Dungeons & Dragons Online Guides » The Dominator
November 7, 2008 – 12:24 amPosted by: allemagnecharmagn
The Dominator is a sorcerous spell caster who’s concentration is in enchantment. Aside from enchantment, the Dominator is skilled, but his or her gift truly is in taking enemies in the battlefield and making them allies.
In combat, the dominator should stay out of the way. They should charm as many monsters as possible (preferably with spells that last a fair amount of time), and buff allies and charmed servants alike with area of effect spells such as rage, haste and mass bull’s strength.
Don’t get overly concerned if your charmed servants die.. it’s wasteful to hold onto one particular slave over another. Furthermore, try to charm opponents in different combats, so that all your slaves don’t snap out of it at the same time (usually buffed and standing in a crowd right around you.. ouch!). With a dominator’s spell penetration ability, there usually isn’t an issue with charming creatures normally resistant to these sorts of spells, such as demons and similar.
