    Yeah, sure. They have slots related to their level.

    Not everyone power-levels to 50 or only plays the 50's that they already leveled.

     

    I think that some is pretty few and far between on most leveling teams.

    But I guess it could depend on what server you are on. 

     

    The SO's becoming obsolete isn't so much of an issue when you can upgrade them.

    Usually the upgrading doesn't cost that much.

    If I know someone doesn't have the loot to upgrade on my team, I will usually give it to them. Helping them helps the team.

    The irony of you saying not everyone power leveled to 50 and yet low level characters have infinite influence to be constantly upgrading their enhancements between levels is noted.

     

    That'll be all. Thank you.

    I feel like DFB was only added so people could actually see the hydra head since sewer trial was hardly ran back in the day.  My guess also is that more hard modes are a good possibility since they already hit up an existing TF.  I wouldnt ever participate on a synapse hard mode though unless it was split into 2 or shortened.  I dont have 7 hours for a hard mode synapse in its current form.

     

    Hard mode synapse is just 20 defeat alls on large maps and they are all resurrecting freakshow with l33t speak names.

    Trap/TA/Poison?

    Thats the goal. Its just a bit hard to choose because I see so many knowledgeable people commenting on how to slot it, but when I look at their builds they are vastly different. You have proc monster builds, you have people who 6 slot flash arrow and then a few posts down someone else only 1 slots it. I love that there is a variety to choose from, but it is hard to make a decision.

    You'll get so many respecs that I'd just pick a build and try it. Or better yet, try making your own based on your experiences with the set as you level.

     

    I recommend a Trick arrow/Archery defender built for recharge is a monster. Highly recommended.

     

    Traps are just ok on defenders imho. For the sake of brevity, I'll just say I prefer it on corruptors more than anything.

     

    Poison is another I don't play on defenders. I resolved my poison defender to a controller due to the final power being an aura and therefore worked better for a melee-oriented controller (fire/poison in my case).

    What got you into playing Dominators?

    in Dominator

    Posted

    Had an ice/ice/ice Dom back on live that, by the standards back then, was extremely powerful and useful to the team. Between the control, damage and even debuffing sleet, I felt like the toon could do it all.

     

    Now I have a plant/psi/ice, elec/elec/mu, ice/ice/ice, dark/savage/power and I'll probably make an illusion/something/something at some point.

     

    Dominators are just really active and require a level of concentration that I just don't get out of other AT's.

    Because brutes are currently the worst AT by a massive margin despite being able to easily solo the vast majority of content with little effort, one of the most popular AT's and even has access to the most broken powerset, regen, we have decided to nerf brutes by buffing every other AT to be just as fun.

    Are you saying this because a majority of the characters on a posi 1 tf are unslotted, don't have knockback prot, and are out classed by their shadow doppelgangers?

     

    You might have to run an old school posi tf vs a posi 1 with the same group to judge how much of a difficulty difference you're looking at. I do like the Shadow Doppelganger event at the end of Posi 1. If I was competent and able to redesign, I'd have the defeated Shadow Doppelgangers reform with Rollister to make a Shadow Madness Mage AV for the final encounter of the tf, but het that's just me.

    I think it's a combination of things:

     

    Lack of slotting

    General low level lack of power and abilities

    Ruin mages have both a +Def AND -tohit power.

    Spectrals have -tohit aura too.

    Last mission requires teams to not pull extra groups

     

    It's tough. I think Ruin mages should be part of the CoT at all levels and not just low level- as a challenge.

     

    But yeah posi 1 is I think the perfect difficulty for a casual taskforce.

    Controversial opinion: posi 1 is harder than most taskforces now. I've had more defeats during posi 1 than almost any other taskforce.

     

    I like it. I love it. I want some more of it.

     

    Seriously, I want challenging taskforces. Not so hard that I'm not going to bring a certain archetype but I want to have to think where to go and team coordination. Posi 1 is perfect difficulty wise IMHO.

    Elec/Bio stalker reverting to idle animation during combat

    I've had this issue on several different AT's. It always seems to happen randomly, and I just sorta attributed it to lag or something with my computer so haven't put too much thought into it and didn't note which AT's and what I was doing. For me, it seems most noticeable when I'm in teams, especially when there's a lot of other effects going on.

    Same. I thought it was a lag/latency issue but my stalker is now lvl46 so it hasn't been a 1-off issue. Being in a team definitely seems to make it worse.

    Elec/Bio stalker reverting to idle animation during combat

    To put it simply, when attacking on my elec/bio stalker, the attack animations seem to end abruptly and my character goes into the standard standing animation. This doesn't appear to have any effect on my powers but sometimes the attack animations don't even play. For example I'd I use assassin's shock, the character will stand in the idle animation while the attack goes off as if nothing is different.

     

    This seems to occur in missions mostly but I can't 100% replicate the issue- maybe 80% of the time.

     

    I do not have this issue on my ice/ice stalker or any other character. I think it has something to do with bio's hide power but I'm only guessing. Once I have the time, I'll try to get a video or something.
