Which controller next?...

I currently have a Mind/Rad controller who is lvl 40 (almost 41) So I'm thinking about my next controller.....what would you recommend? I would like /Storm...was thinking Fire maybe...but I'm not quite sure....any suggestions?
I 'm looking for good control, not too concerbed with damage and it will be a PvE build.

Earth/Storm might work well. Synergi between Quicksand and the slows from Storm....
Also using the 3 targetted AoE's in Earth, then using Gale to make sure they stay on them with some skill.

*Shrug*

Fire / Storm will give you decent hard control. Earth would give you even more control but less damage. Either benefits from the Group Immob & Freezing Rain combo. With Earth you get super bonus double knockdown fun with Earthquake and freezing rain. Knockdown doesn't give you containment though

Earth is so ugly though. It's so hard to see anything in a large team to see anything with the holds & immobs, especiially the AOEs

You basically can't go wrong but you should always look for good synergy.

Earth/Storm: Great synergy and a controlling powerhouse

Grav/Storm: Good synergy and the best Pet for added control.

Ice/Storm or /Rad: Again really good synergy

Fire/Kin or /Rad: Awesome damage and good controls on top of this. Fire/Kin is the most fun I've had with a toon.

Or basically anything /kin, /rad or /storm


Won't go into mind and illusion since you already seem to have them.

Fire/Storm is just fantastic. I also highly suggest Fire/Trick arrow-that set has some serious controlling/damage potential.

Just to be different... Earth / Sonic is what I would play right now if I hadnt got my grav/sonic to 30...

Earthquake + Liquefy = yummy

Sonic Disruption on Stoney pet = yummy

Sonic shields on Stoney pet = Capped resistance

Sonic Siphon and Clarity nice secondaries.

If you can bear it, Sonic Detention field will all a significant control for you.

Most importantly, you will be different!

Thanks for all your suggestions, I actually think I might go for Illusion/Storm. I like Illusion but it seems to lack in hard control, so I thought storm might make up for some of the control illusion lacks.
I also thikn it might be alot of fun to play, lots if chaos

ice/storm is a good set to

earth/storm ftw!

Seriously, for PvE there seriously isn't a better character on ANY of the ATs, and don't let anyone tell you different. Fire/kin controllers level faster than any other build period.

Solo fire/rad lvl's faster. Kin is good, but not awesome solo untill fulcrum shift. After lvl 40 Fire/rad is awesome, but Fire/kin is the uber PvE machine.

Go fire/rad - Use radiation infection, enervation field, hot feet, fire cages on big mobs. This will work from lvl 10 and is insane AoE damage early on. Kin doesnt have the same option early on, and it can be tough to solo till later lvls.

Nice. Lots and lots of chaos

Get Deceive. Don't make the mistake I did and skip it, its wonderful.

Oooh yes, I'll be getting decive, I have confuse on my Mind controller and it has saved my [censored] on many occasions...

I have a Lv 28 Earth/Storm controller.......would thoroughly recommend one for sheer awesome presence, yes stone cages can make fighting in a corridor a pretty crowded situation, but the sheer range and inventiveness of the powers and animations along with some pretty awesome powers Lv30+ onwards makes this my choice for sheer controlling power.I have an illusion/kinetic controller too and that also has provides some interesting power combinations.

just like to add another tick in the box for earth! always some kind of control ready to be thrown down and imo looks hella cool!
i went rad for backstory purposes and its works well as everything is locked down holding a group at arms length while they go all green and weak at the knees. more a team build tho than a solo.
oh and a side not quite a few controls can be placed out of line of sight (quicksand,earthquake,volc gasses) can be a handy tactic i consider myself a stalkroller!

Illu/Storm? Ooooh yes! I have a level 42 Illu/Storm and I must say it is a lot of fun to play... if you like chaos that is.
Sometimes it might feel a little bit funny, because you might get the impression that you don´t contribute enough to the team doing "emotes" all day... but then you look around and see all those illusions and stormy thingies and all is well.

well frankie, u know what i think........ fire/storm

Illu - Go empathy or rad
