Dark/Cold

[Narninian5]

Hey there fellow Heroes, I could use some advice.

On live, I never made it past ~30 or so and I never saw a lot of of the powersets including the Dark controller set and the cold domination set.

I really like the set of powers from Dark Control, and especially like the pretty heft -to hit combined with the +def from cold.

One thing I don't have a deep understanding of is what to prioritize with sets.

I just picked stuff that generally looked good and tried to get good recharge and typed defense, hoping that the -res from cold debuffs combined with near perma-pets from haunt/taruntula/dog along with attack slotted hold and aoe root would help me be an overall strong character.

 

I'd appreciate any feedback on major things Im missing or could change.

Thanks!
