Both are good for PvP. If you want more damage go fire (fiery embrace) But if you want decent damage but better control go energy.
I would probably go energy, power boost is just to useful.
Hi m8,
nice to see u round Dom boards, kosmos.
Well, IMO, for PvP purposes maybe i should get /fire, for the Fiery Embrace bonus. It just double ur dmg for 20 secs, and that is a nice bonus for a long time... /ngr has a bonus power more defensive, makin ur controls longers, but finally, ur enemy will stand there, and u need to kill him, not to nullify him (well, both things, but u dont need to make longer the nullify time, imo)
Also, if u roll a fire/fire (actually, i have my hottie in lvl16), and u press the FE, ur monkeys will be affected with that bonus (or that is what i have heard) if u summon them after the FE was pressed, so ull be a hard hitter, outdmging some other ATs and almost all dominators...
I dont have much PvP experience, but i feel that power is GOLD for PvP, having the chance of double ur dmg (and remember that aim/BU only last 10secs). The problem with FE is that it dont add ACC, so u will need to slot ur powers wisely... And for the fact of DoT, all the powers do really nice dmg, and add 3 ticks of DoT for the burn effect, so much better.
In mind/ set, i have heard that Telekinesis is awesome in PvP, but I havnt tested this set...
Well, thats are my opinions bout the best pvp dominator. Just call me in SG chat if u need me, m8.
Peace.
Fire does do better damage, especially with Fiery Embrace, but it seems to me that the main problem with /Fire in I7 pvp is that Flares is such a sucky power to build Domination with due to short range and long activation time. That said Power Bolt doesn't look too hot either but at least it's better than Flares. Maybe it depends on what you want to concentrate on. In team pvp your primary is probably going to play a much more important role than your secondary and Power Boost helps with that. In duels though, maybe more damage from /Fire is the winner.
Actually I think Ice looks the best secondary for PvP. You get short activation times, very useful secondary effect and Power Boost. This is all in theory, though, as Ice is the only one I've played to 40.
Hey guys,
I've rolled a Mind/NRG Dom for PvP purposes, but I keep hearing fire does better dmg then /NRG. I was wondering what people here thought about the subject: which is better for PvP, /NRG or /Fire?
It's pretty much been proven that /fire does quite a lot more damage. However this is damage over time, while /NRG does burst damage, which can be very usefull in PvP.
So what do peopl here think? /NRG or /Fire? And why?
