I believe I speak for a plurality of Illusion controllers when I say that *any* scattering is going to be too much.

I disagree about *any* scatter being too much, but 5 stars for using plurality correctly in a sentence.
You may well be speaking for the greater part of the Illusionists. So, Ill just speak for myself.
Personally I think the changes outlined by Geko sound great. Having the enemies run can be a real advantage. Apart from the defensive function of keeping foes out of melee range, it can help separate and isolate them, increasing the odds your pets will focus on one target at a time, especially as that target will usually be held close by. This is how I use the current power, and it sounds like its just getting better, limiting their run distance.
Now, Im making the assumption that when an enemy runs it will be in a direction away from ST, hopefully within a 90 degree arc of STs facing. If so, this new version presents some interesting possibilities for herding. Otherwise, if they just run any which way, well that would kind of suck.
My big question is how will multiple STs interact. If a terrified villain runs into the cloak of fear of a different ST, will he freeze and tremble? If a terrified foe flees around a corner and into the terrify cone of a second ST, will he turn around and run back, or just keep going? I really hope he turns around. Watching two STs play villain ping-pong sounds like fun.
Well, those are my thoughts. Thank you Devs, this one goes out to you. (cut to Beatles Getting Better)
