Psionic darts is terrible don't slot it. Also the entire fitness pool in now just given to you at level 2, so you should redo your build to take that into account. And char is a hold, shove the basilisk's gaze set in there for the recharge bonus and frankenslot with the Ghost Widow and Curare triples to cap everything that matters.

Thanks for the reply. It seems I still have fitness slotted in game. If I respec I'm assuming that it will fix itself? Also if I respec does the enhancements get destroyed?

You may want to consider switching to the Cold or Fire Ancillary pools.

Sleets debuff is a nice addition to Drain Psyche and PSW.

Fire will add quite a bit more AoE damage to your build.

My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

This was an old farm build. thanks for the reply I'll look into ice and fire seconds. Guess I pretty much have to scrap most of this build.

I don't think he meant the Fiery assault or icy assault secondaries, but the fire mastery or ice mastery ancilliary pools - the "patron pools" of heroes. Since issue 18, all archetypes have access to those, not only the hero-side ones (and no need to unlock them either!). So no need to scrap the build, since you can choose any of them at level 41 just like a normal pool.

Also, to answer the question a couple posts back, when you respec into inherent fitness you get those powers (all 4 of them) for free at level 2 and can slot them as any other pool power. Until you do, they eat one pool selection and a power selection for each power you took, so respecing is HIGHLY recomended. When you respec, all your slotted enhancements can be re-slotted as you see fit, none get destroyed. If at the end of the respec, you didn't keep some of them (you can keep ten spare unslotted ones in your normal enhancement tray on top of whatever you re-slot) they get sold for their full inf value.

Also, as a personal note, I'd move some slots from Health to Fire imps - that power is woefully underslotted, and with Familiars sets so cheap, you can get some great bonuses on it. Health need at most three health IOs since Diversification came into play, and all the other enhancements you pu in them are pretty much wated. Expedient Reinforcements gets you better recharge for example at 4 slots I think. But YMMV.

Thank you for taking the time to post. Ok I liked my build before so I am glad I dont have to scrap the whole thing. I will look into the App's and see what I think may fit my play style. I will take your advice on the imps and health slots. I did use the search function AFTER posting :P and read a bit about the APP's and respecs. As you can tell I have been gone a long time and things have changed so much. Thanks a lot for them help!

Also the short forum export is much easier to review if you don't happen to have mids on your computer. A lot of folks check the forums at work and give advice from there. Plus even from a mids capable computer many folks just jump to the code and import it to thier mids, no point in increasing the scroll distance needed to get past your post by 500%.

Actually I beg to differ - some appreciate the extended form. I own a Mac and work on another one at my job, so I can't run mids. Much easier that way.
