I like this, and it seems fairly workable. /Signed

If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
Hrmmm very interesting idea. I'd be willing to try it... could also work thematically with darkness or even plant themes...

It's a really neat idea, though at an initial glance, looks like it'd be kinda overpowered. What I really like is the "trick" of the set by allowing the single target debuffs to spread when under the effects of the group debuff.
I was looking through some powers because my friends were wanting to make a 4 horseman themed group. Of course I wanted to play pestilence cuz war and death were going to be the ones people were fighting over most. And really...who wants to be famine.
So Poison worked....but then I thought. Hmmmm...what if there was something like poison, but super cooler. And so I drew up this Pestilence set...which would be a great MM set with zombies etc.
So lets give it a whirl shall we. It would be a primary debuff set but much like time and a poison hybrid would spread if under the influence of a targeted aoe patch.
1) Blight ~ Ranged single target, - Res to Damage, -regen - Special (Increased vulnerbility to Toxic) Chance of spreading if Plague Field is in place
2) Swarm of Locusts ~ Target anchor, Slow, - to hit - Jump -fly, minor DoT
3) Fever ~ - to Damage - Recovery- resistance to status effects - Chance to disorient, Special (Chance to spread if Plague field is active)
4) Infection ~ PBAoE toggle. Slow, - to hit - regen - recharge
5) Plague Field ~ Slow - to hit - Special (Chance to allow Blight, Fever, Malady and Wasting to spread to nearby targets
6) Malady - Single target confuse (Special) Chance to spread if Plague Field is active
7) Inoculate - PBAOE toggle resistance to status effects (Except sleep), + minor defense against all but psionic and fire
8) Wasting - Single target slow - Recharge - Recovery - regen - res (Has a chance to spread under Plague field
9) Plague Bringer (Pet) Summons a swarm (Use the Devouring earth swarm if you want) which will use a number of single target Pestilence powers, and minor Dot toxic damage and a - to hit (Similar to Dark Servent) . (Weak to fire and Ice effects) This pet is mindless and cannot be controlled by the caster.
So thats my basic idea. I dunno if people would be interested in such a powerset, but I was bored. So I thought I would put it out there.
