Great post. The "find 3 uses for..." motif is too structured for me (sounds like homework!), but I agree with the ideas.

Sure, the guy next to you has been hitting two buttons over and over and gets a Nice heal at the end of a big fight. Let it go. You just had way more fun than he did.

True, and very well said! I've been having tons-o-fun playing my Dom due to the "zen" of mixing control and damage reactively.

You are squishy, and can die at any moment. Be bold anyway! Why? Because it's infinitely more fun. Take a long jump over the MM's bots, land in the middle of a pack who are beating on the brute, and cast your PBAOE hold and maybe a PBAOE damage to boot. Bounce off the ground by jumping backwards out of the pack, and getting a good camera view to pick up on any targets with the word "Missed!" above their heads. Before you have landed, have that enemy targeted, assess their health, and have a single hold or damage heading their direction.

Exactly that move is probably the most fun I've had in this game over my several months of subscription. I got into using that type of move with my rad/rads but it's even more enjoyable as an ice/ice Dom! Love Hurdle+CJ for this (and an outdoors mish), timing it so it looks like the force of my Circle Sword propels me back into the air out of the pack.

Of course, it's helpful to know when the above tactic is folly and death. But its most fun to pull off when youre right on that line

"Fun" is relative! I'd say pulling that move is most
thrilling while flirting with death. But it's most
fun--or satisfying--to me when I time it just so that my Circle Sword kills a bunch of the mob. <grin>
