I'm leaning heavily towards Dark/Dark being the new shiny sets, and that Doms will never get Illusion (or get a highly modified version) because even the Devs can't agree on it.

Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Seriously I'd imagine that Powersets are getting a pass for Domination capability, I could see Earth, Ice and Elec getting additional Domination effects in their powers perhaps and Gravity getting a major overhaul.
I'd also guess that Whip Assault will be announced after the 4 currently announced set have gone live post i21, with Dark Control and Dark Assault probably likely as well.

If this happens, I might actually consider rerolling my time-themed Grav/ Controller. Currently I doubt I will, because I enjoy my /Kin perpetual motion machine too much.

I expect it'll be Dark Control/Assault though which I'd be happy with too  |

Because of the announced Dark Blast / Dark Manipulation for blasters, I would guess that Dark Control / Dark Assault is a no-brainer. Here is my Logic. Since they have obviously spent some amount of time on Power Selection and Balance considerations for these Blaster sets, it stands to reason that they must have reached some decisions about Dark Control, Dark Assault and perhaps Dark Miasma for Controllers.
I also believe that Illusion is in the future for Dominators based on the simple fact that it is requested so much by the fans. The devs seem very interested in giving us what we want.
The only reason we probably do not already have it would be concerns about "building" Domination. They could solve those concerns with slight changes to certain powers; like Spectral and Deceive. Currently Fear and Confuse do not build Domination. But why shouldn't they ???
Like others have mentioned in the past, Control sets do not have much in the way of "natural" or "tech" themed sets. This seems a natural way(sorry for the pun) to pursue new and unique powersets for Doms and Controllers. As it stands now, my Controllers are ALWAYS Magic. Lets be honest, how many Magic Controllers do you know ?
BIOSPARK :: DARKTHORN :: SKYGUARD :: WILDMAGE
HEATSINK :: FASTHAND :: POWERCELL :: RUNESTAFF
And Dominators are the Ranged equivalent of Brutes to me. Tons of Ranged powers but more limited on their powerset choices.
So perhaps a better was to say it would be Dominators need ALOT more choices, while Brutes only need a few more to be complete.
