Ice/thermal capability question

I am pretty new when it comes to controllers and I wanted to ask something. I am seeing many tales of controllers taking on AVs and GMs and winning with various powersets. I see very few ice controllers though and I am wondering if it is possible for an Ice/thermal controller to take one on and win? I can see how an Earth controller could with the Animate stone pet. It is a super tank. And the illusion controller for fairly obvious reasons. But can the ice troller do the same with Jack Frost backing him up?

Pretty much, no. The Ice pet is too fragile for serious tanking on the order of Earth Control.

Thanks. Better I find out now then later. I thought maybe thermal shield might help but I'm guessing no.

It will melt him and make Jack Frost a sad snowman.

It does help some. Ice/Thermal is pretty good at keeping the pet alive through most normal encounters. Epic Bosses are just too tough for him though. The Earth pet is a lot more survivable.
