I would have guessed it was going to be a shadow simulacrum. Good info. Thanks!
i22 in general looks pretty awesome

I thought they were going to create a new Mastermind primary "Primal" set with "animals". Looks like they are going to create one for Darkness Control first!
My thoughts? Cool. It's a pet so it fits controller better but not as good for Dominator and I only play Dominator. 
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.
Could be testing the waters for an animal mastermind set. See how the attack animations work and all that jazz. Personally I'd prefer a SWAT unit for MM's next, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Right on both counts; they are making Darkness Control first, but Beast Mastery is slated for sometime after I 22 but before I 23.|

I've never been much a fan of the way MMs play, but for animal summoning... I'll make it work.
@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
I second that! Not sure what secondary I'd like to use with them though.

Or poison, just so it kind of thematically goes with the swarm blasts (also, OMG SWARM BLASTS!)

It's okay, I wonder if it means we won't get an animal control set. |

Edit - would be kind of nice if this were the first MM set to get customization....
Instead of summon wolves, make it summon canines.....instead of summon lions, summon big cats....and the let players customize. Maybe I want panthers or leopards....or dachshunds instead of wolves..... ( ' :

I can't agree with this enough I do hope we get pet customisation at some point. I like the umbral wolf but i wouldn't want it for every dark controller I make. Since they called the power umbral beast we should get the choice of other beasts and not be restricted to four legged as well.
