Mind Control

Overview

Mind Control is a standard power set that is a primary set for Controllers and Dominators. Template:UnlockController

"You can manipulate and control your opponent's mind. Since mental powers directly affect the mind, most tend to be very accurate, and thus very useful against higher level foes. Few foes can resist Psionic powers, but creatures without minds, like machines and robots, are resistant to many of the effects."

Powers

Confuse

You can confuse an enemy, forcing that foe to believe his friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack their own allies. If you Confuse someone before he has noticed you, your presence will continue to be masked. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by a Confused enemy.

Telekinesis

Lifts a foe, and any nearby foes, off the ground and repels them. The targets are helpless, unable to take action, and will continue to hover away, picking up any passing targets, as long as you keep this power active. Keeping up this level of concentration costs a lot of Endurance.
