... Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I mean, it's already an assault set. Replace taunt with power build up.. maybe? But leave some form of follow up. Just saying it would be pretty sweet. 3 2
... Posted April 4 Author Posted April 4 I take the lack of vehement opposition as the highest form of endorsement this subforum can provide! 4
Skyhawke Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Aren't Dominator secondaries tied to one of their available primaries? IE: Wouldn't a Claws assault require a Claws control primary to be available? 1 Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.

Championess Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I think the crickets are because anyone that enjoys playing doms seeing a suggestion for an assault set not being whips makes them sad and unresponsive. 4 1
Wavicle Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Pretty sure it would LOSE Follow Up for Power Up or Aim, or MAYBE get Follow Up but NOT Power Up. Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon

Expand No dominator assault set has aim. But yes, getting both follow up and power build up is unlikely. I'd prefer follow up, for variety spice reasons. Maybe taunt/confront could get replaced with a ranged single target immob like subdue or the one in thorny assault.
biostem Posted April 4 Posted April 4 (edited) You'd need at least 1 more ranged attack; Maybe use that cone that Widows get, and possibly the single ranged dart attack? As for power boost or the like - maybe tweak follow up so it gave slightly lower +dmg and +tohit, but then add an extra +special effect? It'd give the set its own character, IMHO.

Expand Need is a strong word regarding another ranged attack; Earth assault has exactly one ranged single target attack, just like Claws does right now. I certainly wouldn't say no to another ranged attack. Claws Follow Up unchanged + a good old fashioned Power Up (not Power Build Up, so only +special without +dmg) would be a really nice option too.

Dominators no longer get Power Boost, they get Power Up instead which explicitly has +Dmg. That's where the "Up" comes from.

Wavicle Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I think it's a pretty good idea, honestly. Something like this: 1. Unfocused Swipe (Ranged Swipe) 1. Strike 4. Spin 10. Focus 16. Follow Up 20. Reconstruction (If we're asking for Claws, why not Claws/Regen?) 24. Slash 28. Eviscerate 30. Shockwave Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon

RE your next post: I'm not sure a heal power is on theme for claws. I wouldn't say no, but I usually skip these kinds of powers on doms. Usually neutered (low heal amounts, long cool down) that it just makes more sense to chew a green candy.
