Title: Illusion control for dominators?
Post by: Vooded on September 26, 2021, 05:04:01 pm
Any plans to port illusion control to dominators here on Rebirth? I did a quick search on these boards but nothing came up.

Not that I have heard and honestly I would consider it unlikely.

I'm not necessarily familiar with the arguments made (back in the day or more recently) regarding whether Illusion Control was a viable proliferation candidate. I'm assuming it has something to do with how the set integrates with Domination, but I don't know for certain.

Could a Nightmare Control set (or something similar) be created, a la Pain Domination vs. Empathy or Darkness Affinity vs. Dark Miasma?

I'm trying to think my way through a Nightmare powerset, and I'm running into a few issues:
So if you have 9 powers, I'm thinking a single target damaging Sleep (Mind's Mesmerize), a ST damage Hold (maybe Illusion's Blind with the AoE c/f Sleep), a ST Confuse, a ranged cone/AoE Hold (proc-Sleep on fail), a toggle PBAoE Sleep, a targeted Disorient with pseudo-pet AoE Fear/damage (a dream creature centered on/above a wandering target), and then I run out of (good) ideas.

I kind of like where you're going with a nightmare control set that has bonuses for sleep. I don't see any overlap with illusion but again illusion is so strange I have trouble seeing it work in a way that would be practical with doms.
