Any suggestion on Patrons?

Hi guys, I'm playing a Mind/nrg domi, who is actually lvl 24, with a regular team.

I think that playing it just once per week as I'm doing atm (no farming, and I will be out on holiday the next Double XP weekend ) it will take me quite some time to lvl him up enough to choose a proper Patron, but I was wondering which one you would me suggest to pick up... I've been reading powers available for Dominators according to Paragon Wiki and all ht them have interesting ones:

- Scirocco: obviously you always want more endurance, so Power Sink, and later on Power Surge.
- Mako: I'd like to have this one at least in one of my villains, since I haven't played him yet, and it seems a good chance because of Water Spout and Hibernate.
- Black Scorpion: Personal Force Field seems cool, besides Disruptor Blast, but I'm not confident on this Patron.
- Ghost Widow: very cool, Dark Consumption, Dark Embrace, Soul Drain.

As I said, all of the have nice powers for Dominators, I'd probably pick Mako because didn't run him yet, but that's why I'm asking from more experienced dominators to suggest me which one to pick.

Mine's Mako. Run Shark Skin all the time, and Water Spout is a good panic button.

Only one other dominator I know has a patron that isn't scirocco, though. Seems people get a bit endurance and health drunk with power sink and Summon Mu Heal0r

I've gone with Ghost Widow on my Ice/Psi purely for Dark Obliteration (my dark 'fireball'). The shield is not too bad, the pet has quite a decent snipe that can't be interupted (plus +perception in a flakey way for you). Not sure how Soul Drain will work out with the AT changes and the recharge time on Dark Consumption put me off totally from selecting (besides the refill when entering dom mode).

Scriocco has alot of good powers to offer, a decent ranged AoE that you lack, a pet that can heal and not be healing your pet(s) cos you have none, a faster recharging endurance refiller and a 'god' mode power.

Scorpy has the only +Def/+Res(Toxic) shield, a very cool pet (alot of nice powers that mesh well), a good panic button, a somewhat iffy AoE blast and a nice single target debuff.

Mako is perhaps the weakest imho for yourself, the pet I'm somewhat a fan of but not many are, the shield noise loops (or at least it did on my last go), the cone is very pleasing graphically and does the least resisted type of damage and Hybern00b is a handy panic button. Water Spout is pure win tho and just alot of fun. If nothing else your alt build should have Water Spout in it

Yeah, I have the Mu healbot, and it is very useful. Power Sink can be used offensively with Build Up too.

However, with the issue 15 changes +dmg powers are now more useful, so I would seriously consider going for Soul Drain, especially if you don't already have an Aim/BU power.


I really should do something about this signature.
