Wandering what you guys think about Mako vs. Mace for the following doms:

Earth/Energy
Mind/Fire

in small arena matches? I'm leaning towards Mace, especially for the Mind/Fire, because Hibernate seems to just delaying getting killed a lot of times and I could use the -def, but the thought of no phase or heal and only PFF and greens kinda scares me

Imo, doms are not what they used to be for small team arenas. I'd recommend another AT entirely. Doms do very well in 8v8s or even some 5v5s.

Disagree mind/** doms can do pretty well in small team arena, even suparsing most ATs once you factor in TK.

For the OP it boil down to what you plan on doing the most, for 2vs2 and 3vs3 I would go PFF for poison ray since chances are you will have a healer/buffer on your team. As for duels PFF can still work but hiber is the better choice.

Yeah, after I15 a Dom is more like a slightly lower-damage Blaster that can also effectively remove an opponent from a fight for 8+ seconds.

Nanu's got it right regarding the patron pools - PFF is awesome in zones and in team matches but for dueling I'd go Leviathan.
