I would just like to say for the record that the Patron Powers for Dom’s are SEVEARLY lacking all the way around. ALL the other AT’s get something that they don’t get in there primary or secondary or they get something that fleshes out existing powers.

Brutes and Stalkers get some ranged attacks AND a hold not to mention a snipe for stalkers. Masterminds and Corrupters get some AOE’s and hold/immobilizes. The pets that some of the other AT’s get are boss lvl pets. Two of the Dom Patrons offer an endurance drain that already exists in some Dominator sets. Dom’s do get a shield and ANOTHER pet that won’t listen and agro everything in sight.

Dom’s are su-do support with there holds yet we don’t get anything to go with that no heals, buffs, not even a hold/immobilize to help out our already gimped control and laughable damage. Before anyone says “no one is forcing you to take a Patron” I know that I don’t HAVE to take a Patron. I would just like to see the Dom choices to be on par with all the other AT’s.

….end rant.

Patron Powers are truly permanent. This powerset, once chosen, is as much a part of your character as your Name, Primary Powerset, Secondary Powerset, Body Type, and Origin.

There is currently no way for us to let you re-spec out of them and into a different one. This is because it is tied to specific content for that Patron.

Because of this, hard numbers are given, in-game, about the powers and what they do before you even choose which arc you wish to partake (and will most likely be available on the website as well).

Well they had better be BALANCED and ready for the long term with NO nerfs and or buffs to be announced later if we can’t change them down the road like the heroes can.

Let’s say someone is deciding between Ghost Widow and Black Scorpion as there patron. Said person picks Ghost Widow and down the road it gets changed in some way or nerfed and no longer fits the idea of the character or is as effective as before the change. Now Black Scorpion fits better in said person’s build/idea for their character because the original patron was altered. That person is STUCK with the now altered/changed patron and can’t change it.

Heroes can change theirs though. What gives?
