Yeah I agree with what you've posted..I have a 50 Illusion/Trick arrow controller he has been level 50 for almost a year now and these are my issues that I feel I have as a controller.
Entagling Arrow- In the higher levels not used that much and overall effectivness to ice arrow is low, I feel they should add a -speed, - recharge to the power and make it stack with multiple applications. Makes me feel if this was added that the set was actually "Trick" worthy.
PGA-only issue is the sleep portion, I feel poisonous gas doesnt make people sleep but take DOT-and have -damage and -regen (personal opinion think world war 2 mustard gas). that and the sleep is rare in my eyes to set in and after the initial sleep if I bother the enemy sleep doesn't kick back in ifIi leave them alone. otherwise adding a higher mag to sleep is fine with me atm.
Glue Arrow- I love this power, one of the best in the set, mine is six slotted three recharge and three slow, I can get it to stack most the time. only issue is lagg on my video card but im getting a new one soon
Acid Arrow-definitely needs -regen if anything in the set gets it it should be this power. otherwise just fine
Disruption Arrow- I have to say " All Gravy- oooh with biscuits too"
Ice Arrow- Fairly Good, needs to do some damage upon hitting the enemy I feel. similar to Ice controller ssingle target that does DOT but just have this do moderate damage upon hitting an enemy.
Oil Slick Arrow- Great besides the occasional failure to lite, couple with glue arrow and there is an awesome combo.
EMP Arrow- Magnitude on the hold is overall decent but the amount of end drain on my char is sometimes more severe than that of my enemy, also the occasional lack of end recovery after use is annoying...either I can recover end from right after the drop or I have to wait 30 secs to recover end in which that time my opponents that arn't held that I drained end from are already attacking with recovering end. - a change in this power is due I feel the amount of end I should lose should be lowered, the recharge time on the power lowered slightly and then the opponents should suffer from no end recovery for a period of time after use; just my opinion.
Some of the change i stated above would make this set way more versitile opposed to some other debuff sets like radiation, dark, kinetics. I know our set is good at a broad range of abilities but they are all average, and the animation to draw I feel makes the set not feel as powerful since the time does factor in to stacking powers when defeating enemies...to make up for that slightly boost the powers. ATM I can make due really well but thats because im mainly using only three TA powers
EMP, GA, OSA couple with my petsIi do still get fairly banged up so I took medicine since ta lacks a heal or self buffs.
just some personal thoughts i have after a year of being a 50 on my guy and playing with the powers. I did really enjoy the changes the devs made that made it better.
