If you haven't found it yet, I recommend you bookmark Paragonwiki. A very useful source of game information.

Acid Mortar is a debuff power with minor damage. Don't slot it for damage; you want recharge in it and perhaps some procs, like the Achilles -res.

From today's Facebook interview:

Quoted from today's Facebook thingamabob:

One possibility would be an Illusion set with two new powers for Doms; you could remove Group Invisibility as redundant, and Spectral Wounds because Doms already have a secondary full of attacks.

I'll toss out some of mine.

Rabbit Trick (Illusion/TA): A bunnygirl, inspired by the addition of the rabbit tail costume part actually. Her bio is " 'Watch me pull a rabbit out of a hat!'; or, why Circle of Thorns mages shouldn't try their hand at stage magic." Yes, among other things she is a Rocky and Bullwinkle reference. Just imagine a CoT mage doing hat tricks like Bullwinkle did. Her name is also a joke; it refers to her being a bunnygirl, to using trick arrows, and to her literally being a rabbit trick pulled out of a hat.

The Opener of the Way (Illusion/Storm): A Lovecraftian homage. A former student of Miskatonic University who read the wrong book a century ago. Maximum height, very thin, wears a black suit and top hat. Has the Bioluminescent Face (for the eyes), black cloth mask over the lower face, and the Bioluminescent Tail. He uses Beast Run a lot. His powers are oddly colored, naturally.

Entropic Girl (Illusion/Rad): Her powers bring disorder to the minds and bodies of her enemies.

Special Effectz (Illusion/Sonic): A renegade Freakshow with custom sonic and holographic implants. Why did he join the heroes? He's a Freakshow! Freaks don't need reasons! Plus, the heroes have cool stuff he can weld onto himself.

Patternshift (Illusion/Kin): Wears a hi-tech suit of armor that allows her to "repattern" the minds and energy of her enemies to the advantage of her and her allies.

A ranged Earth attack set; I picture it as medium damage, high in control, especially knockdown/up. To throw out a speculative list of powers:

1: Fling Stone. Fling a stone at a single enemy. Chance for knockdown.

2: Hurl Boulder. Throw a good sized boulder at a single enemy. Good damage, knockback, chance for stun.

3: Fling Gravel. Fling a mass of gravel at your enemies, blinding and damaging them. A moderate damage cone attack with an -accuracy component. I'd consider adding a momentary Terrorize effect to it to force the "cower and cover face" animation.

4: Build Up

5: Fling Stones. Throw multiple medium sized rocks at your enemies. A cone attack with multiple rocks flung in a spread. Chance for knockdown (not knockback).

6: Fossilize. A single target hold, target must be on the ground. Negate KB for a short time.

7: Seismic Strike. Heaviest hitting single target attack with knockup, target must be on the ground. A line of cracks and dust speeds along the ground, then a large block erupts under the target flinging them into the air.

8: Stalactite Strike. Summon multiple stalactites from the earth that damage your enemies and fling them into the air. A similar animation to Stalactites of Earth Control with thicker stalactites. A ground targeted AoE attack with knockup, moderate damage, slowish recharge; designed to be good as a fight opener.

9: Avalanche. The set's nuke. A massive rain of boulders crashes down upon your enemies,with extreme damage as well as knockdown and stun effects.

I always thought it was something of a joke; calling someone a "team all by himself".
