Dear GM
just for curiosity, why the dominator is so underpowered?
I mean, when you lose the old skills and you take the new ones after the path to awakening, and your dominator becomes an Iss enchanter by the Seize Your Destiny (Awakening Quest), sometimes you take the same skills or even less power. For example:
OLD SKILL
SEAL OF BLOCKADE LV 3
During pvp, restrains the normal attacks of the enemy and nearby targets for 10 seconds
after the path to awakening
NEW SKILL
SEAL OF BLOCKADE LV 4
During pvp, restrains the normal attacks of the enemy and nearby targets for 10 seconds
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD SKILL
SEAL OF SCOURGE LV 14
Blocks nearby enemies' natural HP recovery ability by 100% for 2 minutes
after the path to awakening
NEW SKILL
ULTIMATE SCOURGE LV 1
Disables nearby enemies' natural HP recovery for 2 minutes
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD SKILL
SEAL OF SUSPENSION LV 12
Decrease nearby enemies' physical/magic skill Cooldown by 200% for 2 minutes
after the path to awakening
NEW SKILL
ULTIMATE SUSPENSION LV 1
Increase nearby enemies' physical/magic skill Cooldown by 200% for 2 minutes
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD SKILL
SEAL OF BINDING LV 17
Holds nearby enemies for 30 seconds
after the path to awakening
NEW SKILL
MASS GIANT ROOT LV 1
Inflict hold on nearby enemies for 15 seconds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OLD SKILL
SEAL OF LIMIT LV 2
During Pvp, limits the CP, HP, and MP recovery of the target and nearby enemies to maximum 70% for 30 seconds.
after the path to awakening
NEW SKILL
SEAL OF LIMIT LV 3
During Pvp, limits the CP, HP, and MP recovery of the target and nearby enemies to maximum 60% for 30 seconds.
yes, new Dominator skills are not as powerful as the old ones.
welcome to Goddess of destruction. if you feel like searching you will find a whole lot of gripe threads on the subject.
Limit goes down as you level.
it used to be 30% period, but to make it more Awaken friendly they raised the base Limit to 70% and reduced it over the levels.
Seal of Blockade before Goddess of Destruction Effected players and mobs.
it also did damage and didn't require a target.
old, OLD Blockade... was something which was considered Over powered... and therefore had to be nerfed.
Suspension isn't bad, it's basically the same debuff.
higher levels increases land rate.
having played A high level Dominator before Goddess of Destruction, i can understand what you might be going through.
Dominator has been my class ever since it was first introduced.
and goddess of destruction caused a lot of despair... it was as if my own powerful debuff was reflected back onto me.
also for the record when they made the skills the same... just higher level versions, they nerfed the old skills to match the new ones.
they did this with the release of Glory days? i don't remember exactly which update they diversified the classes again... Seal of Binding not quite included in this, but blockade, and limit were.

Not quite as bad as when GoD launched, so not welcome to Goddess of Destruction ! :D
The biggest thing that drove 99% of the old school dominators still playing away back then was basically turning them into a DC/BD/SwS mix, with the classes somewhat back to what they were some of those that quit wouldn't have at the time if they hadn't boiled down all the enchanters into one class.
Blockade was never overpowered! 2 minutes debuff constantly chained in oly was great fun.
80% landrate on raids too, so you could go raiding with a DD party, blockade the raid and watch it stand there doing nothing whilst you all lay into it. Good times. :*(
Just wish they let you awake into Dominator from non-dominator ISS, I changed class on my main from Domi to Aeore now they've added my skills back.
