What to try?

So it's been awhile since I've tried a dom. I had a Plant/NRG dom back in the day and took her to around 44 before deciding to delete for reasons of my own. I'm interested in trying a new dom but I have questions on what to try. I don't want to accidently pick some bad/meh combination. Heres the combos I was looking at.

Mind/NRG (Most interested in this. Don't know much about how well they combo.)
Elec/NRG
Elec/Fire
Mind/Fire
Mind/Elec
Elec/Psi

I'm just curious of basic opinions on any of these combos.

You can't lose with Mind/. Mind/Fire in particular is an extremely powerful combination. NRG got a significant buff and is alot better than it was before, but still pales in comparison to /Fire.

I've heard a number of times that people have been liking Elec/Psi alot, but in general I would say Elec Control is pretty meh. Long Activation ST Hold (which is pretty significant for Doms moreso than Trollers), a handful of power that are only partially affected by domination (chain powers) or completely not affected by domination (Conductive Aura, Gremlins), and the set as a whole is generally low damage and more focused on soft control rather than hard control which isn't so great for Doms.

I really enjoy my Elec/NRG. Hits like a truck and Elecs selection of quick recharging soft controls suits fast moving teams well.

I even like the Gremlins, they're a nice addition in terms of more soft control via Knockdown and spreading the damage about a bit more. I've found them better than Fly Trap for example. Of the 5 Domi/Controller pets I've experience of I'd rate them right in the middle, ahead of Phantasm and Fly Trap but not as useful as Imps or Singy.

Mind/NRG would be an excellent combo too, more ranged than Elec but with silly amounts of single target control. Seems to have a bit of a buzz around it at the mo as well on this forum.

I'm most interested in Mind/nrg or Mind/elec. Not entirely sure which to go with.

Mind/Elec is a nasty combo, has good ST and some good AOE damage. Also on the cheap side for perma-doming. I got one around 35 right now and always impressed with it.

Having a Mind/Elec i would suggest Mind/NRG. Lack of ranged option in elec and garbage aoe isnt that fun.

Elec/Psi is fantastic fun. I would read my bit in that other guys Elec/Psi thread for some high level opinion on how it blooms tho. My Elec/Psi is my top char, beating out my stone/elec brute for fun by a large margin.
