Fire/Rad and Patron Powers

The clear choice for both of my Fire/Rad Controllers was the Psi Pool. My biggest problem was getting mezzed, which turned off Choking Cloud and Hot Feet. Indomidible Will gives me mez protection most of the time, even if I don't have enough recharge to keep it perma. There are a few gaps where I can be hit by a mez once in a while, but I can live with that by keeping a Break Free on hand. Mez Protection is, by far, the most important consideration.

Other than that, Psi Tornado is decent AoE damage to supplement my Hot Feet. Psi Tornado also has Knockup, which is nice additional control (as opposed to "Tornado" from the */Storm set, which has a lot of knockback and throws foes all over the place). I have Mind Over Body to add some Resistance so I don't need to heal myself as much, and Psi Blast for some single target damage.

World of Confusion, however, sucks. The radius is too small and the pulses of confusion are too short. A few folks use it as a mule for the somewhat-less-expensive-for-a-purple-set Coercive Persuation set, but it really is not worth taking.

Once you get to the Incarnate levels, Clarion in the Destiny slot will provide that mez protection, but that's a ways away and won't work if you exemp down some.

Some people aim for Ranged Defense instead of mez protection . . . but that takes some careful building and sacrifices. I'm very happy with IW and the Psi Pool.

With the Coersive Persuation proc, WoC can actually affect quite a few enemies. My frad has 3 current builds, one for AV/GM soloing, one for AoE damage, and one for maximum control potential. The control one I went with psi for tornado's KU and for WoC. Anything that didn't get stunned, held, or defeated, is in the process of defeating it's teamates.

You are definitely in the minority. I have seen very, very few people on these forums say that they like World of Confusion, even with the proc. Most people consider it to be a wasted power pick and a waste of endurance. It doesn't say much for a power when the few people who like it admit that the only thing that makes it functional at all is a purple proc.

I tried it and disliked it right away -- and I love confusion powers. I admit that I did not spend the time, effort and influence to slot it up with the Purple set, but almost everyone who has said that they did slot that set still says that World of Confusion sucks.
