Hello, I've been loving the impact (heh) of my new Gravity/Earth/Ice dominator.   But I'm about to do a respec and getting rid of a lot of attack powers in favor of defenses and LotG spots.  This combo is nice because the central rotation is pretty easy to reach and leaves a good chunk of slots open for pools.  I will say, I'm a casual player and it's very unlikely I'll have full IO build, only one of my characters has reached that.  I have a few million lying around but I'm not a farmer and I suffer from altitis.  Mostly just looking for a cheapish recharge build, but I'd welcome any suggestions as I'm not very experienced with heavy IO slotting.

 

I'm thinking of dipping into Concealment for a bunch of LotG powers, and I've been wanting some form of stealth.  I know Invisibility is changed a bit from live, but is it worth getting at all?  I thought about getting Grant Invisibility and just offering it in the chat when I start a team.  Occasionally someone wants it but I'd ask the team first bc some people don't.  If I have Stealth and a stealth IO in Sprint (or Superspeed), it's the same as being fully invisible, but for less endurance right?  

 

I'm also considering taking Phase Shift as a panic button, especially before I have incarnates fully set up.  Situations can get sticky, and it takes LotG as well.  But I had also thought, is it better to take Dimension Shift and use it defensively?  By which I mean, NOT casting it over any enemies, but instead putting it behind the back line of our team, for people to take refuge if they go into the red?  they can rest and the enemies will be immobilized if they chase the teammate into the field.  I've seen someone on the forums mention this tactic but I've not seen it in person.  I know a lot of teams are mostly steamroll, but I do a lot of 3-5 person contacts mission teams that tend to have rougher patches and require more tactics.  I have enough LotG options to take Dimension SHift over Phase Shift, but i don't know if anyone would actually use it as a safe haven.  Might be better to just allow myself to phase out of a rough spot.  Or maybe Unleash Potential will be up often enough that I don't need to escape.

 

Also, and I know this contradicts my lax IO mentality, but how hard is it to reach perma-dom without Hasten?  I can fit it into my build no problem, but I'm just curious.  I have permadom on my incarnate Dom, I keep Domination on auto and manually click Hasten.  But is it possible with just LotG and set bonuses?  Would I need tons of purples? 

 

my LotG utility powers are set to be - Unleash Potential, Combat Jumping, Ice Armor, Stealth, and one of the Invisibility/Phase Shift/Grant Invisibility. 

 

If you have insight on any of these questions I'd appreciate it!  Below I'm listing the powers I'm planning to take.  If anyone has a build they'd like to suggest, feel free to swap stuff in or out, though I'll say I am not interested in taking the fighting pool on this guy.  But yeah this is the overall vibe I'm going for with the character.  Thanks!

Here's a quick build with no purples, and I was able to get permadom without hasten. It should be able to get permadom at a pretty low level while you're fighting since, in my experience with /earth, the ff on tremor procs almost every time. I also got dim shift, so you can replace that with whatever you want.

wahhh that's awesome!  I'm impressed, yeah I forgot about the FF proc.  Thank you for the build!

 

Do you mind posting it in a reply as text or spoiler?  I'm on a mac and I don't have Mids.  I'd really appreciate it!

this is awesome!  thanks a bunch!  The only thing I might swap in is Hoarfrost for Hibernate, but it looks like they can take the same set.
