I think it's a problem if you can't attack properly for the first twenty levels of your toon.

[/ QUOTE ]Welcome to the world of non- /regens

It's a waste stacking up on DEF when you're based on a regen.


[/ QUOTE ]Hell no it isn't, multiple damage mitigation types are FAR more effective than single type.

However, combat jumping only offers 2.5% DEF, so it's not noticeable unless you have lots of other def powers.

It works great as a panic buttin, and I would take it with my MM if I could spare the slot. One thing to note is that intangibility enhancements do not boost the duration of the power, but rather the magnitude.

I'd say you'll want 2 acc 2 rech 2 stun or 1 acc 3 stun 2 rech in wormhole, since it's your only soft control power...

Regen is the best defensive set (well, DA is on paper, but in practise it isn't without heavy support), as well as having QR which means you don't run out of endurance easily, which makes it good offensively as well.

Another handy aspect is the toggledrop aspect of FB. Now it has a 33% (iirc) chance of doing a toggledrop, not sure how big this number will be in issue 7.

[/ QUOTE ]Propably 5%, since that's what brawl is dropping to.

Keep in mind that while empathy seems like healing, in the high levels and with good teams you end up being a boring buffbot most the time, as there is no need for heals.

5. Natural Spirit (level 50 spines/regen)


[/ QUOTE ]Nature, not natural

Do NOT slot it for damage, it does less than brawl. Give it 1/2 Acc, and 0/1 rech, it's good power to keep bosses/lt's out of play.

[ QUOTE ]

In any case, if you want to deal real amouts of damage you have to go for Battle Axe (pelase take into account that you may need stamina as this power set needs huge amunts of endurane).

[/ QUOTE ]EM is the heavies single target hitter, Axe is only the second best. And Fire beats axe for AoE.

Ice is best defensively apart for granite stone, and granite has heavy penalties on the offensive front. So I'd definitely go with ice.

Defenders have to take mental blast though, while doms get an attack that's at least sometimes useful... Also, I'd say the last power is better for doms than defenders...

Def's get some good powers earlier, but doms beat them in the end.

You're labeling mental blast as a GOOD attack, while saying mind probe is rubbish? Can I have some of that stuff you're smoking please?

Storm works very well with grav, but some of the powers take practise to use effectively.

[ QUOTE ]
Spines, no i can't really. well i can fit resilience at 49.

[/ QUOTE ]I could fit them all in with my spines, although resilience was at 49.

Any non-weapon power but brawl and the origin temp. power (yes, your secondary powers too) hide the weapon.

[ QUOTE ]
in issue 7 you can no longer dismiss a henchie and turn it into a ghost. they 'fixed' that.


[/ QUOTE ]I've done it, it is possible, you just have to be very, VERY fast.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd say Thermal's primary function is to heal. They don't really get any solid way of mitigating incoming damage. They just reduce how much damage someone can take (by 31.2%), which isn't enough to stop someone needing their HP replenished imo.

[/ QUOTE ]2 Heals
1 Resurrect
3 Defensive Buffs
1 Offensive Buff
1 Offensive Debuff
1 Offensive+Defensive Debuff.
9 More powers from primary, most offensive, none heals.

I really wouldn't class them as a primary function healer with those powers.

Not really spamming, as the hold recharge is fairly long, WAY longer than dom.

Nope, but that will bring me maybe to same strength than grav dom with GD, and when you give the dom sing (15 levels earlier than I get the PPP hold, I might add ), the dom still comes out on top. Plus, you can stack GDF with GD when you have it available and have to hold a boss quickly.

[ QUOTE ]

Even if the numbers are wrong and it lasts as long as GD I'll still be glum over the fact my main may have been way better as a /dark corruptor or mastermind. But I suppose I only have my obsession with the grav powerset to blame for that.

[/ QUOTE ]It's shorter duration than GD AFAIK. I know a dominator can hold a single target way better than MM, I can barely keep one application of PG perma slotted with 3 hold and 2 rech. I need henches to get a boss held.

[ QUOTE ]

I could include other AT's that can heal as well. Anyone that can increase a players hitpoint (NOT total hitpoints) is classed as a healer.

[/ QUOTE ]Depends on your definiton of a healer, I only class AT's/Sets whose primary purpose is to heal as healers, and there are none in CoV.

To sum it up, Crey is working on an armor wich is a rip off of Black Scorpion's Armor. The conceptor of Black Scorpion armor himself (we learn that it is not Black Scorpion who created the armor) is working for crey but is switching side and ally himself with Malta. Your new patron is not happy at all and things are going to heat up.


[/ QUOTE ]Actually, we've always known he stole the armor

[ QUOTE ]
Of course, the GD figure semi-doubles with singularity, if you can get it in place, but I believe grav with sing is the only Dominator that can stack two holds, correct me if I'm wrong.


[/ QUOTE ]You can stack multiple GD's

[ QUOTE ]

Petrifying Gaze [Acc/Acc/Hold/Hold/Rech/Rech]:
- Cost 7.80 (slightly less than GD)
- Recharge 6.59 (+100% recharge)
- Duration 34.59 (+40% duration)
- Act 1.67
(20% less accurate -- 73%)


[/ QUOTE ]There is NO WAY that duration can be right, it's most likely the pre-NCHN (Non-Controller-Hold-Nerf) duration.

Also, BFR has a HUGE animation time which severely limits it's usefulness as anything other than an alpha.
