Fire farm follower build.. ice/kin or fire/kin?

[Emprad]

I realized I was typing a lot so here's a fast version but it would help if you still read through please.. Whats better in a farm setting, rain of fire and inferno or ice storm and blizzard?

 

Now the long part.. By farm follower build I mean that I will be dual boxing, mainly controlling my brute and have the /kin targeting through me on follow, following me so I can click powers in that toons window when I need.

 

Now for the reason I'm posting this.. as a farm follower build I will not be very active on this toon, I will only be using the kin powers to buff my brute while throwing out a rain and a nuke on rech, maybe the highest ST attacks to take down straggler EBs faster, I don't know if i would be able to keep up with my brute and more than that on the corr anyway. I know fireball would automatically make fire better for burst aoe if i planned on using it but i dont think i would be while buffing and focusing on my brute and throwing out rain and nuke on rech. So considering I would only be using the rain and nuke, sometimes a ST for a straggler EB that didn't die from AoEs, which is better in a farm setting? Rain of fire and inferno and ice storm and blizzard? Thinking about how each power works and that it will be in a farm setting with huge groups of baddies that keep flooding in and can take a lot of sustained aoe to kill quick.

 

Inferno, instant burst with some DoT, scourge doesn't really affect this power much and its a instant burst instead of a sustained rain like blizzard that can stay there and keep damaging baddies that walk into it.

 

Or blizzard, the two things that makes blizzard win in my eyes for a farm setting is that it scourges and its a rain that stays around and keeps damaging/scourging/killing baddies whereas inferno in just a quick burst with some dot.

 

I know that if I was building a active /kin corr that fire/ would be the best for aoe just because of fireball but take fireball out of the equation and think about it being a farm follower that just buffs and uses rain and nuke.. Whats your opinions? Thank you! 

 

I'll edit this and post my build in like 30 mins for whoever wants to see it. Not at home right now to access mids..

I'd go with fire/kin unless you plan to do a lot of ITF/ASF 4* content then go ice/kin.  Regular 54 mobs die quick enough to make fire great.

No tfs or anything, like I said in my OP it's for a fire farm following build, nothing else. I was thinking also in a farm setting where there's tons of mobs bunched close together and they keep flooding in that the 15 sec duration of blizzard combined with scourge would be pretty deadly. It's easy to kill 1 mob fast but when you have 6 mobs closing in its a bit different.
