I tried Ice/Kin Corruptor, but because I have chosen 3 kin spells and only 2 Ice, I lack the damage. This results in a fights, where I struggle to kill an enemy and I can just try to knock away enemies and to conserve Endurance.

On the other hand, I've created a Kin/Sound Defender yesterday and I'm shocked how faster he kills compared to my Corruptor. But I guess I'm just the type of offensive player ;d

Thanks for tips. I'll try something from Ice/Mental and Illusion.

Although for now I think I'll play with my Necro/Pain MM for a bit, at least 3 more levels to 20 ;p

Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll wait with my Controller till I find a decent SG.

I just really would like to have a ranged DPSer. I tried Elec/Elec Blaster, but he was a bit too squishy. Assault/Devices was quite fun, but there aren't many useful devices on low levels.

What combination would you propose if I would want damage and a bit of survivability? Should I just give up on Controllers and go with Blaster/Corruptor for pure damage?

Yeah, so hi. I've been playing this game for 3 weeks already, created several characters. My first one was Gravity Control/Thermal Controller, has only AoE healing from Thermal and single-target damage spells from Gravity with focus on Propel. But after I created a Minion Master, I noticed some problems.

1. My Controller burns a lot of energy to kill enemies.
2. I have a hard time doing solo missions, I had to set the difficulty to the lowest and I still had problems with Elite Bosses when they appeared.
3. I hate all mobs that stun, hold or disorient me... Especially those mesmer-like Fortunata Seers :/
4. I level up really, really slow. My MM has leveled from 5 to 17 in five days, it took me two weeks to get my Controller from 1 to 17.
5. I can't do bank robbery missions... Bosses just overpower, damage me, knock down or in some other way make me lose. On the other hand, my MM finishes them in ~7-10 minutes without so many problems.

I was thinking about making a Fire/Radiation controller or Ice/Kinetics. Should I leave my old controller and make a new one?
