New Dominator set?

The thing that bugs me here is that people are focusing on two things:

1.) "THE" new set. At no point have we been told that there is only one new thing coming for Dominators. There could be multiple new sets.

2.) "The devs are prioritizing the melee archetypes because there are more things that they are getting and I don't like that."

This second point is what really gets me. I can't deny that Dominators haven't received much in proliferation. That's because Dominators are a unique AT, and special considerations have to be made when giving them new powers.

I also can't argue that Street Justice, Titan Weapons, and Staff Melee are clearly a higher priority than Dominator sets at the moment. I would like to take this chance to remind everyone that all three of those sets have been requested (in one form or another) since well before Dominators even existed. Incidentally, Time powers have often been requested as well - also since launch, and probably before. Just because the devs haven't gotten around to giving your AT a new toy doesn't mean they don't care.

As far as Stalkers not getting Titan Weapons (off topic though it may be), that's really the least of their concerns - or at least it should be. The low hit point cap Stalkers have should be the top of their concerns. Fixing that would significantly improve the value of a number of Stalker secondaries. Really, the entire concept of the Stalker AT is somewhat outdated in a game that has evolved to basically kill PvP and heavily favor AoE damage over ST damage. But higher HP would at least make it viable.

id like some friggin LIGHT powers.. I mean seriously.. and no I dont mean Illusion.. I could see the Flash Powers but there is so much comic stuff with light its a shock that we really dont have a domination set based around that..

Well, obviously there's more work involved than simply cutting and pasting the power names into a spreadsheet or something

Still, it seems like we constantly hear that art and animation are what require the most time and expense, and most of that you would think could be reused by dark assault (and to a lesser extent, dark control.)

I also kind of think we're less likely to see dark/dark because they just got done giving it to blasters. Kind of boring if every other none-melee set that comes out is just another proliferation of dark.

Unfortunately it's true that melee sets will see higher focus. But that's for understandable reasons. As you said, more players run them. Besides, they affect 4 (well, 3 if Stalkers are left out) ATs as opposed to the 2 or 1 that new Dominator sets can affect. Melee sets are going to make more money on that fact alone, without even considering the fact that many "freemium" players won't have access to Controllers and probably won't touch Dominators. These new players are coming in from games where control is not a significant factor in most cases. So they are more likely to make DPS, Tanks, and Healzors.

Just because the majority of the sets we know of so far have been melee is no reason to assume that the trend is going to last forever. There are, after all, only so many things you can hit people with. Eventually they'll be forced to make sets for non-melee characters because they ran out of melee ideas, if for no other reason.

Please people, let's be realistic.

Everybody knows the new sets will be Carp Control/Carp Assault.

As long as the Pets are Land Sharks with Lasers on their heads.

I think we are getting one new control set along with two or three new assault sets...

At the end of the day no matter how many people sit here and complain nothing will be done about the current situation, as much as i hate to say that yes melee AT'S have somewhat more of an important stake, at the moment.
you see, you all sit here and make assumptions, while at best i can see their true intentions, are still only assumptions, and lets be fair, we dont know any details apart from what we can already find out now.
Now for instance, this whole malarky about melee being a more of a concern just because they are releasing melee sets is not true.
this is just simply a phase, ok controllers and corrupters have hard time manipulation, titan weapons and staff melee will be coming for scrappers brutes and tankers, and street justice for scrappers brutes stalkers and i believe tankers.
my point is dont you think you all are overreacting a little?
lets just be patient and wait and see, and to all those naysayers who strut about saying they been here so many x amount of years, i couldnt give two monkeys, Autumnal Assault and control is the new dominator set whether they like it or not i am purely adamant about this.
And yes i have heard about people requesting for dark control dark assault, but also psychic melee, psychic armor and tbh the list goes on and on, doesnt mean it will happen.
Realise one thing, that you might want this or want that, the ultimate truth is that you get what your given, enjoy it while its there or play the game without it, who cares.
