The black scorpion shield is a defence shield, the others are resistance based. They all give approximately same number of damage mitigation but of course Aim and such will hit straight through a def based shield. It might stop some mezzes as a bonus, though.
I think poisonous ray is 15% -res, so just basically 15% extra damage for the duration.
Power Sink Rocks.
I really should do something about this signature.

Im under this impression as well. Plus the elec armor is propably the best epic/PPP armor.
Sorry to ask here, but where can I find a list of Patron Pools for Dominators, including lists of powers and what they do?
Can't seem to find one, yet there's probaly one right underneath my nose.
Well if you go read the various plaques by the various patron statues it give you all the detailed information. If you want a site can use this one here.

Can you stack various poisonous rays on each other? It says the recharge time is under 30 seconds.

Well then, none of them seem that useful for PvP....
They all have about one power in each I can see viable for PvP.
Myself, I've been thinking of taking Mako, Scircococococo or Black Scorpion as my patrons.
Mako - Water spout, Chum Spray seem like decent powers, toxic damage is largtely unresisted in PvP and Water Spout looks like an amusing control devise that would give me 3 AoE controls on my character. His armour seems pants though.
Scirococococo - Power Sink also looks good, but is it viable for PvP? Can I get bonus end from it, just with one other person near me? That looks awesome, the armour OK. Rest of the set seems a bit skippable for PvP
Black Scorpion has a good pet for PvP and a toxic based single target attack. The armour looks OKish.
Not sure, it depends how good power sink is! :S
Soul pet has + perception, that would be the bonus of that set

Poisonous rays from different characters should stack, but not from the same character.
I expect the debuff duration is more like 5 secs anyway.
I really should do something about this signature.
I think (depending on the kind of PvP we're talking about), the best way would be probaly Power Sink, then the armor (which is the best out of all of them yes?) and leave it at that.
Of course if it's duels you want it built for then the Pet would be a good bet as well.
Still a lil confused though.
Havent got high enough for patrons yet but in pvp I find endurance a bit of a non issue because 20 seconds I'll either hit domination and get full end, or I'll be waking up in the hospital. Drain psyche also helps keep me going for those times where I manage to get domination off.

I recommend the Prima guide, you should find a link to it somewhere from the COH front page.
I wonder if Scirocco's pet is worth taking for its heal?
Guess it wouldn't be much use in team PvP but might be handy in 1Vs1.
How does Water Spout differ from Tornado? If it's the same power then how does the damage differ from a defender's tornado damage?
I've heard tornado is a great PvP power although don't really PvP much myself. For an AT with aoe immob and pets that spam AoE immobs I would imagine water spout would be fantastic in PvE as well.

Definitely yes:
Today I was doing a Story Arc for Magus Mu'Drakhan, at level 39. During the mission I got myself a Mu Guardian pet, who was level 40. He activated the heal when I got a bit hurt, y'know, lose 30% of your health, and it healed for 190ish. When slotted up for 3 heals, it'll be almost double of that, and at level 40!
Going to pick Scirocco on my level 39 Dom (7 bars to go to 40!) and slot the Mu for 3rechg and 3heal, making him a buff-bot.
I think it would be great in both team and 1 v 1 PvP, as the pet stays in the fight even when you die, and will stay to heal your teammates, as usual. It will be a godsend for me for the oh-so-frequent Spines Scrappers' Impale which just does too much damage with BU and the Toxic damage in the end making it worse.
Plus, Scirocco has a beard.
Hey all, just thought I get afew opinions on which patron I should perhaps go with. Abit about my dom first, its a Plant/Psionic who I fancy using for abit of pvp. However im just really torn on which patron to choose. Im leaning more towards Black Scorpions so that I get poisonous ray which says it does abit of damage but perhaps more importantly/useful is the reducing of resistance to 15% for 30 seconds (I hope I have read that correctly). The only really negative thing I can see is that its armour resistance is alot poorer when compared to others (it offers 11.25% defense whilst others give 20.62%)
The other patron I thought would be useful was Scirocco's who will give me better shield defence and a way of nicking endurance from people. The other patrons just dont seem to be that appealing.
I think whats holding me back is im just not sure how effective say Black Scorpions poisonous ray would be. I would prefer doing teamed pvp. People carry around break frees so whilst my holds might not be able to do much, if I can make them that much easier to hit and kill then I will be able to contribute abit more to a team then say from using a different patron.
Anyway, look forward to seeing some replies/ideas/suggestoins/arguments to my dilema.
