Returning Player has controller questions

[Mansome]

Hi all,

 

The last time I seriously played controllers was back before when pets could be effected by recharge. I stopped playing them shortly after they changed the pets not to accept recharge. What I wanted to know is it still the case? If so what are some non */kin secondaries that would go good with Ice or Earth control to get the most out of the pet damage. I know both of these pets had issues in the past with not switch attacks and using recharge helped with that issue.

 

I was thinking about storm summoning but I don't think I can get the recharge of lightning storm to be an every spawn power which is what I would love to see. I did see that Pain Domination is available to controllers now. Would this be good enough to buff the pet damage for end game content?
