Dominator question

I've looked in the forum and in the wikia but I couldn't find the answer to this question, anyway sorry 'cause I'm pretty sure that it's already been debated.

The point is that I know that the inherit power Domination boosts your powers as damage, hold duration, etc.
But as far as I know it only applies to powers you've used after it: i.e. a ring of fire is affected by Domination only after you've used it and not rings of fire already casted.

So are pets affected by it too? I mean would it do any good to cast your Fire Imps after Domination at all?

1) Domination no longer buffs damage. Base damage was increased to compensate.

2) Domination does not buff pets.


I really should do something about this signature.

Heh...it's been awhile since domination did anything for damage.

Dominators do blaster/scrapper-ish damage at all times now. Domination does four things: Refills endurance, boosts the magnitude of all direct controls, boosts the duration of all direct controls, and gives protection to knockback and all mez. Powers that indirectly control (like the electric sleep patches, and the earth drop controls) are not boosted. Also, Aura controls tend to not be changed by domination.

In the next issue there is talk of domination also giving +25% tohit for a limited time to allow dominators to fast snipe, but that's still in testing.

I had to double check this because I was sure they took out the damage bonus a long time ago. Sure enough, the damage bonus is no longer in Mids but the text description of domination still says it buffs damage.

I'll also add that while domination generally doesn't help controls that are placed at a location like Volcanic Gasses from Earth Control, the location hold from Dark Control, Shadow Field, IS affected by domination. I was actually kinda hoping they'd go back to other sets and give them the same treatment.

Yeah I was referring at the description, didn't check the actual effects honestly, it was just an idea that passed on my mind and I was thinking it would actually work hehe!
