Dominators do more damage...
-
I made my first Praetorian a few days ago and he is level 12. I really want to get him out of Praetoria but since i know nothing about the zone I really dont have any quick xp knowledge.
I mean regular world hero side its straight to the sewers.. Then Kings Row for radio missions.. Jet Pack.. to Steel Canyon.. a few Posi's then a Synapse.. BANG im level 20 onto Talos Island and smooth sailing from there...
On Gold Side I have no idea what to do. Is there a TF or Trial I should be doing to get some nice levels to get me to 20 so I can get my Hero Dom into the regular world so I can team with my friends ?? -
I hate that power. Its one sole reason I WILL NOT play Dark Melee until they get an alternate animation for it. I want the one that the Ghouls in Praetoria have.

Hey if you aint playing a Dom... Shame on you..

Oh, I know. My second 50 was a Dom and that's still one of my most played characters. But, nearly everyone seems obsessed with Fire/Kin and Ill/Rad Controllers, so it came as a shock to me. -
Quote:Yes its real very very real. Dominators are one of the games best kept secrets. many people hwo play a lot on blueside have never played a dominator and many people remember all the complaints from YEARS ago about how dominators functioned especially when domination was not active making Perma-Dom almost a necessity.Originally Posted by FizRep
Color me SHOCKED Doms got the 3rd highest AT made in Praetoria.
Is that for real?
They have been completed changed and not even recently.. they were changed a while back and now Perma-Dom while still very desireable is not longer a necessity. Contrary to popular belief Dominators are the damage class redside and the combination of controls and damage are very lethal. -
Quote:I was on a TF with an Ice/Thorns yesterday and was like WOW !!! It was tearing stuff up.. I might go that direction as well. Earth/Fire is getting made today.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Rather than Ice/Ice, Ice/Thorns might be worth a look at. I've a baby one and they're rather enjoyable. The fact the Cone attack is much more melee orientated is very nice (one issue I had with Ice/Psi Assault was the average damage and the annoyance of having to reposition to use Psi Scream well).
Very late blooming though since two of your best attacks are the last two you'll get (same problem with Fire/Thorns).
Earth/Fire is always a beast, just a combination of the best AOE control and the best damage, not much synergy but there doesn't need to be.
Of the ones listed I'd go Earth/Fire, then Fire/Thorns then Elec/Psi (altisis is fun). -
I am going Earth/Fire.. with the new Fire APP it will be a winner !!!! I am also looking at Ice/Ice just because.. well I have everything else with Ice/Something why not a Dom..

Seriously is this a good set up ?? Im looking for something new..

Quote:Most tanks do not solo extremely well. They can.. they just dont do it as well as other melee AT's lole Brutes or Scrappers. Tanks IMO tend to shine best in teams where they can take and control all the aggro and the tanks teamates wipe out the enemy.Originally Posted by Zercon
Thanks for the reply, i am looking all over the forums sadly a lot of it I just dont understand with all the number totals and such. Still trying to decide how to go about this seeing that I want to be able to take all kinds of damage and have ok soloing abilities seeing that I find myself to be solo more often than not.
I think you will find that any tank set well built will be able to deal with a large number of foes and take lots of damage. This the basis of how the AT is built. Massive Hit points. The highest resist caps and many sets with solid defense built in or the ability to build it with IO's.
If you are new to the AT I would probably recommend either Shield or Willpower as sets because Shield is easy to cap defense to all positions and Willpower because of its ability to regen health with foes in range. -
In all honesty everything I have I like and I enjoy playing. Every character I play for me is unique, has their own background. a reason why they are the way they are and why they play the way they play.
Fire/Fire tanks.. still fun..
Nrg/Nrg Blaster.. still fun
Elec/Elec Blaster...still fun
Rad/Rad defender.. still fun
Inv/Nrg tank// still fun.. -

Quote:Thank you.. In the standard game ( not things like MoSTF's etc etc ) You can tank anything with anything. Every set decently built will work well. I have played everything except Stone to 50 and I built my wife's level 50 Stone/SS tank so I am well aware of how Stone works.Originally Posted by New Dawn
As someone who plays every type I really couldn't give a poop which one I am on. It all doable.
There has been nothing yet that I havent been able to tank. Obviously some tanks handle somethings better than others but I can tank everything. -
Quote:Three Slots in Hover.. Three in Swift.. Airhammer is NRG/NRG blaster and will blap with the best of them...Originally Posted by Supermax
That won't work for me. I play blasters as blappers for the most part, so hover is way too slow.
-
You cannot take apart and recombine components. Once they are made they are made like any other IO. You can however construct more than one and swap them out. You could make a Spiritual and make a Musculature and swap them back and forth. There is a five minute cooldown timer on swapping.

Psuedo KD. Best thing to happen to my RL firend's en/en blaster.

Get Hover....
Hover above.. Shoot down.. Knockback is now Knockdown.. Problem Fixed... -
Quote:Rangle I have a pretty decent Ice Tank. Ice is a defense heavy build obviously, but also has great tools with Hoarfrost to heal and boost hit points ( basicaly Dull Pain ) and Hibernate which will keep you alive. I think my Hoarfrost is very close to perma actualy..Originally Posted by Rangle M. Down
Pretty much what Severe said.
I'll also add that as someone with numerous tanks it generally comes down to what tank I'm in the mood for, or what tank I think can handle the particular task at hand. Some situations I'll bring one of my Fire tanks, others might be better suited to my Dark, Stone, SD, ELA, or Inv. tanks. Some times it's just a coin toss as to which one I play.
The only one that I find wanting at times is my Ice tank. I think that has more to do with me not having figured out the Ice set well enough in my mind, as I've seen some Ice tanks do things that have left me scratching my head going "why can't I do that with mine".....
My secondary is Stone which helps alot because it has great mitigation. -
In all honesty you should be able to tank anything with any well built tank. I dont believe there is a be all, end all tank build.

Quote:You dont need 5 LoTG's and 5 Sets of Purples to get Perma Dom.Originally Posted by crayhal
Perma Dom = 5 Purple IO sets + 5 LotG 7.5s
Assuming 1 purple IO recipe can be bought for 50 mil:
1 crafted purple IO = 50 + 3 + 1 = 54 mil
1 set = 54 x 6 = 324
5 purple sets = 324 x 5 = 1,620,000,000 or 1.6 billion inf
5 LotG7.5 crafted = (100 + 6 + 1) x 5 = 535 mill
Total of: 2,155,000,000
Quick summary: with billions of inf.
I have two dominators with Perma Dom and neither have 5 LotG's on each and 5 sets of Purples. -
I like my nuke with the crash they way it it thank you. Very strong, Very Powerful. Crashes dont bother me.. Thats what inspirations are for.
-
So far it looks like Cardiac and Musculature are the best options for my blasters.

In all honesty.. I dont want to have to kill stuff.. I just want em.. ill pay real world cash !!!!!!!
NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! -
I use the alpha slot to shore up any weaknesses I might have or to totally top off something.
I really dont want to build anything around the Apha Slot because of I exemp down then I am hampersing myself.
In all honesty I have found that End Redux is the one that does more for my characters. Tanks and Brutes with toggles and attacks floating around 75-80% end redux ?????? You know how much that helps ???
