Fearsome Stare: -15% tohit
Chill of the Night: -30% tohit
Shadow Fall: +3.75% def

These are what the Controller base values would be, assuming no changes to the scalars. If they leave Dark Servant rather than using DreadShinobi's suggestion, the Chill of the Night value remains the same, too (and you add a second copy of Twilight Grasp and Darkest Night).

Chill of the Night would be like Hurricane essentially, so it would make a good replacement for Dark Servant methinks. Maybe attach it to a toggle and make its cost similar to Hurricane.

I think Fearsome Stare and Pet.Gaze are also problematic for a secondary since it could be assumed they would want Pet.Gaze as the Dark Control single target hold and Fearsome Stare as the medium recharge AoE control (ex: Mass Hyp, Flashfire, etc...)

One question I would like to know is : Would it be worth it to make JUST Dark Control and leave Dark Miasma as a Defender only power or Vice versa (Make Dark Miasma for controllers, but NOT make Dark Control). The later kinda leads to less "Darkness" for all ATs, where the former would give Dark to Doms, Controllers and Blasters with greater ease.

I guess what I am saying is the easiest solution is : Dark Control (Heavy similarity to Dark Miasma), Dark Assault and Dark Manipulation, but sorry no Dark Miasma for Controllers

I'd be more looking for a Dark Assault set for Domis more. That's tricky too thanks to Soul Drain already being in the PPPs (although Warshades get multiple copies of Mire already) but by making the PBAOE a mash-up of Soul Drain and something like Dark Pit / Howling Twilight you could overcome that.

Soul Pit :
PBAOE, 15 foot
1.1 damage scalar,
60 second recharge,
50% chance of Mag 2 Stun for 8 seconds
50% chance of mag 3 afraid for 5 seconds
ToHit +0.9% for 30s
DMG(All Types) +3.4% for 30s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs]
ToHit +4.25% for 30s Effect does not stack from same caster
DMG(All Types) +17% for 30s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] Effect does not stack from same caster

The chance to Stun and Fear are taken from Howling Twilight, and could still be excessive (might drop them to 30%)
The ToHit and Damage are half that of Soul Drain normally for Domis. Saturated you're talking about about a 33% damage buff for 30 seconds (might drop to 20 seconds in fact)

Make it the Tier 8 power. The downside is of course that the recharge of your PBAOE is 3 times longer than the norm for Domi PBAOEs.

You know them little shadow type imps? Black Swans Shadow minions? 3 of them the dark versions of Fire Imps would be good pets. Doesn't have to be Fluffy.

This is how I might do it:

1 Petrifying Gaze
2 Midnight Grasp
3 Tar Patch
4 Fearsome Stare
5 Dark Pit
6 Black Hole
7 Soul Transfer
8 Shadow Minions
9 Soul Reaper (-end,-health to target, +end rec, +regen to self + pets)


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I would so want this...correction, I've wanted this ever since I did that mission. Sure I can color the Fire Imps, but obviously Fire Control has a much different flavor then an abyssal feel.

But pretty sure that isn't happening, but another one I've always wanted is Dark Assault for Dominators. Plant Control and that would make a sweet pairing, at least conceptually for me.
