My advice is to take a step back and evaluate before jumping on forum responses. It lets everyone breath and make better responses all-around. (I'm guilty of this too)
Anywho, my 2inf is that given that you can build to solo 4/8 difficulty, this can in theory sour the experience of those teamed with you who cannot do the same. If you can solo literally all content, you could blitz the whole mission and the rest of the team is left twiddling their thumbs in a sense. I don't see many talking about being the non-uber character on a team and it being a bad thing so much as people talking about how things are easy for their uber character.
What I mean by that is not "Buff all but Troller TA", but rather that they do not have to be the same 1:1 set. Like how Traps on MM's has Detonator vs Time Bomb for other AT's. Or how all the Dark Blasts are all different, I like when the "same" set has some differences based on the AT.
Perhaps the Controller version is heavier on the Buff/Debuff aspect while other AT's get better control / etc, and similar global boosts.
Unfortunately, AE has no real "controls" in terms of what to throw at players. You can certainly make really tough mobs, but on the flipside you can make stupid-tough encounters that are just number checks.
Big bump here, but since Pineapple got Thanos snapped I have yet to been able to test further. The last post showed no substantial difference from those two secondaries, but it got me thinking..... Would it be worth repeating these tests with the only difference being the secondary for a "Secondary Comparison"?
Tbh, any power with a >75% chance to proc already triggers basically every time anyways, especially if it can be fired rather quickly. In those examples, there really won't be much of a difference in performance if at all. Those ones are less a chance to occur and more a chance of it not to happen, which is weird IMO but oh well.
You don't get to shout me down by saying one thing, get proven 100% false, then respond like that. I want you to do some homework, look up all these powers you claim are crappy due to side effects, and compare them before coming to a thread and speaking down to ideas and spouting false info.
Sonic Blast as a whole has reliable debuffing, and Shockwave as a 100% KB AND Siren's Song as a sleep
Dark Blast does a decent amount of damage and has straight up control powers that vary per AT, and it has great debuffs
