Possible to Softcap Dominator for Melee/Ranged/AOE?

[Tempyr3]

I was just curious if it is possible to get a permadom/perma hasten setup that is softcapped to Melee/Ranged/AOE Defense rather than just smashing/lethal. It seems like this would be much stronger all around but I am not sure which sets would be used to achieve this or if it is even impossible.

[Mr. Vee]

I wouldn't think so. Only reason s/l works is the base in the patron shield. Even if you could do it there'd be no way while also keeping permadom. Good news is with permadom, defense is a luxury item.

Ok thank you!

Im not positive, but I'm confident you could get close. It would likely require using Power Boost or the Clarion incarnate power to boost Link Minds and then add combat jumping, maneuvers, weave, and both +3% def IOs....plus set bonuses.

Probably not. As Veelectric said, your patron shields are by type, not positional. So that's going to make it really hard to softcap positional defenses.  However, most +def powers give all defenses, and most IO's give positional/type defenses in a bundle (melee/l/s, ranged/e/n, aoe/f/c, etc.). So by getting those you can softcap *most* typed defenses, except for toxic and psi. Psi itself would require it's own unique ones or bonuses.

My Plant/Martial/Ice dom currently has S/L softcapped, E/N/F/C in mid twenties and the others in teens. I haven't hit 50 so I haven't started toward really capping them, but I have investigated some of the IO sets and it's probably possible to get them to mid-thirities if not mid-forties. It's a tough one but I don't plan on giving up perma-haste and dom for the extra types.

[KelvinKole]

Closest I could get. Permadom by the skin of your teeth and effectively 41.6% defense to M/R/AoE. There's some down time while Link Minds recharges.

Struggling with this somewhat right now. I could probably softcap m/r/e if I didn't have to worry about dom and having bit of wiggle room for it. But it's just tough as a Plant/MA, or any dom really.

 

I have several builds in the planner where I've tried different combinations, and honestly going the typed defenses is easier in some ways than positional, but it's still not the best. I've got a solid build with domination time of 82 seconds (bit lower with FF proc), and 44 s/l, ~35-40 e/n/f/c defenses. I'm not 100% happy with some of the slotting choices though, so still work in progress.
