Yomo Kimyata Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 My two least played classes are blasters and dominators, for various reasons. They are also the only two classes that have unique secondaries, so I am woefully unfamiliar with almost all of them. Excluding EATs, I can explore the power sets of any other AT through a different AT. How would you design an AT with blaster secondaries for primaries? What would be the secondary? What would you name it? How would you design an AT with dominator secondaries for primaries? What would be the secondary? What would you name it? Bonus question: would you play an AT with blaster secondaries for primaries and dominator secondaries for secondaries, or vice versa? Who run Bartertown?

arcane Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think the dominator secondaries offer a much better opportunity for this than blaster secondaries. Blaster secondaries are too different from one another. You’ve got sets like Devices with only one direct single target damage power and then others with three or four. So they wouldn’t be very balanced as primary sources of damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herotu Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 A Devices Primary set sounds intriguing! ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacemoon Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Dominator secondary would make a great range/melee hybrid. They would probably play like a sentinel who has more of a mix between melee and range power. Retired, October 2022.

Bill Z Bubba Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've been asking for an assault/debuff Archetype for ages with the debuffs all being pbaoe and acting like armor. I see no reason that you couldn't also go manipulation/debuff along the same lines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply don't see it being viable. Fire Manipulation vs Electical Manipulation vs Tactical Arrow vs Mental Manipulation? It's too mixed a bag. I don't think they can BE primaries. 1 hour ago, Yomo Kimyata said: How would you design an AT with dominator secondaries for primaries? What would be the secondary? What would you name it? This is at least plausible. All have some ranged damage, all have some melee damage, some have degrees of control / soft control, some are raw damage. Pairing it with control would feel silly to me, because why not just play a Dominator? So not control. Pairing it with Support.... feasible, but honestly, I wouldn't do it, because i still cling to the Impossible Dream of a Melee/Support or a Support/Melee. Pairing it with an armor set.... feels like I'm making a Sentinel who spends a bit more time in melee. So I'd look at maybe Mastermind Pets / Henchmen as a Secondary? 1 hour ago, Yomo Kimyata said: Bonus question: would you play an AT with blaster secondaries for primaries and dominator secondaries for secondaries, or vice versa? No. It doesn't feel workable to me. It would feel like I should just play a Blaster for more reliable ranged damage plus a blaster secondary. That said, I'm not deathly opposed to the idea. It''s just not my cuppa tea. Roster: MTeague's characters: The Good, The Bad, and The Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR / Dev is very effective and has nineteen kinds of nostalgia to go with it. But man, I tried Martial Kombat. And /Martial rocks so much for a blaster I'd be hard pressed to roll Devices now. Martial Kombat just hits all the right buttons for me. 1 Roster: MTeague's characters: The Good, The Bad, and The Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's definitely a nostalgia build versus an effectiveness build. Like many of my newer alts after the insanity of the shield/em tank.....
