I'd Really Like Radiation Control for Doms and Controllers

[Sagenius]

Dom is my favorite class and thematically Rad Control would be the bee's knees. Anyone else have thoughts on how it could work? I'm not creative enough to scheme out an entire powerset, but I know a lot of you are.

Radioactive bees?

I love theorycrafting!  Radiation Control for Controllers and Dominators:

 

 Electron Shackles: ranged, single target, immobilize, minor DoT (energy), additional damage if ingested Radionuclides 

 Mutate: ranged, single target, hold, minor DoT (energy), additional damage if ingested Radionuclides 

 Radionuclides: ranged, targeted AoE, immobilize, -speed, minor DoT (energy), Special

 Radiation Poisoning:  ranged, targeted AoE, sleep, -defense if ingested Radionuclides

 Radioactive: Toggle, PBAoE, minor energy DoT, -speed, -defense if ingested Radionuclides

 Low Yield: PBAoE, knockback, stun, minor energy DoT, -defense if ingested Radionuclides

 Nuclear Winter: ranged, targeted AoE, hold, -defense if ingested Radionuclides

Nuclear Flash: ranged, targeted AoE, blind, energy/fire DoT, additional damage if ingested Radionuclides 

 Nuclear Disaster: single pet, high damage resists and regen, does radioactive melee energy/smashing damage.  More of a tanky pet like Earth Control's.  Looks like a hydra with radiation armor.

Love the pet and the picture! Seems like it could work. Would the pet be capable of spreading radionuclides?

Love the idea and thought that went into that!

 

My only critique would be renaming the Nuclear Disaster pet. Perhaps something like Atomic Avenger (Toxic Avenger!) or swap the name with Mutate, and rename Mutate to something different. I would suggest cancer something or other, although that might touch on people's feelings about cancer so I am unsure about. As someone who has cancer, I am quite open and glib about my own but understand others are not, so...

 

But otherwise, excellent ideas!

Seems like adding that ability to the pet might be overpowered, or would result in reducing his resists or damage to maintain balance.  This is all for fun though, so, sure why not?

Yeah I considered Carcinogens as a name for something in there, but didn't want to be insensitive.

I like where you're going with this but I think you have too much -def. I would throw a bunch of -dam and -rec in there as secondary effects, and I'd pull something similar to Choking Cloud that causes a puke effect.
