I don't know...that'd be a lot of power for 1 toon...
Flashbulb Frenzy: You assault your target's eyes by taking a series of flash-filled photos in rapid succession. The bombardment of bright light decreases the target's field of vision and has a high probability of causing severe disorientation as the light spots before his eyes impair his ability to see, causing him to stumble around blindly, effectively in the dark. The more famous your target is, the higher the chance to disorient is, as you are more likely to try and snap more pictures.

With the pistol-whipping secondary (for meleers with two pistols).
Seriously?
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
This sounds like it should be a new powerset for masterminds.
3- photographers- Do range and stun attacks with their cameras.
2- reporters- perfom melee attacks and have a chance to immobilize targets.
1- stalking journalist- Act as bane spiders and can go into "hide", perform critical damage from hide and causes terror up to mag 3.
Masterminds are in need of a new powerset anyways.
I'm also a Nethack player, someone who has actually managed to ascend with a Tourist-class character. Tourists in Nethack have cameras that they can use to blind foes, and they can tame the monsters they meet to work on their behalf.
Which sounds a bit like an Illusion controller without all the blue knockback guys.
Anyway, I could definitely see a control set based heavily on low-mag AoE confusion and disorient powers rather than hard controls. I think that set would be a lot of fun to play.
Things I hate: Anime. PvP. Lying MMO Developers. Outleveling content. Manga. ED. Comic Store Employees. Anime.
Forget journalistic....I want a politician primary with CEO secondary.
Journalistic...psh..What would be the tier 9? Summon Lindsay Lohan?

"You use a wide lense to take a picture of all enemies in a wide cone. All enemies hit by this attack are caught in an embarrassing pose, such as scratching their genitals or in a nip slip. For the duration of the effect they waste all their energy in filing lawsuits against the Journalist."
Where is my journalistic power set? You've taunted me with Paparazzi Befuddlement and Ad Attack. SMILE PRETTY FOR THE CAMERA!
