Do the presence fears benefit from Domination?


When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...


BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

So I tried a "master of fear" mind dom build awhile ago. Yes domination effects the mags of the fears (but not the provoke).

So it makes both Intimidate and Invoke Panic a little more useful. I found the cons of losing a power pick to Provoke and their relative weakness outside of Domination not worth it. Of course my mind energy wasn't Perma at the time.

I think Intimidate is a Mag 2 (with a chance for extra bit of mag..i forget how much) as well.

If your bored and want to give this a try as a perma dom build..I say go for it. But other than for novelty I wouldn't recommend it.


My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

It's only really good if you lack for a PBAOE control, don't have a damage aura and really want some extra recharge from the taunt sets. So no fire/ or /earth. I can see a Grav going for it, to have a better every-spawn power.

(GRAVITY IS FINE)

ok, now I'm tempted to get the presence pool on a Dominator. It worked semi-wonders on my Invul Tank before I respec'ed it out. So might be worth giving it a spin.

Now to determine which primary can use it better (besides the FINE Gravity), my Mind/Energy dom would be the most thematically fitting, but he has plenty of Mass Lockdown already...

Just be careful you don't wed it to a spamhappy DoT like Fire Cages. Could be useful on Ice, but I have no idea on how Ice plays.

Mind actually sounds like a great fit. Its the only set that easily would let you stack Fear Magnitude with Terrify. And since Terrify is a good lead-in power, sounds like a great combination.

I may have to consider it on my Mind-Rad controller (even though he doesn't have domination).
