High-End PvP Mind/Rad Dominator Build

[M3z]

Hey guys,

 

Sharing my mind/rad pvp dominator build I use for 8v8 arena and zone pvp. Devastating blow and radiation siphon hit like a truck and your ranged attack of dominate->proton volley->xray beam is fast and does decent enough damage. Hibernate allows you to stay alive evade coordinated spikes. 1500+ HP (with accolades) allows you to survive in general as well as increasing the effectiveness of green insps. TK can set up slow snipes for more initial damage. This build also provides some basic KB protection (41) against most attacks (force bolt from bubblers is probably still gonna KB you). Overall this is a fun pvp build with a lot of versatility and one of the better dom pvp builds you can roll with.

I recently posted on the PvP forums about build philosophy. 

 

What I see when looking at this build is an inclination towards boosting your HP, and slotting procs.

 

Are there other things you considered when building this?  My intent is to understand the thought process behind a PvP build, and what I should be prioritizing. 

[M3z]

The general philosophy will depend upon build you have and what your primary use of it will be (8v8/1v1/zones etc).

 

But in general the idea is to 2acc/dam (just use a dam/acc IO from a random set and +5 it using enhancement boosters) and 4 damage proc slot your heavy hitting attacks. All other attacks you generally slot them to achieve set bonuses over proccing them out. Reason begin the current proc system favors slow animating attacks with longer recharges. Basically the slower animating/longer recharge an attack is, the higher chance it has of procs going off. So proccing out a tier 1 blast like flares is not going to as effective as proccing out blaze.

 

As far as set bonuses go you want to aim for capped hp(squishies its 1606, MMs dont get anywhere near this because their base is 808 though), accuracy (often times you slot attacks 2 acc/dam and 4 procs and that leaves you with 60% accuracy, this helps fill that gap and allows you to get closer to ED cap), +rech (good for many reasons, not as strong as it was pre-i13 though because of DR) and depending on the build +dam (this DRs in pvp so it's not good to sacrifice HP/rech/acc for dam). Once you get your main attack chain slotted for damage, everything else is just up for set bonuses.

 

AT IOs generally have the strongest set bonuses because you can catalyze them which increases their set bonuses pretty dramatically so they are often times optimal (scrapper/stalker AT IOs for instance are crazy good).

 

super jump/super speed/hasten/acrobatics (on squishy character with no mez protect toggle) are required for pvp. 3 slotted stamina with perf shifter +end proc is pretty standard as well.

 

Hope this helps.

 

edit: just saw Dan Petro's reply, yeah honestly just go with his advice lol he's the guy that helped me with a lot of my builds when I first came back.

[DecreeOfJustice]

None the less, I appreciate getting another prospective.  I think there's a lot of value in considering both points of view.

 

Thank you for taking the time to detail your thought process. 

[Flat Line]

Thank you for posting this build!

 

I used it as a template to build a Mind/Martial, and I'm loving it. 

Only used it PvE so far, but it leveled really up to level 27 today. 

I'm also happy that it could be used for PvP when I eventually get around to it.

 

So much fun, could very well become my main. I'm thinking of trying with Energy Blast as well.

Is this build good for pvp anymore?

[M3z]

Probably needs experimentation teleport to help with survivability and cryopistol to animation cancel dev blow.
