Power Over Time (PoT)
Every troller should have a PoT(Power Over Time).Power over time is only provided by Controllers.It is a Buff, marked with a green lightning bolt that is given to the group including the controller himself automatically generating power in small amounts for around 22-25 seconds.(Troller With The highest Vit PoTs Throught The Alert/Raid Be Sure To know what the Other Trollers Vit is)

Gadgets:
Sticky Bomb/Taser Pull


Mental:
Terror Tendrils/Telekinesis




Hard Light:
Boxing/Light Claws






Quantum:
Tachyon Burst/Gravitonic Field

Controller Debuffs & When To Use Them!
Debuffs Should be used Every 10 seconds throught the battle.
Controllers Debuffs

Gadgets:
Defense:Gauss Grenade/Stasis Field Reduces Defense by 7% and Toughness by 10%.
Healing: Cyrofoam/Reduces Healing by 25% and removes any Power over Time effects.
Damage: Sleep Dart Reduces the target's damage output by 7% and removes any active Damage buff.

Healing: Gravity Bomb/Anomaly Healing by 25% and removes any Power over Time effects.
Damage: Tachyon Blast/Alcubierre Wave Reduces the target's damage output by 7% and removes any active Damage buff.

Tip: Do not Spam debuffs back To back you will eventually run out of Power and have nothing to give Back to the Other Roles, I Highly Suggest You use a Debuff at ur 9th Second (Count in your head/hit the enemy 5x's other 5Sec goes to you giving Power Out.
Controller Supercharges
Being Able to use a supercharge when the Group Power Is Lacking or when an important Role Goes Down is Supportive.

Gadgtes: Should Use Either Word Of Power (Based On Shazam) Summons lightning to knock back and stun opponents while healing you and restoring power to you and up to 7 group members. (Electrifies enemies, making them vulnerable to Electrified Power Interactions) or Speed Drain in the Speed Drain, Drains kinetic and metabolic energy from nearby enemies to cause damage over time and restore power to you and your allies (1.6 SeC).(50% Supercharge, Also Usable While Controlled)

Mental: Should Use Bastion, Protect yourself and seven other teammates from damage and restores Power Over Time. While active, enemy attacks deal damage back to your attackers. Damage Prevention = 100% Dominance + 100% Restoration.(50% Supercharge)

Hard Light: Group Shielding, Shields you and group mates, preventing damage and restoring Power. Damage Prevention = 100% Dominance + 100% Restoration.(50% Supercharge, Also Usable While Controlled)

Quantum: Should Use Event Horizon, Protects Yourself and 7 Other teammates from Damage. While Active, Enemy Attacks grant you power and deal damage back to your attackers.(50% Supercharge, Also Usable While Controlled)
Vitalization
What is Vitalization?
Vitalization-Vitalization increases power generation effects.
10 points of Vitalization increase base power generation by 1%.
When another troller has more Vitalization he will Be PoT(Power Over Time) through out the entire raid and you will be the supporter (running debuffs and just doing Power out constantly).
With Out Vit you cannot troll. Now as new Content comes out the Vit is rising and the DPS are using 3x's as much power as they did For Ex. When Prime Battleground was the Main Tier.
As a troller you want to have as much Vitalization as possible and to do that you need Gear And Mods.
Innates In The Iconic Powers Tree You Should Also Spec For
[/previewimg]Word of Power: Knock back and stun opponents while healing you and restoring power to you and up to 7 group members. (Gadgets RECOMMENDED)

Intimidating Gaze (Innate) : +25 Dominance(Not Needed/Up To You)

Wisdom of Solomon (Innate) : +50 Vitalization +100 Power (RECOMMENDED All Troller Types GET)

When you're trolling Hard Light, do you need to physically press the button of the light ability to get the effects, or can you light combo into the next sequence and get the various debuffs as you go from one light for to the other?

To become a troller your going to need to be a troller power. after becoming that power you will farm gear and earn troll gear from that. Youll Need Mods to fill in that gear. Everything is in this description. It doesnt list every specific detail but check out some youtube vids.
