Dominators in PvP and also help to set one up

He ppl of CoX boards, long time no see etc... Now that mojo is out of the way lets get down to business....

I really would like to make a domi in PvP, but since Castle's ****** of what was a successful (even though at times stressful) pvp scene, I have no idea how to build a toon for PvP no more.

So first set of questions are about the class types... and if possible can someone take the time to explain to me breifly the pro and cons of each of the control sets wrt (with respect to) PvPing (solo and group)

and secondly the same with the secondaries

I have 0 experience with slotting for PvP as well, so could someone give me a rouge idea what to slot for and which has more releavence on a dominator.

I am not asking for a buiuld or nothing like that, I am basically asking for a simp[le pro/cons guide for the sets and also a guide to how to slot a domi in PvP.

Hopefully u fine ppl of the pvp community will help out and hope to see you ppl soon in a PvP enviroment of sorts

I am sure others will chime in as well, but here is what i have learned/noticed in my experience from playing a Dom in PvP. You will see that the majority of Doms are /Fire, with most having Mind as the primary. I run an Earth/Fire and it suits me. I can not go too in depth on all the different Prim/Sec as i dont know and dont want to mislead you. I do know the pros and cons of the earth set tho, so i can briefley go into that.

Earth has some great tools in its toolbelt, one being stalgamites. It is an amazing stun that will normally render a target helpless. Fossilize is also a good hard hitting hold in the earth set. It can take all sort of procs. As far as fire goes there is alot of damage dealt in a short time.

Back in the day Doms use to slot for +recharge to have perma domination. This isnt the case anymore. Most slot for HPs, Dmg, Acc and KB protection. With all the new Incarnate stuff you could build it any which way you wanted and just used the incarnate stuff to fill in the voids. On my Dom i use the rebirth, paralytic and Ion Incarnates. The rebirth i have as T3 for Heal/Max HP, the Paralytic i have as T3 for -damage. The alpha i use currently is Musculature for Increased damage output/Increased defense debuff as earth attacks have a defense debuff. I am however considering going Cardiac for the endo reduction/range increase. I am not sure yet.

I hope this helps some. Hopefully some others will chime in and give you some more detailed information.

The only real advice on doms I can give is don't roll a fire/ice dom. Some non-FotM builds are just impossible and it was a waste of money.

Commenting on the above, I'm fairly sure everyone will tell you to go Reactive Interface 75% dot 25% -res, pyronic for a faster animation and Rebirth +regen instead of +hp. If I get 140 hp/sec on something with 3200hp, that should mean around 60 hp/sec or so on a blaster with capped hp (assuming you -hopefully- didn't build for +regen), and 10 seconds of that equals +600hp, then there's more +regen on top of that.

Those are the three I took on my blaster, as well as Cardiac since I like running both travels and sprint.
