I'd agree that it has merit.

I was mulling over rolling a Grav/TM for similar Dominator envy reasons, overall theme and stacking uber slows and -recharge.

As fissure wakes them, that massive pbaoe -hit toggle keeps you safe, not to mention all the pbaoe heals, buffs and debuffs. Then keep pounding them down with fissure, seismic, and mind control attacks. Sounds like something dominator-esque to do until the Dom Love comes around. What say you? Lewis |

I cant comment on how Mind/TM would work out....doesnt seem to have much synergy appearance wise. As was stated however Grav/TM seems like it have alot of synergy. I'm sure you dont want a grav toon...dont think anyone does lol but hey its something to think about.
Mind may SOUND dominator esq but I'm sure its nothing like it, mind doesnt even have powers which force you to be or benefit from being in melee range.

It's a fun set, really, it is... just needs a bit of tweaking to be great, too.
(p.s. protip slot crushing field with 4 damage procs and use it extensively)

I am not sure what your trying to say here. Mind/ is already a dom primary. It is hard to get more dominator esq than that. The set is exactly the same for doms as it is for trollers.
As for /TM if that was what you had meant instead of mind. One of the cornerstone abilities of the set is a pbaoe toggle debuff that pretty much means your going to be in melee most of the time to get the most out of your powers.

fire/time/stone troller would be my choice.

I can't recall for corrs, but defenders and controllers have the same values for slows since they are considered a control, but also a debuff.

Would much rather have a dedicated Time Control set. Aside from the slows and the hold, Time Manipulation is pretty debuff-centric so it wouldn't be a case of Dark Miasma. Could also use the Delayed status to beef up the controls and create amazing synergy between the two sets.

Dominator esq, fire secondary aside means your in melee range regularly. Although dom's have mind. Mind isnt a set that requires the user to be in melee range or benefits from it. If saying mind/tm is dominator esq then every combo with an pbaoe aura is "dominator esq" Is that what we are saying now?. Dominator esq to me comes across as a blapper with controls. What "blap" does a Mind/TM have?|

And as far as synergy:
Grav/TM-synergy with slows
Elec-Synergy with Conductive aura
Fire-Hot Feet
Ice-their toggle
All I'm saying that Mind doesnt really benefit in melee especially compared to the other primaries.

I read Positron's interview the other day and I don't think we'll see Time Control set because Time Manipulation started out as Time Control set idea. Later they've decided to turn it into buff/debuff/control set.|

If there was a Time Control, don't you think it makes sense to create Time Control with Time Manipulation so Dominator can have something new when everyone has like 2-3 new sets? At this rate, Dominator won't have anything new until probably next year.... T_T
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
