Sounds good, but like a lot of work.
Care to elaborate a bit on it?
Sure, The main idea was that if heroes had all these powerset options, villains should have more. The Inferno/Frost/Mental/Sonic/Claw mastery powersets would follow the same theme of powers that are given in the current patron powers (see on paragon wiki).
The other powersets would be based on the above, only using powers that the NPC's have along with some newly created ones that would form a match, although it will be difficult to create. It is hard to go into detail because that would complicate things. But all of sets have been based on ancillary powersets apart from Claw Dart, Wind and Gadgetry.
Claw Dart has been based on all the powers from Thorny/Claws/Widow.
Wind is storm summoning as single target powers along with force field like powers.
Gagetry is based on Viridians Powers along with some powers from Devices.
Sorry if it isnt much help but alot of the powers are available on paragon wiki and explaining the ones that do not exist would confuse thing further

I'd like to see some added patron pools, hopefully we'll get some in Going Rogue, but I think it'd be possible to add some with what we currently have in game; by giving people a chance to join an 'outside agency' to thwart Lord Recluse's Operation: Destiny
The current patrons are covering:
Cold (Mako)
Dark (Ghost Widow)
Electricity (Scirocco)
Energy/Equipment (Black Scorpion)
Patrons:
Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt (Mental Mastery type, Rikti drone and/or Rikti Monkey pets)
Requiem (Fire Mastery type, 5th column pets)
Baron Zora (Force Mastery type, CoT pets (perhaps behemoths or spectrals); perhaps longbows for brutes/stalkers)
Nemesis (another natural/equipment type patron, auto-armor instead of a toggle armor for squishies, special shots (that don't cause redraw with AR / dual pistols, and give everyone else a Nemesis Rifle), Jaeger pets, etc...)
... the only downside to adding more patrons, of course, is that it requires more work then simply having doing a patron arc unlock access to multiple sets of patron powers. Of course, I'd rather have choosing a patron simply open up all of the patron pools now (rather then requiring a team-unfriendly arc every time a character hits 40), but I can live with the current system and the current patrons.
... but having a few more that cover some of the as-yet uncovered types (fire, mental, force) would be nice.
Basically i dont like the idea of having only 4 epic powersets villainside, I'd like to expand it so that each patron gives 3 types of powersets (including thier current one) that would suit the patrons and give villain player a wider variety by using the four patrons other abilities or thier allies abilities as powersets. (NOTE: you will still summon the same pets as the first patron sets)
GHOST WIDOW'S
Ghost widow can also teach you some of her fortunata training techniques:
Mental Mastery - This powerset gives powers all psychic based powersets along with willpower
Claw Dart Mastery - This poweset gives powers from the claws, spines and thorny mastery and the powers used by widows in the form of the widow claws weaponry
SCIROCCO'S
Scirocco can also teach you the powers of the four winds:
Wind Mastery - powers from storm summoning and and some other types of powers asociated with storms with scirocco's colour tint to his powers
Frost Mastery - Powers from all ice based powersets but wont repeat powers from the leviathan mastery
BLACK SCORPION'S
Black Scorpion can also teach you some device based abilities:
Gadget Mastery - Gives powers from devices and traps along with some used by the Knives of Artemis
Inferno Mastery - Gives powers from all fire based powersets
CAPTAIN MAKO'S
Captain Mako can also teach you some abilities from the seas:
Sonic Mastery - powers from sonic blast/resonance and some other shout like powers
Weapon Mastery - powers from the hero weapon mastery along with some other throwing weapons and super reflex like armours
