... How would you explain Bomb Control? Bombs are, generally, one of the most neutrally destructive weapons in the world. Unless you mean like... Trick Bombs. But even then you're threading more on Blast Sets, not Control Sets.
... and how are Devices an Assault Secondary? You DO realize you posted on the Dominator forum, right?
Or I guess you poorly wrote your title and you meant "We need Bomb Assault!"
Poison bombs, gas bombs, flash bombs...
Yeah because bombs can only go boooom
I like the concept. If you played Rift, there war a Rogue Set, the Saboteur, which was really fun

There's also a strict Lore thing about Dominators being pretty specifically supernaturally empowered, but I guess if they want they can give them "Bomb Control" and "Bomb Assault". Although "Bomb" specifically is the wrong way to do look at it.

I don't think there's any lore linking archetypes to power sources or origins. I'm dubious that the idea of archetypes even exist in the game world?

They vaguely do. Things like AE reference your "battle classification" as your AT or something like that. There's still a reference to archetypes in the SoA's fight against Statesman where he's giving a speech that tries to explain powerset proliferation as being an in-universe thing, referencing the "archetypes of Paragon City" or something like that (I'm paraphrasing a bit).|

Aside from the Epic ATs though, there's nothing in the lore that I can think of that dictates any of them adhering to any one source of power aside from any given player's lack of creativity.

While there are no strict guidelines, some powersets are easier to explain as certain origins than others. Controller/dominator primaries are lacking any blatantly natural powersets. While you can certainly make a natural troller/dom, it takes a bit more explaining than say an AR/dev blaster or a BS/Shield scrapper.

Yah... I've wanted something similar.. but I think "Device" or "Gadget" control would work out a little better.
With powers like Caltrops, Web Cocoon, Web Grenade, Flash-bomb Grenade..Tear Gas etc... All of these controls already exist in game. My fantasy pet for this would be the clone of the "Big Bot" from the Robotics power set.
You can kind of do this already with an SoA Huntsman build. There are lot of controls in the mace and gun.
But seeing domination hit with some of those powers would be awesome.
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

AT's exist in game. That's pretty much a given. They're referenced in game. Thusly, their descriptions must, too!|

DOMINATORS ARE SPESHUL.
Tier Nine, paper bag on-fire with dog poop in it.
I think what would be cool is a bomb/grenade/devices Dom. While I am normally very against redraw/weapons, since each animation is actually getting another device, greande, etc. it would make sense.
plus, then I could finally create my very own Midnight Bomber what Bombs at Midnight!. yeah baby yeah!
