I have been slowly working on my Ice Control/Dark Affinity Controller, something I do not see on the forums, anywhere it seems. I love it to this point, though I find right now around level 31 that I have extreme problems with endurance. Later on as I get everything filled with enhancements I think this will be less of a problem. I am just looking for suggestions as to what may make this better or more interesting of a build. I play for fun primarily and I love to team and solo, really I feel like I will hit a better stride come level 32 and then 38 but it is slow going at the moment.

This build is based off my Elec/Dark build template. Another poster said in my thread that it's overkill, but I don't see it that way. I find that layering resist shields on top of the -to hit and the defense I stacked up makes for a very sturdy toon that can be played very, very aggressively. If you would consider going villain side you can get a res shield, an aoe to help with containment damage and another pet.
