Are you saying that Enflame gets containment too when used on Tri-Cannon? No, enflame works as standard on it. I still don't understand why you don't just double the damage of Tri-Cannon. Unless containment for pets is going to be spread across all the controller primaries?

I was testing some slotting and I noticed Gadgetry is on the test server. Just figured I would share:

Could I have your stuff? (Hey someone had to ask)

The bolded I feel is hyperbolic. I mained a fire/Kin controller an a Fire/psi dominator on live and Homecoming. I do not, nor have ever needed Bonfire for effective control on a Fire/X Dom or Controller Its a valid complaint that the primaries got hit, but please don't act like its the end of the world for Fire Control.

Was talking to some folks in game, and I am getting the general impression that people think that Plant Control is going to PRUNED (I am hilarious) back in some way in the near* future. The most common comparison point was Plant Control Seeds of Confusion (lv. 8 ) vs Mind Control Mass Confusion (lv. 26). Is there any real meat to these predictions, or is it the usual powerset jealousy that goes on? I mean if they CLIP seeds back, how exactly would they do it? *Between now and the Heat Death of the Universe.

These badges should not allow ANY temp powers in the attempt. That will really ensure that the badges mean something. 4-8 blaster Master of X badge will be something to brag about.

I Bile ranges from 7-8 on the PH scale, trending alkaline Drinking water ranges from 6.5-8.5. Just trying to demonstrate the semantics door that's opened here.

Devs, I am sympathetic to your plight. You have opened the door for Semantic nitpick wars. Shouldn't Poison make people wet? Acid Mortar? Most of the Poison Set? Corrosive Vial? Bile Spray? (why waterspout but not Bile Spray?)

Hey Devs! I noticed you didn't get any feedback on Detonator so I jumped on test to try it out with my Ninja/Traps. Am I happy with a 660 Damage, nuke on a Mastermind, that works on ANY PET (Yes-FFG! Yes Acid Mortar, No-Seekers), that on my build recharges in 90 Seconds? YES, its a fantastic improvement. I will be respecing to take this when it goes live.

Yes once we noticed it we tested it repeatedly. RWZ at the new dummies. Symphony/Traps and Arsenal/Traps controller. Teamed. Solo. Near Far Without line of sight. If we get a chance we will try it again tonight.

Seems there is an issue with triggering Temporal Bomb: if you are near another traps player, teamed or solo, and you both have Temporal bomb out. Either player can trigger the other players bomb. Game doesn't care who triggers. Game doesn't care if you are grouped. Line of sight doesn't matter. Range doesn't seem to matter either. This has some serious bugs associated with it. This breaks the UI. It also makes it so the next time you put the bomb down you can't trigger it. This breaks the cooldown. This breaks the SFX/VFX.

So has anyone compiled all the ways to make your enemies Wet* yet? *Kinda feel dirty saying this lol.

Hey I hate to be a killjoy, but I was doing some more testing today and I realize that this is going to be a problem on Live: Original doesn't have this issue. This needs to be fixed before this goes on the live server. Smoke Canister -- Color tintable Customization -- Dark Color, Bright Color, ANYTHING selected makes it impossible to see. Max graphics settings, Not using the Cellshading mode. This is just me in a X8 Map. Imagine a team with more than 1 Arsenal Control characters using Smoke Canister. EDIT: Root Cause I think the cloud VFX stick to the mobs.

Captain Powerhouse confirmed it works correctly on the Canister though!

I realize my comment is confusing and vague. Just to be clear: Domination for the AT as a whole isn't working consistently on Test. It works fine on secondaries, but primaries aren't functioning correctly in the current build.

Just a FYI to people testing the Smoke Grenade. Domination is currently not working (at all/consistently) on test.

Tested this extensively on a Fire, Illusion, Ice and Plant dom: -1, +3. Minions, Lts, Bosses Against another player. AoE controls Single target controls. It DOES work on Psi Assault secondary (Subdue/Psi Shockwave) I cannot get domination to work on ANY primary I have tried so far. Further the "DOMINATION" Pop ups doesn't come up at all. EDIT: Incarnate "WAYLAY / CONTOL" works, so its not a text call out issue. EDIT 2: Domination isn't working on any of my Primary powers, but I got it to pop with Subdue and Psi Shockwave from Psionic assault.

I guess I play my Dominators wrong? Just checked all my combos, and I skip the cone on all of them. Thanks for the insight. Just want to add that sometimes even the pro's design something ineffectively (shout out to Boeing!).

Did you put it in the bug forum?

My rough numbers: 1.67 -- Mental Blast -- 56ish DPA 1.00 -- TK Blast -- 58 DPA 1.67 -- Subdue -- 56ish DPA 1.10 -- Dominate -- 70ish DPA + Massive Proc Potential 2.00 --Scramble Thoughts -- 50ish DPA (If you get all the ticks) + 4 mag stun I build for full exemplar so I ended up taking TK, Subdue, Dominate, Scramble Thoughts, and yes Gloom to up the dps at end game. I rotate Dom (either Scram or Subdue) Gloom at 50. Devs: I actually WANT Wide Area Web Grenade now. Struggling to fit this into my bane build now. Also thanks for the Mace animation option on Frag Grenade. Kudos.

So been playing with Arse/Arse today and I came to thinking that this set doesn't have a Marquee power. From a dominator lens, the control set is straight up terrible. Tranquilizer -- DOM? YES, Single target sleep. SKIP Sleep Grenade -- DOM? NO. I won't repeat what others have said better about sleeps. Cryo Freeze Ray -- DOM? YES, Standard ST hold. Nothing to add here. Liquid Nitrogen -- DOM? NO. Cloaking Device -- Always nice to have extra defense. Smoke Canister -- DOM? NO. its meant to be used with Nitro I get it. Just seems weak even at even con. Flash Bang -- DOM? YES, Standard 90 Sec Soft control. Nothing to Add here. Tear Gas -- DOM? YES, 4 Minute Hard, SKIP Gun Drone -- Pets are always meh on Doms Imo. As a dominator player this set has zero Marquee powers. Nothing that would entice me over the other frankly better sets that interact with my class mechanic. Addtionally the Pseudo pets don't seem to contribute to your building of Domination, though this is minor as its Perma dom builds all the way anyway.

Bug - (Maybe?) I potentially don't understand the under the hood code but isn't fate sealed supposed to be a 34% resistance to Mez on self at 50?

Wrong Thread!

Yeah, I want to be clear: Not really complaining just trying to understand how things are supposed to be balanced against each other. So, yes you do have to consider all available tools in the balance conversation. With the Power customization + New Scramble thorughts I am going to go full on Ranged on My fort once this goes live. Still skiping Psi Scream though, and will just live with Psi Nado for the easy FF+Recharge.

Can someone explain to me the balancing logic between the Fortunata and the Nightwidow Psychic Screams? Fort, Narrow cone, 20ish DPA, 12 Second Recharge, 13 end cost. Night Wider cone, 40ish DPA, 20 Second Recharge, 20 end cost. Is it crazy that I would much rather have the Night Widow one? Am I supposed to weight in the fact that the Fort also has (the terrible) Psionic tornado?
