    Farming doms?

    Perhaps I just need to tweak my build a bit as I pretty much relied on PSW and drain psyche only from the /Psi set. Any other powers worth using now?
    Psychic Scream now does more damage than Psychic Shockwave. It's a cone though, so it won't be as easy as jumping in the middle and fire. It's still awesome though.

    Crushing Field is merely an AoE immob, which doesn't stop them from attacking you. Considering your Psi, I'd assume you'll be right in the middle of the mobs, so something more likely to prevent damage to you (Wormhole or GDF) would be pretty useful.

    As far as power pools are concerned, I always consider Hasten pretty useful, and nearly mandatory if your going for Perma-Dom.
  3. Well, Wormhole is essentially your only reliable AoE Control. Gravity Distortion Field (AoE hold) has a 4 minute recharge, and a pretty lackluster duration. I'd think you would feel pretty anemic on control w/o Wormhole. It's your "up every spawn" power in Gravity.

    Well, according to the "Show Details" window in-game, Mind Control's powers register as "Psionic". As opposed to Char registering as "Fire, Ranged". So, for example, Dominate would check against Psionic Defense to see if it were hit. Char would check against either Fire or Ranged (depending on if the toon were positional or elemental defense). Most attacks have and elemental and positional component to it.

    So, against a Super Reflexes character, Dominate would essentially pierce right through any amount of Positional defense (Ranged, Melee, AoE), since it doesn't check against that.

    Your experience may be in the difference between Positional defense (SR Scrappers) and Damage Type defense (Ice or Invuln Tankers). Mind is strong against Damage Type defenses, as relatively few power sets contain Psionic defense. However, against positional defense, your ranged attacks are as crappy as everyone else's. Would that explain what you are seeing?
    As far as I know, all of Mind Control's powers are non-positional, instead registering as "Psionic". Telekinesis is a toggle, so has no "attack type" assigned to it.

    Why is that "fix'd" ?
