To me, at least, capping a team's damage with a "stroke of the pen" counts as unique. I certainly can't think of another power that does it.

I opened this thread wondering how many times Fulcrum Shift would be mentioned and (thus far) it's ZERO? So easy answer: Fulcrum Shift.

Personally I like having random events that I can "lose". Once upon a time you'd see purple text across your screen and you were filled with anticipation to see if you got elated by an apocalypse or heartbroken by a Fortunata Hypnosis. Now, while I'm still happy to see purple text across the screen, I may not even bother looking to see what it is because, worst case, it's 1-3 converters away from something I can use. Today, Aeon (and advanced LG) are the only means of attaining that same thrill, the one you get from a royal flush at the casino. A few weeks ago I triple boxed Aeon and got 2 provo drops. That was pretty much one of the top 10 days of my life. I'm ok with a few acc/to-hit debuff/def debuff HOs along the way to get that high from an unlikely great drop.

I recently made a new /dark troller and took Black Hole to see what's up. I'm all for getting the hashtag #snarkywasright trending, because he is about Black Hole. I guess it could be helpful if you have a melee teammate and you want to bunch mobs a bit tighter on them. For me solo on a pyro/dark, it doesn't do anything at all that I can use . The radius is smaller than that of my aoes. I'll be respeccing out of it. Add to that I have to remember to NOT use it for zone GM fights. I was in a War in the Vale recently and I've been in the habit of using Black Hole and was about to use it on Jack but fortunately remember that's just going to phase him. Boo! Black Hole, I say Boo!

This isn't a real, thorough review, just drive-by thoughts. A debuff proc in Smoke Grenade means it WILL notify mobs when you use it. Personally I use that power as a means of clicking glowies, not wanting to be seen, so I never use debuff (or damage) procs in such a power. I love Rune for Veats. I would strongly suggest moving a resist from Foresight to Rune, preferably an Unbreakable Guard and +5 it. Is Rectified Reticle unique really providing any value? You've already got TT:L. Maybe you're PVPing? With my Widows in PVE I don't have an issue seeing mobs that try to blind me. You could put another LotG there instead.

I'm revisiting KM now with a Stalker. One thing I'm digging is 100% crits from hide with Burst.

OP, I know you're looking for a real answer but the truth is it doesn't matter, it just doesn't. IMO there are only 3 sub 50 tfs that can't be duod with any two characters off the shelf with SO builds - Katie, Morty and Sutter. For everything else, a nice insp loadout and a Shivan as backup (usually not needed) will get it done, full stop. So whatever your daughter will most enjoy.

Um, that's what I said I did in the thing you quoted.

Controller pets (the t9s at least) are commandable like MM pets. Their default stance is defensive so you should probably set the default to aggressive. You'll probably need to change your pet menu to advanced mode. Note to powers that be - you really should work on the messaging for this. It comes up a LOT.

To the above point, Cupid's Crash includes 11% global acc in the 4th slot. I've been playing an Ill dom that 6 slotted Cupid's Crush in PA. I'm pleased with the results.

Purple sets give 59.62% accuracy (unboosted) so 60.95% seems like plenty to me.

My own 2 inf after spending a good amount of time with an Ill dom over the last few months. I've never given the lack of PA taunt a second thought. When I summon them within a spawn, they grab alpha aggro which is enough before I cast an aoe mez, which thanks to Gleam (HUGE upgrade from group invis) is up for every encounter. I suppose if I set out to do solo big game hunting (GM/AVs/Heroes) I might miss that taunt but I didn't so I don't. I'm not the biggest fan of the PA kd. Sometimes, and I wouldn't call it a rare occurrence, two kd effects strike simultaneously causing kb.

I'm pretty far into Musc at this point but Vigor Radial is a clever choice. I was wondering how you got to mag 8 but then I saw the "note". I think I'm going to scrap Musc and follow your path.

Here's my VEAT immobing him 5 minutes ago, no problem, with WAWG. Mag 3 protection is trivial for traps/web grenade to overcome.

That's immob resistance, not protection. I've absolutely immobed him with a /traps MM with web grenade.
