Static Fields accuracy is quite high, but it still needs it. The duration on Mids is the duration of the summon pet, not the duration of the sleep affect.
The Best slotting here is aiming for recharge primarily then accuracy at 5 slots as you level up. this will allow you to perma and overlap the patches while having good accuracy. Sleep is not so much needed as it will reapply alot. The field cant me made to last longer.
my level 50 permadom/softcap Dom build has Static Field 6 slotted with the purple sleep set for 5 (all but the placate proc as it is useless here) and one generic End Mod IO, to increase the lil buff of endurance this thing gives you.
Conductive Aura should be franken slotted for Endmod/Accuracy as quickly as possible, up to 4 or 5 slots atleast, as you level up. again at 50 ive 6 slotted the EndMod set that gives +recharge as its final bonus. However 6 slotting for 5% recharge is a bit wasteful, so frankenslotting at 4 slots will save a few slots and the 5% could be made up elsewhere, or covered by the alpha slot.

Dunno why, all 5 of my Doms have the aoe immobilize. No I don't open with it, but all of them have it, and all of them use it. Especially the one with the purple chance to hold slotted. Hit a spawn and move around a corner for safety. Or hit them then lay on the knock without scattering them. etc. Too many uses for me to skip it.|

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

I don't know about other doms, but I use the aoe immob on my Elec/Earth all the time. It keeps them grouped up for tremor and so they don't run out of static field. And since it doesn't prevent KB, all you're melee attacks will still have their knockdown for mitigation. |

As for slotting, I go for Accuracy and End Mod. The immobilize is nice, but with that and conductive aura, they'll be drained in no time. (Especially when Power Boost is up)

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
The AoE immoblize is also one of your main sapping tools, it has a very hefty -end and a good chance for -recovery. Static Field and Conductive Aura should easily fuel it against larger groups and allow for much faster saping, which means that enemies become harmless more quickly.
Edit: Doubly so with powerboost

Any dominator can do this using the APP/PPP Defense Shields, Kinetic Combat Sets, and picking up a few other +defense powers.

and to an elec/ its probably more valuable than permadom too, since out of everything I stack, only my ST holds are improved greatly in domination, its a good thing Elec/Earth has 2 ST Holds |

I been looking at my Electric dom and wanted to get some suggestions on slotting a few powers. Namely static field and the electric toggle power. Looking at the real numbers on the field power it seems bugged. The amount of sleep time increases up until level 48 then it drops back down to what it is for level 1. Is this normal or is just the interface bugged? Second is this power auto hit eventhough it takes accuracy, like maybe using accuracy for pvp. As far as I know its never actually missed a target. It might have one that it resists like a boss because it appears the mag doesnt stack.
I just need some opinions on slotting for the early levels. Just drop 3 recharges and forgo the accuracy, or should I drop some sleeps in there. Will it make the field last longer or is it a set duration regardless of sleep slotting. Are the slow and end drain worth going for or should i just slot the electric drain toggle for end drain instead.
