The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I have a full grown one and it's very good. But I think a bit less than /rad or /cold. And the -tohit debuff from FS is noticeable.

The reason they took some of the control out of Dark Affinity is because you get a lot of that from your primary. And, I suspect another reason is that Dark Affinity keeps the Dark Servant. Dark Servant, in and of itself, gives you a pretty good additional "mini" controller.

Toss in another vote for Dark/Time being the most popular girl in school. I'll probably roll one too. I'm still deciding if it will replace my main.

Add another.

The potential for easy softcap is just too much to resist. Arguably you wouldn't need to softcap with all the -tohit, but I'd still do it, cause I like having the extra buffer against defense debuffs.

I would have rerolled my Dark/Poison Merman corruptor as a Dark/Poison controller, but the wolf pet kinda ruins that. I still like the puppy though... if he'd just stop all that yapping...

I'll probably try a Dark/Time - if it goes well I'll spend some inf.
I'm not totally loaded but have some inf stashed away - I don't normally use procs but if I did - which ones would be good and in which powers on Dark/Time please - Thank you

Clears throat and rolls out list:

I plan to make...

1. Dark/Storm- Hello 5 (or 6) pets/pseudo-pets out at once.
2. Dark/Poison- Super -To Hit nice -Res numbers.
3. Dark/Time- Heh
4. Dark/Kin- This will replace my main grav/kin
5. Dark/Rad- Maybe I have never been able to play /Rad past lvl 20
6. Dark/TA- Maybe

Oh, goodie. An excuse to make a list. He started it! I swearz!

After looking at my free slots and my existing characters, I plan to make:

Dark/Storm
Dark/Force Field
Dark/Rad
Dark/Time
Dark/Dark
Dark/Energy (Dominator)

Also, I will remake my Egyptian King (poisoned by his sister) vengeful spirit guy as a Dark/Poison controller, since it fits even better than Illusion/Poison.

As for other new powersets, I plan on earth/dark controller, fire/dark controller, illusion/dark controller, fire/dark dom, and staff/sr scrapper.

I22 will keep me busy!

My Dark/Dark blaster that's sitting bored (and relatively unplayed) in Preatoria will likely be rerolled into a Dark/Dark controller. My Illusion stage magicians will welcome another member to the troupe with an Illusion/Dark.

As tempting as Illusion/Dark or Dark/Storm are . . .

I already have 4 level 50 Illusion/* controllers, plus 3 more in the 30's. AND
I already have 4 level 50 */Storm controllers, plus one more in the late 40's and a few lower than that.

So I'll probably go with a Dark/Dark to get both sets out of the way. I already have a Dark M/Elec Defender and a Thugs/Dark M Mastermind at 50 and a Fire/Dark M Corrupter in the 40's, so Dark Miasma is pretty familiar.

I also want to go either Plant/Dark or Dark/Dark...I finally deleted Emp...he's been sitting there collecting dust for over 3 years. I need something a bit more active and /Dark is it...mind you it is superior in any way to Empathy I just need a Support set that is more active like /Time or /Dark.
