Grav/Psi Build

[oedipus_tex]

So after all the negative things I've said about Gravity Control on Doms I went on a mission to find a combo that would bypass most of the known issues with the set. I came up with a proposed Grav/Psi/Psi build which IMO is not bad. Full disclosure that I did not actually check DPAs.

 

In theory, this build would be able to take advantage of the non-notify aspect of Wormhole to warp enemies to a trap zone where Drain Psyche can be used at point blank range. Then, the Dom can unleash Psychic Shockwave and Psinado, followed by single target on the bosses. 

 

The normally poor single target damage of Psi is offset by Lift and Propel. This build would skip the majority of attacks in the Assault set, favoring only the ones that provide very high damage. 

 

Unknown because I didn't check DPA and the value of Impact: whether I can also skip Mind Probe.

 

The build is one Purple inspiration away from soft capped Melee and Ranged defense, with +108% Recharge before Hasten.

 

One annoyance: you can't actually teleport +4 bosses with Wormhole. Just because of how the game is designed. But maybe one day.

 

Feedback, comments, or alternate builds welcome.

Despite having damage powers in their secondary set, generally speaking Dominator damage is not very high. This can lead to endurance problems, yes.
