Howling Twilight has a nice auto-hit -regen debuff

And another 50 Mind/Kin but from Virtue. My Mind/Kin took so long to level I've been hesitant to try another and I have been enjoying the luxury of having pets on my dark and illusion controllers.

Your post is pretty dead on... From what I remember, brutes tanked day one CoV but they were squishier than a tanker so we usually tried to get two in a group or a MM to help split alpha. But MM's complained when their pets got smashed so they kind of sucked until later levels since it was slow summoning for each group. I ran a Mind/Energy Dom and mostly took down bosses and Lieuts, played more like a scrapper/blapper . I remember there weren't a lot of Dominators, for some reason, and in my 30's and 40's would get tells from people who hadn't even grouped with one before.

Anyone running team stealth (Dark/Storm/Cold)

I use Fire Breath and Aim but I'm going off my old Fire Blaster AOE build (Might be outdated). I have been popping AIM before going into Freezing Rain / RoF/ Thunderclap. With the -Def from rain and AIM Thunderclap seems to be landing okay.

Cold Domination / Fire Defender too

Recent Task Force with people freaking out right before we started thinking we were going to wipe because of no tanks or brutes. I'm sitting on an Earth/Time controller and there were three other controllers in the group. We obliterated the first few fights and all the voices stopped from then on. I'm guessing there are just a lot of newer players who haven't quite caught on yet. Hell, I was happy to get a full group much less one of my picking back on live. Low pop was a killer.

My son was about that age when he started but it was back on live. He was the one that actually told me about Homecoming and the CoH resurrection. He's currently a level 50 Arachnos Soldier so, just keep that in mind you could be starting a villain out.

Running a Storm/Fire I use the Freezing Rain & Rain of Fire combo then lay into them with Fireball and Firebreath. If that sounds like fun go with Fire.

My mind controller used all his powers too. That doesn't stop mind control from being weak. I guess we could give FF a pet maybe it will fix it.

I use all my forcefield powers with the exception of detention field and that only comes out when soloing. If other forcefield defenders are only using three of their powers, that might be a clue as to why they're low on the defender list.

Had a FF and a D3 on live and running up a FF now. I can't say things have changed.

Nice!

I'm pretty much in the same boat and currently level 12. Here's an upvote from me!

EQ1, Anarchy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes, EQ2, Guild Wars, WoW, Star Wars the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls Online there are a few others too. Oh and Wizard 101 with my son. I'm 49.

Cocoon - Force Field Defender Bobcat - Stalker

Master Mind with dark or time secondary would give you some decent control/debuff/buff/heals plus a way to handle runners. Any controller combos work and are mostly about play style. If you're not certain I'd suggest either Fire/Rad or ill/rad. There are a few defender sets that would work too don't underestimate the dark/dark (Pseudo controller) and Kinetic/anything would be good also.

Having a blast! Thanks for asking!

I have been running Earth/Time. Lot's of fun with the added lockdowns/slows but it's a teaming build.

Isn't Positron 1 solable depending on AT and prep?

The wail doesn't have to be sonic it could be psychic. They're supposed to be clairvoyant also in predicting deaths so, psychic is inline. Being they are graveyard related go with Dark as a secondary (Controller - Mind/Dark).

Looking for a Supergroup that active weekends and evening (8pm) Pacific time.

Illusion/Kinetic It's been years since I played one but they could solo and put up some decent damage. With some nice utility and a variety of controls (Single/Group).

Right on. Just got set back up and trying to get my bearing a little controller chat would be nice to help me refresh a few things I'm sure.
