Mind Control

Overview

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. Mind Control is a primary powerset for Controllers and Dominators.

Powers

The following are powers in the Mind Control powerset.

Confuse

You can confuse an enemy, forcing him to believe his friends are not who they appear to be. If successful, the enemy will ignore you and attack his 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.

Notes

Mind Control is a rarely-seen set, despite the fact that it has the potential to be devastating due to the largely unresistable Psionic damage, due to the lack of a "Pet" at Level 32. This effectively forces a high-level Mind Control player to team, as their solo capacity is greatly reduced in comparison.
