About the only con with Elec/Energy would be Power Push* knocking targets out of Static Field & Conductive Aura; that can be solved by taking the single target immobilize since it stops knockback. Mind/Energy is a strong combination too.|

*It's a strong attack these days, not the skippable power it once was.

I much prefer the game play of Mind/Energy. This is not to say elec/energy is bad, far from it. It's just that Mind doesnt have to worry so much about the knockback potential of some energy attacks.
When there is no room left in Hell, the Dead shall walk the earth.
I have a lvl 41 Mind/Energy and the only thing that I really hate is how I have no -kb in my controls so sometimes Energy attacks push things way too far and I feel lazy trying to position myself all the time.
I would say Mind/Energy has better synergy than Elec and the reason is that Power Boost benefits Mind way more than Elec. Two of important controls in Elec don't benefit from Power Boost (Static Field and Jolting).
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Oh no single target directed knockback DOOOOOM!
Also Elec does benefit from powerboost. You drain end fast.
Hey all -
I've always liked the idea of Doms, but I've never managed to stick with ones I've rolled in the past. However, I'm starting to feel the itch again, and I want to try a set I haven't played with before. What do you think are the pros/cons of Mind Control versus Electric Control? Also, while I'm almost certainly going to go Energy Assault for my secondary, but if there's a good reason to not do so with either of those primaries, I'd love to know.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
