Proliferation request: Earth Mastery APP for Doms

[Generator]

Hey there,

 

Any chance this could happen sooner than later?  I know it's not a 100% port of the Controller version, but I have to believe it would be less effort than going totally from scratch.

 

TIA,

Generator

The reason Earth Mastery wasn't ported to dominators when they were added to the game is that 3 of the 5 powers were already in dominator Earth Assault. At that time Seismic Blast didn't exist. You could make a case today for including Rock Shards and/or Upthrust in a dominator Earth Mastery, but there should also be some kind of AoE buff/debuff. Not sure what that would be.

   I think it's reasonably possible to hobble together powers from other sets to finally give Doms this option for an Earth Mastery.  The "obvious" auto-includes are Rock Armor, Earth's Embrace, and Upthrust.  That leaves 2 powers left and, as many people have noted in the past, the real issue is the complete and total lack of an Earth support set.  The team buff or enemy -Res power *would* be analogous to something in Defender Earth Affinity, filling the role of other epic powers Doms can get like Sleet or Tar Patch, except Earth Affinity does not exist.  This means we might have to get creative and make something up.  There's enough assets in the game to do this IMO, so a prototype skeleton of Dom Earth Mastery would look like:

 

Tier 1 - Geode (Toggle, Self +Regen/Recovery, Self Hold, Invulnerable)

 

Tier 2 - Magnitude (Ranged AoE, Single Hit, -Def, -Res, 100% chance to Knockdown)

 

Tier 3 - Rock Armor (Toggle, Self +Def: Smashing/Lethal)

 

Tier 4 - Earth's Embrace (Self Heal, +Max HP, Res: Toxic)

 

Tier 5 - Upthrust (Ranged AoE Dmg: Smashing, Single Hit, -Def, -Fly, 100% chance Knockdown)
