i was wondering the other day, why dont controllers and doms have an electric control primary? there's already a good amount of electric controling powers out there so they wouldnt need any new powers, just putting them all in one set
1-electric fence- same as the blaster version
2-tesla cage-same as blasters, but with the correct dmg amount
3-electric fences-same as the mastermind patron power
4-lightning clap-same as blaster secondary power, but maybe ranged
5-lightning storm-same as the storm summoning power, maybe less dmg
6-electric shockwave-a pbaoe hold with the same character animation as glacier, and the foes would be in the same animation as tesla cage
7-short circuit-a lower damaged short circuit attack
8-static blast-a ranged cone sleep power with minor dmg
9-permanent version of voltaic sentinel-same as the blaster version, but made to be perma
i think it would be a great idea, and i konw a lot of players would love to try this out in an upcomming issue. so what do u guys think of it?

I'd play an Electric Controller. But find something other than Lightning Storm or else an Elec/Storm could drop two of them, and that would be crazy.

Hm... sounds fun, but I'd swap the storm concept for something more like a PbAoE dmg, call it something like a Lightning Surge, minor DoT with -recovery, coupled with the other localized stuff, perma setinel and all, would make for a far different troller mix. Dangerous, and fun.

Dive in, have fun, and think about it later.

There are even some more powersetpossibilities that I don't know why they aren't available.
Like a Dark-Controller, a Radiation-Blaster, a Energy-Scrapper, etc.

The reason that theres no Radaition blaster was so Defender blasts could have some unique offense set that blasters didn't have. Also, Rad blasts aren't really that powerful making them more useful for Defenders who aren't really damage dealers in the first place
Energy scrappers also kinda goes against the anti-elemental theme that scrappers seem to have. They were designed to be kind of a Natural origin arc (Where Thorns and Dark fit in there I don't know). Thats also why Scraps don't get Fire Mastery or anything. Trust me, I'd love a Energy/Regen scrapper but I don't think we're ever gonna see that
As for dark control, I actually wouldn't mind seeing that. What I'd really love to see is Dark Miasma as a secondary for trollers. Just thinking about Illusion/Dark troller makes me drool.
Lastly, I'm with everyone else on the electric control concept. It'd be fun and I'd certainly play it but Lightning Storm would have to go. Theres some hidden law in CoH where you can't have the same power twice. Having Lightning Storm from this set and Storm Summoning would just be crazy, so maybe another stun or something. And hopfuly the Voltaic Sentinel would be more useful that the blaster version...

I love the idea of an electric controller. My suggestion would be to replace Lightning Storm with Voltaic Sentinel... with the difference being that the troller actually summoned 2-3 of the sentinels. They would be similar to Phantom Army, but weaker and attackable.
For the tier 9 electric pet, elec trollers could get something like "Voltaic Guardian" which is basically a modified version of the gremlins in Cap au Diable. The pet could have attacks and fly like a Freakshow Stunner/Juicer.

i definitely think there needs to be dark miasma for controllers. it is one of my favorite sets, and it would work really well as a secondary. even if they decided to take out the pet it would be awesome, they could put in a nuke-like stun or something, like EMP in radiation emission, but with the classic dark -acc and stun. maybe it would do extra damage against ghosts and spirits and things like that. anyway, it definitely should be a controller secondary set. period.

I would definitely play an electric controller set. Instead of the Voltaic Sentinel as a pet, though, I would like to be able to summon 3 electrical gremlins (similar to the ones that hang around power stations in Cap au Diable).

I'm fairly certain that the reason for this is that Blasters are kinda the "Electric" AT. They get Electric Blast and Electric Manipulation in their set. Defenders get the blast set also, but that's ok. So Electric Manipulation is unique to blasters. Each AT needs some Uniqueness in it's primary AND secondary powersets.

you seem to be forgetting brutes.
but on the idea of adding dark miasma and rad blast, that does sound like a great idea and all, dont get me wrong, but i was more or less saying that there needs to be more power-sets, rather that giving them each to every AT with that set type. i know everyone here was extatic about DB and WP comming out, and this is something me and a lot of my friends have been thinking for a while.
about the lightning storm, i more or less just couldnt think of another power lol. maybe make a PBAoE toggle like fire control has. a lightning field with a slow added in or something along those lines.

He was commenting on the CoH AT's, not all CoX AT's.
Ron tends to take the colour of the site seriously ;-)

I dunno. On the surface more Powersets sounds nice. But the odds of extra Powersets either diluting them even further (look at all the current overlap) or making PvP balancing even more of a PitB attack are very high.
Sometimes less is more :-)

Yeah, my first thought when reading his post was "you'll notice the background of this site is Blue".
On the "Red" side, Brutes are the ONLY set that have Electrical anything.
