Can someone build me a fun Dark/Dark build?

I've decided that I want to respec my dark/dark corr. that I haven't played in years.

I gave up on the alt and it's been collecting dust ever since it hit 50. Can someone give me an IO build, nothing crazy like purples, that might renew my interest in it?

You pick the powers and IO's and I'll give it a whirl

ty in advance (hopefully)

Okay here's a quick one I threw together to get things started. See what you think and we can go from there.

Edit: 35% defense to Ranged/Energy/Negative. So softcapped against those when using either Fearsome Stare or Darkest Night against anything not an AV. Some decent resistances too. Overall fairly survivable with decent recharge. I don't know if it fits your budget or not.

Ty kindly. Will give it a shot. I can afford it, from the looks of it. For the things like Positron's blast that are lvl 33 IO's, should I just go for the 50's? I've got a ton of them sitting in storage.

I'll just step forward and say it: please, do not overlook Howling Twilight. Max its recharge and use it everytime it's up. It is so much more than a rez power:

* Mag 2 stun
* Recharge debuff (50%)
* Slow
* -500% Regen
* And I could be wrong but it also has a fear component

So, by all means max its recharge. Also, when paired with Dark Pit you can stun everything short of an EB.

PS: Did I mention it is auto-hit?

Personal preference there. I usually pick 33 because it allows set bonuses while exemplared down to level 30, while still giving decent enhancement values. If you don't exemplar or don't care about keeping your bonuses then 50s will give you better enhancement values.

For my LotG +recharge IOs I usually use level 27 or 28 unless I really need the enhancement from the defense portion of the IO. That way even if other aspects of my build disappear when exemplared below 30, I still keep some of my recharge bonus down to 25.

Exemplaring is usually on my mind when I put together a build, from the IOs I choose to the order of the power picks. Not everyone prioritizes that the same way, and some people simply never exemplar. It's one of the many reasons it's difficult to put together a build for someone I don't know.
