Fire Control/Psionic Assault Build

Hello everyone, i've just made this build for my new Dominator, i intend to run every kind of content on him(including farms) which is why i went for higher defenses, ended up with a softcapped smash/lethal/energy/negative/ranged, further testing is needed and i would love some ideas/criticism. Endurance seems to be a problem initially, but with Drain Psyche and Perma Dom it shouldn't be that bad.

Ps.: I choose Agility Core Paragon for the Alpha, seems the best since it boosts my recharge and endurance modification(which is helpful for Drain Psyche)

I had a Fire/Psi way back in the day on official and am making one here.  I think you should look at one of two things as far as Ancillary Power Pools.  Either Ice for the Sleet / Ice Storm combo.  There’s decent damage and control there, and Sleet of course has the -Def/-Res effect.

The other option IMO, and one that I’m trying first is Fire for the Fireball/RoF combination.  I think with the present state of Psychic Shockwave there’s a more viable attack chain there.

Also it’s worth considering the nature of farming you’ll be doing.  Packed maps will be out due to the 16 target maximum you will have to contend with.  If you pull much beyond what you can control you will be screwed.  That said,  I think that the KB ->KD enhancement in Bonfire has tremendous defensive potential for us.  It also is not affected by Fire Cages -KB/-KU effect as far as I’ve been able to tell.

I’m still tweaking my build but will post it here when I have it where I like it.

Thanks for answering, i loved your idea on RoF/Fireball, it should be insane with Fire Cages/Bonfire, but also a very heavy endurance eater eh?

The reason i didn't invest too much on the Ice Pool powers is that i don't know where to remove the slots to realocate them without losing too much ranged defense(which to be honest is the one i'm mostly worried about), the initial idea was to keep the mobs controlled as much as possible, which would keep me mostly safe from melee/AoE damage(except from EBs/AVs).

Other thing that is troubling me a lot is the single target damage, it takes me quite a while to kill a EB. I noticed that Mind Probe is probably better than Mental Blast on that case, i'm going to do some changes later and post them here.

Alright, here's the updated build, i have managed to reach 40% Ranged Defense, Energy and Negative. I made it with Fire Pool as it really synergizes well with Fire Control. I have yet to do any in depth testing but it looks way better than before. Don't mind the slot levels, i haven't done a leveling path for this build yet.

Is Psychic Scream so bad everyone ignores it?

I think with the present state of Psychic Shockwave there’s a more viable attack chain there.
