Nightmarer 2

Same goes for DM/Rad. Saying it is more or less expensive is one thing which will be true for some people and not true for others but saying that after spending lots of inf best you can get is around mid 30% is simply not true. Just improvised this build, I know it's 0.22% below softcap but some enhancement boosters should sort it out.

Not really THAT expensive if you remove the purple set tbh. This is my Ice/Rad but softcapping to S/L can be done with most sets, all you need is to look for alternate slotting solutions.

Softcapping S/L def would be a must for me. Another trick would be adding the KD proc from Avalanche winter set in ground zero which added to Particle Shielding and Radiation Therapy should keep any scrapper alive without major issues. Other primaries have also different survivability tools that add to these, Mass Levitate in Psi Melee, KD in War Mace, Ice patch in Ice melee... in your case, you benefit from Siphon Life to keep your hp bar topped and if you softcapped your scrapper to S/L, then you'd also benefit greatly from your DM's inherent To Hit Debuff.

No ide why other ppl do it, I find it fun, although blasters are now far more survivable than they were back in live, it's still fun, feel like being a bit on the edge.

Ah well, at least I won't waste more time ice skating in AP, that shit is addictive man

This, very much this

What do you need to know? Pretty much any blaster can be a blapper, favourite sets of mine are /nrg, /mc, /nin and favourite primaries are atomic/, water/ and elec/ but that's just personal choice, there are plenty that work fine for blapping

It does stack. Also, I don't think I'd roll an Illusion Dominator if PA was changes by something else. Prolly getting rid of GI and having an AoE Immob like someone suggested or something along those lines would be the best tweak for me.

I used to have one back in live but can't honestly remember if it was good combo or not. The build for me is pretty straightforward anyway, aiming for the usual S/L def cap and using as many procs as possible to maximize dmg. This is probably how I'd build one nowadays.

It seemed interesting with the procs but it could be easily replaced with single shot

Me likey Insect control

Also,, the +rchg domis also pursue for permadom would also pave the way towards perma PA so it's a win-win scenario. I hate that most times I need to get compromises with certain powers because of needing +rchg for permadom but here, you get double benefit in exchange for that extra rchg compromise

Well, title says it all. I know this is much easier said than done but hey, one can dream, right? These are the sets I’d like to see for Dominators, Controllers or both. Apologies in advance for not making names but English is not my native language and it is kinda hard for me doing so). Also, some of them would most likely require new animations and I don’t have the slightest clue if this can be done but again, one can only dream: Dominator Primary: - Illusion Control (hell yeah!) Dominator / Controller Primary: - Wind Control (I think it was in the makings) - Water Control (I think this one was also in the makings) - Some sort of “Poison” or “Toxic” control, basically, the usual stuff based in toxic / lethal dmg (not necessarily in that order): ST immob ST Hold PBAoE Immob Toggle (toxic dmg / def debuff) Targeted AoE (-regen / def debuff) Targeted AoE Hold Location AoE (Toxic dmg / def debuff / slow) Foe Targeted Summon toxic fumes (pets) Main Pet (Something along the lines of The Toxic Avenger) Dominator Secondaries - Poison Assault (again, mix of toxic / lethal dmg) ST Ranged ST Melee Snipe Melee Cone Build Up PBAoE ST Ranged Melee AoE Close Targeted AoE -Brimstone Assault (Fire and or Negative dmg, depending on the attack) ST Ranged (Corruption) ST Close (Lash) Build Up Snipe (whip) Close Cone (Crack Whip) PBAoE ST Ranged ST Melee PBAoE -Weapon Assault (Smashing / Lethal dmg mainly) Ideally with either Dual Pistols or Assault Rifle animations (or both, being able to choose any just for animation effect. For Melee attacks, guess the animation of Brawl when holding a weapon could work here. Ranged ST Melee ST Ranged Cone Build Up Ranged ST Targeted AoE PBAoE Melee ST Ranged ST I know this is probably impossible. I know other servers have implemented Air and Water Control but tbh, I play in HC so I don’t really know / care how well these work in other servers. Anyway, I just thought I’d share and I’d honestly like to know what sets people would like to see in Dominators / Controllers (or just Dominators and then we’ll see about trollers :))

Hmmm, thinking Plants/Traps, all those traps + carrion creepers and Fold Space from the new tp pool to drop groups on top of all that...

Hmmm, that's probably how I'd do it. Melee attacks are mainly needed as set mules for S/L softcapping but if you don't want to be softcapped, can get rid of them: Villain Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.7.2.10 https://github.com/Crytilis/mids-reborn-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

Earth. Plant is favorable to melee and Earth is pure melee. Martial as second option. Rad is also melee oriented but it has way too slow animations to be fun.

That happens now with a lot of sets, Elec Armor, SR, Nin... it's the denial of reality they did back in the day "the game is balanced around SO's". I don't there's anyone interested in doing i8 chars (and when I say anyone, I mean a siginificant percenteage of the playerbase to justify that statement).

Hmmm, precisely Invulnerability was quite a lame underperforming set until Castle tweaked it and left it on a very sweet spot, solid and reliable (albeit a tad boring) set so I would not understand nerfing it.

Personally, for DA I am partial to Ice. Ice patch saves you from turning CoF and OG on and off if you want to herd. Invuln is a great set but a tad dull so I'd pair it with a busy set that adds some form of active mitigation. Personally I love it with Stone Melee but War Mace would also be great. Dark Melee is also a great option for either DA and Invuln.
