Red Fedora - Mind/Rad domi

[Scarlet Shocker]

I created this guy a couple of weeks back and I'm having a shit ton of fun with it.

 

Initially I just tried it out because I don't have many dominators at all. I think this is my 3rd or 4th ever and I'm unfamiliar with their mechanics, despite having a tonne of experience with controllers. I chose Mind and Rad Assault simply because they seem to be quite difficult for mobs to counter. Mind control is tough for them to resist and Rad debuffs their Def so it makes it even easier to kill. At least that's the theory.

 

So we're now 40, I've just done my Patron pool (thanks to those who joined and helped) and I went with Mako because I really like his arc/personality and the powers that come with it. Leviathan is fun and for me at least adds an interesting dimension to the game Lore, but I appreciate that it isn't always "the best" option to take.

 

I've taken Stealth (which I often do take) not so much for the +Def but for the +Rech and Procs you can mule it with. I'm also combat jump and arcane flight to get around - but the latter could be dispensed with.

 

So here's my dilemma: I've sketched out a mids build but it seems I only have a few powers fully slotted and a whole bunch of 2 slots which seems odd. IT's also likely to be a very expensive build but the stats in mids seem to indicate it'll be a hard bastard once fully slotted and built. BUT... how do I permadom it (do I need to)? What powers are essential to build domination and what powers should I consider the most vital. He is very very end heavy slotted only with SOs - IS that something I can mitigate in his build or will I have to rely on Incarnate powers to solve it?

 

I know mind control reasonably well, my 2nd ever 50 back in 2006 was a mind troller, but I've limited experience of rad assault.

 

All input gratefully received! Thanks in advance.

There are (of course) multiple reasonable choices for a build. Hopefully what's attached here provides a helpful beginning point.

Thanks. Interesting build. It's given me some more ideas about how to work with it 🙂
