Poison for Corruptors and Defenders

The more I look at Poison for MMs the more I want a /Poison Corruptor or Poison/ Defender. I love the single target nature of most of the set, along with it's nifty animations. Every time I'm fighting an AV ina team with my Kin/ defender or /Emp controller I feel like I'm lacking Single target functionality, considering more of my Abilities are AoE focused (not so much Emp, but you get the idea). As much as I like MMs having a set all to themselves, Corruptors had Thermal all to themselves, and now MMs and Controlers have it. Not very fair if you ask me. Poison would only take a small bit of balancing to function on a defender, and could be a direct port to corrruptors (barring Noxious Gas, it would need a replacement or a slight rework). I'd play a /Poison Mastermind, but the single target nature of the set would be contradicted by the primary: having a bunch of pets. Granted, the set isnt bad at all for Masterminds, I just despise playing them and would like to see the set ported to an AT that is more support-focused, rather than being a gem on a class that is least wanted for TF/SF teams and, well, teaming in General (I dont mind having 1 in my groups, but 2 is a crowd and any more then that is a lag-fest, and I cant walk through small doors because they're filled with pets).

Anyone else support this?

I admit I am a tad biased in that the pistols character I have planned would thematically be a good match with /Poison. I could make him Dark or Rad instead but I already have 3 of each of those and I prefer to avoid reusing sets too often. With the only source of Poison being MMs that kinda limits your concepts a bit due to the pet focus (or, it means making a comparatively gimp petless MM - I did dabble with the idea of a petless Thugs/Poison but I couldn't bring myself to do it).

As you say, it's only really Noxious Gas that'd need any kind of reworking (though I'd not say no to Poison Trap having less suck), so I'm relatively hopeful that it could happen - just a question of when.

Also, Sonic Resonance for MMs!

I can see it for Corruptors, but it would need a new tier 9 power. It will never happen for Defenders, as it's considered a "villain only" powerset.

My feeling on it is basically meh. It's got some decent powers but to me it really feels like a nerfed version of rad. Sure, it has more power against AVs and the like but against anything else there are better sets.

I'd be interested in poison as well, I'd hoped cold domination would fill the roll (and by all means it does) but the fact that the set even has the shield powers bugs me. I absolutely hate renewing shields on a team regardless of powerset, but not doing it makes it feel to your team and to yourself that you're just holding out/not being a team player.
