Yeah sorry I wasn't sure what forum was most appropriate.

Thanks for answering. Why would MC be better but Illusion not? Is it because the dominate class ability lets you pump it up but illusion uses summons more? What's so good about darkness affinity? Is that the same as darkness control? Or is it only affinity that's good? Sorry if these seem simple. I'm going through wikis before starting someone off but there's a lot to consume.

So the AoE for a controller is bigger on the same power sets? I didn't see that in their archetype power. What defines the difference? Thanks for all the advice so far.

I've never played this game before but heard good things. And I'm a fan of this kind of playstyle, rare as it is. So I'm trying to tell what is different in terms of "most effective control powers" with controller vs dominator. It seems like Dominators unique trait gives it a temporary power boost and controller is always on. Maybe one only affects single targets? Maybe the temporary boost is stronger when on or weaker when on? Can anyone clarify what would maximize CC options? If someone had to cast the strongest CC there was would it come from one or the other class? And then I'm looking into power sets for each. I know the second dominator choice seems to be about damage. And the second controller choice about supports. Aesthetically I like mind control and illusions but I have no idea if those are actually good enough to make a useful end game character. And I might have to look into what each gets since attacks and support options may differ. I'm open to anything though. What's the absolute best for each class in your opinion and why? I really don't mind playing full support or CC + damage. Whatever is more useful I can have fun with both. Just looking for general advice and I wasn't sure which archetype form to use since it refers to both. I haven't picked which I'd play yet. I guess the question is, if you had to pick a class to join your team which would you favor? And which power sets do you prefer and why?
