Thanks for the replies guys.

What I'm taking away is that it can be used as a "long-term" endurance management tool, and through regular use it increases overall speed and performance, so the long recharge pretty much assumes you're going to 3 slot it with recharge to bring it down to close to 5 minutes.

It's not particularly useful for short term power increase like Build Up or Fiery Embrace, except in the cases of nukes which Dominators don't get anyway (although I wish we had one).

Now I'll try and find some time to take if for a spin.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to maintain this list in the future. But if someone else wants to revive it, you have my full support. Also, you can add this to the list:

Stone Spears does no damage to flying targets. It can target them and knock them up, but the damage is zero.

I'm basing my opinion on some generated attack chains. Check out the Attack Chain Generator link in my sig if you want to play around with what the sets can do.

I used the last round of free transfers to make more room on Justice.

Hmm, ok. So is it a good power in its current form? Which scenarios does it work well in?

Check the powers guide in my sig for my full opinion.

I'd suggest in this order:

Electricity Assault: four attacks by level 10 + Build Up. Voltaic Sentinel is also good vs. bosses.
Energy Assault: four attacks by level 10 and a heavy hitter at 38
Fiery Assault: slow to mature attack chain, but has Embrace of Fire and Blaze at level 38 is great.

Hi Blaster forum,

Conserve Power is in the new Dominator APP, and I thought its 10 minute recharge was way too long for its effect. Then I noticed that it's 10 minutes in Energy Manipulation too.

Can anyone shed any light on why it would have such a long recharge?

For my extended opinion, check the powers guide (freshly updated!) in my sig.

If you like AoE, you could also try Fire/Thorny.

I didn't see a hit message for the proc in the combat log, so I'm guessing it wasn't passed through.

I'm also liking the new APPs, (with the exception of Conserve Power) but I'll be sticking with Mu Mastery in at least one case because of Surge of Power. Now, if Primal Forces had Overload . . .

Also, don't get too excited about Melt Armor, it looks like rubbish to me, 200 second recharge, 10 ft radius and 11% res debuff. meh. I'd rather have Poisonous Ray thanks very much.

Waybreaker's guide is an excellent read, although I haven't looked at it in years now and I'm not sure if it has aged well.

What I didn't tell you is that those are all my 50s, I don't play any other AT to a signifcant extent. I think sometimes it's just that different ATs appeal to different people.

7. Glossary

• Aggro is the attention an enemy gives its target. To have aggro means to have an enemy attacking you, and to draw aggro is to cause enemies to start targetting you.
  
• AV is an Arch Villain class enemy, sometimes also identified as Hero. Confusingly some mobs identified as Hero are really more equivalent to bosses.
  
• Confuse is an effect which causes a mob to attack friends instead of foes. Although damage from confused enemies does reduce xp received, it is not directly proportional to the amount of damage, and instead favours the player. Furthermore since it reduces the amount of time spent in each fight it actually increases overall xp gain by time.
  
• Disorient is an effect which prevents power activation, drops some toggles, and reduces movement to a very slow pace. It is also known as stun.
  
• DoT is an abbreviation for Damage over Time, and refers to damage that some powers do for several seconds after they first hit.
  
• Hold is an effect which prevents movement, prevents power activation, and also drops some toggles.
  
• Immobilize is an effect which prevents movement.
  
• Knock* means all three of knockback, knockdown, and knockup. Actually knockdown is really just knockback with a magnitude less than 1.
  
• Fear usually means Terrorize, but can also mean Flee.
  
• Flee is an effect which causes mobs to attempt to leave an area of effect. This does not affect players.
  
• -Fly is a debuff effect which prevents flight.
  
• Magnitude or Mag is the measure of strength of a status effect. When a status effect is applied it increases the magnitude of that effect on its target, and when the magnitude exceeds the target's protection to that status effect, the effect acts on them. For example, bosses typically have mag 3 hold protection, and a standard hold has a mag 3 effect. With a single hold on them, their protection is not exceeded, so there's no hold effect, but with two holds there is mag 6 of held being applied to them, exceeding their innate mag 3 protection, and they are subsequently held, unable to move and unable to activate powers.
  
• Mob is a mobile object, including friend and foe.
  
• Permadom is when Domination recharges before it expires, allowing the Dominator to activate it again and permanently receive the Domination buff.
  
• Sleep is an effect which prevents movement, prevents power activation and drops some toggles, but which is ended by healing, damage and many status effects. A new sleep effect won't end an old one, allowing it to be stacked, except for sleep powers that cause damage.
  
• Status Effect is a general word for hold, disorient, knockback, knockup, immobilize, confuse, terrorize and sleep.
  
• STH is an abbreviation for Single Target Hold.
  
• Stun is another word for disorient.
  
• Terrorize is an effect which prevents movement and prevents power activation, but whose effects are temporarily suspended when attacked.
  
• PBAoE is an abbreviation for Point-Blank Area of Effect, meaning it covers an area centered on the caster.
