  1. Well, I wouldn't count on End Drain getting a significant bump. It's not very effective for a Defenders Electric Blast, I can't image that Controller's would get a massive debuff denied to Defenders. I, also, don't think we'll see a different secondary effect. That would be counter-intuitive to everything they've done with Electricity up to date. I'm guessing the damage scale will be identical to Ice Control. That being said, Electricity is pretty good with AoE powers.

    I could see this:

    I. Electric Fence (Immob, -End)
    II. Tesla Cage/Shocking Bolt/Electric Shackles (Hold, -End)
    III. Electrifying Fences (AoE Immob, -End)
    IV. "Sleep" Chain Induction (Ranged Single Target Sleep, - End, +Special - Power May Arc to Other nearby opponents)
    V. Lightning Field (Toggle PBAoE Minor Damage, -End)
    VI. Lightning Clap (PBAoE Disorient, Knockback)
    VII. Unnamed AoE Hold (AoE Hold, -End)
    VIII. Short Circuit (PBAoE Morderate Energy Damage, -End, -Recovery)
    IX. Gremlins (Melee Minor Energy Damage)

    I also think that using the Lightning Rod placement type power would be an awesome visual effect for one of these powers.

    Wont get Power Sink (as it's available to Dominators in their Epic pool) and wont get EM Pulse's -regen on the AoE Hold. Lightning Reflexes would be cool, but with the possibility of pairing it with Kinetics, I can't see it happening.

    Maybe we'll see an Electric Controller Epic that has Power Sink, Charged Armor, Ball Lightning, Surge of Power, Thunderstrike, or Energize.
  2. Like the set. The damage seems a little high.

    Also, I will join the masses who are calling for gender neutral sound effects or, sound effects tailored for the gender of the character.
  3. Having only tested this with Ice. Archery and Sonic...

    My opinion is that the high tempo sets like Ice and Archery are more likely to bail out of a fight due to low Endurance instead of loe Health. The other sets will get more use out of the power. With Sonics, by the time Defiance kicked in, I was able to mow through red cons with the Sonics high damage multiplied by Defiance.

    I think I'd like to see Damage scaled back and an increase to Acc to compensate. I think that will help balance Defiance for other Blaster sets as, when you're down on END you really need your one shot to hit.
