Level 27 Storm. I have 3 other /storm builds. All of them except for one is higher level. The one below is level 26. The highest one is 50. The level 50 did the 30 Fir Blog mission as the only controller. My teammates where chanting my character's name during that mission.

Level 29 TA/a. I have a level 19 Plant/ta as well.

I'm still waiting to be kicked due to power sets. FYI, the first couple of years I ran A LOT of teams before I got bitten by the soloing bug. It's hard to be kicked when you have the star. I have now moved back to doing teams, but rarely lead these days.

I actually don't use Hurricane due to it interfering with mobs killing each other via Seeds and I find Hurricane in general a pain in the rear to deal with. My eventual build where I respec into a build that gets the Fitness pool inherit might add it in there, but I don't plan on using it much.

Nope.

No. Why not? Both have damage auras which are the best way to pump out AoE damage. A SS/fire brute has two ways to boost it's damage outside of fury. A Fire/kin can cap it's damage and then containment kicks in which ignores the damage cap. Outside of /kin for controllers, /storm will be one of the best for pumping out additional damage. You'll need damage procs to help boost your damage output, but in the end it will be rather good due to Seeds creating mitigation and additional passive offense. Will it fit your idea of a build that will work good for helping out in farms? Very much so. I have a level 37 Plant/storm myself and it's been rather fun so far.

+1. You don't even have the most basic bread and butter control yet. You don't have the go to source of damage/control. You don't have your Imps and a number of people believe they make the set. /rad starts out awesome early enough to where I can see that being good to start, but Fire is as late of a blooming set as you'll find. Even if you get something like Hot Feet at 8, it needs time to slot out and SOs to really get it's end cost under control. You can debate it all you want and it's subjective as hell, but Fire/rad is a lock for the 2nd best controller build in the game and you can talk me into it being #1 depending on the situation.

Rad has that much more as an issue. Dark has Fearsome Stare and Fluffy.

First this, Kin/dark can go Staminaless so I would leave Stamina with one slotting. Health slotting is so marginal that I would just leave it at one slot as well. Note, slotting based on basic slotting as well. Once IO sets come into play, then that's different.

And now this.

Transfusion: 1-2 acc, 2 heal, 2 recharge. It's spammable at that point and the heal is more than enough. The end mod aspect is pretty much a joke on something that can get use out of it, ie Kin/elec. On a Kin/dark, it's not worth it.

Siphon Power: 1-2 acc, 0-3 recharge. It will always be useful due to AVs, but you don't need to go big with slotting.

Siphon Speed: 1-2, 3 recharge. You want this up as much as possible.

Speed Boost: 3 end mods. I can see using 2 end mods if you are hurting for slots and you put two common level 50 IOs in there.

IR: 1 jump, if you take it.

Transference: 1-2 acc, 2 end mod, 2-3 recharge.

Fulcrum: 2 acc, 3 recharge. You want that thing to hit.

Single target attacks get 1 acc, 3 damage, 1 end reduc, 1 recharge. Any other effect(tohit debuff, immob) isn't worth slotting.

AoEs get 2 acc, 3 damage, 1 end reduc, but you could sub in a recharge instead of end reduc based on how you handle end.

You really don't need Life Drain.

I fully understand taking the Dark epic for theme, but it benefits Kins the least. Dark Consumption, you have Transference. Soul Drain, you have Fulcrum.

If you are going to take Maneuvers, slot the defense aspect of it. And taking 3 powers from the Leadership pool and not taking Vengeance(3 slotted for def) makes me a sad panda.

EDIT: The recharge on attacks can be skipped if needed. Siphon Speed and Hasten can take care of recharge times.

My guess it wouldn't be for me. I love my Earth/storm, but it's not the build I'm thinking of if I were to farm.

Even Pajiba who lives to rip on movies couldn't do it. They said it was a decent enough film because it didn't try to be a great film. It if tried to be great, then it would have sucked, and I'm perfectly fine with that. It just doesn't mean I'm going out to a theater and spending even matinee money on it. Review

I don't think Cera is loved that much either, but Scott Pilgrim got good reviews. While the trailers have looked good, there was one clip of the film that I really didn't like where they showed a fight scene and they literally highlighted certain objects just to make sure you saw them.
