[Played a few Doms, need more ideas pls!]

Grav / Earth / Soul works. In fact, using wormhole to get fuel for soul drain works really well. Plus, the knocks in several earth assault powers and the hold in seismic smash help to make up for the limited amount of control in Gravity. Consider taking Vigor or Cardiac alpha because earth assault really chews through endurance. 

Mind / Radiation / Psi works well as a "science" origin character. Functionally it's very solid. 

Electric / electric / mu should work fairly well, overall. 

Dark / dark / soul is thematic and effective. Soul drain helps to increase dark assault damage, which is helpful. Incidentally, consider putting the +damage unique IO in the dominator AT set into midnight grasp. With good recharge you can have 2-3 stacks of that that IO's damage bonus a lot of the time. Also, proc up both smite and gloom to take their damage to another level. 

Plant / ice / leviathan for a coral creature that mutated and became sentient. Pretty solid combination, grab water spout for defense debuffs. 

Gravity / energy / primal forces for that mad scientist in a suit of power armor

GL on your quest to find more fun dom combos. There are plenty of them.

Thanks for the tips! I might respec my dark/dark down the road… or maybe attempt a dark/something … maybe savage or nrg

You may find Mind/Martial a little underwhelming as I did.

 

That said some other really fun combos I have:

• Elec/Psi - it's a very resilient sapper and fun to play.
• Dark/Thorns - dark is strong around and thorns seemed to match the concept, it plays fairly well.
• Fire/Energy - this was my take on a D&D wizard who fell through a portal and ended up in Paragon City.
• Illusion/Sav/Ice - one of my favorite Domis, the powersets although different gel together really well.

 I was actually thinking about a fire/energy assault dom, thanks for the tip!

Howdy, I’m @PyreElf from Excelsior server. My goal is to make a LOT of dominators, since they’re my favorite AT in the game.

 

Im here looking for power suggestions if you have some… (I really like to try weird combos!).

 

Here’s my current list of dominators I have IOd and Incarnated at 50 (with a lil star meaning I really enjoy how they play):

 

Earth/Fire/Fire * (main from live)

Earth/Psi/Psi *

Ice/Ice/Ice *

Grav/Thorny/Fire *(incredibly fun!)

Grav/Fire/Fire

Fire/Sonic/Fire

Elec/Earth/Mu

Symph/Fire/Fire
Illusion/Fire/Fire

 

 

As you can see, I chose fire as a secondary a few times now mainly because I feel dominators are more affiliated with fire abilities cuz one of their ATOs create Fiery Orbs… so I did myself a favor and stopped playing my fire blasters and just went for a few Fiery Assault dominators instead. I also highly enjoy casting Rain of Fire and Immobilizing mobs so they melt in place… I feel like this is partly unique to dominators along with the Fiery Orbs.

 

Ive also played a couple /Savage doms, /Rad assault and /Dark. Although I never enjoyed the dmg output in Dark Assault for some reason. Just seemed lacking. 
 

BUT all that being said… please suggest me some power combos! I’d like to create at least one dominator of every power type so I can say I fully tested them out! I’m working on a Mind/Martial now. 
 

I guess that leaves Dark Control and Plant still to be toyed with… along with Savage and maybe something else?

 

If you have power suggestions please let me know (even if they’re close to my builds I already listed), I’m all ears.

 

 

[What would pair well with gravity?]

I’ve tried a Grav/Fire/Fire and a Grav/Ice/Ice and they were alright but then I went on an adventure and tried Thorny Assault. Fell in love with it.

 

Thorntraps is great paired with Singy, and she pulls mobs in for me to get Ripper to land on multiple targets. There’s very good synergy.
 

Ended up going with Fire Mastery for Rain of Fire as well… that plus Thorntrops does a LOT of DoT. Whatever is left alive you can just ‘scrap’ it out.

 

Thorny Assault offers great AoE and pretty decent ST dmg with high toxic DoT to boot. Highly recommend.

Cool! I love the layouts! Well done!
