The explanation is, there are a couple powersets that would be sharing an interesting combination of powers. For example, Controllers want Dark Control and Dark Miasma, except Dark Miasma is already a very control heavy set which would supply a lot of Dark Controls powers. Combining Dark/Dark this way could lead to a lot of overalap. Dominators would want Dark Control and Dark Assault, so Dark Assault would have to be careful not to include control powers from Dark Blast or Dark melee. Blasters are easier, however the powers that go to blasters would likely be included in Dark Assault, which goes opposite dark control. Then there are the general AT wide no-no's. Such as: giving armor powers to non-armored classes, or overlapping powers alread in patron pools. So in the end, it's not designing one powerset. It's designing 3 different powersets: Dark Control/Dark Miasma for Controllers Dark Control/Dark Assault for Dominators Dark Blast/Dark Manipulation for Blasters Well, that's enough "dark" for several posts. And no, nothing is in the works yet. |

There is also the problem of Soul Mastery from the PPPs already having crappier versions of 2 of the funkier powers which could go into Dark Assault (Soul Drain and Dark Consumption).|

Shame really, if we did get a Dark Assault with those two along with some of the gems from Dark Blast and Dark Melee I'd be all over a Fire/Dark domi.
I don't really care about Dark Control though, I couldn't see it being interesting enough to be much of a draw unless they thought of a few new powers with interesting mechanics.
Some type of Dark Dom.
What do you guys think?
