Controlling 101 - DCUO

This is a guide to the very basics of the controller role. I'm hoping it will help new players to the game understand how to play a controller better! Please post any questions in the comments! Thanks!

P.S. Sorry bout the hiccups :)

hey Equinox,

i'm a bit late as i have seen you are an Ice powered character now, but still...

got any heads up on a good build for hard light? or if the loadout you used fit nicely for trolling? :)

tnx :)

@crazydoomx3 - I'm only ice because I'm a nerd for collecting feats/styles. I'll be going back to HL as soon as I get that last Viking piece! Right before I switched I really enjoyed the same loadout in both roles of claws/snap/reflect shield/chompers/misc slot/strafing run.

what should my vitalization and dominance be when starting T1 alerts?

[scoopy00]

@gamefreakout - Whatever you got for T1 alerts.  Try to get 700ish before T2s. Dominance should be at least 400 before trying anything really hard.

Guys i dont understand vitalization fully .. Coz once i had like 500+ vit and i saw it gave 110 power to membs every few secs ... Then i lowered it to 400+ and gave around 104 ... Whats the point spending skill points for only 6 extra .. I find it pointless

@iAdaIVI

i see ok :)

[iAdaIVI]

@ImaDieHuslta Good choice Hand Blasters are a great weapon for a Troller because of the combo Pulse Beam, I also use HB and Bow from time to time.

[iAdaIVI]

@juan1rsx You want both as a Troller because with Vitalization you'll be giving more power back the higher your vit is. With Dominance as well you also want that to be high because the higher it is the more your control effects will last and do damage before they ware off.

[juan1rsx]

what do i want more as a troller dominance or vitalization??????????????????­? in both pvp and pve

[ImaDieHuslta]

@iAdaIVI thanks good advice ill stick with Hand Blasters

That was a really quick, easy to follow guide! Thanks! I like how you highlight the absolute essentials, but don't tell people that they need to use exactly your loadout. And you were very clear and concise.

Very nice vid, thank you for putting in the time!
