AOE Dom help

[xR_Squaredx]

I got my mind/psi Dom to 50 a couple weeks ago and am a little disappointed. It doesn't really feel like it does anything particularly well (could be my build or my perception).

 

I am wondering, what is your favorite pri/sec for an AOE Dom?

 

It can be weak in the damage department, I just want something stronger at locking mobs down for my team to destroy.

Plant, Earth, and Dark are all good at AoE controls.

Do you mean AOE control, or AOE damage?  Psi is pretty strong for aoe damage, but the lack of soft controls (immob, slow) in mind can make it hard to keep everything in your cone & pbaoe.

 

Playing plant can definitely spoil you, it's pretty beastly.

 

Mind control is best (IMH)O either solo, or in a group who understands how to play with a mind controller (in the sense that a group doesn't have to do much different to play with the other primaries, but to take advantage of mind/ you have to understand how to play around Sleep & TK) - and neither of those might match your playstyle.

Echoing my man coyote here.

Secondary-wise, I'd suggest Martial or Thorny for AOE damage in combination with the above primaries.

Savage does great AOE too

Savages damage is fairly weak compared to everything else. I'd love to tell people to use it like I do with Martial, but as it currently stands... It's at the bottom of the barrel.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll give them a look. 🙂

I only play a Mind/Psi Dominator here....and wow, doesn't do anything particularly well?!  It locks down everything, no problem, and does everything well except aoe but that's not needed*...nor pets.

/mumble Doesn't do anything particularly well. Hah!

 

*fast enough you can simulate AOE lock down/damage by playing well

**I don't use TK, though Mesmerize has some interesting applications which I see little used by others.

 

Side-note I've teamed with a couple Thorny types who seriously impressed me (a tough feat for another Dom hehe) with their AOE. So go for something like that as was suggested above

 

 

P.S. Thank you for writing Mind/Psi and not Mind/Psy
