So what changed with Mind/Psi?

Granted I havent played Dominators since the change that increased their damage and removed the damage from Domination. I noticed on Psi that the set was changed. It used to be low damage until the level 38 power.

So is psionic dart worth it now? Used to be a waste being forced into it. Was psychic shockwave the aoe nerfed? Do most people go melee or range with this?

From what I understand, the damage of all powers except Psychic Shockwave was increased whilst Psychic Shockwave was decreased, making it more balanced.

I wouldn't say Psionic Dart is useful for anything other than for building up Domination though.

As for melee or ranged, it's possible to do pure ranged but with Mind Probe, Telekinetic Thrust and Psychic Shockwave - the former two powers being melee and thus doing more damage than any of the ranged powers - I don't see why you'd want to. Survivability is a moot point when you can lock mobs down with ease.

Are you saying Psionic Dart is just for building Domination? Or is it a good power to slot up?

I was confused by the statement.

By that I mean it recharges fast, animates fast but doesn't do much damage. This makes it good for building up Domination. It doesn't really need any more than two or three extra slots, if that.

I still don't slot Psi Dart. An accuracy in the default slot is fine for me to use it for building Dom or pulling. The damage it does is too low to be worth spending slots on it IMO. Too bad, because there was a version of /Psi during the Dominator revamp that had a higher recharge on Psi Dart and respectable damage, but some people complained and it got reverted back to the waste of a power slot it is now.

Psi Shockwave got lowered in damage to be where it should have been. All the Dominator PBAoEs got more or less standardized to be pretty close to one another. Psi Shockwave kept a little bonus damage as a nod to the people upset about the rebalance, but it's mostly in line with other Dom PBAoEs.

TK Thrust got a big damage boost. It's no longer a KB power that does a little damage. It's a respectable damage power now. It's still not great from a DPA perspective, but if you like the idea of having a KB power or another melee attack, it's worth taking. Too bad for Blasters they didn't get the new version.
