Dominator/Brute duo build question

Me and my friend just recently started playing and I made a Dominator Earth/Fire and he made a Brute. My question is should I stick out Earth/Fire for our makeup or do something else? I can handle harder builds so dont be shy. What would be best for PvP for us and then PvE.
I will appreciate any info as I know nothing

Earth/Fire is, and will be, a solid PvE and PvP combination. Of course you'll want to use a different build for the PvE side than the PvP side since many powers that are good in PvE are bad in PvP, and vice versa.

Would Mind/Elec be any better? I dont know the pros and cons for both. Would Mind/Elec be more towards pvp or no?

In pve you'd want to stack stuns so I'd go with grav/nrg.

I think ive dwindled between Earth/Fire and Plant/Fire I just dont know much of the differences of each

Earth is more thematic (IMO), it has harder controls and tons of them. Fire is a high, but slow damaging secondary so it doesn't work best with plant/ since bosses only take a few seconds to kill a nearby neighbor.

Yeah I seem to like Earth Fire, I might try Mind/Elec as well and see which one I like the best. Im sure I will be fine in PvP with Earth Fire as well too I guess from what Ive read.

I would think that Fire/Nrg would be better for stacking stuns as they get their AoE stun a little bit earlier than grav.

Crowd Control - Range 8 ft Arc 180*
Whirling Mace - Range 10 ft Arc 360*

If they had a way to group up the enemies very closely they could make very good use of these attacks. If only there was some powerset the could group them up...



Not to mention that grav/ will do more control in a duo situation than fire/ (and solo), they aren't even close for teams though. Fire/nrg is also VERY endurance heavy.
