Voltak

If you log in today We can do the test on Giovanna outside of AE In the same mission we tested together Should be quick And thank you very much for responding

You said you did it alredy So I am not making sense of this. Help me out You said you did this already and then I invite you so we can witness this and check the numbers with analyzer But then you say you need to tweak to do this If you already did it, why go through the trouble of doing anything else ? Also, I have not heard from you I hope all is all right See you soon, buddy

Dark/Dark Dominator BY FAR... The debuffs, the so many different instruments to control, all of them except a sleep, and I don't miss the sleep at all. The pets The big fear The proc bomb of the huge AoE stun The graphics Possess is by far the coolest looking power of its kind in the game _____________________ Dark blast empowers the debuffs of dark control Has a very good heal available every 2 secs or 3 Strong dmg to be able to solo AVs using range Even better dmg to solo AVs mixing in melee. Plenty of AoE to get the job done well It can do very extreme difficult content , to include, but not limited to, soloing a Master ITF with no insps, settings, no deaths, no temps, 54 x 8

We may certainly include Dark Assault in that list. Very good and viable option if you want to be mostly at range. And it has good options if you want to sometimes dip into melee range.

You too have a special spot / love for dominators? Very cool indeed

Thank you both very much. Doms for the win !

I believe this is the first time it's been achieved, at least verifiably or recorded - Solo Master ITF Challenge with this difficulty setting.

What I am most interested in is countering the speed at which a LVL 54 AV sheds off those magnitudes. They drop much faster than lower level AVs. So I am eager to see this played out. I also miss the old PVP days. The only toons I stood a chance vs a Mind/ Dom were my Ice/Rad troller with PB or pay mastery and my Fortunata when i12 hit, the Fortunata really sooo good in i12. Anyway, that's another game entirely 🙂 I will be posting the video of my second attempt and a successful attempt it was to do Master ITF 54 x8 no insps, no deaths, no temps, and so on.

I have 3 builds ITF master hardcore settings for solo or duo or small teams LGTF Master hardcore settings General lower level for exempt WHich one?

I want to see this Let's team again and pull the power analyzer up so I can have a record of the magnitudes dropping and raising It is very interesting to see how those numbers move so fast when an AV is Lvl 54

The issue at hand that needs the most attention is the fact that a lvl. 54 AV is shedding off those magnitudes way faster than AVs of lower levels. I was seeing the magnitudes drop very fast, in the 12s going down, and in the 6s on better occasions. So 57 + 12 means we should aim for a mag 69 - 70 We will test that and go from there I might add that this is where the combo Dark/Dark has an edge over others While Dark/Dark is trying to stack mez and also attacking, it is stacking the to hit debuffs every time. This makes the fight for the AV to kill you much more difficult If you take high defenses (in my case very high range defense) and you add the to hit debuffs in the power sets you are adding significantly to your safety. This is one big reason why I felt confident in being able to Kill ROmmy lvl 54 with no inspirations and temps were disabled as well. Psy attacks are a different issue because I THINK they are inherently more accurate. Giovanna will still miss a lot but not as much as Rommy missed, he missed 95% OF THE TIMES. 🙂

Ok, so we did the tests yesterday. Many sincere thanks and kudos to @Cenozoic for coming over to the server and helping me to carry on these tests . Here are the results Lvl 54 AV could not be permanently held nor confused. Even after passing magnitude 56 and 57. The AV at Lvl 54 was shedding off the magnitudes faster than you can blink. Since they seemed to drop by 6, going from 57 down to 45 seemed to happen way too fast. @Cenozoic Got hammered as soon as the AV broke free, a quick painless death. We are going to try again and see what numbers might be needed but even at 57 - 60 it was not enough to keep her held. I am thinking we try passing 66 magnitude and see how it goes. We dropped it down to Lvl 52 At level 52, the key was reaching magnitude 57, not 54. Here's why. Numbers fluctuated by 6 when they went down in magnitude. If you reach magnitude 54 and you proceed to attack thinking you are safe, when the numbers fluctuate, they will drop by 6, leaving you at 49, AV will break free and then you are in trouble. So the key at lvl 52 was to reach and pass 57 or to never let it drop below 57. We tried Lvl 25, +0 AV lvl difficulty settings. We fought Clamor. Same thing 57 and higher is what kept you safe. I am glad to make another friend in game. He's a cool cat.

First of all nihi, I was never ever trying to get a debate going nor disrespect anyone and I said what I said with nothing but good intentions. Now, I tested this theory you wrote about, which has been posted before, and at all kinds of different levels, many times. This theory did not hold. Failed. But the good news is that today we might see in reality if it can be done and also how many stacks exactly does it take to do so. Stay tuned.

Never practiced. Dark Anarchy was with me. First time in the map. Dark Anarchy was with me and I did only one run and I got out. Also, you said that I play using only cheap tactics and that I play as a stalker. The evidence proves that I did face tanking, and I never ever ran away, and if two groups of mobs were aggro'd, then I stayed in placed and I handled them all aggressively and I tanked them not behind a rock, but right there in their faces, not running to the hills. I been playing the game every week. I have been running the content of all sorts as well, that includes carnies and many others. I did NOT challenge you You challenged me You were the one who challenged me to do carnies and compare your build, your defenses, and your tanking, vs mine in all those categories. I did not ask for this. You did. I don't want you to do anything. You wanted me to compare with you vs the carnies. You asked for that so I obliged. THen I posted the results of what you challenged me to do and the results of you doing that too. Look how I did it and then look how your build was so tanky that it ran to the hills and hid behind a rock. I agree, let's let it die.

You can view the statements and the performance in the link below. Your statements and your performance, when taken together provide a lot of insight. Since actions speak louder than words, what a better way than to see it all?

The build you sent me had permanent domination. hasten did not reach perma I dont have permanent hasten either, on one of my 3 builds, so it's no biggie to me It's not a deal breaker

Yes If you're only interested in doing the easy stuff of the game then this build is more than adequate I use me pets for damage so I slot for damage I get my bonuses from other things If you want drain life as a heal only then slot for that and get some higher healing numbers You may still reach your goals There's not just one way to get defensive stats So that's my feedback You looking to keep the build the way you have it? Again, if you just do the easy stuff the build works fine Cheers

This is fantastic Thanks a lot Excelsior server I have one mission still in my contacts /list Say when We will do top lvl AVs and low level AVs, one of each, or just one if the other can't be done.

I think I feel what you are going for. You are going for a lot of things here. Cool. There are advantages and drawbacks here. Drawbacks - Since you have Smite and Midnight Grasp, and Smite being your biggest dmg dealer (judging only by DPA) this means your style will be spending way more time in melee. Drain Life is not a dmg dealer, and if you try to use it as such , your DPS will hurt badly. The dmg it deals in exchange for the animation time is a loss and not a gain. You are missing moonbeam since it won't fit in that build if you want to set up and that hits like a truck I do see Dark Grasp, Dark Blast, Smite, Midnite Grasp as a solid chain , so I do think that's the route you are aiming for, and to spend lots of time in melee to deal ST dmg Slot it for heal and use it only when you need to refill your health bar. Since Umbra beast is not slotted for dmg, and the pet deals solid dmg when slotted, that suggests that you may be locked into Alpha and Hybrid dmg dealing spec only. See if you can figure out a way to slot Umbra for dmg and still be near those same stats, and keep in mind that you plant to spend some time in melee. When you exempt down the pet will be missing dmg as is.

I will take a good look at this and I will message back Thank you for watching. I have uploaded more and I will keep uploading more

That's not proof nor evidence. Evidence is In-game you can go kill the AV or the Pylon and it shows wether you did it or failed to do so. "On paper" things may appear to be, but when the fight starts, it's a whole different issue. Also, be aware that I am not making claims that Dark assault does more than anything else. The important thing is not making claims that you cannot prove, especially in practice, actually unable to do what you claim. Show me your pylon times or show me your video of you doing what you claim you will do. Otherwise, it's just talk, making unproven, unverified claims.

Anyone can state things like these. Everyone has a right to say what they want. That's ok. Show me the evidence that energy assault will kill an AV quicker than Dark assault under the same conditions of each of the AV fights posted? Remember that some of these fights are done with ZERO inspirations. For example, the fights vs the Lvl 54 AVs in the ITF were done with no inspirations. AV Arakhn also done with no inspirations. AV Burkholder with no inspiration. Lvl 53 Sinclair only one single inspiration used. Try lvl 54 Carnies AV (small inspirations only) Clamor AV (small inspirations) I also posted pylon times for dark assault with no primary set used , no pets used. DO you have pylon times for Energy assault without the use of the primary set at all? Do you have videos or links to these videos where we can see this claim being proven? Theories abound on the forums, lot's of talk from peeps who have not done things being discussed. Lot's of talk from people who have no first hand experience killing AVs solo with a dominator. YOu are welcome to show me data or evidence to prove your claim about energy assault under the same conditions.

Oedi and I were discussing Mind and Dark on the subject matter of killing AVs. A matter that came up since one of the issues later addressed about Mind was killing AVs. That happened on this thread YOU jumped into that discussion between him and I and you made claims 1) not proven 2) based on no first hand experience 3) you don't know about that first hand 4) you can't even manage to do Anyway, you care to back up your claim that in terms of dmg Energy assault is better for dealing with AVs, better than Dark assault? How about pylon times? Can you prove your claim?
