    Thanks for all the replies.
    Eventually, I went for a Storm Ice Defender. Seems to work out just fine And I can imagine that it probably deals more damage than the Controller/Controller combo, now that I think of it.. And now that I know the Vigilance bonus

    My suggestion would be to go ahead with the storm/ice defender. Some of the most recent changes to Vigilance allow a nice +damage bonus that reduces with the number of teammates you have. Since you mentioned that you will likely just duo with you grav control friend, you will probably still benefit from the new buff.
    Thanks for making me aware of the new Vigilance buff/change! Definatly sounds a lot more intresting to our two man team.. Leaning more towards a defender role now.

    Hi!

    I recently started playing CoH/CoV with a friend of mine who's playing a Controller with Gravity Control and Force Field.

    I always wanted a Storm Summoning type after I saw it being summoned in the starting area for CoV.. However, I'm having a hard time deciding between a Controller myself, or a Defender type.

    Since I'll be playing with another controller, will it be redundant with two? I love the idea of two pets (Jack Frost and Lightning Storm), and I also like that we both benefit from Containment..

    On the other hand, a Defender get Vigilance with it's endurance reduction, BUT it seems to depend quite a lot on the # of teammates, and since we will almost always duo (only two), I don't know how much impact that endurance reduction really does?

    Basically, is a Controller + Controller over the top? And might Controller + Defender be a better option? I'm leaning more to the Controller part myself, but I thought I'd hear from you first..
