Each support set is rather unique in it's play style, all of them are great in capable hands.
Secondaries are less unique, but offer quite a variety of different things via secondaries.
Almost every combo is great in its own right.
50s: Bla- Arch/Mental Cont- Mind/FF, Earth/Cold, Ill/Therm, Earth/Rad Dominator- Plant/Psi, Elec/Earth Corr- Fire/Storm, Arch/Sonic, Rad/Kin, Beam/Sonic, Psi/Time Stalker- Elec/SR Def- Storm/Dark, Emp/Psi, Dark/Elec, FF/Arch, TA/Ice, TA/Elec, Kin/AR, Cold/DP, Traps/Psi Scrap- Fire/Shield Tanker- Dark/Mace, Ice/Kin Brute- Claws/WP, SS/Energy, BS/Elec
Any combo is great but plz give us an example of your playstyle and previous toons. I love defenders and have played just about every set to atleast 40 so feel free to pm me here or send an offline tell to @BL00DBATH yes they are zeroes.
All combos are good.
Rad/Sonic is flippin' amazing.
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
I think I may be in love with Traps/Assault Rifle...
Start with Dark Miasma. It'll give you a little taste of all defender sets, starting pretty early with "WOW debuffs" then at level 12 with "WOW soft control", with a little bit of "WOW I can tank" mixed in. It's got a heal, some hard control, a cone you have to aim, an anchor you have to avoid killing, a drop debuff patch that's best set up with a clickbind, and a pet, too. Master Dark Miasma, you'll have mastered the AT.
Until he plays a stormy and doesn't know what to do with Hurricane, but that's a whole other issue in itself.
But the statement is otherwise accurate. Dark Miasma allows you to play offensively, which is very fun. It's also quite powerful, and in the right hands, capable soloing just about any content in the game. I'd pair it up with Ice Blast, since you can toss out Tar Patch and drop two Rains and laugh with glee at the melting of your enemies. Ice also compliments the slow from Howling Twilight (which is *not* a rez, it's an AoE stun/slow/-regen that's autohit and just happens to rez any dead bodies near you). Ice also has 2 holds that can stack with Petrifying Gaze for some pretty good Single Target mitigation.

Dark Miasma for sure.
Traps is also very fun.
Whining about everything since 2006.
Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:
