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

@Uun is too kind a person, i wouldn’t use fiery orb as a doorstop. it is awful on my mind/fire i put superior asc in my ST hold, stacks nicely as i use it often for seismic smash, consider having both the purple hold damage proc and then 5 slot hecatomb to include the melee damage proc if the hesitancy on using purples is due to cost, it’s worth it for seismic smash and attuning your dominator ascendency set. run a bunch of TFs and buy them with merits if needed

i’m not sure whether this would be possible within the game engine, but it would be cool for a genuinely challenging or scary halloween GM similar to the IP ghost ship, the GM crosses a slow path in atlas park - a dark, grotesque monster, medusa style. if you target it or get within 50ft you receive a strong debuff that lasts for a long amount of time, e.g 1 hour of in-game time. can only be killed either through setting traps and PbAoEs infront of it without directly targeting it or defeating the monsters that fall off behind it

i mostly agree with this - i’m not a fan of combos and similar mechanics. i’d prefer a clean, meat and two veg, how’s ya father, 9-5, 2 up 2 down, red blooded, honest days work powerset

welcome back mate, enjoy

if it's recharging and staying perma it's fast enough. i like to have mine stay perma even if hasten isn't on, but it doesn't matter too much if you need to use hasten also - just means if you go AFK for a bit you'll need to build domination back up i had a look at the build in mids, it's fine tbh - only a few bits i would change, but it's more of a minor tweak than a "oh dear lord what are you doing" type response: - i wouldn't pick spectral wall, is a bit mediocre, prepare to be underwhelmed by the fiery orb proc also - pick up incincerate rather than flares. you'll really enjoy it at the lower levels, it's quite a strong attack - take a slot out of gleam and give blaze a bit of extra love - 2 slot embrace of fire with recharge - you've picked up spectral terror quite late, consider having it earlier - i would rather have combat jumping than hover, but that's personal preference. i find hover slows me down and makes me a sitting duck - i wouldn't pick up assault and manuvers if i wasn't going to also pick up veng, i would drop evasive manuvers for veng, it's a nice LoTG mule also but gives the team a handy +30% def ish when things go pear shaped - including your phantasm - if you managed to free up a slot from somewhere, you could 4 slot mind over body with aegis to get 3% res, you don't need KB protection as domination gives that to you

i wouldn’t waste slots focusing on def or res, if you have enough +rech for perma dom you’ll be surviving just fine. mine has as much defense as a snail’s shell but is generally alive dom should also recharge often enough that endurance isn’t much of an issue on my mind/fire i went for intuition radial for the damage, hold and extra range. i went with incan for the destiny slot for speedruns as barrier can be achieved through popping an insp

red squirrel man getting a lot of hate on this thread, no wonder LRSF’s are so easy to fill

amateur can you imagine a world where we didn’t judge other players?

lovely post mate, will check it out

true, and it’s not always correct, but can be an indicator of who to look out for on a team. i would never refuse someone from a TF based on their badge count, but if they haven’t got many and have all 4 travel powers i keep a mental note of where my bountiful supply of powerboosted veng will likely be coming from

he knows too much, off to the HC gulag

i agree with @Ukase that it should be on by default, it’s fun to see how long people have had their alts. i proudly wear my two main’s 2019 dates i also find number of badges is a good way to see if someone is experienced with their alt before starting an MO run or similar
