Hello,

I'd like some critical eyes over my latest plans for my Dominator. I really like my Dom, my first toon I made, and first 50. The changes made me lose a lot of my feel for it though and respecing was needed.

I was drained of End very fast.
I was about 70% +recharge with hasten ontop of that, which meant fast recycling attacks without enough to permadom End worries away. I also had a lot of attack powers I didn't need to have thanks to wonderful recharge.

I like being able to AoE, and to focus towards ranged more than melee.

The latest build (below) I'm thinking of - well I've probably over slotted health but I'd like to fit the shinies (Miracle/Numinas) in.

I aim on getting more purples along the way, but this is pretty close to what I have to work with for now inf-wise.

Thinking of dropping superjump (hello Ninja run + raptor pack), but not sure whats viable to put in its place.

I like Mu mastery, for theme of character as well as power choices though its really tempting to pick Mace so I can squeeze another LoTG in.

I'm still debating the fighting pool, but dropping it would mean I need hover to dump a LOTG in, and the other power picks saved just be extra attack powers.

Enough rambling, here's the build.

Have you considered the Leadership pool instead of Fighting?

There's two spots for LotG in there. If you had one of the sets with Power Boost it would be a lock; PB+Vengeance is a thing of beauty, but even without PB, Maneuvers, Assault/Tactics and Vengeance are a pretty significant team contribution.

No I hadn't considered it, but leadership sounds like a very good idea, thank you. Especially the two spots for LoTG.
