Well once you go perma you'll not want to come out of it if you can avoid that.  I don't even like losing domination when I'm goofing off semi-afk.

 

Yep, when Domination expires I feel as useless as a Brute without Fury. 

[What's a dom that's fun while levelling?]

Well... for the purpose of this post it kind of has to be a dominator. I don't have a problem coming up with new characters to play in general, and already have multiple login pages of controllers. I was asking about dominators because they seem like they should be fun, and I've tried a handful or more, but can't seem to get one to stick.

 

Yeah, they seem like they'd be fun. But the main reason to play a Dom is if you want to be a Blaster that doesn't get beat up all the time because you can make your enemies stand there and watch you beat them up.

 

I've tried a ton of Dommies and my favorite is a ninja-themed Illusion/Martial. I spend most of my time kicking things in the face, throwing ninja stars, and summoning ninja clones, occasionally tossing controls, the ghost face, etc. It's not the most powerful Dom, but it's fun. My other fave was Mind/Savage, but then I realized I only really liked Savage and re-rolled as a Savage/Bio Brute. I have a Fire/Fire that's also decent fun, but because of concept.

 

Based on what you're describing, try Gravity / Energy. You want soft control? Five energy blasts with knockback, plus Lift and Propel. If you don't want the KB for some reason just drop the mass Immob and then blast and punch away. You can Power Boost - Hold a boss then Total Focus his face.  Wormhole everyone straight up in the air and giggle when they land and bounce. 

 

Or just keep trying out combos 'till one sticks.
