[Build Request] Dark/Mind help

[QuantumNukaCola]

Hiya! Recently joined Homecoming and found time to play... kinda overwhelmed at first but I'm slowly getting the hang of things. Been mostly playing this Dark/Mind dominator but I could use some direction on how to slot and maybe a general build order... I saw another thread about Dark/Mind but it didn't get any replies, wanted to try my own luck if there's anyone out there that wants to pitch in.

Do you mean Mind Control/Dark Assault or is it Dark Control/Psionic Assault?

Dark Control/Psionic Assault

[Mezmera]

Ah okay I'll defer on that one I don't have much experience with either power set but hope someone can point you in the right direction.

Here is an example of a relatively low cost Dark/Psi build that achieves permadom status without purples or the ATOs. This build has a few issues but is low cost and achievable for a newish player without a ton of cash. It may also provide a big picture idea on how to slot powers.

 

This isn't how I'd slot a character given unlimited budget. If you'd like me to mock that up, let me know.

Many thanks for this! It's a good starting point in case I get bored, since I'm in the process of getting my farmer up to speed so I can actually build towards endgame builds. Until then, I'm shelving that particular dominator for the most part. IF you wanna share how you'd actually slot, go ahead! I'd still very much appreciate that.
