All they had for Electric Control was a few screen shots.
Thanks for that!
I was hoping for a quick set with fast animations, kinda the opposite of energy melee....that looks like some very long animations though 
Oh well. Still looks neat.
Fast animations generally gets you a weak powerset. Take a look at Dual Blades.

Dual Blades animation times range from 1.03s to 3.3s. That's not particularly fast.
Compare that to Fire Melee, with a range of 1.0s to 2.67s animation time, and Katana with times from 0.67s to 1.83s. I would classify both Katana and Fire Melee as bringing more damage to the table than Dual Blades, yet they have faster animation times.
Speaking of fast animation times, Gambler's Cut from Katana has the shortest animation time of any Scrapper attack, yet is one of the highest DPA attacks available.

That just isn't true. Faster cast times usually mean higher DPS....and for the record Dual Blades is a great set if you know how to use it.
There is a snippet of information more in this thread about electric control's likley make up.

I doubt we are going to see another set as unique as illusion myself, but here's hoping the set is indeed more "unique" than I've listed (not that what I just drew up would be bad at all, it would perform very well). |

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Guess I don't know how to use it then, I leveled one to 50 and always found it anemic. Haven't played it in quite some time.

I solo just about every AV with mine, solo Pylons, and kick *** in PvP. Can do the RWZ challenge with ease in under three minutes. Guess your build must be jacked up. If you drop 1k Cuts and the Aoe, it can be a sick single target DPS machine, with the Sweeping Strike cone clearing out entire mobs is mere seconds.
There aren't really any bad sets, just different sets that get misused and mislabeled.
