Will-O'-Wisp 15% dps boost

The Will-O'Wisp grants 15% bonus for control powers, but does anyone have a list of the control powers for GWF?

It's easy to tell which powers are control for CW in regards to activating the High Vizier 4/4 set power, but Will-O'-Wisp can be used by any class, and some of them don't have control powers.

Does this bonus give 15% more damage to controlled targets or boost the damage from controlling encounters, for example?

    Why would it do?
    Will-o-wisp is only lenghten the effect of the control powers or maybe cause powers like repel to push farther.
    I haven't heard anything in connection with cc bonus to do more dps.

    The control bonus only increases the duration of control skills by 15% , it also has 25% control resist .

    Where did you get that info from?

    Try a dungeon run with a Wisp in your active companion slot, and then another with the Wisp switched. Compare the damage.

    If it was 15% longer then I'm pretty sure the description would read "lengthens the duration of control effects by 15%"

    Is there a list of control powers for each class perhaps?

    it is a duration icrease, you can gain bonus dmg from the fact that control give you combat advantage and that gives you a little dmg boost

    Well, in this game when you see a Control Resistance or Control Bonus, it's always about the time and it always had been like that, where did you get the info that it was about the damage?.

    Either way, DPS boost. ;)

    So far none of the replies answered my question though - which of the GWF powers count as control and receive the Wisp's bonus?

    I do admit there was such speculation... but It's not a DPS boost and it's been tested countless times already.

    Still, I will answer the question. "Not so fast", "frontline surge", "knockdown" , "roar" encounters and "savage advance", "avalache of steel", "slam" dailies(not sure if you get dmg boost from trample the fallen while it's active and slows your enemies though) .

    Come and Get It on the next attack, as I understand it. Also, if you have Trample the Fallen slotted, you should also get the benefit longer from the extended duration of your own powers.

    This was my first thought as well..
