Dominator - Fiery Assault - Enhancement Slotting

[Monty Haull]

Can the archetype enhancements added to some of the power sets?  When the primary is fire control, it is very limited to what powers can hold ATOs.

it wouldn't make sense with some powersets tho, they'd be completely incompatible with the actual power effects.

 

 

if you're looking to boost secondary effect of firey assault powers like consume - there's the end mod sets that it'll take, as well as other procs.

 

its like how you can't put 'gaussian' +tohit sets into a raw damage ability, despite the target ability having an accuracy component - in this example case, it isn't a tohit boosting power.

 

 

 

one can see the types of enhancements that are supported by a power on 'city of data': https://cod.uberguy.net/html/archetype.html?at=dominator

 

one cannot use enh intended for primary sets in the secondary.

 

are you just wanting to put the procs from the ATO set into secondary powers?  

 

what would you suggest to address complete target-of-slotting power incompatibility?

There’s not a single Dominator primary that would struggle to find places for the ATO sets if one were so inclined to slot them. Not seeing an issue.

i'd agree with that last.

 

if you slot ATO, things like hold last MUCH longer.  a skill like 'blind' in illusion control (with its secondary effect of a sleep splash to nearby foes) benefits very well.

 

You're never going to do damage like a blaster, and a lot of blaster combos can have secondary effects with soft control in addition to TWO hold powers (one from primary/secondary).

 

what you can do is controls which are wildly longer duration, which means MAG stacking.

 

couple this with something like symphony pet on dom, and that's a lot of mag 6+3 flying about for long durations.

 

AVs have a weird purple triangle buff thing that lets them have -50 mag to things like hold.

 

I have only ever been able to hold AVs on dom after getting mag stacking ramping.

 

regular things? they stand still.

 

the duration is important because harder monsters also will have status resistance at a significant level, meaning a control duration is reduced - so a power (and incarnate powers) which are layering on duration to achieve MAG stacking to a point where stuff stops moving, is good, kupo.

 

good luck, and have fun!

Fire Control has 5 powers that can accept ATOs.

 

To my knowledge, all the powers in the dominator secondaries that can accept ATOs already do. In order for a power to accept ATOs, it needs to have a mezz (hold, immobilize, stun, sleep, confuse, fear).
