devices for corruptors?
Highly doubt it.

probably not. /dev has no appreciable buff/debuff in it, and so has little use being made available to a buff/debuff AT.

Why would you want it? Traps IS essentially devices done for corruptors, anything else closer to devices would not have enough buffs/debuffs in it to work for a corruptor.
Now, I wouldn't object to seeing time bomb be replaced by gun drone or something similar - I think a corruptor would get a lot more use out of that power than time bomb and probably even more use than a blaster gets as combining gun drone with acid mortar would be quite effective, but I can't see porting anything else over from traps without seriously weakening the set.

i would love just about anything replacing Time Bomb.

Traps>Devices.
That would be pretty much akin to asking for Firey Assault for Tankers, or Thugs for Controllers. The one is not like the other.
Devices is really constructed to aid the character, Traps is constructed to aid the team. Take Targetting Drone for instance, while it does increase your accuracy, it increases only your accuracy. Acid Mortar, however, debuffs Defense by more than Drone increases accuracy, and everyone on the team benefits from it. Plus, it debuffs Resistance as well, causing you and everyone else on the team to do higher damage.
I agree that Gun Drone might be better than Time Bomb, but that's really just one power out of the set, while everything else is much better for the Traps version. Besides, Devices has Time Bomb TOO. So Gun Drone doesn't replace Time Bomb, it replaces something like Seeker Drones or Poison Trap. And yeah, you don't want to get rid of either of those.
Now, what I am hoping is that Dominators will get a Devices/Traps like gadget-based Control set. It would have to have some whole new powers, maybe some Web Grenades with hold or AoE capabilities, like the Patron pools, although personally I'm hoping for something like a Glue Gun. And I suppose Targetting Drone COULD be the damage boost-type power in a pistols or grenades-based Assault set. You're unlikely to ever see it for Corruptors, though, they have their only damage boost in their Primary. (Unless it's in a Patron Pool, like the second damage boost for Defenders)
can we have it? It's pretty similar to traps I know, any of you think it's possibly on the horizon? I hope so cause I like it, but I only play redside. =P
