I start seeing more PvPing Dominators each day

I saw 4 Dominators in Bloody Bay today when I was collecting Shivan Shards for the Arachnoid EB Biff (which I couldn't take on, his regen was far too high) and checked the /whoall to see if I could suspect any action on the way; 3+1 Dominators (including me) and they were taking on a Defender and a Scrapper, which didn't have Breakfrees, no need to say, they pretty much pulverized them.

After defeating Biff, and after a nice teaming with a Brute and a Corruptor I decided to have a look on Siren's Call, whee, 2 other Dominators there! Both of them were Mind/Nrg, and I started wondering why exactly Dominators suddenly became so hot? Is it because leveling became much easier with the 50% boost to Domination building? Did someone make an inspiring video of a Dominator showing how you defeat squishies without mezprotection along with some catchy songs? Already seen the Dominator-in-teh-PvP-boom on both US and EU boards but didn't suspect it could go this far, as in people actually leveling (or PLing) Dominators strictly for PvP.


And I also see less Corruptors in PvP zones too a connection perhaps?

What is this about defeating squishies? The dominator's favorite pvp food is resistance-/regeneration-based scrappers/tankers.... (not defense-based ones, they are too damn hard to hit)

_o/ Made mine the moment the big "dominators for the lose in pvp" -discussion began here, just to prove it wrong. That was on the 14th December (maybe the 15th). Omega Patient is now lv 35 and finally fit for Warburg - and the character has been made with only pvp in mind. Leveled up as fast as possible, but it has slowed down as I've been stuck in the pvp zones more and more each day

Union Sirens last night saw a (or at least one) team of 4 Corruptors and friends tearing up the place - as you'd expect. I wouldn't start tolling the DOOM bell for Corruptors just yet.

Like Alvan, I read the thread about how gimped Dominators are and thought I'd make my own. I only got to start with her yesterday, but I think it's the fastest I've ever got to level 7 and that was without doing any missions or teaming.

Thanks to my Altism I had to make the thing on Deviant, so I'm hoping that PVP isn't totally devoid of life by the time I hit the requisite level.

Yeah over the past 2 weeks now while hunting toxic's in sirens (on defiant btw) i couldnt help but notice the increase of dominators showing their faces in sirens and heading my way.

Yeah, I have seen more. My villain SG has more Dominators than any other AT, in fact, and quite a few of those are PvP-spec. Mind you, quite a number of those were made before the changes came in, although my two most recent dedicated PvP Doms are recent alts.

As Syn said though, there was an awesome Corruptor team in Union Siren's last night, though, so I wouldn't agree they're on the decline. I've actually been back in PvP on my Corruptors more recently than the last couple of months.

I toyed around with one a while ago, but it was only when I decided I needed to get some villain alts up to pvp levels that I really pushed at one. So far they are one of the most fun villain ATs I have played.

Of course getting knocked out the sky repeatidly by Dalron Burner might of helped :P
