Help with Elec/Earth build please

Recommended Posts

Hey all. So I have been playing this build the last few days and I love it so far. I love the theme of it, and I have been farming S&L AEs at +0 without any issues. So I'm looking to see how far I can push this build and figured since I suck at making builds to begin with, it must be able to get much better. I searched the forums and I was not able to find a similar build proposal anywhere. Any help I could get to improve would be greatly appreciated. Here's the build from Pine's planner, this is the setup I am currently running with:

Here's my current Elec/Earth Dom. He is a blast to play but I will say by far my most hungry for purples build. The power truly is not realized on this build until you have full purples slotted up and at least some basic incarnate power. Once you have purples this build achieves perma dom at 25/30 while exemplared.  Very late blooming for me. I never see anyone in game play this combo and very few posts about it. Now that I've mostly completed my build I've wanted to post it. Some observations I had leveling that took my down a different path than you:

 

Tesla cage is such an amazing and important skill. The damage (when procced to the gills as below) is comparable to a fully slotted Stone Mallet, except has far more utility and IS a skill you want in your standard rotation against hard targets.

 

Immobilize I found to be pointless and I abandoned it entirely.

 

Stone Mallet is just less important than Tesla Cage and after I slotted TC I ran out of slots. The single target chain goes Tesla Cage, Heavy Mallet, Seismic Smash, Repeat.

 

Jolting chain I have slotted up for extra AoE. I just realized I could possibly drop it, slide some skills around, and pick up fissure instead, full respec may be coming up in my future, but the occasional build up is nice and an AoE knockdown that is always available is very fun.

 

Conductive Aura is a great place for the healing procs that this build has very little room for. Helps for some wild situations. Additional End Mod doesn't really do a whole lot, so 1 is sufficient.

 

In super jump i see you put knockback prot. I do not think we need that with perma-dom. I'm much more concerned about getting my recharge times reduced and that would quickly make gaps in my chain.

 

In the AoE paralyze i see you put the other Dom ATO. I did not find a use for that since it does not have -recharge duration. I would recommend replacing it. But we do agree the fire pet proc belongs there.

 

I have never taken spring attack but I certainly understand the desire for more AoE. My build is kind of a lock em all down and knock down one at a time sort of build. I could not STAND tremor's molasses slow activation. Now that it's been buffed it could be worth it but the damage/activation still isn't great in my opinion. If you want a more AoE focused build then by all means go that route, I'm sure it will be effective. After playing a PBAoE blapper I knew I couldn't make this dominator compare so I went a more single target route.

 

I would recommend dropping malaises damage proc from your confuse. The best part about Elec confuse is the lack of aggro generation. If you put a damage proc in there, that aspect is gone. Coercive persuasion is one of the best purple sets for a Dom in terms of set bonuses. Rechage time, big damage, and big defense.

 

Mud Pots, oh man. I went back and forth on that one for awhile. You will see mine is heavily frankenslotted with procs. This was a game changer and is worth the effort. The random knockdowns and fire damage are easily noticeable. The -res a little less so but this is a build that has very few places for -res and to get some passively is great!

 

Fissure, I really want to like fissure. But the epic mastery attacks are generally slightly better for a damage aspect. If the controls were more reliable I would definitely find a way for it to be in my build but currently with the low radius, low range I do not have it in my build. That said I am 85% in melee with this char.

 

I can't speak to the epic pool you took, but the reasons I took Mu were simple. Mu offers the best of everything I am looking for:

-The best res shield(S/L/E); I do not have capped defense or res, but both are rather high, I wanted layered defenses. I can tank out quite a few hits should any controls slip.

-The best AoE attack of the epic pools; I highly value attack duration and this one is great, as well as being energy damage and a high damage/activation time

-The pet. With the dom's insane perma haste recharge, we can make the epic pets permanent! The Mu pet is the only boss monster pet offered to Doms and actually is pretty great once perma.

-Bonus! a panic button where you cap your resistances (or nearly) and can go toe to toe with an AV while creeping up your hold mag/duration until it's smooth sailing.

-Bonusx2 - Mu offers more sapping! The build is actually relatively effective at sapping with my alpha incarnate choice and it is not even tier 4 yet. Even in an 8 man team I can sap mobs while they still have plenty of health making it an actual relevant control. I think the 3 skills doing the heavy lifting here against big groups are Ball of Lightning, jolting chain, and the aura.

 

You'll see a big lack of force feedback recharge proc. I had it slotted for awhile, but i don't like the random swinginess of depending on it for an attack chain and often the best benefit of it was the big long duration type things. I built so I don't have to worry about that (just remembering to hit haste). I hated dropping Dominate between missions and having to start from scratch.

 

Lastly, power boost. I wanted to like it, but it was more activation time in between me and smashing so I took it off, but it is certainly good.

Hey Nixilus, thanks for the reply and all the detailed suggestions. I don't get a lot of time to play/go through the forums but I just wanted to come in and let you know I saw your response and appreciate all the info. I will go through t in more detailed fashion this weekend and give you better answers to your information.

Fissure is great for Force Feedback... it's a good damage power, but it procs FF pretty much every time if used on a medium-sized spawn.

 

Jolting Chain, fully slotted with damage Procs, does about 200 damage to the first target hit, and 100 to the subsequent targets. While 100 damage doesn't look like good damage for an AoE power, it's actually solid for something with an 8 second recharge. Add in the -End and random -Recovery, which help keep mobs drained, and the guaranteed knockdown, and I love it as a 6-slotted power. But its base damage is low enough, that I would put in like 4 damage procs into it first, and then Accuracy, before I slotted up the damage.

 

Electric Fences is the place for the Dominator ATO, in my experience. One ATO, and one Accuracy/Endurance (or two if you can spare a 3rd slot), and it does solid work: helps with keeping mobs drained, puts out Orbs pretty regularly. Not almost guaranteed like the AoE Stuns and Holds, but at a good rate, and if you're fighting a large spawn you could have several Orbs out. You get way more Orbs out with this than by putting it in an AoE Hold, and Electric is a set that can generally handle the End drain of spamming an AoE Immob.

 

Do the Panacea and Preventive Medicine IOs have a chance to proc per target when used in Conductive Aura, or are they just automatic powers that check every 10 seconds like they are in Health?

I'm not able to open the build in Mids, so my comments are based just on what I can see.

 

 

- It looks like you took Mu Mastery, but left off one of the best powers: Power Sink. Power Sink on an Electric Dominator is a way to floor enemy endurance instantly. You can then keep it them there with Conductive Aura and your other Electric powers. With Power Sink you also likely won't need to worry about endurance/recovery ever. 

 

- I don't personally find Jolting Chain worth keeping. The animation time is too slow for the damage dealt. It deals damage equivalent to Electric Fences but takes almost twice as long to animate. I've been semi-publicly pushing the developers to change Jolting Chain's animation to the Electric Fences one. If that happened, it would make the power far more attractive. I just can't justify it for its current effect. You have tons of knockdown in /Earth Assault anyway.

 

- I doubt you need the full Fortunata Hypnosis slotting in Static Field. Just one accuracy is usually sufficient in this power. For whatever reason, it comes preloaded with extremely long duration and fast recharge. Altho you can technically have more than one Static Field patch up at a time, in practice this is rarely critical.

 

- I'd taken Hasten much earlier. Sometime prior to level 20 if you can.

 

- Spring Attack is not a power I find very useful. It's not really needed for Electric Control either, since it's a set that can sneak up on enemies easily with a ranged Confusion.

 

- I'd drop Assault from the Leadership pool. It's not benefitting you much.

Not sure, haven't noticed a larger uptick, probably can just slot them in the standard health. That was dumb of me lol.

Interesting. Typically I find I either want mobs shut down or they got mowed through quickly enough. I might swap some skills around and try it out. See new build below. I just noticed it also has a -fly, this skill just became a big recommend because /earth has a MAJOR issue dealing with flying enemies.

Huh I did not really consider it since I haven't had too bad of endurance problems. The main issue for me is, I want all the final skills of both my pools so I can only possibly take 4 skills from the patron pool. Should I drop the resist panic button for this? I'll try it out.

Jolting Chain

I'll post a new build that eliminates it. Figured out how to rotate slots around to drop it entirely and support a 6 slotted fissure instead without sacrificing anything.

full Fortunata Hypnosis slotting in Static Field

It pained me greatly to purchase those, but I do want them! For 1 reason, the 5th 10% recharge reduction set bonus. This placement allows me to franken-slot the single target hold and mud pots. Without, I would have to drop the franken-slotting on one of those. Otherwise yes I completely agree, it's performance is not enhanced at all beyond a single slot really.

 

On 8/20/2019 at 6:34 PM, oedipus_tex said:

Hasten much earlier

Yes, the build I posted I forgot I did not follow exactly in that order. I take hasten at level 10 I think.

Assault from the Leadership pool

I took it because there wasn't a single other useful power I wanted. The simple alternative is power boost.

I would drop the panic button power for this, yes. The panic button isn't actually very good on a Dominator. You could just eat 2 oranges. 

 

Power Sink on the other hand is a massive endurance drain that is auto hit. It's true the radius could be bigger, but even with a 10ft radius its very useful. Especially good combined with Electric Control for ensuring whatever you got close enough to melee with has zero chance to fight back. With this power + the rest of Electric (particularly paired with an Alpha slot that adds Endurance Mod) flooring the endurance of Elite Bosses is easily achievable.

Here is the new build:

 

Note: /Earth no longer has to be on the ground to attack, didn't see that in the patch notes! Great news. I am liking power sink. Thanks for the suggestion.

But...Jolting Chain is so much fun

 

And it's really good damage, I think. Due to the way it's coded, the procs have different chances to proc on the primary target and on the secondary, so when slotted with like 3-4 procs (including a Purple), it does about 200 single-target, and 100 AoE damage. 100 AoE damage isn't bad on an 8 second recharge power that also has great control effects, and 200 single-target damage with guaranteed knockdown isn't bad for a single target attack. The End cost isn't bad, and it helps an Electric Controller drain mobs. I'm very happy to have it on my Electric/Earth, and it's not like you're going to have such a full AoE attack chain without it, that you won't find time to use it and knock down everyone around you. Or around the target, but usually you'll be using it at point-blank range.

 

And... Jolting Chain is so much fun, too 😉
