So, for some reason I've had an itch to play a /Cold Dom controller lately. While shuffling through mid's trying to find some synergy between the primaries and Cold, Fire caught my eye. I've always been a fan of heavy AoE based characters (i.e. Fire/Kin, Shield/Electric, Spines/Fire). I felt like not only would a Fire/Cold be a great teaming character, but also a lot of fun to mess around with for farming potential.
My idea was to combine Sleet + Ice Storm + Hot Feet with containment from Fire Cages, all while the imps are running amuck through the group. Heat Loss to keep your end topped off. Hibernate as an Oh **** button. Arctic Fog allowing you to get close without being seen for Cinders while Flashfire is on cool down. I've considered switching Ice Mastery for Fire, taking Fireball, but was curious to how Ice would hold up in conjunction with Sleet.
Now I know it's not going to be able to run through groups like a Fire/Kin would, but I feel like it has potential and would have more of the "Fun Factor".
My intentions were to have a fun teaming/TF character that had some solo farm potential that wasn't a /Kin.
Does anyone have experience with this that can comment? If not, does this idea hold any weight whatsoever?
p.s. I've been playing CoX on and off since the summer of 06' and this is my first forum post :P
