Phant and PA, I assume.
(And maybe some cheeky kill steals).
ill/empath is a great combo tho yes 
but its not really meant to kill, more for the idea of having invis without having to get stealth pool.
Cant think off any other then getting lucky with loads off killsteals with the PA´s and phantasm, since most empath have illusion as primary just for the invis.
I made an Ill/emp for the Omega Task Force challenge. He's now 32.
It is definately a fun combination. And the invisibility is very effective.
Good - a 'hidden healer' witha few neat tricks.
i've got a wee one that performs well - can be nice in PvP and you have a few Ill tricks (If your focusing mainlyon the empathy) that I would rate over having a few attacks to chuck out.
Obviosuly SI helps alot to be 'less' of a target in team/zonal PvP
Fun if you like Empathing try it 
22 kills - think the pets helped alot with that if the decoy's were spamming DoT powers
IMO a vastly under rated set.
With new powersets coming out that have higher lvls of psi resist, eg WP, its not quite as good in pvp as it was. But against say an inv. tank built for max s/l resist or a stone tank in granite you can be doing good damage while scrappers that do mainly smashing damage may be getting annoyed at how little damage they do.
See this thread for some idea how good an ill/rad is in pve against AVs & GMs. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...art=3&vc=1
It shows that ill can put out good damage with good control.
In pvp the empath has lots to offer with fort, Cm, AB & the auras.
Personally I have no problems soloing EBs with an ill/emapth and its a lot easier than compared to some ATs such as stalkers.

Is Illusion Control/Empathy any good? Was in a base raid earlier today, she killed 22 and died only 4 times.
So is this just a skilled player or is it actally a good combonation?
