ice/dark help

[softpastelbro]

Hi friends -- I had a pretty deep love for ice control back on live. I made an ice/dark controller understanding that my damage is going to be low, but I have a character concept that works. 

If anyone is feeling charitable, could you share a build suggestion? Anything that would help me maximize the value out of admittedly likely a low-damage pairing. Thanks in advance.

I can show you my current build but have low expectations. Its near 0 damage, hasn't been respecced for page 5 and was built on a theme. That theme was to use Jack as my main source of dps/tank and its laughable. On the other hand its tons of fun in teams. I just wander around, toss spirit ward and enflame on Jack and do whatever with the rest of the powers. Youre kind of godly on /dark trollers thanks to fade/soul absorb/twilight/howling/shadowfall. Arctic Air is just icing on the cake so to speak.

Thank you so much! Yes I should have clarified that I don’t intend to solo ever, I only plan on playing in groups.
