It depends on your playstyle and strategy. A perma Dom can triple stack Seeds of Confusion even using a level 30 set of Malaise in Seeds.
AA won't come close to that.

All I can say is that my Ice Dom respecced out of Arctic Air after almost never seeing it confuse anything, even with IOs in it, and my Plants Dom fell in love with Seeds of Confusion from the moment they got it, no enhancements or anything.

Against Confuse resistant enemies like Nemesis, certainly; Arctic Air is a Confuse/Slow/Fear power, not just a Confuse power. And AA would work better when you are encountering enemies faster than Seeds can recharge. That said, Seeds is probably better in most circumstances.|

I am just wondering which one of these is better overall. I was thinking of slotting both with the Coercive Persuasion set including Contagious Confusion proc. When I look at mids it seems that confuse wise SoC annihilates AA, but from my experience with SoC they can miss obviously and some things like nemesis seem VERY resistant to confuse. If I stay in melee would AA end up being better in the end? There is no Acc check is there? When slotted out it has a 6 second confuse which can probably overlap or almost instantly confuse again when it wears off? The only other thing I notice is that domination seems to have NO effect on AA at all which sucks, but doubles the mag on SoC. Does anyone have any experience with both of these powers at high levels? I have a L50 plant controller, but obviously that won't tell me the whole story of plant as a dom with domination active. TYVM for any comments.
