So can doms do this?
Basically which of the following will have the highest end game performance capabilities? Also is it worth pursuing electric assualt? I had it in my mind with build up in electric assualt and a permadom build this would actually be one of the top end sets, is this correct? Earth Sucks is my Gravity/Earth at 40 (Earth doesn't suck its a play on an old physics joke, and its not funny enough to bother explaining outside of my character info sheet  ). He is my highest and was kind of an impulse build (never done either set before), I like him for the cool animations but the playstyle feels clunky and all smashing damage in earth really...sucks. The damage in the 40s feels real subpar.First Rule is my Gravity/Energy at 18. Again cool animations but it feels like too many ranged single target attacks, so a lot of what makes both sets fun gets wasted. Shock and Ashes is my Fire/Electric at 36. My first try at /electric and I thought it would be awesome but the lack of a decent ranged attack chain kind of bothers me. Blowing Your Mind is Mind/Electric at 12. Basically I still have this vision of electric assualt being awesome but needing another couple of ranged damage attacks to make it perfect. My high level gravity feels like a let down in the damage area so I was thinking Mind/Electric might be the perfect match but I dont want to push him up to the 40s to find he is sub standard at end game  .So will any of these doms please me end game the way I adore my fire/cold corruptor or my scrappers or am I going to feel let down? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated...even if you just want to bump your comment count . |
Grav/Earth - yeah this one would be rough. Grav is ranged control and /earth is melee assault. Schizo build.
Grav/NRG - good combo for single target progression, sucky for large groups. Keep your mob size low and you'll do fine. You can bump up the level of mobs as you get higher to compensate for xp loss.
Fire/Elec - another schizo build. Fire is a lot of melee control and elec is fairly heavy in range until you get all your punches. Could be the best combo so far for fast leveling and end-game use. Very offensive build I'd say.
Mind/Elec - probably your best combo. Has gobs of control with mind, lots of ranged options, and you could go melee once you have your controls and punches slotted up. Much more defensive (controlling) than fire/elec combo.
Please buff Ice Control.

I don't like playing Gravity. I had a Grav/Fire that made it to 6 then got his name typed in the box.
Fire/ is fun to play. You CAN play it effectively from anywhere, but as dark said, is best played in melee (Hot Feet and Cinders).
Mind/ is so much fun. This and fire are my most played control sets. Mind is open to cheap purples to easily get you to permadom. Can lock down groups easily. I love my fire/mind doms/controllers. You won't go wrong with either one.
EDIT: Get the Ice APP if you can. It is my favorite by far.
Have fun!!
Thanks for the input, still frustrated with my doms so may just go flavor of the month and go mind/fire. The previous fotm builds I have tried turned out to be a lot of fun and ended up at 50. Really not enjoying any of these doms other than the Mind/Electric. I do love the /earth assualt animations though. Maybe Mind/earth wouldnt be too bad? The aoe would seem to be at odds with most of minds powers though.
There are so many fun Doms you can play but Mind/ is fun.
Mind/earth can super hold stuff
