Cold allows you to gather up a couple mobs, maybe more if your allies are helpful enough, and drop the total damage resistance by -60% for most of them, and you trigger off your rain attacks, youv just wiped alot of baddies.
Not alot stands upto 700 - 1100 AoE Damage, even at +4 (More damage if its a Corr), and if you nail 8 baddies with Heat Loss, youv negated the -Recovery from Blizzard, 9 and your sitting pretty.Which would be easy to do if your Allies assist you with herding.
Or make a Fire/Fire Blaster, or a Storm/Fire Corr, or a Fire/Rad Controller, or a Fire/Earth Dom.The list is huge if you have Allies.

Highest damage out of those 3 toons in my humble opinion, would be the fire/kin coz of Fulcrum Shift. 'nuff said.

The list of alts I gave you were the ones I already have at 50. I'm looking for a new character to farm with my Elec/Shield, or my Fire/Kin, or my SS/SD brute. |

And Fire_Minded, Cold/Ice corrupter sounds good.
Any other options?

50- Fire Kinnnnn (Fire/Kin Controller)
50- Shielded Deity (Elec/Shield Scrapper)
50- Doomaster (Invuln/Fire Tanker)
Villains
50- Farm (SS/SD Brute)
oh! So are you saying that you are a dual-boxer and want to know what new toon to level up?
If so, then i would suggest a fire/sonic troller. moar imps, moar hawt feet, moar res, auto follow and auto fire cages. 'nuff said.
If I were making one to complement one of the toons listed, I would make either a thermal or sonic buffer. The shielders already have the benefit of notable defense, and the added resistance from sonic or therm buffs would make them very sturdy. That buffer would be good with all three, but I would consider a pocket kin just to keep the ss/sd juiced as that build can get rather thirsty at times.
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.
"You're right...I forgot...being constantly at or the near the damage cap is a big turn off. Definitely not worth it."

Should I still do a Fire/Sonic controller even if there's already Sonic, Force Field, and Painbringer buffers on the map (I put allies in the AE mish)?

Best part about sonic is the AoE resistance debuffs. I suggest you run with one firekin, and the other a spine/fire.

This. And not for the buffs but for Disruption Field. If you need buffs to stay up on a farm, you're doing it wrong.
