With the APP changes and Ageless; Doms are damage dealing Machines Commando. For example: within 15 seconds a Plant/Kin/Fire (with Full Fulcrum, Full SS, Hasten, Spiritual Core Paragon at 182% Global Recharge), Counting cast times and rounding them up dished out Roughly: 3,038 points of damage from just using Fireball and Fire Blast.

Now with my Plant/Fire/Fire (with hasten and Spiritual Core Paragon 180% of global recharge) starting off with Embrace of Fire my dom can dish out 2,650 points of damage from just using Fireball and Blaze.

Clearly here the controller comes out on top but one has to factor in all the quirks of being a Kin. You have to get SS stacked 3 times, you have to get Fulcrum at full 10 sometimes both tasks are difficult to achieve. The only other Dmg that you have is Roots (roots dealt 730 dmg within 15 seconds due to containment. Roots takes longer to deal that much dmg but bare with me) and Creepers which adds even more damage to the table.

Now with a Dom you have roots and Creepers just like a controller...but you also have RoF, Fire Breath, Fire Blast, Flares and Combustion at your disposal. Now tell me good sir how my Plant/Fire/Fire can't come close or match up with a controller in damage?

Oh, I understood you Talen but Blue....yeah lol. I admit they do keep you on your toes...I think everyone should start out with Elec control's gremlins...I was spoiled and started out with Singy. Animate Stone and Dark Servant will also spoil you.

A lot of people are lazy...(even I can be at times) Majority of players hate Jumping in and out of melee to do their cone attacks. I like Dark/MM because you can just sit there and spam cones hehe.

Very true, but with certain mobs it's not a guarantee. I know with Longbow, KOA, Malta, Nemesis, Council, Arachnos...heck anyone who has a DOT attack that manages to slip through your defenses or hits you right after you use Placate. It just makes it annoying at times when I'm trying to complete mishes with /+8 mobs solo.

Now granted in your situation on teams it's definitely doable but solo it's way more difficult.

Poison Trap is fixed now BUT you need to treat it like the traps version. The more procs and Global Recharge/Global Accuracy the better. My first choice would be the lockdown proc.

More like level 35. I have tested that combo. If you had Ageless to nullify your endurance woes you would be a BEAST. I destroyed this one Orange Mob. Smoke, Weaken, Envenom, Cinders, Hot Feet, Cages, Bonfire, VG toggle, Poison Trap again...most things don't even get a chance to live for more than 15 seconds with that combo. I would prefer Plant/ over fire though due to the dmg being high and you get less end suckage and more safety.

With Smoke and Weaken you can get up to -30 To Hit on a mob, adding in VG you get another -10 To Hit....sounds great but with Poison the biggest issue is survivability and end usage. These issues can be resolved with IO's or Incarni stuff if you have the time and money.

I not that familiar with slotting Gravity Anchor in creepers but I believe I was told that you are better off slotting for dmg procs. Hopefully someone can swoop in to answer your question. I wouldn't bother with slotting FF because the proc would not benefit you, it would just benefit the Invisible pet...which doesn't respond to + recharge anyway.


Oh God no, It only has a 10% chance to fire anyway so that means you would have to use Gale...A LOT. If you love kb, and you can handle scattering the mobs everywhere, if you liked getting kicked from teams, and risk getting taken out by a angry mobs, go for it...but if I see you on my team I will have to hurt you lol. Use FF + Recharge on other powers like Elec Control's Jolting chain.

Heck, I have controllers, dominators and defenders that can out damage my stalker sadly. People forget the relatively you can only do your AS from hide once per mob.

That is a LETHAL cone combo...kinda like Sonic/MM

Interesting, Now let me ask you this...why do you think stalkers are fine the way they are?

Maybe you should PM Arbiter Hawk about that Oath.

I hope so because besides lack of damage, lack of control is the other issue Gravity has.

I am SO looking forward to this change! I haven't played a Gravity toon in years!

Demon of the Hidden Mist!

Stalkers are not popular because they need fixing...the same thing applied to Doms before the buff.

I guess Controllers shouldn't get Dark Control or Dark Affinity because...well you know they're a hero AT and Heroes don't use Darkness that's an evil type thing right? Oh The same thing with Dark Miasma on Defenders and Dark Blast on.....
