Willing to post your build?

Only 2 things that stand out to me, I would put the Panacea set in Life Drain for more healing and more +recharge (move the slot from Health into Life Drain and add an accy IO), and Winter's Gift in Fly for the slow resistance. Domination gives you a decent amount of mez protection including knock. Slows can cause issues with keeping Domination perma.

There's a whole bunch of them eBay. Are these not what you're looking for?

SS is superior to EM. That's all you really need to know.

You can get pretty close on a Dominator. Illusion Control has holds and a confuse, and illusion has always been a mage staple. Take Icy Assault as your secondary to get ice powers, and then either Fire Mastery or Mu Mastery as your APP for a blasty AoE fire or electric attack plus a shield.

As someone who got dragged into square dancing by an ex I can say this is completely legit. Tho I found gay male square dancing to be far more enjoyable than geriatric square dancing.

Dominators don't shine until you have permadom, so make +recharge your #1 priority. Not sure I agree with not taking the melee attacks, they are by far your hardest hitting attacks. And since so many of the powers in Dark and Soul are PbAoE and you have to be in melee range anyway. IMO Mass Hypnosis is a waste and easily skippable. Telekinesis is a bit of an oddball power that takes a lot of practice to use well and not piss off the team (think Hurricane). But once you get the hang of it it's amazing. As a Dom you can skip the single target Confuse and Mesmerize (tho the latter is fine to take for the flavor of being a mind-controlling vampire). Terrify is a another iffy power for a Dom. You have other powers that deal damage and fear is of questionable value if you have a ton of AoE attacks. Even if you wouldn't normally slot Life Drain for healing on other ATs, do it here, as it's the only damage recovery power in your kit. Just my 2 INF.

CUSS SMASH!!!

Sorry, typo. Fixed.

Well yes, but that's not what was asked for, as it's not guaranteed to re-target the same critter you were targeting before. But it would be as close as you can get. Pretty sure you can leave out the "+$$target_enemy_near$$". The + is what makes it activate on the downstroke.

One thought, the new laptop is likely using a faster WiFi protocol than your old Mac, which could make the connection unstable at a distance. Try playing the game very close to the router to rule out distance as an issue. You could also try connecting at a slower speed/lower protocol, see if that helps, e.g. 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz.

No matter what you do you're gonna lose the target. Your bot needs to be targeted in order to cast a buff on it. There is no way around this.

This has been happening to me occasionally lately. Doesn't seem to be character-specific. Seems like a networking issue on the server end.

Yeah I was on a shitty PUG yesterday. I finally just had to leave, I couldn't take it anymore. This usually isn't the norm for me, but it does really suck when it's happens. And I wish I could blame it on the lead, but it was easily half the team, doing their damnedest to not even attempt to work together and making things 10x harder than they needed to be.

I'm on an ultrawide and the cutscenes are always cut off on the tops and bottoms due to the forced letterboxing.

I'm also a gay man of an older generation when queer was absolutely a slur, I fully support removing the word from the profanity filter. But this absolutely should not give license for people to use it pejoratively in the game.

I find Infinitum's builds are a good starting point. He has a Shield/Axe Tank, with a few tweaks it should work fine for a Brute.

The ignore function is the one and only thing that makes this forum tolerable for me. Without it I would have bailed a long time ago.

Move your mouse over someone's name and in the lower right of the popup is Ignore. Click on it and then you can choose how extensively you want to ignore them. If people didn't constantly post idiotic gibberish and/or act like 5-year olds we wouldn't need an extensive ignore feature. But they do, so here we are. 🤷‍♂️

If there's a network issue between you and the server there is nothing you can do about it. One thing you can try is playing on the Reunion shard as that's a different server than the others. You don't mention what kind of connection you're using, but if it's WiFi you should try a wired connection, see if that helps. You can also try connecting your PC directly to your modem (if you have a separate one) to rule out issues with your router. If all else fails definitely call your ISP and have them send a tech out to test the lines.

What do we do with the screenshot? Is there a way to attach it to an in-game report? Or should we use some other method to report?
