Well, it's 'buffs' and not 'changes.' That bodes well, right?
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Yeah, that wasn't there then. Way to rain on my parade, Europe! *shakes fist*
Well, I'm hoping anyways. Maybe we can get something from Posi when he's on later today.

Its way too soon to consider it a buff. We cant call it a buff till we see what it is and how it effects us overall. My guess is that it wont help us enough or have a negative impact on us. Not trying to be negative here, just looking at past stuff that has happened.

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
We don't know if it is truly a "buff" or a "change". Castle's first idea was to make that we can choose to have more control or more damage during Domination, which means Doms will always lose out on one aspect of Domination.
It will be tough to "buff" Dom while keeping the "thrill" of this AT. Some of my friends like Dominator specifically they hate the "easy-mode". They hate 'scrappers' with a passion.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
BABs just posted this. Not necessarily related to i15 and only in reference to Mind Doms, but a buff is a buff.

... hes just editing the animation time.....
On the side note, there are quite a few changes on secondary defensive sets in customized mobs. I didn't read the whole thing but I think mez protection is now only available to "extreme" bosses/lieuts? That will be a good help.

Trust me, for a Mind Dom this is a pretty huge buff. I have Confuse and Dominate next to each other, and despite the fact that they have the same mag of mez, hitting the right one can be the difference between life and debt. That three and a third second animation time really prevents it from being useful in battle.
Please let it be something that helps with the PToDs. The teammates-build-Domination-faster buff was nice, but the specific problems of the Archetype, the ones it's had all along, remain.
The 40+ game is a PITA for no good reason thanks to the arbitrary, broken mechanic of PToDs. Though happily we did get some tasty Patron Pool buffs (Power Surge FTW).
And I wouldn't say "no" to a Stone Assault set.

I'll chime in a bit here.
I've put together a list of potential changes for Dominators and sent the change list to a select few players for their feedback. I've collated that feedback...and that's where it sits. I've not had time to go back and alter the proposed changes based on that information.
What this means is that the Dom changes will probably be post I15 launch.
Cool, any chance at a quick run down? We would LOVE to speculate...

I won't go into specifics since, as I stated above, they are in a state of flux based on feedback. I will give you the list of goals we had going into it. It may sound familiar; I think I posted it a couple months back:
[ QUOTE ]
# Eliminate Jeckyll and Hyde feeling.
# Improve "feel" of low level play.
# Have minimal impact on "Perma-dom" players.
# Increase Dominator vs. Controller viability.

It's not like you need actual information to speculate.

True but from what I've seen they like to get " actual information" from people that don't even play the AT's.
Increase my viability when playing a dom? ARE you [censored] kidding me if your talking about pve?
