Overview
Wielding a vast array of devastating powers, Dominators are a complex class. You excel at forcing foes to bend to your will. You can lock your enemies to one spot, render them unconscious, or even turn them against their allies. But you do far more than control the battle; you truly dominate by dealing damage while you hold or immobilize those around you. You are a fairly effective solo class though you lack defenses and have no mez protection. For this reason, you are particularly fearsome when paired up with a corruptor to buff you or a stalker to strike down your dominated targets. When an entire group can take advantage of the foes you've locked down, your controlling powers will really shine.
The Dominator's inherent power is Domination, and mastery of its use is the most common sign of an experienced Dominator and a novice. Each time you attack your enemies you build up Domination; the more people you have in your team, the more Domination you build. Once your Domination bar is full you can unlock this power, increasing your base damage by 75% while effectively doubling the effectiveness of your holds and other control powers. While Domination is active, your longer and more powerful control powers can turn the tides of an otherwise hopeless battle. Furthermore, Domination protects you from controls yourself, and refills your Endurance bar - making it a power that on its own can completely turn the tide of a battle!
