In many ways, its more satisfying than getting scrapperlocked on extremely strong scrapper builds.

I guess that's one of the benefits of playing blasters.

-Solo Giant Monsters. No temp powers or outside +dmg boosts, including Inspirations. And no Lore/Patron pets. | /Psi grants Drain Psyche, with TWICE THE BASE POWER, which is what you use to solo Giant Monsters. A Plant/Psi/Ice has superior Single Target damage, so they will do it faster as well. Point goes to the Dominator.

-Solo 2 level 54 AV's at a time with the same restrictions as the above-mentioned. | /Psi grants Drain Psyche, /-/Ice grants Sleet, which provides another layer of debuffing. Additionally, Confusion will grant the Dominator a lot of leeway to not only solo the 2 AVs, but also have them getting torn apart by their little dogs, too. Point goes to the Dominator.

-Solo Task Forces, including Master of ITF. | Easily, doubly so because the Dominator has a Confusion. Point goes to the Dominator.

-Farm as fast or faster than any other high end farming build. Power-level farming included, 1-50 in around the 2 hour mark. | You actually probably need to prove this one. I am not sure if a Plant/Psi/Ice can do this, but this is definitely the one thing you definitely need to prove that you're capable of doing. In fact, what IS the general method for 1-50 in 2 hours? I'll try to duplicate it on my own Dominator if I knew the actual nitty-gritty method. But, since you can't prove this, and I obviously can't, neither point is awarded.

-Solo enemy groups such as Carnies and Malta on 54x8. | Seeds of Confusion. Beyond that? Sleet, Carrion Creepers, Drain Psyche. Point to the Dominator because they can do it with out any risk at all, period. You have to rely 100% on Rain of Arrows, the Dominator has at minimum three different tools to shut these groups down, permanently.

-Mass-control entire 54x8 spawns, providing mitigation for teammates. | Seeds of Confusion, Carrion Creepers, Roots, Mass AoE Damage, Etc Etc. Dominator Point.

-Take and absorb alpha strikes single-handedly, providing a cushion for teammates. | Seeds of Confusion, Carrion Creepers, Sleet, Mass AoE Damage, Drain Psyche, Soft-Capped due to Ice Mastery, HP Capped due to Ice Mastery and Accolades and Rebirth. Point Dominator.

-Permanently debuff hard single targets, making it easier for everyone in your party to accomplish a goal. | Drain Psyche, Sleet. You can't compare. Point Dominator.



You lose in every case aside maybe the 1-50 Farm, which you need to prove.

Note: I am well aware you get World of Confusion's Mag 2, and sometimes Proc'd, confusion. Dominators get a Mag 6, sometimes proc, confusion. It doesn't compare. Ontop of every other form of CC you mentioned, and magnitudes more. Don't even contest this, because you will lose the moment you try.

Now Big Ben is often used, by extension, to refer to the clock, the tower and the bell collectively, although the nickname is not universally accepted as referring to the clock and tower.

From the Parliament.uk site:

The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell.

Also: Much more consistent crowd control and substantial overall defense lead to much higher survivability. You can't kill stuff if you're dead, human only has much more self sufficiency. 54x8 Malta and Carnies are going to kill you much faster than you can stygian return.

Not to say that tri form can't still be awesome, just less capable compared to the alternative.
