Dominator > Mind Control > Enhancement screen numbers

Slotted Mesmerize for Damage.  says it does 110~ damage, but does 60~ damage.  tested on council, freak, tsoo and family.

 

Meanwhile Dominate slotted for damage says it does 40~ damage, but does 60~ damage.  same groups tested

Do you have screenshots of the enhancement screen and combat log?

[kelika2]

Ok Windows11 has this new annoying snipping thing whenever I hit PrintScreen on top of a delayed.. screenshot time something.  like i had a picture with a power analyzer showing the crey eliminator has 0% psi resist but the screenshot took before i used the power analyzer and between the corpse going away and the snipers in the area i said screw it.  this is all i got.  and this power info window is the same as the enhancement window because the win11 snip thing did not show enhancement menu mouseover info because why not.

you made rhe right choices (skip levitate one, too slow, delay in dmg), and got the high range sleep and of course hold.

 

its working, kupo, have faith in your powers!

 

and maybe ise xbox gamebar shortcuts to take a screenshot, or greenshot if you want a clipping tool thats not terrible.

Looking at the detailed info for those powers, it looks like Mesmerize is including the containment damage, so it is reading as double what it should otherwise be. On the other hand, Dominate doesn't even list the containment damage and is not including it in the calculation. Mesmerize and Dominate if similarly enhanced should be doing the same damage.

 

Edit: Wait, this is for dominators, not controllers and so containment shouldn't be part of it. But Mesmerize is still listing two different psi damage sources despite only doing one of them as if containment was wrongly being added to the ingame detailed info. So it's not that Mesmerize is doing the wrong amount of damage and more that the detailed info is listing the wrong stuff.

Personally im hoping that doms mind controlling is doing less damage than intended.

doms quicksnap -

 

i have come to make everyone happy! - honoroit of good fortunes

 

whats better on controller:

- stuff with placables that dont benefit from domination

- this is sometimes offset by signature abilities (staligmites, synaptic overload) 

- damage can be BAD from a primary, but youre operating at double mag in late bloom perma dom

 

earth:

- still good, but your be better dark affinity, nature, or kin imo.

 

plant:

- seeds.

- creepers

- can argue for a /kin with creepers, but hassle

- pair with fire, or earth assault, or thorny.

 

dark:

- s'ok, pet damage is overestimated by many forum goers

- dark/dark controller is a monster, or dark time if you want dual hold aura placables

- harrumph. dark/ dark assault is ok.

 

grav:

- grav/kin. its silly with fulcrum.

 

symphony:

- is ugly

- works well with dom

- gimmicky on the stun cone

- energy assault can boost range on occassion. do that for cone coverage

 

ice:

- is better now

- arctic and world of confuse combo is overprice and tight on range. if youre doing that use earth assault, thorny, or savage.

 

elec:

- is so good for control with pulsing sleep patches, always up chain knockdown, a chain confuse...

- ...but... on a controller you could bring real team support.

 

fire:

- not into it

- its not a wonderful control set

- pair with earth/savage/thorny something pbaoe'ey, i guess

 

illusion:

- pa no taunt

- hands off primary allowing for focus on 2ndary

- martial is quite decent with this, 2ndary to your liking. savage probably optimal for assist perma pa / warp to group.

 

mind:

- my personal favorite on dom

- mass hypnosis is 👍 good!

- dominate os a fantastic hold power

- mesmerize gets range, and high mag sleep, esp w dom

- cd on mass confuse too hight, but ya, and wide coverage

- telekinesis, despute monster nerf, is v useful in hold mag stacking or gtfo me monster 👻

- savage works, as does earth. dark for power boost thingy. or thorny because its generally great.

 

opinions differs, but generally, you do middling damage (compared to a max level blaster or scrapper)

 

you have very good slotting diversity on a dom (many types of abilities)

 

but... generally... yoy bring more to the table as a controller, imo.

 

/city_of_kin im afraid.
