Rumination

Thanks for the reply. Yeah quick snipe wasn't a thing back when I made this guy (early 2019 I think). Thanks for the info! I have a few things I'll need to read up on. I did see your build post, because it was one of the few dark/dark dom posts made. Thanks for that, I think we all benefit learning from each other. My goal here is to have a well rounded character that can bring damage and control to a team and not die while doing it.

I built this Dark/Dark/Ice dom a few years back when Homecoming first popped up. I'm playing again and I wanted a critique of the current build. As I recall it was a super fun character to play, but I'd be interested if there are any comments. I see that I focused on defense + -tohit, but very little resistance, which is perhaps a mistake. Any tips are appreciated.
