That's a HUGE improvement. I didn't know Singy was that bad. lol

that does not make it horrible, that makes the sleep addition situationally not useful but in no way makes the power worse

I enjoyed Gravity because of wormhole. That power is such a gem. Yes, sometimes it sucks on a large team because other melee ATs don't like it when you move the mobs but I usually run teams myself and I would start alpha with wormhole to the corner and then the team can unleash aoe on them.

In fact, my only perma dom is Gravity/Fire and one of my friends (who is a huge fan of Dominator) saw my toon and he made one himself and it is now his most favorite dominator combo as well. He loves wormhole and great fast range attacks from /Fiery (Lift, Fire Blast and Blaze).

I never like DS and I can care less what the new version is going to be. lol I am so confused by what the current version is like. I know my perma dom doesn't have room for it so I am not sweating over DS.


Yes, Singy's current attack chain uses the old animation time which is a lot longer than the current Gravity control. They've made it so the activation time in single immb and single hold are a lot faster. It shows when I tested Singy on beta because you would see more "burst" dot damage from Singy and a bit more pauses because less activation time means the attacks come back quicker in the long run.

Controller's Gravity was really bad. Dominator has assault secondary so he can bypass the damage from Lift and Propel. Controller does use Lift and Propel for damage but they were way underperforming.

I know the aggro-less and 20' radius in Wormhole is a HUGE buff for Dominator. Dominator with domination can teleport all bosses (Controller can't?). I thought we either get bigger radius or aggro-less but not both!

They've also changed Propel's Splash effect from knock back to knock down to make it more appealing for Dominator to use. It gives one extra soft control if you are not using for damage.

Gravity control buff is great for both ATs really. They've also buffed Singularity a lot.

To be honest, the only thing I really wanted them to buff for Dominator is making Wormhole radius larger. Everything else is just GRAVY. :P

All the other powers are flashy and look nice, but as a whole are similar to attacks you would find in any other set.

For this reason, I actually prefer the set on Defenders, as they can still take full advantage of the hail of bullets to soften up a spawn for the team, then go back to focusing on their superior support powers while "looking cool" with an attack every now and then.

Also Ice armor is a clunky mess, it gives both res and def in weird ways, sometimes gives defense and other powers give resistance, it makes it really hard to slot for an efficient set.

You can't deny factrs.

If the devs did decide to do something, they'd probably make Shiver's range longer and the damage done by flash freeze higher to 'fix' them.

I want an Ice/SR Brute or Scrapper, and I want an SStr/IceArmor Brute.
