish the last cysts , she needs all the defenses she can get to get the job done. In 801s as well, the normal defense soft cap gets shredded. As close as I can get her to the hard cap ( I Know I cannot on my own) but as much as I can do my part to push her there, the better.

No, sleet does not need acc at all. Arctic Air needs no accuracy Ice slick needs no acc Heat Loss, yes Jack , yes Ice Storm From mastery does not need it because by the time you done with your IOs, that thing will hit all the time even with your global accuracy

What I showcase was all PVE. All those videos , that was all PVE. Also , there is a video that explains or shows how I used Black Hole effectively and to help the team Instruments are good but it depends on how you are using them and the timing ; it comes down to the player

After the changes to weapon sets, things only got better and better. Assault R might be even something worth looking into for fun since the DPA in AR just got better Now, if the Devs can finally show us some love and do the changes they been meaning to do already .... shorten the animation times for Dark miasma and for Radiation Emissions... PLEASE !

Well, if I may humbly add an even more applicable add to this, in 3 star content you are never soloing. Chances are someone will in fact light up w/e you lay down. And 99% sure someone will have procs in some attacks to boot. I mean, in team make up, trick arrow shines without worry about igniting oil slick _______________ Trick Arrow Cold poison ______ Dark Rad _________ Someone who really knows how to play traps well will also argue it's a great set with vast potential. I seen Traps/Ice Defenders who know what they doing melt things quickly

You welcome !

Greets, fellow players of CoH. I have been getting messages on Reddit and here about this build. I was always assuming this was already posted on the boards before. Yet, I know sometimes the search option can bring up so many things and some times it's missed or lost. Here is the general build, with procs , with enough defenses , both S/L and range defenses , to get you going. It should serve you well for usual general content of the game. This is the build without haunt , so it's not the pylon build for optimal results for that matter. Cheers to everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to write them down.

Hey, Honor, look, I am not trying to do that at all. I am glad you made the comment about PVP. Here's why - I think you and I will find common ground here and maybe you can try to support what I am trying to communicate. All right, so if you were on a thread about PVP and dueling and so on... and you were offering advise on a player who is trying to learn or seek guidance because he's trying to pick something to do with PVP, then my friend, me as someone who stopped PVPing after issue 14 because I did not support the changes to the PVP we had up until issue 12. So after being away from PVP for so very long, my brother, I am not going offer that player any advise on how to do this or that in PVP , but even less... I AM NOT going to be debating you if you decided to provide X amount of information on the subject matter. I am certainly not going to say that in PVP this or that has an advantage over those and these. I am not going to be debating on something I have no successful practical experience. That's my point. I think you would agree with me here. I have no feud with you. I extend my hand in peace and in handshake to you; again, I have no issue with you.
