mind is definitely easy to solo as it gets some really good low lvl attacks
in terms of secondary, ice is ok, but light on dmg and some of the powers are kind of slow animating
fire is a very good secondary for mind because the attacks are pretty strong, psi is alright as well, but its fairly weak in the early game and in the end game one of the most resisted dmg types aside from a few AVs
Mind/Ice/Fire is an amazing combo even using SOs alone.
You get several exotic damage types (Cold, Fire, and Psi) and you can layer soft controls (slows, fear, sleeps).
Ice has power boost in the secondary so you can increase the duration of your AoE controls by using both Power Boost and Domination. When solo this can be quite handy as power boosted controls will last long enough to defeat the spawns.
I went with /Ice over /Energy for 2 reasons, Energy doesn't have a good ranged AoE, and /Ice has the fastest animations of all the Dom secondaries. It is a bit light on damage but the Fire Epic makes up for that quite nicely.
Once you see how much better the Dom is when Domination is up you may be tempted to go for Perma. It makes a world of difference and it is most definately worth the effort.

Well, i went to try out a Mind / Fire Dominator today. Funny thing happen thou, when i started that first mission for Going Rouge, apparently there was a glitch and a team of level 50's from a LAM? Taskforce popped in to help. Made that mission a lot easier.
I was lucky enough to drop in on the last level of an ITF with a BAF team on the first night. We 16-manned Romulus and got full credit for the entire TF.

Hello to all the Dominators out there. Im here because i need a little help picking a power set for my first Dominator. Ive never issue with any other archtype except Dominators. I just cant Figure them out. My issue is with picking the powersets.
I want to make a dominator who has decent crowd control for teams, and can do good damage from afar, but is also easy to solo at the start. For primaries I was almost certain about picking Mind Domination, but what worries me are the two abilities Total Domination, and Aura of Confusion. The are the heavy controls that can help Mind stay up their with other power sets late game, but these powers have high cooldown times, and unlike most people, ive yet to really dip into IO's, so i dont expect to have perma domination, or anything close to it on this toon......ever (Or maybe in the next 5 years). So I'm still thinking about that.
As for Secondaries i was thinking along the lines of Ice or Psi. From my experience with a Fire / Kinetics Controller i made awhile back, i know i don't want to be anywhere near melee, cuz often enough, when flash fire wears off I'm pretty much dead. With Ice or Psi i manage by staying in the back of the group and avoid instant death from fists in my face.
If there is anyone out there how might a helpful tip, or some advise i could use for picking power sets, i would really be appreciated.
Note: I plan to solo mostly between levels 1-25, but after that Im hoping i can become useful on teams
