Best Duo blue side for 1-50 content?

On autofollow? Hmm.
Well, I'd likely run something like a Stone/SS-or-DB Tanker & a Fire/Kin controller. I guess.
If I want to have more fun I would likely have a Spines/Fire Scrapper & a Kin/Archery Defender.
I think the second character should probably be a Fire/Rad controller. In low levels, you could put that one on auto heal, with an occasional AM. Hot Feet comes available at level 8. In upper levels, Hot Feet+Choking Cloud+Fire Imps will kill stuff with no attention at all, assuming the primary character can get the aggro.
For the primary? Something with a strong aggro aura. Maybe a Invuln/Fire tank. Fire does good AoE damage and Invuln has high survivability with a strong aggro aura. Or maybe an Ice/Fire, but I think that Invuln has more survivability.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
Guide Links: Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control
Lots of interesting ideas pop into my head. I think Local_Man has the right idea. Fire/Rad. Heck more amusing might be two Fire/Rad controllers. If you run the fire/rad the second troller could be Fire/Sonic. Heh, two fire sonics.
Actually, I would go with a fire/fire tank, shield/fire tank, fire/shield scrapper or spines/electric Scrapper with a Force Field, Sonic or traps defender.
Lots of good combos out there. 
Probably best to find two fun characters you like to play.
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

With the Shield/X Tank or X/Shield scrapper, I'd do Emp over FF. FF will cap shield, but emp would let you rock the aura until you get Fort. Then fort on auto would cap shield with the damage as a bonus. And after shield caps defense on it's own (with set bonuses), you can switch to AB on auto and X/shield will start killing crazy fast. If you're willing to press a button occasionally, leave fort on auto and hit AB when it comes up.|

Sonic or Traps might still be better, but I can't think of a reason to use FF over emp with shield. Maybe use the Dispersion Bubble to cap defense and put an attack on auto?
FF works a lot better if you've got Fire/Fire on the tank.

Force Field has a much better chance of survival from AoE splash. Yes, emp buffs are very nice but the request was autofollow. Cold, Storm and Dark also work too. Sonic has Disruption Field which is -30% res AoE on Ally which would be a nice damage buff. Then set sonic siphon on Auto for another -30% and should be easy to stack it up to -90% for a total of -120% on a target. Very nice for taking down AVs. The sonic defender can take tough and have enough damage resistance to surive AoE splash.|

There are many combos that stack well. I think "best" would be two fun characters to run outside of the 2 box duo as well.

I run a Dark/dark scrapper with a Fire/Kin no trouble with aggro. But The AoE aggro is a must for the main tank/scrapper.

Hey All,
If you were going to construct a team to go from 1-50 blue side what two AT's would you create.
Keeping in mind that the second toon is mostly on autofollow.
Thanks!
