Slow set can definitely get more benefit from Musculature but if you want more damage potential, you can combine several damage procs + Musculature. It doesn't have to be damage procs. You can put chance to hold or chance to heal self without losing much +damage %.

The thing with damage proc is that some enemies you need to use 4 powers to finish off but when the damage proc happens, you may only need to use 3 powers. For example, my Earth Assault Dominator needs to use two attacks to finish off a +1 minion (like CoT Mage). But when Mako proc happens in Seismic Smash, I can one-shot the minion.

But like I said, to get the most out of Musculature, you need a much different build because most people don't fully slot Slow set in Ice Blast. Now with Musculature, you can make up the loss of +damage from alpha while enhancing the slow effect in each ice blasts. The reason is that a full range set like Thunder Strike already pushes damage % so high already. You don't get that much +damage from alpha unless with high level tier.

I find spamming Bolt so annoying. I tried in Radiation Blast on Corruptor and I still find the damage too low.

AH proc can definitely improve your DPS but I would put it in several human attacks so you don't have to keep spamming Bolt just to wait for it to proc. Changing from 1.5s recharge to 3s isn't going to be that different. You at least get better base damage from spamming Bolt and Gleaming Bolt.

I can't afford Apocalypse damage proc so I won't even go into it.

My favorite attack in human form is actually Radian Strike. It's fast and does decent damage.

Back when they first introduced AH procs, I tested it with Corruptor Trapper. I vaguely remember AH procs from two Acid Mortars stack. Acid Mortar is interesting because two acid mortars count as two "different sources". So potentially you could have two Acid Mortar debuffs + two AH procs debuff. I can't remember if I did the test thoroughly enough or not. I actually only have experience with AH procs in Acid Mortar and Merc MM. I know for a fact that AH procs do not stack between you and your pets.

Epic sets just make Patron sets look really really bad (in general).

I've tried Willpower many times and it is excellent on Stalker. Willpower is great because you have a mix of resistance and defense, a single heal and set bonuses make Willpower a whole lot better.

I've heard a lot of complaints on Regen because Stalker's has low HP cap so you don't get as much "regen" effect as Scrapper and Regen has no psionic protection while Willpower is decent psionic resistance.

LOL I got that feeling last night when I played my PB. I used Solar Flare... and then where did everyone go?

You may need some break from this game. I've taken 3 breaks already and now I am still very addicted.

You can try other games and I bet eventually you'll come back to this game (again and again!).

By the way, why is Mind Troller or Dom "boring"? lol

Fine. I'll suck myself!

That's why you increase recharge so the "slow firing" blasts hit harder each time since PB already has quite a few attacks already. This is not a nerf on PB. You hit harder but recharge a bit slower. If you've played old Energy Assault on Dominator, you would know what I mean.

Oh, I have no experience on Nova form at all. It was only a question, not a statement that Human may deal more damage than Nova form. If I remember correctly, some experienced PB player said Human can deal more damage than Nova form?

I've made second Gravity Dominator now. One is lvl 43 Grav/Icy and one is lvl 40 Grav/Fiery (all ranged damage using Lift, Fire Blast and Blaze).

Wormhole is a very interesting power and it can be quite satisfying if you can wormhole a group to a corner and unleash all your aoe on them.

The problem wit WH is that you don't always have that special corner to teleport the foes to and if you don't use it out of sight, you can get hurt a lot before the mobs even get teleported.


I basically only enjoy my Gravity dom when I am the leader and with a few friends. This way they can wait for me to tp foes to a corner. WH is not very team-friendly if you have brute/tanker that run in first to herd/group mobs closely together.


Gravity also has two very badly designed powers: Propel (for Dominator) and Dimension Shift. 9/10 times DS is just counter-productive because teammates are so confused by why mobs are "unaffected" and you spend more time trying to find targets that are not phased. Another problem with DS is that the mobs actually "GAIN" something during phase shift. They still regenerate health/endurance! The net gain is not in your favor.


It would be so nice if they can redesign Dimension Shift and make it like Ice Patch but instead of knocking down, it knocks up! Mobs walking through the Gravity Patch has a chance to get knocked up/lifted up. That will make Gravity set so much more interesting. Or if they really don't want to change the phase shift part, they should put huge -regen in DS so the mobs that get phased can't regenerate health.

Your description = Bane soldier. :P

Can you believe Spec-Op's Stealth gives 2% defense? I just checked it recently in game because I can't figure out the design behind Stealth on Spec-Ops when the stealth level is so low (they get attacked before even get close enough to use Riflebutt) and stealth slows them down a bit and Stealth doesn't give them stealth strike.

Yahoo!! 2% FTW!
