Illusion and Psi or Sonic?

[Traumalad]

Just barely getting into Doms right now and curious if anyone has any strong opinions on Psi vs Sonic as a pairing with Illusion for a Dominator? Any sample builds would be super appreciated!

I haven't played /Sonic, but I would advise against pairing Psi with Illusion. Foes that resist psi damage (i.e., robots) resist it a LOT. Having a second damage type will make your life much easier.

Played Psi and Illusion on seperate Dom's, I am not sure if really works the best together. It can probably work if you are able to proc out Psi a lot to overcome the psi damage resistance, but that does go against the perma-PA.

 

Sonic might be a better roll for it do to the -res which will help the PA damage, and with not having the taunt effect you might be more in range with it, to utilize it more.

 

I did a ILL/Dark build and with the seperate damage type made a big difference.

i agree. the -res component of sonic will work nicely with illusion

 

in my opinion psi assault is one of the worst performing secondaries available for doms but is buoyed by people’s memories of it being good 15 years ago on live
