1) Yes you can.
2) Do you read solo in the quoted sentence?
3) I could have killed Dominus SOLO simply by using many portals and getting many deaths.

What a rethoric question on your part. The answer is in the goddamn post. But you just want to provoke. To spell it out for you: Cruel Dominus is overtuned. Actually it is just the endless stream of minions that keep comin and comin. With Weaver and Piety there is a max amount of those.
Falling from an airplane with or without a bulletproof vest; it wont make a goddamn difference.
piety is reasonable, but not the weaver! the limit must be _very_ high.
my friend and i were in there and it was FILLED with spiders, and we were desyncing to death. once again, when the game gets hard it's desync that kills you. what good is tuned twitchy finger reaction time if your action is 0.5 second in the past? so much for "action" rpg.
i thought we were going to have to start a new instance, but muddled through it and i have no idea how.
dom is overtuned on cruel and especially on merciless because you can run the imperial gardens, lol-roll sceptre of god, get up there, and even though you KNOW his tricks you get flattened anyway. his damage, life, those freaking unique minions are all much harder than the surrounding encounters that lead up to him.
oh and using mobility skills to escape fist and lightning spray ? kinda hard to do when you're desyncing.
so much for "action" rpg.
i hate that encounter.

Because it is a personal attack. It is the job of the support team to enforce the forum guidelines, no matter how bad/good one may think those "rules" are.

The question was to provoke yes,to provoke an answer as to why Dominus was a game stopper for you (in cruel no less) and the answer was that your solo self found gear couldn't match the check put to it,Dominus being overtuned or not is irrelevant,as had you traded for something better you would have passed the check.
=)
Cruel Dominus being a wall got nothing to do with the gear you wear. If I would have better gear, it wouldn't have made the slightest difference. So stop throwing out nonsense. 'Checkputs' .......
Dominus is just poorly designed (at least compared to Merveil, Vaal and Piety).
Don't disagree with the second part, but the first isn't true in my experience. He's definitely gear and build dependant. I found him pathetically easy with an ele buzzsaw and a few cheapo uniques. My summoner was a different story. All the sploded corpses brought my fps to a point I could barely move.
he is very build dependent to be sure. level an RF so that you do nothing but pick up life and regen.
you can facetank him in cruel, fist of god and all.
he'll still kill ya in merciless though.
the other key i've noticed is you really need a _very_ strong aoe attack. that takes care of minions, totems, etc...

I'm perfectly fine with that, as long as those same rules apply to everyone.
When I got probated for that reason, it was Charan who landed the first personal attack.
I, the fool, went to contact support about it, and all I got was being mocked by a certain GGG member.
I don't want Crackmonster to get probated, because I share his opinion, and ultimately I give my vote that he won't be probated.

but you didn't,others took you through it in a party,they did it. =P
2) Do you read solo in the quoted sentence?
No it's not in that sentence,but it's in this one and I quote
"The only game stopper for me was cruel Dominus. Couldn't solo him and had to do it in party. And yes Dominus is imbalanced at that level."
3) I could have killed Dominus SOLO simply by using many portals and getting many deaths.
Which means either or both your build and/or self found gear failed you.
I assumed you refer to solo self found because of the following statement.
The only game stopper for me was cruel Dominus. Couldn't solo him and had to do it in party. And yes Dominus is imbalanced at that level.
The whole game can be finished (killing merc Dominus) in party with self found gear,but it's not because of your self found gear. =)

With the return of the development manifesto some things become clear, unless they will be added later.
Desync: It seems desync is here to stay as expected and heralded by those with clarity. Still we hear faulty arguments like mobas have input lag which would apparently make them useless for sync purposes, whereas it is RTS games that have that and the whole sentence is misleading. Sorry but i know a bad excuse when i hear one, and that is one. I play mobas frequently and you get to react in PvP situations in a splitsecond, gameplay is vastly superior and allows for far superior reactions than PoE, in fact you can react so fast that latency is something you barely ever notice unless there is a problem with your connection, even in PvP situations, whereas in PoE the game can't even handle PvE properly. I am not saying GGG should copy mobas, i'm just tired of excuses and wanted to point out one. GGG does not know how to fix it and it will not change.
Drop rates: Not a word. The devs must be satisfied.
Making the game appealing to new players: Baby steps mentioned, meaning 95% of the game will remain the same. This is symbolic to the state of PoE. It will not change much beyond what it is now, except new content will be added akin to the rest, the experience will not change.
Conclusion: Those of us who hoped for PoE to conqour the world as the greatest ARPG ever must become realistic. PoE is still an excellent game with great depth of characterization unmatched in any other modern ARPG, but it will never be a welcoming experience that will allow a player such as myself to use all my hours here. I will play here in periods, then play other games while i wait for the true legacy ARPG to arise and conquer the world.
Sad panda :/
Desync could be fixed, i have and idea, i v posted on the suggestion forum but havent got any replys yet, trying to see first if GGG are interested or they are already working on it.

Dunno, I've crushed through Cruel Dominus solo in the previous two new leagues with no issues on the third or fourth day of playing the league. I don't even bother trading until I get to merc act 3 unless I'm selling gear...
But this is perhaps because I've farmed Dominus for hours and hours and know the fight so well.
