page 3 [FOCUSED FEEDBACK] New Melee Set - Sonic Melee
Auroxis replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
When I tested, the Attune dot ticks stopped after entering hide and the Strident Echo ticks did not. However they didn't take me out of hide, and I was able to crit with my other attacks out of hide despite the ticks while hidden. -

T1 (Sonic Thrust) is not working as intended for sure T2 might be working as intended, and if it's a bug i wouldn't call it a major one (who's detoggling attune? who's getting disappointed by not losing damage from detoggling attune?) As for the chance to hide ATO getting cancelled, are you sure? Not able to test for a while but I still got crits after the ATO proc placed me in hide and DoT's were active. -
Welcome back @Bill Z Bubba! The incarnate choices you listed are on point. Yes, proccing out the slower recharging attacks of your chain and adding a snipe from Mu/Soul/Psi will do wonders for your DPS. Ston created a good resource for optimal rotations here:

It's worth noting that because of how MM's scale differently from other AT's it was difficult to balance-test them. After this patch, it will be easier to compare them to other AT's with simple pylon tests. If they aren't ahead of the non-pet AT's against stationary targets where pet AI isn't a factor, then their damage can be bumped up within reason. -

The gauss proc should work as it does on live, except you'd need to change where it is slotted into the Equip Thugs power. -
FYI every single top-end EM chain i've seen has AS being used every 5 seconds or so. Yes there's a 10s lockout on the hide proc, but AS is too much of a powerful attack to not use it whenever possible even if you don't have it at maximum focus stacks.

1. You want to pick up Havoc Punch over Lightning Bolt, better DPS. With a Zapp, Thunder Strike, Havoc Punch and Charged Brawl rotation you should have decent damage. 2. Synaptic Overload is quite good now on dom, it's your best CC when Tesla Coil isn't available because Static Field doesn't guarantee boss CC with Domination. 3. As far as endurance goes Ageless is always a nice pickup, and you can grab the Recovery Serum temp power as well. Here's my build, it's quite different as it focuses on recharge for AFK permadom instead of Fold Space and has some personal pickups (I like Spring Attack to jump into the pack after CC'ing). Fold Space approach is good also, but I went for recharge as I wanted AFK permadom and to maximize the uptime of Tesla Coil. Dominator (Electric Control - Electricity Assault).mbd

Thanks for sharing it! I have a lot of different versions of that build, but the main takeaways are: 1. Focus on recharge 2. Focus on FFB procs to get more recharge 3. Focus on AoE proc bombs to get some AoE damage in. Because illusion provides none, and you don't want your pets wasting their single target DPS on minions. 4. Fold Space helps in clumping enemies for your proc bombs and keeping mobs from straying too far (Illusion has no AoE immob outside of Flash) 5. Proc your single target hold for single target damage you can more easily control. 6. Since leadership doesn't affect PA damage, you want to focus on -res. Procced weaken resolve really helps there. 7. Power Boost from Energy Mastery is awesome for Force Fields, and Energy Mastery also provides more FFB uptime with Energy Torrent. I think the most interesting version I have is one with the Medicine pool I'll attach here. If you want Damping Bubble you'd be trading Superior Invisibility for it.

Short answer: It will proc about every other cast on a large pack and very rarely on single targets. Long answer: You're looking at a minimum chance to proc regardless of slotted recharge because the chain PPM formula is pretty unforgiving. However, since you're still hitting a lot of targets with it due to its target cap and how often its up, it's good to slot it. Just don't rely on it for single target fights.
-
It was previously not a true chain (it spawned a pseudopet that spawned other pseudopets), so it couldn't proc well regardless. Its first buff iteration wasn't an adaptive recharge, so it could proc ok (I think i tested it at around 50% proc rate because the chain proc formula is really punishing) but still could only hold confuse procs, and then when it was given adaptive recharge it went back to not proccing well.
-
Yes, but the confuse was already at a low enough recharge to be up every pack so giving it adaptive didn't really matter much.
-
Elec did not receive an adaptive hold. It instead got an instant+lingering patch hold in Tesla Coil which also deals decent damage. The confuse changes were mostly to the magnitude in domination, which is great but it's still a chain so not quite as good as an instant one despite the speed buff. Jolting Chain buff is what made me include it and slot it with the FFB proc. Thanks for the FYI but I was one of the main testers for the elec control changes in closed beta.
-
So Thunder Strike on dominator is special as it's a single target attack that has a separate AoE attack component executed at the end. The single target proc rates are actually quite high on it. As for Jolting Chain, it being a fast recharging chain power makes it have minimal proc rates already. However, since it checks against a lot of targets very often, the force feedback proc is effective on it.
