Just to view from a different perspective. (PSW)

I thought that's why Castle said - on every occasion PSW changes were mentioned - that he'd be increasing the rest of the set as well.

What do you want? An average AOE set with average ST or a great AOE set and average ST? If your answer is the former, then /fire, /thorns would be great for you.

The discussion is about current PSW. I didn't read Castle's post before saying that, but I welcome such a rebalancing.

Well, with build options

It is not a build option for a dom to have a st immob, a hold and an aoe mez. Every single primary has those.

If you consider primaries you just consider what they all have. Blasters: full ranged attack chains, doms: mez.

Well... To be strictly correct, Mind/ *doesn't* get an immob . We get a sleep instead. Not arguing with your basic point though, Dom's have GOBS more mitigation than Blasters, which makes PSW a lot more safe to use ::nods::.

My blaster can't AoE stun or AoE hold or AoE immob or AoE knockdown.

They also don't get ranged holds to deal with extremely problematic foes before they get there.

And once you jump into build options, although not part of the base design, the defense and resist modifiers of Doms is higher even than Scrappers meaning they get higher benefit from Tough and Weave (plus resist/defense PPPs) than anyone but Tankers.

As some one that has played blasters and doms: those holds add a LOOOOOOT of survivability, even the ST ones.

That 20% extra hp means they can take just 16% more damage, thats means that that 7 minions kill a blaster as fast as 6 minions kill a dom that just crosses his arms.

Ummm...
I'm not following you.

I think you're right on an AoE hold, but as for the rest... I mean I can post all those powers if you like.
Some of them you of course get from Epic, but they're there.
Ice has 2 ranged holds alone.

/Psi only has Psionic Lance and PSW that chart above moderate damage.

Is this really about inhibiting farming?
Which I don't do nor could I care less what anyone does.
Farmers are like water, they will find a way.

Best just to keep the content fun.

Leave mah dommy alone!
I just returned and am trying to figure out how to have some fun with her.

Fix content, not AT's.

He implied this but did not say it. With all the whining that is going on if I were him I would nerf PSW, make it so domination does not stack and call it a day out of spite. But then again I do not have to deal with the result of those actions.

We are talking about any primary. Ice is a very specific one. Although some do, quite a few blaster primaries don't get such tools, and the ones that do are in 20 second timers.

All doms, at minimum, get their one st hold at 8 seconds recharge.

Primaries aside, the AOE situation is more risky for a dom than a blaster.

Thanks for the laugh.
