incarnate alphas are essentially a (mostly) ED immune 7th slot

yes! i also have the same memory that it was mostly red and a sort of purple hue

pet damage is at best, a mild inconvenience. pets move slow and tend to have low burst damage your primary will mostly be used for firing off a few ST controls or laying some traps to slow people down - e.g earth for quicksand high damage assault sets like fire, energy and earth will give you the fast output you need to kill someone quickly

when your bar is full, you'll be able to activate Domination. it gives you mez protection for 90 seconds and also increases the strength of your control powers, meaning you can control things like bosses with 1 hit it makes dominators incredibly strong. for example, with domination active if you cast an AoE control power on a mob everything will be controlled in 1 click many people make domination permanent when they reach lvl 50 by using invention recipes to give their character multiple +recharge bonuses

is this your car?

i bet there’s still someone to ruin the final battle of a Posi 1 though, in-line with “Snarky’s Law” @Snarky

wow, that’s an interesting dynamic. what was the culture and community like as a result? i started on defiant in 2005 as a UK player, it had a reasonable population at peak times but would be fairly empty during the day moving to Freedom in 2008 was like opening the door to a huge party, everything was happening all at once, Excelsior on HC has a similar feel at peak times - i often log on and watch the LFG chat for a minute or two before deciding what to join or form

hell yeah

many people who play controllers and doms think it’s mandatory to spam their AoE immob everytime its recharged rather than thinking about whether an immob would actually improve things, so i can see why some would be hesitant

you can turn off XP in the menu options, is in options/general - “disable xp” or something like that which server do you play on? some have double xp permanently which is being turned off soon

ice melee on tanks benefits well from the AoE radius increase - frost becomes an even more incredible power

well.. i did tell you not to look directly at it..

i don’t have an opinion either way, i’m just here to enjoy the incoming arguments

i feel you may be underplaying the greatest attribute of the phantasm though: very pretty, very shiny
