Gadgets Control/Gun-Knife Assault

So here's what I'd like to see, a Gadgets control set and a Gun-Knife Assault set

obviously, this is aimed at making a dominator, but a gadgets control would be useful for controllers too

First Tier - Web Grenade, single-target immobilize, secondary effect -rec, -spd, -fly

Second Tier - single-target hold possible effects: metal clamp that holds arms together with struggle animation; bolos; knockout gas

Third Tier - Web Bomb, AoE Immobilize, -rec, -spd, -fly

Fourth Tier - Marbles, Locational AoE, Foe Knockdown

Fifth Tier - Knockout Gas, Target AoE, Foe Sleep

Sixth Tier - Walking Distraction....couple options here

A) summons a little robot/windup noise maker, that aggros enemies and then runs in a direction away from the summoner for 1 or 2 minutes...it does not transfer aggro when it dies or desummons

B) summons same robot at a targeted enemy, grabs aggro and then runs to a particular spot chosen by the summoner and de-summons, targeted enemies continue being aggroed to that waypoint for two minutes before forgetting and returning to position (lots of tech required here)

Seventh Tier - Concussive Grenade - AoE Targeted, FoE knockdown, Foe Disorient

Eight Tier - Trap Field, Locational AoE, enemies in field have a chance of triggering a trap. It would be nice if the effects of the traps vary between fear, hold, disorient and confuse...but doubt that's possible...

Ninth Tier - Gun Drone


Gun Knife Assault -

1 - Pistols (DP)
2 - Nimble Slash (DB)
3 - Executioner's Shot (DP)
4 - Typhoon's Edge (DB)
5 - Ablating Strike (DB)
6 - Suppressive Fire (DP)
7 - Blinding Feint (DB)
8 - Bullet Rain (DP)
9 - One Thousand Cuts (DB)

Are we talking one big gun-knife or two? Animation for Bullet Rain wouldn't look right for only one gun-knife.

probably would end up two...or, heck, could do one gun and one knife as an optional weapon selection for some people willing to handle the animation details

I suggested a 'one gun, one sword' assault set like, a week ago. Most people didn't like it because of 'redraw issues', but it wouldn't be much worse than any blaster redraw issues, honestly; and if they use the quick-draw position from dual pistols the redraw becomes pretty minimal (which is why I designed the tier 9 to force redraw anyway by being a "sneaky" grenade deployment instead of a shooting or stabby attack).

Just as long as we're not talking about gunblades, which is obviously stepping on the toes of another IP.
