Ice/Fire Dom? Is that good for pvp?

I know that Fire has got to be by far the best secondary in PVP. But does it matter what the primary is? I chose Ice because of its slow effects, but I do see a lot of fire/fire doms. Just curious on what you guys think because pvping with my spines/regen scrapper does not seem to be going well even though I spent around 12 bil on it. Regardless, even if I fixed it, regens are still pretty much unbeatable. ESPECIALLY BRUTES!!!

Seriously we need to nerf the brute regens and maybe even the scraps a bit, i cannot stand it. I'm upset I even made that character lol.

If you guys don't mind, I do not have COH mid planner. If you could make me a build that is Ice/Fire Dom with perma dom and really damage based. I actually want to kill something in pvp for once.

Thanks

I actually explained this yesterday on Virtue in arena chat, so I thought I'd mention it here for you.

If you're taking /fire, the only time to use an attack -outside- of Flares/Fire Blast/Blaze is if you have [Dominate] from Mind Control or [Char] from Fire Control. Those two attacks are the only attacks that will increase your DPS.

For example, a plant/fire and an ice/fire will do the exact same DPS because they won't be using anything from their primary (Except for secondary effects, but never for DPS).

A plant/fire or Ice/fire should use their hold once every 15 seconds, but other than that they should only be using their fire attacks.

Really, anything is fine when paired with /Fire because of that. Only mind and fire can contribute to it, and even then only barely.


EDIT: [Lift] from Gravity with 2 procs is slightly better than Fire Blast when Embrace of Fire is down.
