Cone Queen - Symphony / Fire / Leviathan / FoW

[Dark Current]

Put together a build to maximize the amount of cones with a ranged position dominator:

Symphony Control = 4 cones

Fire Assault = 1 cone

Leviathan PPP = 1 cone

Force of Will = 1 cone

 

Idea is to just spray cones at groups of enemies and stacking oodles of soft control from range.

 

Here are some sample vids from a Manticore TF I ran with Opal Dragyn from the other day to see how the concept works in the 30s. We were doing a 'kill most' taskforce run vs +2s most of the time. Only deaths I suffered were from the countess, which were not the fault of the build or powersets, but bad positioning in the first death (7a) and then getting range ganked by her on the second (7b).

 

Here are links to the complete series of vids if you want to check it out in action:

Manti TF Pt 1

Manti TF Pt 2

Manti TF Pt 3

Manti TF Pt 4

Manti TF Pt 5

Manti TF Pt 6

Manti TF Pt 7a

Manti TF Pt 7b

 

And if anyone is curious about the current build, it looks like this (not going for permadom, just range and soft control):

[Dark Current]

Made a couple more vids from some Level 43 radio missions.

 

Carnies

 

Circle of Thorns

 

I have pretty much no defense, so the build is kill or be killed.

[Mopery]

Best part of a Symphony/Fire perma-dom is the non-stop aoe "Domination" over the heads of all the enemies, then melting them all.

[Dark Current]

Let me tell ya, I AM tempted to permadom this dragon. I can definitely imagine what you're talking about. Was keeping this one on the cheap just to monkey with the concept, but it might be worth the investment of some purple sets at some point. Right now, she's really good on teams where I have other targets drawing fire. Otherwise, solo, she takes a beating. Which is it's own kind of fun.

[Dark Current]

Rolled up a symphony / electric build to compare with. Have an idea about stun stacking with the energy manipulator procs.

[Clave Dark 5]

Bile Spray is a wonderful cone.

[Dark Current]

Yeah, I chuck that up with my symp / fire / leviathan. Gonna go that route with the new one, too. Force of Will pool has Wall of Force on top of all that.

[PtownRebel]

This seems like a fun concept and build. Do you have a revised build? I can't load this one into the current version of MIDS but I'll definitely use it as a basis for my own!

[SeraphimKensai]

Late to the party...but just saying thorns gets one more cone power than fire assault.

Sorry for the delay. Here's the version of the build in the new Mids format. Should be compatible for you.
