Overview

Water Control is a primary power set for Controllers and Dominators.

"You have total control over the power of water. Water Control grants you superior control over large groups and the ability to deal a good amount of damage to single targets. Your powers have a chance to inflict drowning on a target; while under this effect Deluge, Suffocate, Hypothermia, Turbulent Aura, and Tidal Wave will deal more damage and these power's secondary effects are increased."

Powers

Deluge

You cause a torrent of water to crush your foe causing High Cold and Smashing damage knocking them off their feet and reducing their movement speed.

Geyser Burst

You create a sphere of variable speed winds that generate strong friction within the turbulence of the air. This creates odd echoes and sounds that confuse foes caught within the burst. The loss of confidence your foes suffer due their confusion causes them to lose endurance over a few seconds, while you gain endurance due to a boost in confidence you enjoy from seeing your foes struggle. This power builds Pressure.

Hypothermia

You gather air above your target before forcefully pressurizing it into a downward flowing vortex. The force of the downdraft prevents your target from moving, effectively holding them in place and preventing flight. The force of the downdraft leaves the target winded, reducing their movement and attack speeds for a short time while they recover. This power builds Pressure.

Riptide

You unleash a powerful gust of wind in the direction of your foes. This gust has enough force to deal minor smashing damage to your foes and knock them to the ground. The debris blown at your opponent temporarily blinds them, reducing their chance to hit. This power builds Pressure.

Suffocate

You trap your foe in a watery sphere causing them to helplessly gasp for air. While affected by this power your target will suffer Moderate Cold damage over time, be rendered Held and be unable to attack and have reduced defense for a short time. This power has a moderate change to place the Drowning effect on its target. Suffocate deals additional damage and has improved movement speed reduction against foes suffering from Drowning.

Tidal Wave

You gather air at the feet of your target before forcefully pressurizing it into an upward flowing vortex. The force of the updraft pulls your target into the sky. When the updraft dissipates, your target falls to the ground and suffers moderate smashing damage. The affected target is also unable to fly for a short time. This power builds Pressure.

Turbulent Aura

You release all available Pressure to create an extremely powerful blast of air that descends from the skies and spreads out over a large radius. Any foes caught within the burst are immediately stunned by the force of the wind and suffer smashing damage.Flying foes are knocked out of the sky, while all foes suffer reduced movement speed that lingers for some time. The damage done increases in proportion to the amount of Pressure released when using this power. Also, Microburst can reduce your target's defenses when the highest levels of Pressure are released.

Water Golem

You can create a true Vortex cloud to assist you in battle. This Vortex will build Pressure along with you as you use your powers. This will allow its attacks to have a chance, proportional to current pressure, for critical damage. However, at higher pressures, the Vortex will be unable to use some of its powers. The Manipulation of Pressure on this pet through the use of Vacuum upon it will grant you the Clear Skies buff. Both this power and Vacuum are required to automatically unlock Clear Skies.
