Actually, I can notice a big difference between rooting/sleeping/confusing with domination and without.

Just try rooting a boss with domination and without. Chances of him resisting the root are about a dozen times higher normally than when you're using domination.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont know what you mean by root, apparently some plant dom hold, but there is no randomness involved. Domination doubles magnitude. Without it you will need two holds stacked to hold a boss. With domination it works with one.

Dominator / Will Team With Dominator
Name: Victor Warfield
AT: Magic Dominator
Primary: Mind control
Secondary: Energy assault
Level Range:now 15/1X (check my sig for my up-to-date lvl)
Other Comments: I give preference to having SG friends in teams, but I will happily team with any nice people regardless of AT or lvl.

I agree. There are mobs everywhere and fighting with them is very difficult to avoid unless were fighting in the sea.

I believe their hold duration is 75% from that of controllers. If im wrong, please correct me.

Yeah, domination is immense when it gets going.. After I have used telekinesis I just refill my end bar with domination in addition to its other uses.

Besides, iirc the difference was 75% for dominators, and I understand it mainly affects hold duration? Imo hold duration is not end all, be all thing.. I also understand that dominators get more effectiveness out of their secondary than controllers. Not much, but little.

As for the pets, I don't understand why people would want pets that much. We can all play Masterminds if we want Mind is great imo. Most controllerish of the primaries. I was even planning to get invoke panic from pools just cause I want as much control as possible and I had good experiences with it playing my tank.

ps. These forums are functioning somewhat randomly these days.. Gazillion "forum not found" messages..

Nope, which is a shame as it's possibly the best primary.

Mind/energy here, currently lvl 14. At first I was little disappointed about the short hold durations and lack of damage (and missing build-up, power burst in early game etc ) but Im starting to see things will change when I get properly enhanced up. Plus I just picked up telekinesis and finally have a power that at least feels like one a real dominator would use. TK makes me feel like Magneto! (regardless how useful it is in actual combat)

EDIT: note that Ive changed my mind (pun not intended) a little after my first post in this thread.

[ QUOTE ]

It doesn't really matter how you slot it for the Hami raid as the effect that it's useful for in that circumstance (increase of recharge rate) is unenhanceable

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe its best to slot speed boost for recharge then so it can be stacked with as many people as possible.

Yeah, ok, I got confused cause you said "you" and answered to my post. Thought you meant me

I had this when making the Sanity Inc Bar

Had to search through the entire list just to find a desk that would take the bottles and stuff on top of it. Think it was one of the small brown ones in the end.

[/ QUOTE ]

Suprisingly many of the desks now accept stuff on top of them, its just the aiming process thats hard. Rotating view so that you are looking directly down at the table helps immensely.

Just like the telepads that seem unclickable until you rotate view downwards.

[ QUOTE ]

Luckily I haven't suffered from any "base kicking" or "base rubberbanding" or base "holes in the floor" since I added an extra 512MB of RAM to my PC (taking me to a Gig).


[/ QUOTE ]
Lucky for you but I dont think its that. I have 2 Gigs.

Something i've noticed that some people seem to ignore is that while complaining that they shouldn't have to respec to play PvP and shouldn't have to select certain powers to defeat stalkers that the very same stalkers that they find so difficult have done exactly that. They have respecced for PvP and they have chosen specific powers to enable them to PvP.
An example - "Why should i have to choose tactics for PvP when it isn't all that useful in PvE?" some may ask. The answer is ... because Stalkers have chosen Stealth specifically for PvP when it is all but useless for them in PvE.

[/ QUOTE ]

True as pancakes. They have taken a pool that is of little to no value for them in PVE. I consider it only just that to fight them effectively the others should be expected the same. Not that I even consider tactics necessary to fight stalkers.

[ QUOTE ]

By the time its live should have enough to upgrade, woot.

[/ QUOTE ]
And im sure its bugged as can be and we lose all our items
Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest. Just like the one of the leaders of SG not able enter his own base..When I get inside, getting kicked outside at random intervals..The telepads being unclickable until you do tricks with camera angles.. Having items I place turn invisible until I relog.. Having the names in the coalition baselist on the portal look like this:
Your Base
The
The
The
The
forbidden (you do not have permission to enter The's base)
forbidden (you do not have permission to enter The's base)
Renegade {half of the name missing}

It is possible, but if I recall correctly, only on objects from the "desks" menu. Or that menu with most of the tables on it. You cant put stuff to some of the counters.

How to do it: Choose your table or desk, pick up the little object you wish to place, walk close, and rotate your view downwards (middle/right mouse button and rotate I believe). Now aim the little item so that it coincides with the grid of the table. Should work. The catch is indeed that you cant put stuff on some of the tables regardless how obvious it looks. Try basic white table at first.

didnt i say Silver?

hi hammer btw

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, and Im still not getting what you mean (In case you havent noticed, Im Finnish I might not understand everything you say )

And hi Plight

[ QUOTE ]

The important thing is that you can still maintain aggro. I think you need to slot it with an increase taunt duration but your taunt should have recharged before the taunt wears off.

[/ QUOTE ]
I highly doubt this one really.

For the record im getting both back in next respec, taunt and provoke. We certainly are on the verge that provoke is more useful than tanker taunt. Devs, wake up!

There are a couple of Super Uber IoPs available,apparently.
The True Furnace: (clicky): small portable sun that gives +1,000,000 base Energy and radiates +10 End for all SG members while in SG mode. Plus it looks nifty.

The True Book: complete chronicles of Rularuu that give all SG members 20% Debt Protection while in SG mode.

Those are pretty well worth it... again, only one each per server, though, and you'd better be prepared to defend them if you get them.

[/ QUOTE ]
What possible use is a million energy? I'd settle for having 500 control..

Just a little note, I remember there might have been some bug originally that made the stalker get a lot of aggro after using AS - well I certainly have not noticed anything with my just-started stalker.
Soloing one of my missions, theres for example 4 mobs in front of me. I circle so that I approach them from behind their backs, and then AS the closest one. The next one turns and aggroes me, but the other two continue staring to the distance regardless of being just about 7 feet away from me. Apparently line of sight has some meaning in this game. More often than not I have managed to avoid aggroing extra mobs by placing my approach carefully. I do hope that they'd make the mob spawns a bit more dispersed..

Im sure its been mentioned somewhere else, but Ill try:

Make a subdirectory called "client_demos" to your coh directory and copy the cohdemo-files there.
Then in the coh directory make a shortcut with the link
"C:\city of heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -demoplay x.cohdemo

Where you substitute your own city of heroes directory on the front and the cohdemo-file you want to watch in the place of x.cohdemo.
Then, when you are not running COH, clicking the shortcut should launch coh and play the demofile. Press Esc to exit the player iirc.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

lmao I thought this feature was already on - no wonder people have been complaining.

A base with reclaimator and telepads is nice to have to escape the camping - except these days when the base has started to kick me out whenever it feels like it.

[ QUOTE ]

But the recharge boost is immense! It gives you perma hasten again! How can you possibly complain about that!?

[/ QUOTE ]

It does? I hadn't noticed. All I focus on these days is that it doesnt seem to boost my dull pain or unstop noticeably, so that the fighting rhýthm would actually change. Having couple of speed boosts even. I tend to think in threshold values. If somethings not good enough, might as well be nonexistent. SB does help with my normal attack chain though. (without hasten I have to wait about 3-4 seconds after each completion of my attack chain..) But since I dont do any damage these days thats not a great thriller either. Im just tauntbot these days.

Not that I don't appreciate being boosted.. sigh. I just wanted to be self-sufficient. Call it tanker .. pride. Or something.

As for complaining, imagine being speed boosted in a blue cave with <10 fps. Nothing made me more mad.

Lets get back on track, shall we. Im not sure that I can be there for this raid, but Ill try to be.

TG, you have my respect for trying in the first place.

silver pve'er we should call u (jk)

Sorry?
I didn't mean to say being without aim is the best way. I meant to say being without it does not equal being gimped.
Im getting it, make no mistake about that. It just wasnt first on my lists.

[ QUOTE ]

Finally a chance to speed boost lots of people and not get any complaints \o/


[/ QUOTE ]

People complain when you speed boost them!?

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to, when I had my graph-lagging crappy computer, speed boost effectively removed me from combat as I couldnt do anything when I was busy banging my head on the cave walls. Regen boost wasnt worth it.

Im still not entirely fascinated by it even when I no longer have the graphical issues.

The consensus is that boxing is better but I have never got kick.

[/ QUOTE ]

Iirc boxing doesnt make you put your weapon away if you have one, but kick will. Im not 100% sure though and I dont have fighting pool myself.

[ QUOTE ]

The point is that its not uncommon for every one of your stalker-countermeasures to be either impossible or impractical, or even unreasonable (telling people to go respec is just silly).

[/ QUOTE ]
They might be for a solo player (your arguments are justified), but having a team in PvP zone is not an unreasonable demand in my opinion. And I feel that is the most important factor.

..I'm still exploring how to have this fun in PVP myself..
