figured i would put up my build for critiquing... just wondering if i really need that much recharge, or can i rearrange some things for a tad more survivability, since domination doesn't affect static field and synaptic overload. and yes i know it will probably be an expensive build.

It looks to me like Elec/Thorn is going to have the same sort of anti-synergy as Elec/Fire - the DoT will wake things up from Static Field. Still, Elec/Fire has been said to be workable, so maybe Elec/Thorn could too...
I can't say much about the rest, but with that slotting I hope Jolting Chain is just there to be a set mule, because actually using it with knockback enhancement sounds to me like a creative suicide method.
thank you for the reply. I didn't even think about the DoTs effecting the sleep from static field.
and yes, jolting chains was just meant as a et mule for the recharge bonus... I guess i'll look at some elec/fire forum topics and see what they say. I have until morning to decide. :P
On my lv 28 Elec/Fire Dom, I've found that Jolting Chain tends to keep baddies off of their feet while for the duration of your DoT. This takes careful grouping, as well as prioritizing your ST hold on enemies with KB resistance. The biggest problem with this strategy lies in other players, be they controllers or dominators, who make use of AoE Immobilizes that carry a -KB component. Unfortunately, this is MOST AoE immob powers, and the knockback that they prevent will keep you from being able to bounce them into the air with Jolting Chain.
If you're really wanting to try out Elec/Thorns, I strongly suggest grabbing Jolting Chain early to see if you like it well enough.
Too many alts to list.

Depending on the timing on the various ticks it might be worth doing just for the laughs.

with the 2xp weekend just a couple days away, I have been wracking my brain trying to decide what character I wanted to play (hoping to get to 50, but not holding my breath.). Well the one I am considering right now is an elec/thorn, and I was wondering if anyone has played this combo before, or if anyone has an opinion on whether they are a good match. I picked the 2 for thematic reasons, just in case you were wondering. I plan on building for perma-dom obviously w/out hasten. And then picking the musculature Alpha for the end mod/def deBuff.
thank you for your time.
