My first dominator since... ever. Some feedback, please?

[Lyrium]

Hi all,

 

I've never played a dominator before (or, at least, past 25). I want to have at least one at 50 and I think now could be the time to do it. I'm rolling Mind/Psy, but I'm not sure I have any idea of what I'm doing with this build:

Sorry, Mids keeps crashing, so only a pic

 

Any suggestion? Too much recharge? Too few defense/resist? Too much control? Enough attacks? I guess that before perma-dom I need to worry much more about Endurance

Hello!  Welcome to dominators which has quickly become my favorite AT.

 

Some quick notes on your build:

1. You want your Ascendancy of the Dominator chance for +damage to be in one of your primary attacks in your rotation.  It procs a lot in fast charging attacks, enough that you can think of it giving your dominator Defiance like blasters have (if it's in your attack chain).  Subdue is the proper location for it.
2. Terrify is an AoE attack for Mind dominators, take it over psionic tornato.  It does more damage and has a target cap of 16 instead of 10.  It may be a cone, but it's a 90 degree cone.  You're gonna hit everything in front of you.
3. I wouldn't take World of Confusion unless you're going to slot Coercive Persuasion: Contagious Confusion in it.  IMHO, that set is better in your main confuse power
4. I'd actually suggest the Concealment pool instead of Leadership for LoTG mules.  Stealth is extremely useful for ATs with a confuse since it doesn't break stealth and will allow you to cheese missions easily.  Or, just use it to confuse all the bosses before taking down a group

 

I've included an example build below.  It's not the most optimized, but it has both more ranged defense and S/L resistance.  Hopefully, you'll find it helpful!

Great info! Thanks a lot for the build, I'll tinker around with it 🙂

Oh, one note.  I forgot I had Superior Dominating Grasp: Fiery Orb in Mass Confusion.  If you want to use Mass confusion from stealth that's probably a bad idea (my bad).  😳

Again, if you team, it proc-checks how many people around you that Tactics is affecting, it even can proc off pets.

I didn't know this... I may have to try taking tactics with my Illusion dom!
