If that's what you are going for, I suggest fire/ instead of ice/. Fire will kill MUCH faster, and IMO has better control as well (especially with 2 of them) because it can stun, and Ice cannot, and that gives a psuedo hold every group. |

And damage procs in your AOE toggles will continually sandblast your enemies in a way that will make even /Fire brutes jealous.

And as you said, with 2 RI and EF going, nothing is going to kill you outside of AVs due to their debuff resistance.

Agreed, the double ice/rad combo does seem pretty solid and secure, but personally I'd like some more damage as well. Wading through regular mobs it wouldn't be one of the quickest combos for sure.|

Additionally, but I guess that may be just personal preference, outside of some special exceptions I prefer not to go with 2 of the same sets in a duo, not even to mention doing exactly that... twice - for both primary and secondary sets.

Since you speak of putting damage procs in your AoE toggles... sleep is kinda useless in the mob you're fighting anyway?
And I don't know the whole ice set for controllers off the top of my head, but am I right in thinking those damage procs would be your only real form of AoE damage output?
Cause again... I think that would be way too slow for my liking (yes, yes, I am taking into account rad debuffs), unless I'm missing something here.

Best duo?
One word....Two crabs..
Oh wait, thats two words....but that doesn't matter cause your enemies won't have time to say two words cause they'll be face down.
Double dominator I believe is an extremely powerful combo. I have two friends that I will duo with seperately. I am an earth/fire Dom and they both play plant/fire doms. There is very little content that lasts more than a few seconds against both of us.

1 mob? Level offset? Multiplier?
Cause I could be wrong, but I'd think doms, even fire doms, would be rather slow on the killing side of things...
