Be sure to take and slot fire blast, blaze, dominate, confuse, terrify, and mass confusion. The rest are up to you. I highly recommend hasten and stamina as well.
Minimal advice: take Dominate, skip Total Domination, evenly balance your power picks and slots across both your primary and secondary.

Builds with high global recharge and Power Boost can get a lot out of the power, but for others it may be a waste of slots.
Total Dom is pretty useless when you can CC a mob without it.

Hmm so for my lvling build I will drop it but I guess it's wise to get it when I get permadom as that's what my pve build will be in the end.
Thanks
I use Total Dom all the time on my dom, staggered with Mass Confusion and Hasten running it helps minimize the reliance on Terrify.

No offense, but doesn't this usage of "CC" seem a bit odd? If you parse it out you get: "[Total Domination] is pretty useless when you can crowd control a group of enemies without it." Just seems redundant to me. It would be especially bizarre if one were to take "mob" to mean a single enemy, as it is sometimes used, then it would just be plain paradoxical as one enemy does not a "crowd" make.|

Sorry for the semantic tangent, you may now return to this thread, already in progress.

While it doesn't help with the copy/paste, you can always try this planner instead. (Suckerpunch's. Also on the titan network.) |

And enjoy the mind/fire. It's one of the most fun characters I think I've ever played... just need to get that last few levels in on mine (44 right now. Bumped up my difficulty at level... oh, 3 or so, and never looked back.)

Yea sorry I never refer to anything in CoX using "CC", I blame Aion, I'm also playing that. |

so I've had a mind/fire for quite a long time, and cant settle on a good build for pvp. 'd love some help here ^^
I went with a ranged fighting build. I skipped the melee powers and took the ranged controls and ranged fire. nothing like a solo spawn locked down and breathe fire on them
I would take mass hypnosis over total DOM. Mostly for control of extra spawns.
I did take TK as an experiement but use it rarely.
Its been a lot of fun.

On a team Mass Hypnosis is a waste.. Since most gear for the AoE dmg. First hit on a foe and they awake and ready to attack.

Its a waste if you use it unwisely like that. What I use it for it to lock out the next spawn that might aggro and cause a team wipe or ambush management before the AOE happy spaz on the team gets to them.|

Some teammates want me to use it first so everyone gets a free Fulcrum shift boost aggro free.

Hi all
I'm pretty new to the dom class (I leveled one once in i7 till lvl 10) but now I would wish to give them a go.
I'm set on mind/fire and luckily for me it's a good firsttimer dom combo or so I've read, but is there any chance you guys could provide some middle of the road builds whilst leveling up - what skill is mandatory etc. just to get a general idea.
I found a guide on mind/fire from i9 but alot of people disaggreed with it so I'd rather not focus on that guide.
Thanks
