Help with secondary powersets.

Lots of posts about controller/? so i will do it for you. all of them.

Radiation Emission

is a very versatile set, focused primarily on debuffing the enemies. Its best debuffs are "anchored": area-effect toggles that debuff a target and everything near that target. It also includes a couple of recovery tools, a great multi-purpose buff, and an area hold with a huge radius. Many of its good powers open early and remain useful throughout the game. Good for pets and team - only needs minimal heals.

Kinetics
as a powerset is difficult to explain. It's the odd man out among the buff/debuff sets: a defender set that offers very little actual defense. Kinetics is more oriented toward the offense. It's geared toward making both allies and combats go faster -- and never have to stop. This grab-bag set includes several powerful tools for in-combat recovery, a number of strong offense-oriented buffs, some damage debuffing for mitigation purposes, and even a couple of utility powers to make travel between combats go faster. It's a very action-oriented set. Blooms at lvl 38 with fulcrum shift its worth the wait.Speed boost - is like AB/AM/RA all in one which is very nice for everyone and its +SPD can be useful. ALSO increase denstiy gives res against knocback, mez, and smash dmg, - very handy.



Empathy

is a powerset that appears easy to grasp, but it proves to have a little more depth, with some powerful buffs in addition to its expected heal and recovery effects. It's among the most intuitive of controller secondaries, although Forcefield can be even easier to play. Empathy is somewhat reactive in nature; while you can buff in advance, healing does no good unless the target's already been hurt, so at times you'll have to be quick with the keyclick. The major problem inexperienced Empathy controllers tend to face is to put too much emphasis on healing at the expense of control; be a controller first, and a healer second, and you should find you don't need to heal so much.
Also downside having emp as second people in your team will be demanding every buff u may own and your role as a controller may be side tracked.

Forcefield

is all about two things, essentially: defense and knockback. The defense buffs are the reason most pick this powerset, and they're still considerable (despite their reduction in issue 5), though they possess the common weakness against psychic attacks. A Forcefielder can get by perfectly well by taking only the "big three" shield powers. The knockback is less useful in general, but still has some applications. Perhaps the biggest strength of this powerset is that its powerful buffs are all "fire and forget" -- with a duration of four minutes, you won't need to re-bubble teammates that often.

Storm Summoning

is somewhat difficult and often misunderstood. Used poorly, it scatters enemies randomly, resulting in massive debt. Used well, it keeps enemies off their feet and gathered up in a small area, and it makes it easier to take them down besides. The trick comes in learning to use it well; it takes more practice and experimentation than most of the other sets. Don't get discouraged if things go wrong on occasion while you learn, but don't expect an easy time if you've never played Storm before. Though it's weak at the start, it does pay off in terms of power, eventually, and it can make things much easier in both solo and team play.

Sonic Resonance

is a power set introduced in issue 5. Its main focus is on buffing or debuffing damage resistance, but it also includes a handful of controls and an anti-mez protection for your allies. Most of the powers in the set work best (or only) in a team. If you're team-oriented, though, this set is considered by many to be "Force Field but better." Resistance modification is very powerful, but the graphics and sound of these powers make some players shun them.

Hope this helped.

Is not a very good thing to do, it is in fact illegal in some cases.

There was no indication (apart from the quality of the English) that any of that info was not your own work, you might not have forgotten where you stole it from but you never told us.

I only took one of the Big Three and went with the "less useful" knockback powers. I guess I suck. I'm happy as long as i'm not a buffbot

Bearing in mind any of those powers is actually better than SB itself, that assumption is not much accurate indeed

It depends how you define 'better'. Speed Boost provides a better recharge buff than Adrenaline Boost and better recharge and recovery than Accelerate Metabolism. It's also able to be perma on the whole team (except the caster, of course).

Speed boost provides less recharge rate than Adrenaline boost (u need 2 SB on u to have perma Pa if u r an illu troller, and just one AB will do)

SB does provide better power recharge and end recovery than AM, as u say, but on the other hand AM advantages are: 1º, it's self buff too, caster can be buffed too; 2º, it's AoE, so u dont have to be constantly buffing team mates, or checking individually if their buff has run out; 3º it provides dmg boost, SB doesnt; 4º it provides mez protection, and again, SB doesnt.

They're all excellent buffs

I would like to have them all on me all the time but if I should choose in which order it would be:

1: AB
2: SB
3: AM
