Domination building idea

Would this work? Slotting 3 end reds in the snipe and continuously interrupting it before combat to build domination? I was thinking of how to build domination fast out of combat, and this idea came to me, as there's no recharge if you interrupt. Will it still get the domination? And would it be efficient with end reds? I know snipes cost alot of end.

Yes.

Erm, probably not. I could get about 10% dom before I ran out of end with my snipe, so I imagine with 3 end reds, you'd get to 20% dom instead. Of course, the dom bar takes a while to clear, so you could easily let your end build back up and start again without losing much.

Also of note - non-targeted AoEs such as Ice Sword Circle, Psychic Shockwave and Drain Psyche can also build up Dom, and are likely to cost less end.

With 3 end reds, psi lance costs 7.28 end. How much end do you get per attack, and how does it change in teams again?

Aye, it works great -ofcourse every dom has hasten
I picked this up some time ago. Good for building up domi while waiting.
Psychic shockwave, combustion and whirling hands work best due to their relatively short recharge time. Also smoke from fire primary works great!

Sorry, I don't understand this question.

You mean the increased Dom from being in a team? I can't remember the formula, but in a large team, you can easily get a full bar from nothing in 1-2 spawns. It's a whole lot easier just to fight normally than fiddle around with tricks like this. The only exception I can think of is if you're about to solo an boss/EB and have no Dom, in which case just slap a hold on a minion from the previous spawn and dance the brawl/psionic dart two-step on his head.

3 points per attack solo, I think.

I think there is something terribly wrong with this thread. The whole thing implies that there are pauses between combat - even long enough to snipe several times - which is, of course, complete and utter nonsense.




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

I can only really think of two possible uses for this tactic. One would be if I'd just been defeated by a tough boss/EB and I wanted to have domination ready for round two. Although it would probably be more efficient to kill some mobs outside the mission. The other use would be to build domination for zonal PvP within the safe confines of the base.

As you said, there are usually better methods for "round two" and to self-buff for PvP like this... Well, let´s say it´s similar to not leaving the base without your lvl38 armour as scrapper/stalker/brute. It´s definitely safer, but it smells a little bit cheesy.

That's kinda the idea. Looking at Aid Other, I see it has a cost of 6.5, which could have a slot or so thrown in and be interrupted for use on a pet as a cheap alternative?
