1) Controls and Dominators have essentially the same primary powers, with Controllers only having one additional set (Illusion).
2) Controllers have a support (buff/debuff) secondary while Dominators have an Assault secondary (mix of melee and ranged attacks).
3) Controllers have stronger controls out of the box and their inherent allows them to do additional damage to mobs controlled by their primary (Containment).
4) Dominators have slightly weaker controls and middle of the road damage from their secondary. They can temporarily double the effectiveness of their mez powers, resist all mez types and regain endurance with their inherent power, Domination.
There's a lot I'm glossing over here, but that's the gist of the two ATs. Though their primaries are practically identical, their playstyles are very different. Many (not all) controllers play best as a support character, locking down mobs and becoming (in effect) a damage modifier for your team. Dominators similarly can lock down mobs, but take a much more aggressive approach to simply blasting away at the mobs directly.
ok i know nothing bout playing controllers and dominators. can someone give me the info on what controllers main and secondary. and what is that special power controllers have and what it does. and what is differance between controllers and doms. and if and why you prefer one over the other. and what there special powers do that is different. i am reading up but i just want first hand.
