Interstellar power set

Just had this idea while I was emptying my brain on the Porcelain King.

Imagine a power set with "Haley's Comet" (can only use it once every 75 yrs., or as a dmg aura), an Event Horizon (maybe as the tier 9?) the "Leonid Meteor Shower" raining down, or the ability to take control of a baddie (minion) and make em a Super Nova. Gamma Rays, Dark Matter, Black Holes etc...

I'm no power set designer or number cruncher. This is just an idea that popped in (or out) of my head while I was reading "Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor". If this has already been suggested, I apologize for the impulse post.

Um, like make a critter just plain explode? Don't expect any powers in a powerset that guarantee one-shotting a foe.

Although, there is a temp power that does that (also: just happens to be the one power that makes a foe EXPLODE! AWESOME FUN!). But it's limited to one mission and only affects "The Infected" with "Stricken" in thier name and is limited to 15 minutes. Doctor Creed (redside) gives this out.

Control em, make em explode as an aoe attack. Not a one shot kill all power, but definatly dmg all around and kb em.

Ah, that's more reasonable.
You have just a few names for powers and very little description of each and what they do.

I imagine that Meteor Shower to look and act a lot like Rain of Fire from the Blaster primary set "Fire Blast".
(Maybe buffed a bit, but then it would have to be a higher tier power)

I look forward to seeing this set fleshed out.

Which AT is it meant for as a Primary? Blasters, Controllers, Defenders?
I'm envisioning this as "You have control of (or hold within you) powers from the outer reaches of space." You could grab from Luminous Blast (PB), Radiation Blast, Radiation Emission and Gravity Control with this concept.

You mean something like a Warshades Unchain Essence but on a living target?

Also wouldn't Gamma Rays be similar to Radiation Blast?

Black Hole is already in Dark Miasma...

But this set does have a large opportunity for lots of awesome animations aswell as having many different damage types (Cold, Fire, Smashing, Energy, Negative)

I say someone should think up the 9 powers that it could have and their effects...

Alternately, More damage per tick, shorter duration. Works out to a similar power. Drop the slow component to let foes get out of it more quickly (since that's part of why Rain does as much damage as it does) And you should be good to go.

And a single target Extreme damage attack with an AoE Moderate hit could be a really neat power, I think. And it'd work for the "Explode" power concept.

I was thinking Controllers, Blasters, Def and Corrs. As far as the Meteor Shower, Diablo 2 had a toon that had that power I think. I was thinking of the power coming in at an angle or from many directions and not straight down on top of the baddies.

That's kinda what I was thinking with Event Horizon. Once you get caught in it, it pulls you to the center (doin dot all the way, but the baddie is also phased so no more dmg can be done to it at this point) and either a big boom, or you just di(e)sappear. I also had a thought with this that the caster must be out of LoS or he/she/it could get drug into the EH as well. LoS doesn't necessarily mean your out of danger though. EH's suck anything and everything into it so you'd have to be far enough back to prevent getting yanked in.

-Edit- Just realized that receiving DoT (dmg in general) while phased is impossible? Or can you still receive DoT if it hits you before the phase happens? If you can't get damage while phased than I guess removing the phase would do. Or maybe there's a way to code the Event Horizon so that it's DoT is the ONLY dmg that is received through the phase until the target(s) reach the Black Hole and then the boom happens?

I know about BH in DM. Just got excited at the possibilities and started naming interstellar events. I'm still giddy with the possibilities. And Gamma Rays...hrmm. Not sure what I'd do with that. I don't want this set to be borrowed if yah know what I mean.
