Other then a banshee and a few others, playing with this as a bonus power felt incredibly op. I mean you could literally charm the battlefield and watch them destroy each other.

Bothersome brute? np.....dominate him and watch him gore your enemies. No enemy to gore?...np...dominate him and watch him stand there like a statue.

Playing as an adept - imho this was a very useful almost overpowered skill.

It has some annoyances. I think they should have perhaps limited it to lower tiered enemies, but made the delay before they started attacking their former comrades shorter.

Dominated Ravagers and Brutes is pretty funny to watch though.

Infiltrator or Engineer with Dominate is just hilarious. You only have to fight Banshees since you can sit back and watch everything else just kill each other.

I was under the impression that Banshees and Harvesters were the only enemies in-game that couldn't be dominated, and that people used dominate specifically to take Brutes out of the fight...

Yup, definitely works on Brutes. in fact, dominating brutes is pretty much *the* reason I roll with it. man it's so much fun. Dominating phantoms was a bit of a let-down though, just stood there like morons >_>

I am currently running it on an Engineer (playlist here). I do not find it hilarious, just boring. Although sometimes something funny does happen, like when a husk jumped on another husk.

I found that I have to use the Claymore just have some fun using it. I have even started using James as a squadmate to try to make things interesting.

Why are you using a build that you find boring? Seems dumb...

Can husks jump onto Brutes? I feel the need to find out...not that they'd get very far killing it.

Dominate is quite entertaining, like AI hacking in ME where there were enough targets to use it on properly (I never did the Dominate thing in ME2 in the end.). Watching Husks and Cannibals having punch-ups is quite funny. Not quite as good with Cerbs...prefer the Turret sabotage hack for those suckers.

All-a-Mort: As far as I know, husks can only jump on humanoid enemies, so they cannot jump on Brutes.

ZombieGambit: That character happens to be an import of an ME2 character that also used Dominate. I am finding it more fun now that I am using the Claymore. I was using the Katana, Reegar Carbine, and Eviscerator before, but they are rather boring weapons although you do have to be close to use the Reegar Carbine so it is more fun to use than some other shotguns.

I couldn't charm anything until I took down their armor.......and Brutes die when armor is gone. I could only charm cannibals and husks AFTER taking out their armor, but it was boring watching them shoot and tussle with each other.

I don't really know what you mean here.  Cannibals and Husks can only get buffed with armor plates, and that doesn't seem to have any bearing on Dominate.  Brutes and Ravagers have the yellow bar health Armor, but both can be Dominated.

Wish I could unlock it (and keep it) just to have some fun with my Adept, but alas, my Leviathan is bugged and Dominate and the achievements are glitched.

This just in. Dominate isn't new. Morinth had it in ME2.

Perhaps you killed the target before dominate had it attacking its former allies? That effect is not instantaneous which coincidentally is exactly why I don't believe its all that great, let alone overpowered...

I was trying it out last night. Quite good fun, but seemed my dominated targets kept being killed too quickly, either by trigger happy squadmates who just happened to unleash something at exactly the wrong moment, or by their buddies. I didn't find dominated brutes much good...the effect wore off before they really did anything, just got up to charge, charged and then I have to dominate again. Other than tying them down, it wasn't much use.

Dominate is absolutely hilarious. There's nothing more fun than seeing 2 Brutes backhand each other for my amusement, or an engineer getting gatted by his own turret. I even did on a few phantoms and she wiped out like 3 of her own teammates before I killed her.

Best thing about the Leviathan DLC for sure.
