Well, they look like they hinted at a stone blast set, so maybe they'll port stone melee over at the same time.

Katana and Titan Weapons are two completely different sets with different playstyles, in which someone can like the set of one and not the other. TW would still out do Katana in ST and AOE Damage. I've made a TW Scrapper. Katana/Regen was one of my first 50's back on live (Claws/Regen was first). Plus there's just people making alts. The sets are reason to play the sets. Not (just) the skins.

O.O That helps a lot! I didn't go with that build 100% but it helped me make a build *runs off to make dom*

Yes, this is using my newest build, the second one posted in the EM/Regen thread I made a bit back. Edit: I did make the Proc chance in Build Up to Gaussian's tho.

EM/Regen/Soul T4 Alpha Spiritual Core Paragon T4 Interface Degenerative Core Flawless T4 Hybrid Assault Core (Passive Only) 2m46s for 358.8 DPS Had to hit Dull Pain twice. Working on getting the Degenerative Radial Flawless Interface to see if it makes a difference. I know Musculature would make a difference, but being Regen, I feel Spiritual does a lot for my survival.

I always wondered how Primal Earth existing would make Praetoria's Deal with Hamidon a no go. Another dimension of uncontrolled people, means Hamidon would say, "Deals off"?

I too, love this idea.

Yes. 3 Procs in DW. Though, I believe I tested Pistols with and without Procs with DW coming out on top still. I didn't use Dominate at all, and I believe that's popular to use with it.

DB does good DPS with Blinding Feint > Attack Vitals > Repeat. Solo'ed ITF and the AVs for Portal Jockey with no Incarnates/Inspirations, with a DB/WP Scrapper. I get that DB can do better DPS without the combo, but that also requires a lot more recharge in the build to pull off. Have to say on the animation aspect, DB felt better, but if they ever give Katana the Razor Sword from Titan Weapons (and keep it's size), I'm rolling up a Katana Scrapper again 🙂

Payton Winds

Dual Wield > Suppresive Fire > Executioner's Shot > very slight pause > Repeat, got me to solo AVs without Incarnates (except for Seige, couldn't beat him solo, all others soloed) on my DP/NIN. Defensive Opportunity is a waste, but I couldn't get enough Recharge to make Pistols > SF > Pistols > ES > Repeat work without lower DPS and Offensive Opportunity didn't make up for it. Musculature Core is more damage, but Radial gives End Mod, which can be nice for some builds. Lore, I've come to like Radial side of things for the buff pet.

I know the feeling! I come up with a concept and then just don't enjoy the build. I REALLY want to play Grav/Energy but I can't make a build I enjoy and I hate the idea of sacrificing damage for what is the awesome Propel! I'm hoping this changes, if Dom's ever get Illusion Control.

That is a nice catch! Before I had two Rectified Retical's in it for the S/L Defense bonus and I just forgot to switch it! Will have to look into the others more closely tho 🙂

Yes, but as a toggle, I figure there's only a small chance of the hold landing in the first place as I can't imagine a toggle hold power that holds everyone and likely doesn't last long, but I await to see what you got.

I know, but I like the Hold for LGTFs, Hami Raids and concept (very TKish hold)

Do you do that during a TF? Or you go zone to zone at the start?

Is there a single contact that allows you to get those? That's all the Mayhem missions, right? Doesn't that require tip missions and such and not just "Load up Mayhem mission when I want"?

TFC doesn't really seem like a chore, considering it's gotten easily through TFs and if one really wants to, can just wait to run some of those TFs as WST to get more merits out of them and never run them again.

I will have to agree, in the case of Time, I always felt the benefits of Time Crawl was a bit meh. I would use it on AVs for the -Regen, so the other powers would get buffed up, but it's usefulness always felt meh. And most seem to skip Temporal Selection and it's benefits are only more healing on the couple of targets you may have the Accelerated effect on. While my version seems to have missed the point of what the OP was going for, I would have to agree the "Use this power to buff these powers" I would hope would be useful. Which, in my version, I did imagine them being useful for. To @Blackfeather I have to say, I would want a single target hold if for nothing else, Hami Raids and LGTF. For Blinding Halo, I know I didn't have a control effect in it, but neither does Conductive Aura (Electric Control), Smoke (Fire Control - which is pretty much copied with Twilight), Spectral Wounds/Invisibility Powers (Illusion Control), and Spirit Tree (Plant Control), so there is precedence. As for the Hold aspect, I get the feeling it wouldn't be a great hold power, if put into a toggle. Chance to weak, so not enough stacking, or duration...feels like it just wouldn't be good enough hold, as a toggle. I then thought with the Illuminated effect, it could be a sort of Damage Toggle for Illuminated Targets. I do have to say, my version of Prismatic Field was not inspired by Shadow Field, however, as I never played the set, or really looked into it, as I never had a concept I felt right for it. My thought on it, was I liked your Illuminated Effect idea. I also liked the idea of all the AOE powers being Targeted AOEs and having the main target having the effects boosted, if they were Illuminated. The idea being, it would likely encourage use of said powers on the harder targets (Bosses) in normal play and meaner on AVs. Enough so, I wondered if for the AOE it shouldn't be Mag 2 Hold with +2 Mag on Illuminated Targets, so it wasn't so much +3 Mag on everyone. I did see you had a "Come to me" or "Come to here" idea with it, which is what I went with for the tier 8 and 9.

How many people go, "Okay. I just entered this zone. Let me grab these plaques before I do anything else"? I just finished getting the Authority Badge just the other day. I had been to IP before of course, but still had to run to IP to go get that plaque I had never really be in the area of before. Not to mention, there's those plaques I might've read before when I hit a zone, because you pass by them and think on it (Talos by the statue, plaque, comes to mind) but when I was actively going for Authority, I realize, I hadn't stopped at it on that character, even though I flew passed it many times (even had the exo badge nearby already). So, going to zones for no other reason but to read a plaque, seems like it's likely to be the case, for most of the player population. I doubt most have an add-on for nearby badges/plaques (I believe there is one, I just don't have it).

Well, you can go red side and switch it up, as it sounds like you are always going blue (note: I said "sounds" :p) Don't know why one would have to move things out of the echo zones though.

Okay, seems the multiple Impervious Skins won't help Regen and I realized that I could replace a +HP Bonus with a +Regen Bonus, which seems the better option, given that Dull Pain will Max Out the HP. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1423;678;1356;HEX;| |78DA5D93594F5A4114C7E7C2B508B854D1AA4516B12A825CA1491FBA3FD4A555494| |C49FBD6D8AB4E919400014CEA633F42B7F4A54BD2E5B51FA4EBD7E8663569E2435F| |E8E1FEFF22F126F09B3967CE9973FE33937D30D7F561F1E15565F45C2BDAB5DA5A6| |EA36A572ABADA99DDAEDBF542B9A49A9F477EC143D75A5617B5B6E64BBA9ADFC124| |D4F2CDE97BBA54D3D64D9DD7B20029BA57CBE5A2B550C86FD50BA5BC1FB36273DAE| |B8C57B4BDA9ABB5AD42C5E7CC7315AD3747E62B850D2B57B78BF7256FAEBC5D5CCB| |DAB5BAAEEE0C4B3513F27B91903FA3595FA3437D742B953195F989FC0C9EF8427E0| |53BBF81739E56AC5B2DC9604A7CB70CC737731BCC5C11864CF54AF631B0D6341E99| |8ECFF7987C02763D259F81F392DFCD18F768734FAFEA099161F064848C820B12D38| |11857C73EF2F41F80B3CF5D0E5D1E9C86AC519E867C6A51A65EAAE0FD8EEEFA7F80| |033FC95FE0A9DFE42EE897583FB3F983B0F589AD9B9577EFC136FC971C8032B3835| |46819F6EB12D3CB985E769B60B709763BC36E53ECF68DA8DAC798BEF32EC776FA02| |79111CBD445E46F737649F004F2D3084D30987C0E9046BB2C080AC1DC45A63F09CC| |074AB30E916DF10F30C65504FF82C7A8986711BA231F0ADD439427D47EEE234A236| |38B64E6E909BE0B80697649F20F43583C77499A12EA963BA981213E22D08F9D0CB7| |80F49DDDF494D116A1799844667A6C838390D4E26A15DF36AC418134BD1678153B3| |649ACC202626B54C50C389A4623E70457C71F4E68AD3367D48D6F95AEA4C225E255| |F4ACE80A99A57D3A2CDFA877D9625579AB6F41EB48B98AD17DA183515BF46732AB7| |7EE5C86B280FDF86175C35E992D586B37AD7D77AC1CA48A1C63FEDB6386C7BEDB63| |1DC87FD239BCBE0AB741D7B95EF13ADFA1ACB324E73BC2AB119F670A76D6CB78DD7| |DBC6FF01AD10CCB3| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| Wasn't sure if I should go with roughly 4-5% more Resists or Move those IOs in Resilience to attacks as Damage Procs.

Okay. I like the Illumination Effect. I'd like something better for the pet. I think I'd go in this direction with it, which I think keeps it inline with what was given. (Click Single Target) Ray of Light: -ToHit, Sleep/Immobilize (Mag 4), Special (Apply Illumination), Damage (Click Single Target) Dazzling Glow: -ToHit, Sleep/Hold (Mag 3), Special (Apply Illumination), Damage (Click Targeted AOE) Radiating Ties: -ToHit, Immobilize (Mag 3), Special (Primary Target takes extra damage/+1 Mag Immobilize if Illuminated), Damage (Click Targeted AOE) Twilight: -ToHit (-5%), -Perception (-90%) (Toggle PBAOE) Blinding Halo: -ToHit, -Stealth, +Perception, Special (Damage Only to Illuminated Targets - No damage to targets not illuminated) (Click PBAOE) Incandescent Eruption: Knockdown, Disorient, Damage (Minor), Special (+1 Mag Stun, Extra Damage) (Click Targeted AOE) Prismatic Field: -ToHit, Hold, Damage, Special (Primary Target takes extra damage/+1 Mag Hold if Illuminated) (Targeted AOE) Luminous Distortion: Foes Attract around Targeted Enemy, Chance for Confuse (Mag 3 - ##% Chance), Special (Illuminated Targets have increased chance for Confuse) (Click Targeted Location Pet) Holographic Distraction: Create 3 Stationary Images that have taunt auras and taunting attacks. They do not move. Moved Twilight to Tier 4, as it's the same as Smoke, which is Tier 4. I like the idea of all those Targeted AOEs and needing the primary target of the AOE to have Illumination for it to work, instead of just target something else and if they're in the AOE, extra. The Toggle PBAOE being the exception of course. As for, is this to powerful or not, I don't know honestly.

Mids needs fixed! 😛

Hmmm...Mids is having the Regen stack.
