Mind Control - Terrify

Posted

Heya all, i've gone and made a mind/energy dom, really liking it so far (lvl 8).

had a little question though, how useful is Terrify? according to my planner the base acc is very low and the recharge is quite long in comparison to the duration of the fear. so, worth taking? when i get there that is

Terrify is totally über

Your planner is propably wrong, its got great duration if you compare it to Total domination which is pants. It doesnt take many slots to perma, and easily is with just power boost.

I recommend you get telekinesis and leave total domination until much later, btw.

ps. The only drawback of terrify is that if you use it as opener, the mobs get their alpha strike off before getting terrified.

It's accuracy modifier is 0.9, which is good for AoE control, most of them are 0.8. The base fear duration at L50 is 22.35 secs, and considering the base recharge is merely 40 secs, it's pretty damn nice. Not to mention it also does decent AoE damage, and is pretty big cone.

I just meant to ask, what does the second entry in nofuture mean? Is that the domination version?

[/ QUOTE ]Can't be anything else, although the way it's marked is very cryptic (Pardon the pun), and makes one wonder if domination was meant to work differently at some point during the design. (Another interesting thing to note that both domination and fury use 'rage' as the unit of measurement)

As Max said, another reason to go with Terrify over Mass Domination is the damage. As a Mind/Energy dom it's the best AoE damage you're going to get and it's not too shabby. Plus the range and width of the Terrify cone is surprisingly big.

okay, thnx for all the nice info peeps, terrify is back on the list then, about taking Telekinesis first and push Total Domination i'll just have to see how i do, will go for the build i have for now taking total domination when i get that far and try it out, then hit the test server and respec it for telekinesis and see what works best for me

To help you decide, heres teh numbers:
duration 12 seconds, recharge 4 minutes. Do the math yourself , plus it has the worst base accuracy of your AOEs. Its pretty pointless to have until 3-slotted with duration SOs and used with power boost.

Total domination has a tendency to drop off my future respec builds..

well looking at the base numbers (comparing it to my fire/kin troller) Total Domination pretty much identical to Cinders, only differense is that the base duration on Cinders (for trollers) is 10 and TD for the domi is 8, other than that they're the same and Cinders was mighty useful. but i'll be trying both Telekinesis and TD to see wich suits me the best, if not both.

You could check the thread about my own build , although it is inclined toward pvp.
