You can have a look at this thread , but most people will say either Psi (for the psi-resistant shield and status protection) or Primal Forces (for Power Boost).
PS and please drop that silly Fighting pool

That thread focussed on PvP use of epics which may be why most suggestions were for Psi or Primal. Personally I picked up fire on my ill/kin. I could have picked up the psi pool but I don't really need psi-resistance for PvE and I have break frees for status protection when I need it. Primal was another one I was looking at picking but I didn't think I would get as much benefit from power boost as other kinds of controllers might. In the end it came down to personal preference and what fit my character best - I wanted to be able to deal more damage and I thought fire attacks would go better with my character's look.
Fireblast is a good single target blast and generally does quite good damage. It's very handy having a good single target attack that does a different damage type to spectral wounds. No longer do I have to struggle against certain enemy types because they're resistant to psi damage (a high level banished pantheon mission from Unai Kemen became a happy xp-fest whereas when I was facing them in Striga they frustrated the hell out of me due to the amount of time it took me to whittle down their health).
Fireball is a nice aoe attack that is great fun to use directly after fulcrum shifting a large group, especially if you or someone else has set up containment for double damage (I love getting invited to teams with lots of other controllers as I'm pretty much guaranteed containment ).
My damage dealing on teams has increased a lot since I picked up the two fire pool attacks and my soloing speed has also improved a lot. I'll be picking up fire shield at lvl 49 to round out my build (I haven't bothered with consume as transference gives me all the endurance I need).

Yes, I did read the thread But people also discuss PvE preferences. And most of the 41+ ill trollers I know have chosen either Psi or Primal (and many of them don't do much PvP).

I still find it very useful in PvE (Carnies, psy clockwork, many Praetorians - including AVs-, etc.)
I agree Fire probably has the highest damage, so it depends what you are looking for in your Epics, i.e. a more offensive/defensive build

i went for fire on my ill controller, it did up my damage output quite a bit at least PVE.
