i never have issues building dom even outside of frenzy. one mob and you're back in it. and with domination being such a blessing, killing off one mob is a nice trade-off.|

Only acceptable mez protection for dominators outside of incarnates is Indomitable Will if you can perma it with a crap ton of recharge since you dont need to build it up. |
plus the mez protection is just one thing. to be able to one shot bosses and double your hold duration is more noticeable imo.
dom's are beast. (just threw that in there)

Or a Human form Peacebringer
Proton Sentry Peacebringer:lvl 50+++ - Human Build / Triform Build
Quasar Sentry Warshade:lvl 50+- Human Build / Triform Build
Red Katipo Arachnos Soldier:lvl 50+++ - Crab Build / Bane Build
Black Katipo Arachnos Widowlvl 50+++ - Fortunata Build / Night Widow Build
The fortunata I talked myself into in this thread just hit 46 today. Obviously I don't even have any purples slotted yet and it just makes a mockery of pretty much anything. The aoe control is valuable but the real strength of the AT is that your single target chain contains a hold, you have an excellent single target confuse for instant helpers in nearly any tough spot, and half of your aoe (or all of your aoe, depending on where you put the AT proc) inflicts soft control as well. To get full time softcapped defense on top of that and complete status protection on top of that is just silly.
The one weakness I've run into thus far is autohit enemies, villain WWD1.2 being what springs immediately to mind. Solution: do not solo villain WWD1.2. Soon, the real solution (well, not at level 30, but y'know) will be radial rebirth. It's so rarely a problem that just having a green or two on hand easily takes care of it however.
I used to think it was annoying how often they threw Infernal at you redside, but on a fortunata... Nice pets, I think I'll take them.

Uh, it takes me less than two mobs to get domination while soloing +8 groups, during which all the enemies are stunned/held/slept/whatever, so this is a non-issue.
