Parasitic Control

Your bond with the various vermin that infest your body has grown so strong that you can manipulate them as a tool to plague your enemies. Including such powers as; Tape Worm Impale, where you send your own tape worm out across the ground to lung up into your opponents and root them in place. Ring Worm Hide, where you cause your enemies to grow thick ring worm across their body slowing them down and reducing their accuracy in combat. And Pubic Lice Swarm, a tier 9 pet that hinders and afflicts your enemies in various ways, but mainly by making them itch vigorously.

Confuse Allie

If this was supposed to be Confuse Ally then I would have loved that power and used it more than any other power in the game on my friends. One of my favorite moments was during the Lord Recluse Strike Force, getting confused as the granite tank, turning to my best friend (our biggest damage dealer) who was NOT confused, and taunting him. We nearly team wiped that fight because I fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard at his response over Skype.

I thought that already existed with one of the powersets.  I know made Storm Summoning all colorful for a short time and tried to get as many powers going at once for the one Controller I played.  But I'm a noob when it comes to griefing.

Nature Summoning (if that's the name) did have a lot of powers you could spawn and keep going for a short while.

Storm was fun...just not (ducks preemptively) terribly useful in comparison to many other support sets. It had what I believe was the most powerful single target heal besides Absorb Pain, and a couple decent debuffs, but it just didnt have enough going for it besides looking really cool. I'm sure some people made it work for them, but for the jack of all trades powersets there were much better options.

My favorite character was my Plant/Storm troller - the secondary worked just fine for me.   Besides, I never went for the most effective builds - I always went for concept.
My Earth/Storm was a lockdown/knockdown/procdown death machine against most enemies. Not as fast as some Controller builds, but nothing below AV/GM level had a chance. With a few procs in Freezing Rain and Volcanic Gases most spawns just dissolved without a chance to retaliate. Tornado could rack up some impressive damage against AVs as well once the trash was cleared out.


For sheer flair my Plant/Dark was my funnest and creepiest alt at the end. (Just the Carrion Creepers noise alone as it followed me around invisibly... ;D )


Still, powers i'd never want... Lighting Control: all you can do is make it brighter or dimmer although a few powers can stun enemies and induce seizures in other players. Lighting Blast: lots of stuns and -perception effects, but all the powers below the tier 9 power, LAZER BEAM, do Force Bolt level damage. Edit: Hmm, Build Up equivalent for Lighting Blast, IMA CHARGING MY, adds a DoT damage proc to the tier 9 in addition to the damage boost.

The keyboard buster power.
At a crucial moment, it ignores your keyboard input completely.

Well, it would boost hardware sales.

(
You: Mom, I need a new keyboard.
Mom: What's wrong with your old one.
You: Ummm, the cat sat on it.
Mom: That shouldn't have ...
You: (holding the broken keyboard out from behind your back for her to see that it's smashed to pieces.)
Mom: Good Lord!
)

Wait, you mean your computer doesn't ignore your keyboard input completely at crucial moments? Mine certainly does. And my mouse. And my controller. Oh and every game console and computer I've ever had does/did the same thing. Maybe I'm snakebit ;P
