Invoke Panic, with permadom, is a regularly recurring mag 4 fear that can be kept up perma.
It's great. It's also in a pool with two fantastic set bonus mules.
This is probably I've ever seen anyone call Invoke Panic great. . .

The thematic concept would make sense and technically, domination would make it viable. But holy hell does Invoke Panic suck. 22 end, 60s rech, 10s mag 2 fear with less than dismal accuracy? That is a butt ugly power on the level of time bomb.
I thought that domination only affects powers that have been coded to let it affect them? In other words, I was under the impression that it does nothing at all for any pool powers.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
And if you pull the power up on a dominator, you see that it has been in fact coded to act properly. Same as the stun in Boxing.
This is in fact why Castle eventually decided to strip out Oppressive Gloom from Soul Mastery and give us Soul Drain instead (having almost chosen to give us *both*). It would break the rules for it to not be amped by Domination.

Well I actually don't like to take powers simply as set mules. If I take them I'll be planning on using them. If I go this route, I'll take Provoke and 6 slot it with perfect zinger and actually use it to lure mobs into Ice Slick, AA, and Invoke Panic range. Since I have to take a useless power after that I'll either take Challenge or Intimidate and leave it unslotted and out of my power tray.

Yeah, me, I'm a set muler. I want a minimal number of buttons I have to keep an eye on, so having something that's effectively a set-bonus-granting-auto.
I have a concept toon that I was revamping a bit and a thought struck me so I thought I'd throw it all your way and see what you think.
I have an Ice/Earth/Ice Dom that has a Norse Frost Giant theme. For a Frost Giant he's a bit squishy though he is a perma dom.
Here's where I need your input. I was thumbing through the pool powers on a Mids build for a different Dom I was working on. I was clicking on the Medicine pool, missed and hit Presence instead. I was goofing around a bit and right clicked on Invoke Panic and thought "Sheesh what happen to that sucktastic power? Did the devs buff it?" The numbers actually looked decent.
I had Domination toggled on, Power boost toggled on, all slotted up for Perma Dom and had Alpha Cardiac Radial Paragon on. So I slotted it up and got these numbers WITHOUT hasten on.

I can keep it double stacked with Power Boost up and still have it perma with Power Boost down. My S/L defense is way over the soft cap with Power Boost on and with Power Boost down all I need is a small purple insp to hit the softcap.
A Norse Frost Giant is supposed to be big and scary anyway so this would be thematic addition. If Mids is right its a mag 4 terrorize (with perma dom) in a 15 foot PBAoE radius which I thought might stack well with the chance for terrorize in AA.
