Hello,

 

I'm brand new to world domination and I upped a lvl 50 earth/earth/ice toon.

 

I'm also not quite familiar with Mids and how to make a decent build.

From the research I made, I can see that no dominator has Fly but I remember on Live that many controllers could fly.

I was wondering if some of you guys could help me in building an effective set, with a limited budget, that could include Fly.

I'm using the attached build (eventhough I don't have any of the IOs). 

 

I'm willing to learn but I'm missing the basics of building builds 😉

 

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

Hi there, thanks for sharing your build. Here are a few thoughts at a glance.

 

  • First thing I noticed right away is you didn't take Power Up. Take this, its one of the best reasons to go with a Earth Dominator. 
    • Specifically, hit Power Up before every Earthquake for -ToHit boosted quakes
  • Lose one slot in Volcanic Gasses, the 5th Basilisk's isnt contributing much
  • Seismic Smash is screaming for a 6th slot with a damage proc. Put the purple Hold proc here for insane damage.
  • Move the Dom ATO currently in Fossilize over to Stalagmites. 6 slot this. That gives you an extra +5 Ranged defense for the sixth slot. Now every time you hit Stalagmites you're practically guaranteed to trigger the +Damage Dom ATO proc.
  • Fossilize: Probably change to x4 Baslisks's Gaze
  • You have a lot of single target melee attacks
    • Drop either Boxing or Kick, you don't need both
    • Probably drop Cross Punch, its not adding much to this build. Your damage type is already Smashing
    • Probably drop one of the two Mallet attacks1
  • Replace stuff above with powers of your choice. 
  • Earthquake: change to x4 -ToHit IOs, x1 chance for 100% recharge
  • 2 slots in Hasten, not 3
  • Stone Cages: Unless you really are desperate for +Recharge, slotting purples here is usually not worth it IMO. Two options:
    • Just put one Accuracy here if you have to and leave it alone
    • Slot for Ranged or S/L defense depending on what you need

Great Thank you, I'll have a go at your suggestions and try to adapt what you advised me and post a build back.

One, get rid of Ice and go Scorpion Shield, requires you to go Redside and do Patron Arcs, then under Mace Mastery, take Scorpion Shield.  Fly is pointless, do to Stalagmites, requiring you to be on the ground to use it.  If your wanting to be more ranged, do-able though.

 

Here is a Melee Based E/E Dom: Dominator - Earth Control - Earth Assault.mxd

 

Here is a ranged based E/E Dom:  Dominator - Earth Control - Earth Assault.mxdThough you'll have scrape the ground to pull of a Stalagmites.

 

Dom's can fly, just Earth Control in general, normally SJ or SS. Do to Stalagmites.

Oh yeah, so much for Fly. Thanks for sharing your build, I'll also have a look and give it a go 🙂

You're ranged build is too purple for my purse as of now... how can I slot it while waiting to have the inf?

for Hurl Bulder: Devastationm for Stalagmite: Annihilation, Volcanic Gasses: Basilsk?

This is the cheapest build I Earth/Earth/Ice build I could create in 30 min that hits most of the important points.

 

  • Perma soft capped to Slash/Lethal
  • Close to soft capped to Ranged, soft capped while Power Up is up, or enemy other than an AV is within a quake
  • Perma-dom
  • Damage procs in heavy hitting long recharge powers (Fissure and Seismic Smash)
  • Dominator +damage ATO in a power likely to fire it often (Stalagmites)

 

It did require three purple sets to pull off: the Dom ATO, Hecatomb, and Armageddon. I deliberately avoided any of the Winter's Gift sets.

 

Weaknesses, nothing major but just to be aware of:

  • No real HP recovery tools to speak of
  • Very low resistance
  • Endurance management difficult, will require support from an iPower (I recommend picking Destiny for this and Musculature with +End Mod for Alpha)
  • No -Recharge resistance or Psi defense leaves build very open to being knocked out of permadom from Psionic powers

You 50 yet? If so contact @JJDrakken in game. We'll discuss your build cost. If not 50, what times do you normally play(Timezone/days)

Hello, yes, i'm 50. I'm from France, so now I maybe in UTC+2 TZ. I'll try to ping you this evening. I'm not @Valmina but @KRG-23

 

At least, my work on your builds are making me create macros for Stalagmites
