I made an Earth/Fire Dominator who is level 42 or so. He rocks. Well, he is slow, but steady. The controls are nice, and the damage, while not stellar, gets the job done. The nice thing about Earth Control is that you have the ability to really keep the foes neutralized for long periods of time, so it gives time for your damage to add up. The Dom buffs in I15 may make this even better.
I've heard Earth/Electric is pretty slick too, but I havent tried it. I think Electricity is more of a single target set in the early levels.
You probably can't go wrong with any choice, though I think Earth/Energy would perhaps be a weak combination due to the knockback conflicting with the location-based controls. Still, I'm sure someone has made it work.
So, I like Earth/Fire, but you could probably pick anything.

I'm looking to level a dom above 20 and would like advice on secondary.
Previous attempts include fire/fire, fire/thorns, ice/nrg, mind/ice, mind/thorns and grav/thorns.
Thankful for any help in selecting a secondary.

Earth/Fire, Eerth/Electric for a damage focused build. Earth/Psi and Earth/Thorns for a debuffnng dom. And Earth/Ice for stacking slows and -recharge.
Earth works with pretty much any of the assault sets, just depends on what you want to do.

How well would an Earth/Ice work? I have one and while he is ok,I am thinking of deleting her since I am not feeling the /Ice. I mean my first dom was a Mind/Psi and PSW made me gigle in my pants...I just cant find something as great...would be interested in rolling an Earth/Fire

It sounds like you enjoy lots and lots of damage, then Earth/Fire might be nice for you to try. Heck or just go Fire/Fire ore Fire/Electric.
Earth/Ice, from what I've seen, is pretty damned solid control all the way around, but not a super high damage build. I don't know if there are any seasoned Earth/Ice Doms reading this trhead. Hopefully there are and maybe they can enlighten us more.

I'd probably wait until after the upcoming Dom buffs before deleting anything; you might find it more fun afterwards.
Earth/Ice does suffer from a lack of synergy though, since several of Earth's powers aren't affected by Ice's Power Boost.

I'd say Earth/Ice synergy is in the stacking slows from ICE meshing will with Earth's solid Aoe Controls. Nothing is getting away from an Earth/Ice. Again it would probably do well on teams not so sure how well it would solo.
