Earth Control

Overview

You can control the forces of the Earth. You can manipulate earth and stone to defeat your foes. The crushing force of many Earth Powers can reduce a target's Defense. Being of the Earth, many of these powers need to be performed while on the ground.

Earth Control is a Controller primary power set, and as of Issue 12 a Dominator primary power set.

Powers

The following are powers in the Earth Control powerset.

Animate Stone

Earth and stone coalesce to form an incredibly tough entity that can attack your foes. The Animated Stone is virtually immune to Psionic damage and highly resistant to all other types. It is also virtually immune to Sleep, Immobilize, Disorient, and Hold effects, and highly resistant to Knockback, Knockup, and Repulsion. The entity can be healed and buffed like any teammate.
