i’d remove evasive manuvers, ice storm or an attack definitely keep total domination, there will be times when having total dom, mass confuse, sleep and terrify will change the course of battle and make you feel god like

glad you’re enjoying the primary, mind/fire/ice is my main for many years now. i’d highly recommend picking up the ST confuse. you can confuse AVs through PTOD nullifying them, even the crystal titan can be confused - it’s an incredibly strong power confusing rikti guardians and other ememies which can buff you will become a fun hobby. it also gives you access to a fast recharging power which doesn’t aggro enemies but takes them out of action, e.g sappers. at lower levels, having both an ST hold and ST confuse readily available makes a big difference

your build should be 70-85% hami-os and you should buy them all from me* *may be wholly incorrect and biased towards my own wealth

i like that it ticks so frequently, every 0.5s i believe - makes it a great power to herd things up and unleash those lovely AoEs

i like to have someone set the controls without me looking then join a posi 1 with @Snarky to figure it all out

it’s a banger with the contagious conf proc in, though overall it does seem to be an odd mastery set for a dominator in my view. mostly redundant given permadoms have mez protection and already a good bag of controls. it competes with some very strong masteries i use the proc in my ST confuse on my mind/fire dom, procs quite regularly for some added chaos, one of the best procs out there for fun

no chilling embrace? sad ice armour noises it’s the pinnacle of the powerset

i agree - sirens call used to be amazing for PvP pre-IO. perhaps zone incentives could also be added, along with bonuses so people don’t take it so seriously - e.g rewards for dying X number of times

my ‘go to’ for introducing a classic CoH feel on TFs is to click enemies buffed, it really switches on the old game playstyles and has people cooperating quickly, even at +0

blasphemy! i have provoke even on my defender haha herding is a direct contributor to chaos, which is the purest way to play the game if people aren’t button mashing in panic i’m not interested

proper positioning and mob strategy is also a very effective survival technique, much more so than any IO set or power pool in my opinion unless you’re the lead tank for a team, then that goes out the window a bit 😛

wouldn’t that just be the original MLTF, the STF?

i knew the mega death rocket scooter could cause loss of life and limb, but i never thought it would be my life and limbs i would therefore like to request @Snarky for a refund

please keep arms and legs fully inside the mega death rocket scooter at all times to avoid loss of life and limb

i’ve always enjoyed soloing with my mind/fire dom, or soloing with a blaster back on live. playing with an AT without defense makes it much more strategic and fun from my experience

shameful - mods, ban this blasphemous spaghetti!

like snarky, i see posts where people have crazy amounts, tens of billions i tend to keep my main at about 1.98bn and store the rest (200-400m) in the AH. where i see a person on the forums who appears like they could use the support, i enjoy buying expensive procs or purple sets for people

the difference it makes in XP gain is so minimal it’s likely not even measurable unless the team was standing around watching each and every mob slowly kill themselves, it is a non issue

uh.. like, some sort of, archery set for blasters? would never happen

i think it’s balanced - if an AV is placated it’s not being attacked and quickly regenerating health, so there’s quite a large tradeoff to using the power

for high HP enemies like AVs and GMs, also consider the power of -regen as a significant aid also. it feels less relevant thesedays in the age of extreme damage, but still a useful helper

if you find a way to play on your phone, you should join a TF with @Snarky whilst figuring out the controls

i would drop one of assault/manuvers/tactics and pickup veng - always good to have on a defender. you’ll be outputting good def values to the team anyway, but the extra acc can be a lifesaver in some content

i assumed only the archived paragonwiki and CoH fandom (which i’m not a fan of the UI) existed the HC wiki looks great - clean interface and easy to navigate

ooh didn‘t know about this, i’ve always been using the archived paragonwiki
