I'm leaning heavily towards going with ill/cold right now. It's got a lot of -res and -regen debuffs it can stack. Quick question regarding the LotG recharge proc, can I use the ice shields in /cold as mules for them and get the recharge procs without using the shields if I'm playing solo?

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll take a look into TA, cold, and poison to try out something different from /dark. I know that /rad works really well for this, but I have just never liked playing the set since before CoH shut down.

Hello everyone. To preface, I just recently discovered that CoH is back up and got back into the game while also realizing there are quite a few new sets and combinations allowed along with several changes. Before the game shut down, I had a illusion/dark controller that I built with the concept of soloing GMs/AVs and I would like to replicate that concept. With additional pets from the incarnate system, I was actually able to solo the Kraken in IP along with all the tentacles. It took quite a bit of time, but it was a fun challenge to accomplish. With all of that said, I'm wondering what secondary pairing would work best to build for the same goal and if any of the new secondary options can improve on what I was able to do with /dark. I would like to avoid using /rad. Ideally, the secondary set would provide a good amount of survivability while having enough debuffs to be able to wear down GMs and AVs solo.
