Mind for zones, Ill for duels.
Really you just have to decide if you want to excel at duels or zones. Personally if someone knows they're going against a thermal they just bring blues and wreck them but thats just IMO.
Hey,
SI is useless. You get the same exact thing from stealth + stealth IO. So I'd just do that and take phase. Well, when attacking, SI does only suppress for 6 seconds, compared to stealth's 10....but that is hardly noticeable.
There's absolutely no doubt that mind is way better for zone. Ill can do well in duels because PA and phantasm are close enough to actually do something. But in a zone, you basically can't kill anything on an Ill. Spectral wounds is a complete joke of an attack, doing less damage than blind, which doesn't do much itself.
Why you making a new toon anyway? Bored of your psy/em cuz it's too easy? hehe

Wouldn't perma Group invis just be much easier?

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.
Group invis suppresses completely any time you attack or get attacked, and it doesn't come back until you actually reapply it. Which makes it literally 100% useless in PvP, since it has such a long recharge.
I have never made a controller before, and thought of a Illusion/Thermal for PvP.
Some people have told me that Mind/Thermal is better but I'm definitely going with Ill/Thermal.
I have a good build for it, but my problem lies with SI, the troller stealth cap, and overall performance in zone and arena. Also, PA is really neat, I know they won't be doing big damage in zone PvP but it's the coolness factor for me.
Ok, now to my questions:
Superior Invisibility is supposed to give you alot of stealth, but the troller stealth cap is near 570 feet.
My first question is, how effective will SI be for a hero? I mean base perception is 500 feet, so I'm guessing most villains with the Perception IO and or tactics will see me.
My second question is, I know that Illusion lacks major KB but can it still perform well in open zone PvP and arena?
Any feedback and opinions are appreciated.
