Mix 'n Match for my new dominator!

[Random Axis]

I wanted to pick the forum's brain for my new dom. To combat alt-itis, I have a private rule to try and not have repeat powersets, so for the new one it's limited to 

 

Primary

Electric

Fire

Ice

Mind

 

Secondary

Earth

Ice

Thorny

 

I don't want to say no ice/ice, but I've already got dual ice on a blaster and a stalker, so the dom will need a good elevator pitch for the set combination.

 

Given all those completely arbitrary restrictions, what would you folks go for? No need for a build since they'll be rocking with white IOs for a while, but I'd also be interested in any must-have/must-skip powers in the set.

Fire/Thorns sounds like it could be pretty awesome! I don't have that particular combo but I've played them both separately. Smoke is skipable from fire, it's not trash it's just kind of situational. Skip Ring of Fire too, on a troller is useful as another damaging attack but on a Dom your whole second set just for damage so it's not very valuable. Thorns is harder because its all good, gotta make some tough decisions. On my Plant/Thorns I took all the high damage single target stuff from thorns and rely on Creepers, Roots and Disruptor Blast for AOE damage but I've been thinking about respecing because Thorn Bust would be very useful. You could build in a similar way with Cages, Hot Feet and Bonfire as your main AOE damage.

Elec/earth sounds like a potentially powerfully resilient dominator. You have Conductive Aura and your controls to sap mobs, and then also get mudpots to help keep them in melee paired with tremor and fissure procing FF procs to help with domination. And you have power boost to really sao things fast.

 

Then you work things over with your gremlins and mallets like it owes you money.

Thanks for the replies! I'm still working on a final spec, but if you see Flaming Lava Spikes in game feel free to say hi.

Fooling around in mids makes me agree with you. So I guess I'm having twins with two baby doms!
