I suppose this is a good change...though tbh i'd have rather they keep them short range but make thier damage come under the dominators melee range modifyer, you have to virtually be in melee range anyway and my doms tend to blap anyway...you wont kill very much staying at range.
I find it amusing (by which i mean saddening) that the top tier nrg and thorn attacks (the ones i have experience with) do less damage than the lower teir melee attacks (i.e. TF and ripper).

In related news:
Castle has confirmed that the range for Dominators' Impale is not going to be reduced in line with the Scrapper/Stalker versions!

Impale for Dominators is not being reduced in range.
As for the Toggle Dropping of attacks like Blaze, the values have NOT been reduced, but I will be datamining to see if Dominators become 'too good' in PvP because of it. My expectation is that it won't be a problem but it is a red flag area I'm paying close attention to.

Oh and impale...meh...tbh most of the time it feels like it's just taking valuable time from my attack chain by taking so long to activate.

I feel that way for most of my attacks.
Just a FYI for those who don't read the US boards:
It's been confirmed that the short-range Dominator attacks will be increased in range in line with the Blaster/Defender/Corruptor variants - however they didn't do them in time for the latest patch on Test. So not yet, but coming soon!

Has anyone heard anything on if we will get the ranges increased on blaze, power burst, etc?
Or, will fire assault get the same buffage as fire blast is receiving?

I PM'd _Castle_ about this over the weekend. I'm guessing Fire Doms got missed. His reply was simple and to the point- Coming soon! (that was the exact quote)
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, the changes to Dominators didn't get made at the same time the Blaster/Defender changes were (different spreadsheets.) So, like I said, 'Coming soon!'
