Ill/Dark worth it?

I will definitely be making an Illusion/Dark.. I have wanted this combo for years !!!!!!


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Like I said (and you ignored in favor of a strawman): I'm not sure yet, it depends, it could change, and in my opinion. I don't know how to make that more clear.
You do make a song and dance about how good dark control is compared to other sets. Its as if u r miffed and want it needs while everyone else just want to give constructive feedback.

I plan to make Illusion/Dark, Dark/Dark, *and* Fire/Dark. So it is all win to me.

With the disclaimer that I haven't actually played the set and have just been looking at numbers - which can always be deceptive - while dark is good, I doubt it will unseat ill as a top-tier powerset. Illusion's strength is that it controls the things that no control or debuff neutralizes, not having any of the traditional controller achilles heels (mez immunes, big all-boss/EB spawns, AV and above, big alpha strikes, etc.) and vastly reducing the necessity for defense. There will always be value in that.

That said, Dark looks great and I'm looking forward to having something worth playing that isn't fire, plant or ill.
