Unless they break the mold on this one (like Earth or Plant)...we can be pretty sure what we'll get. ST Hold, ST immobilize, an AOE soft contol, Aoe Hold, Aoe Immobilize, and pets....etc..
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited and I'm hoping that Electric Control breaks some rules! I just doubt that it will.

I think you are right RiverOcean, however, I think that AOE soft control will be a sleep (tesla cages or something), so there will be one very situational and probably bad power, but if lucky it will be an AOE stun (Like flashfire). I am hoping for 3 lil gremlins (like imps), but it could also be one mini-deathsurge (minus the power). |

Maybe they will give a pet though of a college kid yelling "Dude, don't taze me"

been waiting for years for this.. im rolling it day one !!!!
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
elec control will be 90% like fire control with -end (i'm sure you'll even get 3 gremlins like 3 fire control imps)
the other 10% will be reserved for some sort of AOE -end specific power

I assume they will recognize futile just as accurately.

@Joshua.
I too have been waiting forever for an elec/elec dominator so I'll be rolling one up on day one as well.
If I get in on the beta, I'll play it sooner.

Q5 Could you tell us a little more about Electric Control? I'm especially curious about the top tier power, is it another petless set? If not, could you tell us what the pet is? How is it different from the other control power sets?
C! : Electric Control has a few very interesting power. Jolting Chains, is a Knockdown power that can go through a spawn and knock them all down, one after another. It's pretty amazing to watch. Static Field is a placeable Sleep power. Now, I know what most players think of Sleep effects, but our closed Beta testers really seem to like it, with comments like "This is the first Sleep power I consider worth it." The Tier 9 is Gremlins -- little electrical guys who toss out bolts of lightning.
I'm keeping my eyes open for more info (hopefully soon) on elec/ control. 3 powers confirmed
If Jolting Chains knocks down all enemies, I wonder how the animation timing is and taking damage from those who aren't knocked down right away.

Based on the way it's described, I'm guessing it's sort of a combination of Earthquake + Chain Induction. Rather than create a location with a chance for knockdown, the power creates a long duration pseudo-pet that has a chance to knock its target down every time it jumps.|

Similarly, Static Field is probably based on the same mechanics as Volcanic Gasses, so enemies that stay inside the field would have a chance of being re-slept after you attacked. I could definitely see how that would be more useful than some of the current forms of sleep.

from :26-30
looks like the new vid shows the new sleep power Static Field, an AoE immob, and the new Jolting Chains knockdown power. Ghost Falcon gone vigilante! (Invisible Falcon, thanks paragonwiki)
from :59-1:04
can't tell for sure, but is a PBAoE aura power like Lightning Field on one of the chars in this portion of the vid? I sooooooo hope we get Lightning Field! looks like the AoE immob (like elec fences) and Jolting Chains plus the "bubble" effect from a hold can be seen also

It's probably too late to make the suggestion (it just occurred to me darn it) but I wanted to lobby for Thunderclap in Electric control with higher mag. Even better would be a teleporting thunderclap similar to shield charge but with control and no damage.
I just love that animation and hate to see it wasted on a power that is essentially useless due to the low magnitude of the control.

I'm really really hoping we get info on Elec Control and Kinetic Melee this week.
I'm also realy really hoping I get my beta invite this week as well.
Info page is up:

Looks like it has an aura, pbaoe confuse at tier 8 and a pair of chain powers. The chaining knockdown sounds interesting, if its fairly quick to recharge and fire off (which I reckon it will be) it could be a staple for a Domi.
The Sleep Field sounds like Gases with a sleep. Pulsing sleeps every 5 or 6 seconds which could be handy, but the aura is going to wake them up again I'd have thought. So maybe good as an opener and controlling those you aren't actively fighting. I'd guess it'll have the same sort of recharge as Ice Patch / Earthquake (90 seconds or so?) and stick around for 30.
An Elec/thorns it'll be for me so I reckon, the aura and chaining knockdowns swings it
Ahhh, finally, some info...
10 days before release date... not too soon !
Btw... 10 days for an open beta that didn't even begin, should be short...
Anyone have any idea what lvl the pets will spawn at when you are at lvl 50.. sorrry i should have said that first. Since SA purple pet proc doesnt work on Fire imps because they are lvl 49, i was wondering if a lvl 50 toon would spwan a lvl 50 pet or lvl 49.

Open beta? This isn't a free issue, it's a paid for expansion. It's likely there won't be one. Don't think CoV had one either.|

I really really really wanted some kind of lightning power that has Lightning crashing to the ground repeatedly, therefore knocking foes down; could've been its earthquake like power. Would've been soooo cool yet from what I've seen, doesn't look like it'll be included. =(

Whining about everything since 2006.
Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

As I have understood it (and hope it partly), then Conductive Aura is gonna be a PBAoE end drain, like short circuit, while synaptic overload is a chained confuse power.|

And for my own part, I'm planning on making an Elec/Psi

Ah, I see, thanks for the enlightenment, but are you allowed to tell those things about the new powersets?
