Well if you don't like knockback any secondary other then energy and ar would work. Secondary I would think thermal would be the best, since it has resists to stack on yours and heals, with a couple of nice buffs as well. Though every secondary would add to your experience, though you don't like storm.
Dirges
Elec/Therm would be a good choice. It would provide a lot of -end synergy along with the resistance buffs stated above.
she made a rad/pain and an elec/dark. hoping one of those work out well.
I'm looking for a good match for my wife to play with my brute. She doesn't like moving around all that much, and hates superspeed. When she plays her /storm mastermind the knockbacks and repels drive me nuts for gathering things up. We rarely group up besides just the 2 of us. so I'd like to get some good synergy going. Thoughts?
