Can't slot Drain Psyche with ACC enhancements - not yet anyway...

We heard you the first time


And yeh, gravity does indeed, r0xorz! Makes for brill concepts too =)

A good controller shouldn't have to rely on pets thats my ethos, later on in the levels 90% of the controllers neglect their other powers and just leave it all to the pets. Don't be like that-Learn to survive without pets.

Hmmm *thinks back to pre-Issue 5*

Now that was relying on pets, as far as pre-I5 controllers are concerned - gone are the days when I could summon 4 phantasms at once

I think controllers are more cautious now with their pets - they're more of a support to the player now so we should really work as a duo in battles, rather than letting them do all the work.

They play differently from Controllers IMHO so there is a possibility that people who played controllers in COH tried them, and didn't like them. Where as those that couldn't get on with Controllers have avoided them, thinking they'd be like a controller

Does that make me a first then? Although i must admit, I've not played mine in ages.

Yeh I realised later what you said and couldn't be bothered changing it

Dominators are not meant to be for damage dealing IMO. Yeh, the damage is lame, but seriously, what was it you expected - they are a mix of controllers and combinations of mostly blaster/defender/tanker secondary, which makes them who they are, although leaning more towards the controllery way. (ie. we only have some of the powers from a particular secondary set - so should we have some of our controller powers taken away too, and get more offensive type holds(more DoT?) or even less variety in the holds (more single target?)? or Should we be allowed to better blasting (that's what the secondaries mainly are) sets since the secondaries do crap damage compared to the Hero versions anyway and since we can have access to all the controller powers, isn't it only fair? But that's for a whole different thread!)

Anyway, back on topic =)

I didn't find the Singularity as good as I was expecting it to be, but that's not to say it isn't useful or effective if you play with it.

It'll happily keep foes busy, even if it's not doing the greatest of damage, constantly Lifting, Holding and Immbolizing - main thing? Don't expect it to do damage - instead use it as if it were a gravity controller.

Also, it's repel effect can be a godsend! Use it to block pathways from mobs who've been aggroed, or even better (and funny!) summon it in the middle of a group of mobs who've been aggroed accidently. Stand under it to help handle melee'ers

I think Singularites need extra loving from devs, and would like them to be heal-able.


At the end of the day, I play an AT that's fun for me and has a variety of powers, who shines in teams.

Have fun playing your dominators!

PS. Do you mean Psionic Dart and not Power Push Crystalwolf?

Yo Grim,

I might be able to arrange that for you since I know a few people with thermal secondaries.

No need to give away anything


Will send you a tell in game

Couldn't agree more - once the holds are slotted, that's where the fun begins.

Popping an +ACC inspiration helps too if your're not sure if your hold's gonna hit.

I don't think corrupters "need" us when using their nuke, but I would say that because we're a support AT, we tend to support damage dealing ATs very, very nicely.

Just backing up what Kaya said, be aware of your surroundings and what his happening.

If someone's health is going down, chances are they have the mob targetted, and assuming you have the team window open (why wouldn't you?), target through that person.


As for powers, go for which one you like, just experiment - I have numerous controllers, but I dunno, fire control just isn't "for me" :P

Also depends on how your play style is.

Good things and bad things have been said about Drain Psyche, and I was advised not to take it - but what the hell, I took it anyway to see how it was for myself - and I would suggest you do the same if anything, as you can always respec it out later.

I use it when I have held a group of foes, as it is bound to hit one of them, even if doesn't, at least they can't attack - recharge takes a fair while, so I assume it's 180 seconds as mentioned previously.

I will keep hold of Drain Psyche and soon will respec out of the fitness pool to take different pools for concept reasons.

Try First Page - I swear by it, (or swore by it) when I used to have a site

I didn't ask for the bar to be full as soon as we enter the zone.

And how is increasing the rate at which it increases, even slightly compare to blasters doing x4 their damage?

All I'm asking is for dominators be given a chance to use their inherent ability, without the need to have to raise a full bar at its current rate before fighting a hero.

Blaster hurt more than Dominators. When you get hurt, you do more damage.

Dominator bars only increase if they get a chance to hit. Even when something hits, it only raises up a few points - bearing in mind it also reduces too overtime.

I don't see it a problem if they increase the rate a little, just so we have a chance to use it. How daft is it to spend 5 minutes each time you wanna kill someone, just so your bar can raise up to max.

If that's the case, what about making it last longer? That'd be fun

You could get it ready on some of the NPC mobs in the zone before you go and try to splat some heroes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Why should we have to, when every other ATs kicks in as soon as they start fighting?

Maybe they should increase the rate at which it goes up in PVP, maybe multiplying the rate by 3 or 4

After battling yesterday with another controller, I came to the (maybe sudden) conclusion, that there is no point in domination in PVP, as dominators are usually dead before you get a chance to get your bar up.

What do you think?

Any feedback from dominators would be appreciated

I second that offer

You can have mine too - I don't think they live up to the hype around them, I guess it comes down to playstyle.

They do look pretty though

Um...can we possibly get back on topic please? - ta

Now...when you use your domination power, does your pet, or your pet's powers (holds if anything) last longer as your powers would do?

That's what I was trying to get at

Oops yeh I meant Domination - twas after midnight

Yo all

For those of you have who had the chance to experience a higher level dominator, (post 32 when you've got your pet), how does Containment affect it? Are pets even affected?
