Illu/Pain Suggestions

[Muppy]

Hey there! I got an Illu/Pain that I have yet to roll out a build for (one I will likely need help with later, but we'll see. Maybe I'll do a decent job this time!). I was wondering if there are any powers that could be considered skippable. I know the pets are a must, but should I worry about getting deceive? Part of me wants to get that, but if I'm in a group, Deceive seems like something I may not really need... and with pets, even less so if they're just gonna crush, scare, and blast everything in their way. And of course, there are some of the pain skills. Soothing Aura seems kinda eh, but if you guys think otherwise, I'd like to know. Anyway, thanks ahead of time! I'll eventually post a build for you guys to hopefully help me out with. I'd love to get something good going with this little guy. He's mostly conceptish (picked Sorcery up cause of this!), but I want him to be a functional one if possible.

Rather than make an entirely new post, I shall dig this up from the grave to post my build. I... think I'm getting better at this?
