Actually Synapse and I have been puzzling over the dark sets. Just for fun, I'll shed some light on the subject. So, lets start this with a riddle, since the explanation is just as incomprehensible. Why does Dark Miasma overlapping Dark Control powers make a straight port of Dark Manipulation problematic? 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 Control's powers. Combining Dark/Dark this way could lead to a lot of overlap. 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 already 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. |
