Not many people remember Spinfest '07, ahh the memories.

My Priorities are going to be +HP +DMG +ACC +RECH hopefully I can manage them in that order...I haven't played with IO'ing since i12 so we'll see.

Also, if you're a new dominator player, I have to give one piece of advice. If your primary set has an AoE immobilize, unless you're plant I would seriously recommend skipping it, or at least putting it off until later. The damage they deal is utterly negligible (apart from plant, whose AoE immob does much more damage than normal), they provide next to no mitigation on their own, and they get the user a *lot* of aggro. The immob can be useful to prevent wandering after an AoE stun is used, but that's about it since doms don't get containment. If you take it for that purpose, don't use it willy-nilly - it's nigh useless on its own and *will* get you killed. Overenthusiastic use of the AoE immob is probably the number one cause of unnecessary low level dominator faceplants.

QFT

I c whut u did thar.

Regen Scrappers shouldn't be losing to Regen Stalkers in Duels...at least if the builds are equal moneywise.

Pain Doms are damn near impossible to kill but they don't always get kills.

Plus you just get to trow sharks...

no worse than facing a blaster or a SS type really

WHAT, No blaster holds unless they have the Devistation Proc. That has been nerfed to 4 seconds along with all the other holds if im not mistaken. Doms can use setbonus to boost that back up, blasters cant because it a proc, i dont think any bonuses from sets for blaster increase hold duration.

So to say its no different then a playing a blaster is obsured.

So that Freeze Ray, or Bitter Freeze Ray, Tesla Cage, and Char aren't holds? GG

...so that means an Ice/EM blaster can PB his three holds...o wait, he needs the proc right? GG

PB holds are nasty for toons that are not built for i14 PvP...ie toons with little to no hold resistance. From my experience if I get hit with one of those I'm pretty much toast as all my toons are SO'd atm, or are all i12 specced.

I vote for Rad/Dark simply cause on blueside I have a Dark/Rad that is my new project and it'd be interesting to compare the difference, with somebody. But yea both builds are very good.

I think Dark/Sounds more up your alley since you don't wanna have to buff, and dark comes with a heal and a rez, with a toggle PBAoE Stealth/Res shield, sounds like everything you want. Also you get Fluffy and an active secondary to compliment a very nice primary.

If you have space get your nuke, the big -def is just sexy imo.

Listen to what he said...he pretty much hit it on the effing head.

And hi Boomie.

Add to it the -Res from the AH proc, and I'm taking BS so I can hit them with Poisonous Ray, I think it'd be a solid build.

Once my game reinstalls I'm dueling you hellora, what dom are you using these days? Just Ri?

The only way they can escape being seen by her is if she runs past them and they have AS queued up, RTTC may not debuff them and the AS will still go off as long as it passes it's ToHit check roll and LoS checks.

You're right though, if they are just walking up to her to get an AS off and she's not moving RTTC should debuff them and make them visible by anybody with anything better than a Yellow running.

Yo what's up Jin? Long time no see. If you don't have any slots available 2rech 1rng is fine, but if you've got space I'd fully slot it out. Not sure how tight your build is.

I like the range for just placating toons with Perception before attacking.

A demo or fraps would be more useful.

As much as I hate to back Silver he has extensive experience with sonic, and I've also heard the same from other experienced sonics...granted these are people with high end builds so if you don't have the high dollar build then shout can't hurt you. If anything you could take something with more utility if DPS isn't something your striving for. If you want straight DPS then build for +Rech and leave shout out of the equation.

YMMV

I've already got a Grav/Elec in progress, but with the new changes, Earth/EA sounds really sexy to me. The lack of +ToHit is nearly nonexistent due to PB -Def plus Stoney is sexy, as is the new TF.

I've got a Mind/Psi Mind/Fire Fire/Psi but of all of them I think the Grav/Elec or Earth/EA will be my favorite.

There is also server ticks as well, so there is a multitude of things working against the strategy you're trying employ, clever as it is.

Antigonus hit it on the head though, once the initial check is done the only that can change is whether they stalker is hidden or not. I've begun many AS's that ended up being 200pt gut checks because I was hit during AS but it never interrupted just didn't crit.

At best you can hope for that I suppose, but interrupting AS would be a hulluva accomplishment and a credit to your ping and rig
