Ice. I never get to it. I only have one power in the whole set I like nowadays (Hi Arctic Air). It lacks a lot of pazzaz. 

 

Anyways, figured I'd give mind another go since my last (dark/psi) wasn't; my favorite, but I primarily blame dark because... I don't like dark. 

 

So here we go. It's capped ranged, 35% melee. It's 1 attack short of my preferred (6 total buttons not including the cones) since dart isn't doing anything. There's no heavy hitter here outside of Lance/Probe. Endurance looks to be a pain... but only like .23 off from perma drain. Theft of essence seems less worthwhile than power transfer, but open on thoughts there (for drain psyche).

 

If it werent for hasten I'd be down to go for another Alpha, but 117 with 2+5 recharge doesnt seem too forgiving.

Ice Control used to be my favorite Dominator set. This was back when the Contagious Confusion proc had a decent chance of firing in Arctic Air. It's taken an unfortunate nerf since then. It's still fun, but I'm hoping the set gets some attention at some point.

 

 

Overall this is a great build. Questions/things to think about below.

 

I'd not bother with World of Confusion. Take Indom Will instead for the huge Psi Defense bonus and ability to slot a Luck of the Gambler.

 

You could probably safely drop one of the two AoEs. For me it's Psychic Scream that usually gets cut.

 

I don't recommend skipping the AoE immobilize. You can replace Psychic Scream with it.

 

As a Psi Dom you might struggle with single target damage, so if you decide to plug it. consider the Primal APP for Total Focus-normally not a great power, but Drain Psyche makes the health drain disappear almost instantly, so its free, huge damage. The Psi APP is good tho if you want to get LoTG but still have a resistance shield.

Thanks 🙂

1. The AoE immob is a thought; no cons to it,  just a preference thign for me at this point

2. WoC is definitely one of those "I like the way it looks" power choices - def agree that I would get WAY more mileage out of Indom Will (although Im at 5 LOTG already -- but i can double slot recharge reducers in it which would perma it for capped psi 

3. I'm going to stick with Psi out of hatred for, well, Psi. lol

 

 

Thinking #2 might be the best route to go here -- will probably take the extra slot into health for a numinas for a little wiggle room... though another 5% psi resist appeals to my psi-hatred... lol 

 

Decided to go the KB route - with Dom thats +13 KB resist, so 97% of the game neutered.
