--There is nothing that says we will get Dark Assault, nor is there any existing set that would be a mutual pair for it like 'dark control' or whatever you want to call it that would queue its arrival.
--Electric Control would not be powerset proliferation, it is not an existing set.
--grav control and energy assault arent really a pair.

--No, I know there is nothing, its just there to fill something up using my previous posts common sense as why we got earth assault not Ill/. I can see the devs adding something like dark assault sometime in the future.
--Elec control is not an existing set same as earth assault, it will most likely be a hash from here and there. I don't think the devs would proliferate entire the tank/brute stone melee
--Grav.Energy is a pair, scientifically speaking energy can pair with mind, grav, fire, elec and ice.
But gravity and energy are two concepts that go hand in hand a bit more thanthe others...and its the only one that doesnt match its pair...
The Devs can do whatever they want/like and we might get Ill/Dark Assault or just Illusion...or they could just say no to Illusion!

i wonder what the quick tier 1 attack could end up being? im envisioning a cross between thorny darts and the snowball temp power from the winter events.
the other 8 will likely have hurl boulder a hammer attack and hopefully seismic smash. maybe fissure from the controller epics too.
I want Fault!
It looks like Sunstorm is responsible for the creation of Earth Assault. He gives some clues in this post about what the set may be like.
Looks like some of us were right on, its going to be a melee heavy set (which I like).
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

I believe it'll probably be the Stone Dart power used by critters - the same as thorny darts, though it might have an Activation time of 1 second.
I'm hoping for a Mud Slap power - a ranged Cone that has you slinging mud about, doing damage and reducing ToHit (Think Fling Thorns cone style).

So you want a mag 4 (yes, it would be mag 4 when domination is up) stun that could recharge in 6 seconds? GG.

No "Eventually" about it, I was play testing it after the first round of proliferation and have been waiting anxiously till I can build one on the live servers. Never played a more "tankish" feeling dominator, despite it having no armors.
Some very good guesses here on the powers, but Earth Assault will be a very melee heavy set. Also opted for the regular Hurl boulder Animation, since the Propel Boulder animation uses the full 3.5 second long propel animation. Now I may be a huge fan of propel for my grav doms/Trollers, but the thought of having 2 versions of it didn't seem too fun.

"Tankish" ? It sounds like it has SOMETHING that makes it tougher than normal . . .
[/ QUOTE ]
Stone melee is already tank-y as is... it's basically an armor and attack set all in one, thanks to all the mezzes and knockdowns. If even some of those are kept around from the Brute version, I can see it having that feeling.
I personally would've liked a new primary more, but I quite love the idea of /stone for doms, so I'm not complaining.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I forgot all about the stun. As far as I'm concerned, Fault is a PBAoE Knockdown. Kill the stun, give us Fault!
I bet it will have Mud pots.

I would like this set:
1 - Seismic Smash (Standard Seismic Smash)
2 - Strong Seismic Smash (Seismic Smash x5 in power)
4 - Flurry of Seismic Smash (a chain of seismic smashes in a cone)
10 - Rock Rage (Like Rage and Granite Armor put together but no -damage debuff)
16 - Earth's Embrace
20 - Super Seismic Smash (Targeted Aoe of Seismic Smash)
28 - Rock Armor
35 - Earth Shattering Seismic Smash (1 hit kill to anything Seismic Smash, kinda like a non aoe boom)
38 - Animate Stone
Yes i understand that you could then have 2 animate stones, each with a seismic smash their own. my provisioned powerset would have great melee capability and great utility, and before anyone cries nerf nao, its completely balanced balanced in every way.

Probably the best melee attack in the game in terms of damage, activation and mag 4 hold.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
Oh ok... then were getting it or were hoping to get it?

So? Who cares! It's a power that animates as fast as Bonesmasher, does the damage of Total Focus, has increased base accuracy and a 100% chance to hold. Even if it's only mag3 normally, that's a 100% mag6 hold with domination up attached to the highest damage attack available to doms. That would still make it the best ST attack available to doms, period.

Which means we won't be getting it.
Don't want no OP doms. That'd make the self-loathing dom players call for a nerf.
Please buff Ice Control.

"IT'S THEIR FAULT WE CAN NEVER HAVE NICE THINGS IN THIS FORUM!"
I actually think we will get it. "Seismic Smash" that is. Its more ST damage focus. Which seems to be how doms are balanced these days. Lots of big damage, but mostly ST.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi
I like the dom buff, but I like the BS on stalkers more!!!!

IMO a /stone dom would rock (pun intended) if they left all the melee attacks alone in a port so
Fist 4 sec
Mallet 8 sec
Heavy 12 sec
Seimsic 20 sec
If they feel it is necessary to fix something that works perfectly well then in terms of base rech I hope Seismic goes the way of TF rather than Thunderstrike.
If anything I'd even support: 4, 10, 14, 22
Just as long as they don't hit it with a pussywillow and do: 4, 6, 10, 16 or something stupid like what they did to /elec.
