Dark Controllers incoming?

Fire control does not steal life. It damages, sure, but that ain't stealin'. It does not cause fear. And I hate to say, smoke's -5% debuff on one power is not very much of a qualifier when compared to the way dark powers thematically almost all have -tohit. Does that work for you? Sure? Cool.

But in the end, your 'dark fire' is just that. Those asking for dark control are asking for a 'dark' control set, netherworldly, fear inducing, etc. etc. dark control.

I for one do not doubt they'll make it as the game goes. /Dark controllers have been oft requested, and dark/dark doms would comes along the way hand-in hand, so having a dark control set doesn't seem much of a stretch, eventually. The devs know to keep the game going, stuff should be added, and powers are part of that. Will dark be early in that line of new things?

Nope, as I said earlier, easy stuff first. But just as when some argued against willpower because invulnerability could be the 'same thing,' I think devs will see the thematic differences in a dark control set, and make it.
Eventually.

Nah. I ain't half so serious as I seem. Just making a counterpoint, and expressing why I think what I think.

Thas'all.

Oh, I would make a Mind / Dark Miasma controller. I think that would be an awsome combo and my Mind would have a pet. I could hug him and hold him and name him George.

I think this is why dark miasma for a controller might loose its hold and fear powers. (Black hole is also control, but cannot stack and is not often utilized, so I could see them leaving it.) Just too much stacking.

I'd kill for plant/dark. Immobilize + carrion creepers + tar pit would be deadly.
