Ill/emp build?
Another Controller alt DW? Time to join Altaholics Anon
6 slot PAs, for sure. I go 3 damage 3 recharge. Its much more useful than the Pants-asm at 32. I'm a stormy though so I have lots of -defense powers. 1 acc, 2 damage & 3 recharge maybe for thou.
Spectral Terror recharges really fast anyway, think its basically perma out of the box and you can only have one out at a time. Take some of the recharge slots and put into Blind which is your most important Illusion power. ST probably only needs 3 slots, 1 accuracy & 2 fear. Blind ! go with 1 acc, 3 hold, 2 recharge, you might try 2, 2 & 2 though.
You only really need one invis imo. For a support char I'd go Group at 30 with 3 recharge. The defense bonus is miniscule, 2.5% to 3.75% so I never slot for it.
Flash is also pants unless you 6 slot it I'm afraid. I'd say skip it for something else maybe at 38. Otherwise it'll take ages to recharge, miss a lot and only hold for 6-10 seconds.
Can't help with Empathy though I'm afraid. /em Bones : Dammit DW I'm a troller not a doctor
Well, I played doctor for 50 levels, so that's my meat and drink. Regen Aura is skippable, but everything else in the Empath's toolkit is worth taking and a blessing to your team.
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Ill/Emp is a bugger to build really. Too many powers that are actually useful.
I agree with Carni on the illusion side of things Spec Terror is perma out the box.
I'd say take one of the invis powers at 30 (both have their good and bad sides) and grab Regen Aura at 35.
I think CM is overslotted I've never had much problem stacking them (unlike thaw which needs a recharge buff ) and I've always thought AB was better slotted with at least 2 heal as the end recovery is so high? (Do controllers need endurance slots so blasters dont have end crash when nuking?)

Im not sure where Regen rate caps out, but regen aura gives +500% as base and AB gives only 50%, so better to put heal slots on there.
Superior Invis is a must, imo, from as early as pos and needs to be slotted 3 end reduc.
Im not sure about defender AB, but troller needs 1 end mod to overcome -recov from nuking, and 2 to be comfortable. 3 is overkill in any circumstance.. and I wouldnt bother with end mod on recovery aura either, it will keep everyone with max end except after a blaster nukes, but that's what AB is for.
CM probably doesnt need more than 1 recharge, but it is nice to have more.
Leaping is obviously optional and you could pick up flight or leadership (or some more of the primary) instead, but Hasten is another essential for emp imo.

AB give +500% regen as well m8, its +50% recharge
D'oh! Ok... Take 1 heal slot off Regen aura and stick it in AB. 6 slot regen aura later on.. Or get some HOs
