Ill/FF bad?

A robust /ignore list can be just as valuable as a good SG or /friend list. I look at every bad encounter as an opportunity to make my future game experience that much more enjoyable.

Ill/FF is far from bad. If people have a spare slot I recommend they try this combo. I never tried Controllers before because of the lack of an Blast primary/secondary. However when I rerolled for a Praetoria playthrough recently I thought I would try the build for a few levels. It has now been renamed to my main and is currently 26 (Most of my toons never make it past 12). The only thing it doesnt have going for it which is noticable is Debuffs.

My reasons Ill/FF is the business!

1. Confuse - IMO one of the best powers in the game.
2. Holds - Decieve/Flash.
3. Mez protection in the form of Dispersion bubble.
4. Lots of Defense is good. Team mates get more resulting in gratitude. IO sets make getting close to capped ranged defense easy.
5. Superior Invisibility - Non Supressing and at the stealth cap for PVE useful for Flash/Confuse.
6. Personal Force Field - Nothing like being almost invincible as the team gets ambushed by the armies of Praetoria.
7. Personal Invinicible Tanks. - Phantom Army loves taunting multiple mobs.
8. Phantasm - Good Old Phanty
9. Damage is not superb but the contribution from Phantom Army and Phanty along with
Spectral wounds is good enough when used with Containment.
10. Possible to have 2 Aoes using a patron and Repulsion bomb.
11. KB goodness with Force Bolt/Force Bubble. Can be used Strategically or just to grief the melee players. (Im not like that of course! )


I just wish someone had pointed out the awesomeness of this combination earlier in my gameplay.
