Fire/Dark ?

[Outrider_01]

Have had this guy on hold for about a month just over 20.  Played fire controller back on live and some experience with dark melee, rerolled that fire/kin as a dominator.  Looking for some feed back on the Fire/Dark while avoiding the sands of mu type attack and how much effort for perma dom.

Dark Assault is a pretty typical Assault set overall. The basic ingredients are all there, with minor tweaks: three ranged blasts, 2 okay-ish melee attacks, a cone (more slender than some other sets) a snipe, and the bonus power is Gather Shadows, which is a clone of Power Up (or perhaps more properly, Power Up is a clone of Gather Shadows).

 

The only real exception to the generic Assault set rules is Life Drain. It's a Tier 2 blast, which replaces what my otherwise be a T3 blast. It's much slower to animate than a lot of blasts (~2 seconds) but has a heal, which makes Dark Assault fairly sustainable. 

 

I have write up somewhere on this forum about Gather Shadows.

 

Fire Control is a well documented set. Good control. Decent damage on a Dominator, but damage isn't as critical from the primary as it is with Controllers. The -ToHit in Dark Assault may help keep your imps alive.
