Electric Control

As we're all suggesting powersets and such, here is Electric Control, in Beautiful Blue for Controllers, and Ravishing Red for the Dominators!

1: Electric Fence.
Ranged, Moderate Energy DoT, Immobilize, -End
Your standard Tier 1 Immobilize, 4 second recharge, good for stopping a runner, setting up containment or just chipping away at someone's health.

2: Shock Cage.
Ranged, Moderate Energy Damage, Hold, -End
Uses the animation for Shocking Bolt instead of Telsa Cage, 8 second recharge like the other holds, spammable with slotting and speed buffs for damage and holding.

3: Lightning Shackles.
Ranged Targeted AoE, Minor Energy DoT, Immobilize, End.
Same vein as the other AoE immobilizes, less damage ticks to lower the use of it as some kind of damage-ticking AoE and keep it for mostly the mez and -end aspects.

4: Short Circuit
PBAoE, Moderate Energy DoT, -End and -Recovery
Building into the endurance sapping and debuffing part of the set.

5: Lightning Strike
Targetted AoE, Moderate Energy Damage to Target, Minor Energy Damage to those around, Stun, -End (Increased Magnitude on Main Target
Calling down a bolt of lightning into a group of foes, the bolt strikes the target and discharges into the surrounding enemies. The person with the misfortune to get hit takes the full brunt of the blast as the lightning stuns them and saps their strength, but those around him find similar occuring.

6: Circuit Breaker
Ranged AoE, Minor Energy DoT/Superior Energy DoT to Robots, -End, Hold (on Robots)
While not that effective against human opponents, giving them a mere jolt that lingers to zap them after the initial blast, computerized beings such as Council Hoverbots, Mechmen; Arachnos droids; Malta Titans; Longbow Cataphracts and Rikti drones are less fortunate, suffering glitches that cause them to cease operation and considerable damage.

7: Telsa Field
PBAoE, Hold, -End
With a surge of controlled energy, a wave of electrical energy rushes out of the users body, quickly entangling and forming cages around enemies to prevent them from acting. Imagine a Force Field style Dispersion Field being cast, but with a crackling orb of electricty instead of shielding blue goodness.

8: Arc Lightning
Ranged, Minor Energy Damage, -End, Sleep, Special
A more controlling version of chain induction, the lightning blast arcs from person to person in the group, causing them to seize up and spasm as the lingering charge in them renders them useless. Unfortunately, any contact causes discharge and makes the enemy wake up.

9: Surge Gremlin
Summon Surge Gremlin, Melee/Ranged Control
With crackling force and power, you can bring forth a subserviant being of electricity. Any creatures that get in range are likely to get a charged brawl to the face, and those at range are either going to be caught with a bolt of charged energy, an electric fence ensnaring them, or a bolt of shocking force to root them in place.

Ive suggested this before, and it seems very similar to the one we ended up with, It seemed likely, But I must say, this is extremely close to what the result of it was...

Try looking things up on the Search tool, then you'd be able to see if it hasnt been said already.

The problem with Elec as a troller/Dom set is that it pretty well negates the Elec blaster AT. The blaster set is based around Holds and -End drain, and it does some of the lowest damage of all blaster power sets as is. If you give elec to a troller then there's almost no reason to play an elec blaster.

Which would mkae me very sad

You suggested your version, I suggested my version. Your version, with it's 2 AoE Holds (Assuming EM Pulse that you suggested is the Defender version and not the Stunning version, plus EM Pulse is in Radiation Emissions) and removing the pet set for dominators is sufficiently different. I only just found that by searching for it after you pointed this out, if I intended to rip off or query your choices I would have done it on the topic you created.

Perhaps instead of jumping up in defense and anger, you might consider that ideas that run in the same vein of thought mean your own idea has merit, and that with other people requesting it means there's more of a chance that we may see it sooner rather than later or never.

I'm not that fond of Lightning Field and only have it for thematic reasons. Lightning Rod I consider one of the signature powers of the Brute AT, just like I consider Thunderous Blast to be one of Electric Blast's signature powers as one of the few Targeted AOE Nukes.

An E3 Blaster has 3 Single Target Holds, some powerful Melee attacks, one of the more safer Nukes in the game that doesn't require you to get into PBAoE range, and having played with one for several years now, I'm perfectly happy with it. If they found what you mentioned to be the case, then I'm sure the Devs would adjust either or both to differentiate them.

Believe me, I love Electric powersets, a lot. That's why I'd like to see more.

Anyway, It just seemed a bit sudden for an Electric Control Post to spring up directly after another, but its ok I guess, There different viewpoints

I was playing my Electric Brute, who's supposed to be a member of the Mu Adepts earlier on before writing that, and just thought how cool it'd be if he was a Dominator with Electric Control and Electric Assault, opened up Mids to look at the other Controller builds and put that together.

Maybe it's some kind of collective brainstorm.

... Yeah, that was bad.

Sorry, but I laughed as well...

Though considering Zortel's current avatar that's rather apt anyway
