I personally think it's a boring one-trick pony. Can't go wrong with Flashfire, Fire Cages, run into melee with Hot Feet and watch things melt.
Is there much else to say?

Fire is still awesome the problem is (was, before converters) that permdom with the fire primary was quite a bit more expensive because you wanted purples that were more expensive and couldn't get away with the cheap sleep and confuse ones.
Converters have changed that though.

It's a one trick pony but its a good trick. Also, spam char now because with the ATO proc it incrases your damage. Char is so quick animating that it won't slow you down much.|

To answer the OP: It is still very good. I would build for permadom and capped s/l. I did this before converters but it ought to be much cheaper now.
"Hi, my name is Ail. I make people sick."
A partial selection from my 50's on Freedom: Ail = Ice/Traps, Luck = Street Justice/Super Reflexes Stalker, Mist = Bane, Pixy = Trick Arrow/Archery, Pure = Gravity/Energy, Smoke = Fire/Fire Dominator
It is a lot cheaper now, alot easier, and it is possible without purps also...

I generally prefer Fire Control as a controller set because of containment hot feet+fire cages for damage is really good for trollers. And while this can work for Doms too, they have many other ways to get good aoe damage going from their secondary, especially be /psi.
One of the big advantages of fire cage spam for trollers is the grav anchor proc which provides massive amounts of soft control which is really great for controllers. On the other hand Doms typically work better with guaranteed hard control using Flashfire and Cinders more.
One special thing about fire doms though is that the Dom ATO proc is incredible in Char the same way it is for Mind Control because of the 1.32 animation on their ST holds allowing them to easily weave it into their dps attack chains. The difference between trying to effectively fit a 1.32 sec char/dominate into your attack chain and trying to fit a 1.848-2.376 sec hold that every other set has is huge. It should be noted though that /Psi doms can put the Dom ATO proc in subdue unless you need the ranged defense from the set.

I remember the glory days where Fire doms owned the world. Fleets of them covered the sky so as you would think it was night.... But i rarely see people talk about Fire Control these days. Has the great beast fallen to the wayside or is fire control just a known "AWESOME" that no one discusses it anymore out of fear and repect? Can some Fire control afficionados give me some feedback? I don't need a build, but if you want to show me some I would definatley take a look. Any feedback on what some build goals you had (Ranged Def, melee Def, S/L def, Theme, or AOE or Single Target) would be appreciated. |
If you hate Dark/Psi, do yourself a favor and try Mind/Psi. It's like the Swiss Army Knife of Doms. It's like having a "safe mode" button.
Sure, Sleep is a soft control. But Mind adds in Confuse and Fear to make up for that. Add in the fact that Sleep is one of the longest lasting controls out of the box. Many tools in that there toolbox. On top of it, Psi is less resisted than many damage types.

So true. Fire is great for damage but it's not the safest set out there haha.

When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...
