Ive never found this to be the case as a Dominator. I cant even control my pets. None of them have run rampantly after a summon and aggroed whole spawns to me. Please include video evidence to your claim thanks

probably your low accuracy. I always make sure to debuff defense OR slot accuracy OR pick up Tactics. I feel like it make a big difference and I see alot of Vines.

Pyro and trick arrow is really great. I made a pyro and poison on the test server but sadly trick arrow is better. It gets it's debuffs out way faster and safer than poison does. Weaken and envenom on hard targets is great and all but disruption arrow and flash arrow are so quick it lets me get to spamming my pyro powers more so I can get as many blast offs and interceptor procs as possible. With poison I have to cycle between mobs if I want to make sure my debuffs are being spread out. Controllers do double dmg to CCed mobs and not to ones that are just debuffed. My opener is flash arrow then disruption arrow. These don't alert the group and it allows me to get glittering column in position which is then followed up by hypnotizing lights and then brilliant barrage. Then I just start spamming dazzle and sparkling cage/chain until mobs are dead. It's been such a powerhouse that I prefer pyro on controllers more than dominators. Just because of the blast off and interceptor proc gameplay.

Ice ministrels set of 5 with the proc and then impeded swiftness proc. The highest dmg in my testing.

pretty silly not to get it. its been amazing as an opener. from my experience i love pulling 2 groups that are kinda close to each other. I place spirit tree in between and wait in stealth as they try to beat it up. then i lay all the controls, spore burst, seeds and vines and for am rewarded for the effort of using spirit tree first then waiting a bit for the mobs to start moving towards it.

Would love this to come true along side the thugs and beasts revamp.

Can confim was noticing this in the Open Beta playing on a Electric Controller and Electric Dominator. Its a real shame because IT can be electric controls sustain but unfortunately doesnt do anything at this time.

Took out elec dominator and plant controller and the AOE holds are definately working, Would love a CD reduction (200 sec is a good compromise) still, but at least the ability works and does a good job at shutting down an area with the initial hold + pulsing aoe holds.

I really hope they scrap the pseudopet patch for holds. It's antiquated and no one needs 60 secs of shutdown when death is also perfectly acceptable for of CC that the game offers too. Mind control, ice, illusion, symphony all came up winners from this patch.

Vines is now horrible. Tesla Coil and GDF are in the same shitiness boat. MAKE AOE HOLDS GREAT AGAIN. Please go back to 180 sec recharge.

I just tested Tesla Coil on level 54 and lower mobs and I am not getting it to do any form of CC at all. I think I saw ONE instance of a held character inside. Now with increased recharge its a power that doesnt even work. Really sadge about this. After watching the video the yellow con minions are breaking free from my stun that has 5 set bonus of unbreakable restraint in less than a second. So much for being an unbreakable restrain hahaha

Man really sad about the Vines, Gravity Distortion Field and Tesla Coil changes. Once again the powers are back to 240 secs and back to being set mules or powers to forget to use.

omg its happening. Release candidate!!!

Marines damage is from shifting tide and it's procs. Each time a player or pet does damage it can activate the cold damage proc of shifting tides. Plant has carrion creepers frequently attacking and thus frequently activating the cold dmg proc. Whitecap with a fury of the gladiator proc can reduce res by up to 33.25. finally tidepool and shifting tide can increases damage% of you and your pets significantly. It's very offensive power set.
