Build question for my Ice/Energy Dominator
Submitted by Brugdor on Tue, 02/14/2006 - 1:23am.
Ok, here is the current build I was going with
Name: Orgburd
Level: 40
Archetype: Dominator
Primary: Ice Control
Secondary: Energy Assault
---------------------------------------------
01) --> Chilblain==> Empty(1)
01) --> Power Bolt==> Empty(1)
02) --> Bone Smasher==> Empty(2)
04) --> Frostbite==> Empty(4)
06) --> Arctic Air==> Empty(6)
08) --> Power Push==> Empty(
10) --> Power Blast==> Empty(10)
12) --> Hover==> Empty(12)
14) --> Fly==> Empty(14)
16) --> Ice Slick==> Empty(16)
18) --> Power Boost==> Empty(18)
20) --> Swift==> Empty(20)
22) --> Health==> Empty(22)
24) --> Stamina==> Empty(24)
26) --> Glacier==> Empty(26)
28) --> Total Focus==> Empty(28)
30) --> Flash Freeze==> Empty(30)
32) --> Jack Frost==> Empty(32)
35) --> Sniper Blast==> Empty(35)
38) --> Power Burst==> Empty(38)
---------------------------------------------
01) --> Sprint==> Empty(1)
01) --> Brawl==> Empty(1)
01) --> Domination==> Empty(1)
02) --> Rest==> Empty(2)
The main problem I've run into already at level 17 is that I consider Artic Air a complete waste. I'm almost never in melee range anyway. That led me to an alternate build that completely does away with the melee energy powers. Yes, I know that will cost me some DPS but like I said, I'm hardly in melee range at all anyway.
Here is the alternate build I'm thinking about. By dropping the melee stuff I can pick up 3 of the Medicine powers.
Name:
Level: 41
Archetype: Dominator
Primary: Ice Control
Secondary: Energy Assault
---------------------------------------------
01) --> Chilblain==> Empty(1)
01) --> Power Bolt==> Empty(1)
02) --> Frostbite==> Empty(2)
04) --> Power Push==> Empty(4)
06) --> Hover==> Empty(6)
08) --> Aid Other==> Empty(
10) --> Power Blast==> Empty(10)
12) --> Ice Slick==> Empty(12)
14) --> Fly==> Empty(14)
16) --> Power Boost==> Empty(16)
18) --> Aid Self==> Empty(18)
20) --> Flash Freeze==> Empty(20)
22) --> Swift==> Empty(22)
24) --> Health==> Empty(24)
26) --> Glacier==> Empty(26)
28) --> Stamina==> Empty(28)
30) --> Resuscitate==> Empty(30)
32) --> Jack Frost==> Empty(32)
35) --> Sniper Blast==> Empty(35)
38) --> Power Burst==> Empty(38)
---------------------------------------------
01) --> Sprint==> Empty(1)
01) --> Brawl==> Empty(1)
01) --> Domination==> Empty(1)
02) --> Rest==> Empty(2)
Thoughts? Opinions?

Well, we sort of discussed
Well, we sort of discussed this quickly the other night. My Dom is Ice/Thorns. I don't dislike Arctic Air, just that being less than level 20 its impossible to run for any great length of time, even slotted, because it costs so much End. I don't think I'd get rid of it (I like to try to make powers like that work for me), but I don't think you'll have any issues not taking it either - its not critical to the set like Ice Slick and Jack Frost are.
For Aid Self, you'll probably want to slot it 3 Heal, 1 End, 2 Interrupt. That will remove practially any chance of it being interrupted, so that you can use it in combat. Without those I think you'll find it frustrating to try to use in that capacity.
Oh, and I've never much cared for Power Push. It looks great, but its no Force Bolt because its a much slower to use power.
Slotting blasts for KB? Not a big fan of it. I've tried it on Starmaster, but the bottom line is that because you do not always knock things down when you hit them (excepting Power Push which does have a 100% chance), they're of limited use.
1 Acc will put Sniper Blast above the to-hit soft cap, as its already got a built in Accuracy bonus. The two is giving you ((75% * 1.6666) + 20%) = 144.995%, but the softcap for tohit is as 95%, and most things will not have 54.9995% DEF. It'd be great if your intent is to PvP, if not I wouldn't bother. And experience in PvE as a Blaster has shown me, no matter what you do, Sniper Blast will miss (BuildUp + Aim + SniperBlast with 1 Acc misses a lot more often than you'd think).
And technically 1 Acc puts any other power just above the the cap also, so if you wnat to go for a bit more damage, its something to consider. Remember, while you're patterened after a Blapper as a Dom, you've not got their raw damage numbers, even with Domination going.
If your intent is to be a damager, Bolt, Blast, and Burst are your bread and butter attacks, I'd slot them similarly.
