Well honestly it's not a very hard debuff. And Pain dom has everything else as a buff.
Taking into account diminishing returns a debuff is still usefull. Plus the buffs are fairly spread out.
For example you fought some blaster in Issue 12, who you could hit for full damage because he's using Temp Invuln. Whereas most the damage you deal is energy and a bit of smashing and fire.
Now they have equal resist to energy, fire, and smashing. And pet damage did NOT get buffed. So in those cases I'd use Anguishing cry since you can only buff the bots damage slightly with WOP, and 1 bot at a time with Painbringer.

The most skippable power for pvp is the rez. And dependent on if you're a mastermind or not, the second most skippable power is enforced morale. Especially with the coming recharge change with i14.
Then arguably the next power you can afford to lose is share pain because in a Player vs. Player enviroment doing anything that limits your ability to directly heal yourself is bad, even if it's a great heal.
Though truth be told I hardly ever use it on my mastermind anymore.
So that's three powers you can skip (on a mastermind) before letting go of anguishing cry. Now, on a corruptor, one could still argue that conduit of pain can be skipped before anguishing cry. You don't need a rez in the arena, and hitting the hospital isn't that bad in zones.

I am a corr. Skipping the rez is really a no brainer. Skipping share pain seems pretty absurd. If I was thinking it was skippable I would have just rolled another therm. And saying a perception power is skippable seems wrong as well. Like I said the most skippable thing I saw was anguishing cry, debuffs aren't really that great and its pbaoe. The toon will be mostly for zone lulz.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

That's true. Huh. I guess I'm just sharing personal experience. He wasn't clear though on what it was.

Along with the obvious skippable powers, AC is pretty much the next most "skippable" power in PainDom.
So I have been leveling a pain dom up on Freedom of late. As I was poking mids I kept coming up one power short of being able to fit in everything I wanted. The most skippable power I saw was anguishing cry and was curious how people though about skipping it on a pvp build. I would post my build but I am stuck at work and just killing time.
