Quote:All depends on your power sets and how you set them up.Originally Posted by Silverado
These so called "Super Permadom 2" and "Super Permadom 3" levels are far from practical and usually result in a waste of recharge and loss of other potential advantages, just a FYI.
As for my Super Permadom 3 being impractical......far from it. But to each their own. -
Subjective: so far I've not gotten any negative powers from this, and the once I have gotten appear to be functioning as they should. Also as Back Blast has stated if you do get a recharge bug, using walk can stack these.

Subjective:
Show off is a bit faster then it should be.
Love the costume transformation emotes, the Energy Morph is definitely the Terminator timewarp; nice touch! Dimension Shift I can see using for a few characters. -
Only effect I want to know is the power increase a Dom can get from going Incarnate.

Heavy damage? From the Greens?
And don't the greens heal the Hamidon if you try it like that?
The massive damage that Dechs refers to is likely the Hamidon damage itself. Pop EOE and let the tank/brutes take the aggro while everyone pounds hami down. Hami goes down and takes the goo with it leaving only the greens. -
I should be available for this barring last minute complications. Either as a blaster or dominator.

Quote:Nice job, took us about an hour and 10 minutes or so tonight but that's ok since it was a Mo win.Originally Posted by Desum
This is the latest Master of Lady Grey challenge on Liberty server. We finished the challenge in 34 min and 8 seconds. We could have cut corners, but I think we did excellent. I was truly thinking the fix would be implemented Thursday or this morning's (Friday) impromptu Maintenance. Since the fix has not been patched, we decide for another go and go as fast as we could.

Quote:If you recharge dom before the crash the bar really won't even budge. Dom will discharge again and you just keep right on dominating.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
Domination does not crash if it is activated again before it runs out. This is permadom in a nutshell.
(To be precise, it probably does crash, but Domination keeps the Domination bar full. Thus, as long as you are in Domination during the crash, it drops to 0 then refills instantly. This is probably not even noticable) -
Quote:This. It is hero-villain specific.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
I think both hospitals work, but you have to be a hero to get credit on hero side and a villain for credit on the villain side. Same thing for the Vaults in Pocket D. If I step into the wrong one, I don't even see the DJ icon.

Quote:Any hot spots in the Vanguard base were long since fixed. You can log out in their hosp and only get progress for the hospital DJ, not Hospital DJ plus vanguard DJ.Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
Haven't checked in ages, but I think the Vanguard ones should still be counting double jobs:
- Vanguard and SG Portal
- Vanguard and Hospital
- Vanguard and Patrol
Can only go for one of them though. -
Quote:Have them petition it but also recheck their badge lists and make sure it didn't "Stealth appear". Happens sometimes.Originally Posted by Angry_Angel
*Master* of Barracuda also still works.. kinda. Ran it last night. Of those who didn't already have the badge, some received the badge - some didn't. Just a heads up for anyone who gets to the end and doesn't badge, I've never known any of our teammates not to get it if they send in support tickets.

[list][*]Fixed a bug that caused many critters with ranged attacks to change behavior and prefer melee range, including Rikti Drones and most Mastermind pets. Critters should behave as they used to again.

The HP bonus issue has been around for a long time and the badges were all recently lowered as part of the "Great Badge Change" a couple of issues back.
I'd rather see the extra HP issue resolved then another badge adjustment. -
Quote:So these totals of yours are IO set plus hasten, correct?Originally Posted by Chrome_Family
In my experience 3 slotted Hasten + 74 global recharge. = permadom.
My Mind/nrg has 155% recharge (with Hasten 3 slotted) is perma
My Plant/Fire has 150% (with Hasten 3 slotted) is perma
My Fire/Psy has 144% (with hasten 3 slotted) is just barely perma.. if I blink she lose's it.

Quote:Those 3 extra in hasten shave a few more seconds off the recharge of hasten. If u can manage it with 3 recharge, that's fine.Originally Posted by Silas
Also, I'm pretty sure its 125% global recharge for Hasten-less Permadom.
123 (assuming Nericus is right) is the amount of global recharge you need for Permadom without Hasten. At that level of global recharge you've got Perma-Hasten anyway but it's nice because you can go afk with Dom on auto and it won't drop.
70% recharge and 6 slotted Hasten is the bare minimum, but you'd be much better off 3 slotting Hasten and aiming for 75-80%. The last 3 slots in Hasten are of really, really little value so you'd get more Permadom breathing room with more global recharge, (which will also help the recharge on Hasten).
And yes, 123% is right. Though 125% can be a bit better. -
Quote:Like the old saying goes: "If it's not broke, don't fix it."Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
I could probably find room to bump it to 123%, but not interested as the build I have on my fire/psi is fine for farming.

Quote:70% recharge from IO plus 6 slot hasten is the beginning of Permadom.Originally Posted by UnicyclePeon
Is that 123% recharge bonus one that must be maintained at all times? I assume so. If my Hasten isn't perma, then the question becomes, assuming Hasten is on AUTO, how much additional global recharge is needed such that the overall effect is that Dom is perma?
In other words, the answer isn't 123 - 70 since the 70 from Hasten isn't always applied.
Non-perma-Hasten + X% global recharge = PemaDom. How much is X?

Quote:Your build shows promise, as a benchmark for you to use I shall now once again present the three stages of Permadom Dragonball Z style.Originally Posted by Willowpaw
I know it isn't as important an issue now that Dominators have been buffed, but I would still be interested in knowing whether or not this plan for my Plants/Energy Dominator has achieved permadom. And if so, if it has been achieved at my current level (47).
I'm still trying to get the 5th Malaise's Illusions for my Seeds, 2 more Posi's for Dark Obliteration, and 3 more Expedient Reinforcements (once for the Fly Trap and one for the Seer, which would be slotted come 48.) Those just are not available at any price right now.
So, did I make it, or am I still lacking in the recharge department for permadom solo? (I know I get real close on teams with SB or AM, and have had it stacked 2 to 3 times a few times).
Also, what is needed for perma Hasten? Do I already have that now, or is it even possible?
Anyway, here is my plan in Willowpaw Format (Power/Enhancers/Slotting Levels). All of the generics are level 50. I can't even begin to name the levels for all of the individual set pieces. But I don't think that matters for this question.
01 => Power Bolt - Kinetic Crash(6) - 1/3/5/17/27/29
01 => Strangler - Neuronic Shutdown(5) - 1/3/5/7/7
02 => Bone Smasher - Stupefy(5) - 2/9/11/11/15
04 => Roots - ACC(2) - 4/9
06 => Air Superiority - Crushing Impact(5) - 6/19/21/23/31
08 => Seeds of Confusion - Malaise's Illusions(5) - 8/17/42/42/42
10 => Swift - RUN - 10
12 => Hasten - RCH(3) - 12/13/13
14 => Fly - FLY(2) - 14/15
16 => Combat Jumping - Winter's Gift: Slow Resistance / Karma -KB - 16/19
18 => Hurdle - JMP - 18
20 => Stamina - ENM(2) - 20/21
22 => Power Blast - Kinetic Crash(6) - 22/23/25/25/27/29
24 => Power Push - Kinetic Crash(6) - 24/36/37/37/37/39
26 => Carrion Creepers - Crash(6) - 26/31/34/34/36/36
28 => Total Focus - ACC / DMG - 28/34
30 => Vines - Neuronic Shutdown(5) - 30/31/43/46/46
32 => Fly Trap - Expedient Reinforcement(4) / Call to Arms(2) - 32/33/33/33/43/43
35 => Power Boost - RCH - 35
38 => Power Burst - Kinetic Crash(6) - 38/39/39/40/40/40
41 => Dark Consumption - ACC / ENM - 41/50
44 => Dark Obliteration - Positron's Blast(5) - 44/45/45/45/46
47 => Summon Seer - Expedient Reinforcement(4) / Call to Arms(2) - 47/48/48/48/50/50
49 => Super Speed - RUN - 49
Enemy: "Why did you stop fighting, tired already?"
Dominator: "Nope we'll get back to the fight, but you need to learn things about Permadoms starting with the basics. This is my normal state of being..."
Dominator powers up: "This is a permadom; 70% recharge from IO sets and 6 slot hasten. Your build might be a bit clunky and you risk frequent power crash but congratulations you are a permadom!"
Dominator powers up again: "This is what is known as a Permadom that as Ascended past being a Permadom, or just call it Permadom 2. 90% recharge from IO's and 6 slot hasten is the minimum for this but you get permadom plus permahasten, a tighter build and fewer power crashes.......but just wait.....it gets even better!"
Scene cuts to Recluse and his goons:
GW: "Has he really found a way to surpass an Ascended Permadom? Is that possible?"
Black Scorp: "Bah! He's just bluffing!"
Mako: "Yeah, he'd be what: 'Double Ascended'? Big deal"
Dominator starts powering up: "AND THIS.......!"
Lord Recluse: "What the.....what's he doing?"
Dominator: "GOES......EVEN......FURTHER BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Insert 10 minuts of gratuitous yelling as the dominator energizes while everyone is too dumbstruck to do anything.
Dominator: "Sorry that took so long, but it takes a bit of time to power up like this. In this form, 123% recharge from your IO's and you can throw hasten out the window, and have a razor edged build. This is what I call a Super Permadom THREE"
Only way to go past this would be to do the Fusion Technique or wait for the Incarnate levels.
Have fun! -

Quote:My stone tanks and brutes have 90% run bonus, maxed armor, approx 75% global recharge and are super strength. Each has a melee power all slotted with Hecatomb and a damage proc in some other attacks for some extra punch.Originally Posted by Dante
I quite enjoy my Stone/SS Tanker. He can hold aggro and deal out a fair lick of damage too. Rage does help a lot however, unless you have a lot to throw at recharge bonuses, the -65% recharge debuff from Granite will make sure you can kiss goodbye to perma-rage.
Of course, you'll be waiting till 38 for any AoE damage but fortunately, the knockdown can give plenty of time to breathe and for your regen to tick over too. And don't forget, the -runspeed of Rooted is another thing that you might find annoying. I tend to do most of my fighting in the regular Stone Armours and I do pretty well. But I tend to think of Granite as my 'high level, big team, huge threat' mode.
Unfortunately, whatever you throw your inf at overcoming - Run Speed, Recharge or Damage, it's pretty hard to counter all of them unless you're absolutely loaded. But then that's the price for being one of the hardest things to kill in game.
Quite delightful........and expensive.

Super-strength/Stone armor. Rage boosts damage by about 80% if I remember the numbers right, leaving a 50% damage boost after factoring in Granite's damage penalty. Of course there is the rage crash......

Quote:This. My triformer PB and WS have Stamina and a proc in Stamina and each form power, thus regardless of what form they are in there is one +end proc always running. My 4 other Khelds are dual formers and use the proc also. Quite handy to have.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Every time you activate dwarf, and once every ten seconds while in dwarf form, you will have the chance to gain 10 endurance.
You can actually repeatedly toggle on and off for extra chances at the +end. -
Too many people stress out when someone dies.
Too many people decide to give the person that dies nothing but harassment, especially if it wasn't their fault. Mission 2 of the ITF: ambushes that spawn when a cyst is destroyed can spawn down the tunnel and run to the party or they can spawn on top of the party or some of its members. So let's say an ambush spawns on top of someone and they can't get away from it and get killed, and then certain party members start gettting snarky either in Team chat or on their special TF channel. The person defends themselves from the snarkiness only to be booted from the aforementioned channel and future runs. Nice gestapo mentality.
Or someone would rather spend time loking for faults in others and accuse others of doing nothing when they may be victims of lag spikes or PC problems, so they get all uppity and harass the person. Not people I'd want to team with.
Some people would like to dissect other people's characters and then demand that other people will rebuild their toons to the star holders EXACTING specifications IMMEDIATELY or they will be banned from all future runs. Try again, precious. If any no talent, unskilled, arrogant primadonna thinks I or anyone else should burn a respec to satisfy their pathetic ego, they are sorely deluded.
Someone lags out, comes back dead.
Someone gets a case of terminal stupidity and does Leeeeeeeeroy Jenkins and charges with their squishy into a mob and gets killed. Or alternatively they decide they need to go afk and park their blaster where the Archnos Flyer is sure to see it and thus get blasted.
Sometimes an enemy delivers a lucky shot that does two damage types and manages to get past the "no one shot kill code". An unfortunate bit of luck there that can't be helped.
Or: "Oh you're on a Kheld you will never run with us, Khelds stink blah blah blah". Looks at my 6 khelds all with triple Mo.......guess they don't stink as much as some think. Still AT bigotry can discourage someone from playing.
The team NEEDS a stone brute/tank.......ok granted that granite armor is nice but it is possible to win a Mo with a non granite brute/tank.
The team NEEDS a specific AT/powerset......anyone that constantly demands a specific formula of AT's may need to rethink their plan
Any badge in the game that is so dependent on teamwork. kindness of others, skill of others, etc. needs to be rethought.
I would rather face an army of Kronos titans on my squishiest character stripped of all enhancers and debuffed then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather be stripped of all flight/travel powers and face a fleet of Arachnos Flyers strafing me then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather solo a Hami raid then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather be on my squishiest character with no enhancers and debuffed facing all of the Giant Monsters at once then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather be on my squishiest character with no enhancers and debuffed facing all of the INCARNATES then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather spend time trying to tie Lusca's tentacles into bow knots then seek a new Mo badge.
I would rather watch Highlander 5: the Source which was worse then Highlander 2 then seek a new Mo badge.
