Hello all!
I've been looking thru the boards, but haven't seen this combination discussed really. Looking at the powersets, I'm thinking they look like they'd be good together.
Anyone tried this/ have any opinions about it?
Any suggestions for powers to take or not take in these sets (especially together), or ideas about Pools or Anscillary powers?
Thanks very much for the input!

As always it depends on what you plan to do.
Solo? Team? Single target focus? AoE focus?
Narrowing the parameters down is always helpful.

I've got one in the 40's.
Its a very much DPS AoE build - you can pretty much spam cone damage round the clock with Howl, Shockwave and Psychic Scream, and run in for a quick Psychic shockwave or Drain Psyche while everyone's fallen over from Shockwave.
I didn't take Shout or Mind Probe, so the burst damage isnt great.
The long animations on some of the cones also lead to annoying rooting when Im trying to position myself for the next cone.
So its not the best Blaster I've ever made, but does what I set out to do - ie spam cone damage. I'd give it 2 or 3 stars out of 5.
Pick up static discharge as your 3rd cone attack for your chain, you'll find it MUCH better drmike2000.
Also, while because they are a little slow it feels like your not doing so much sometimes, but i assure you it is. Howls -resistance is boosting your psy scream/static discharge, in addition to everyone else on the team's damage. Turning it into one of the most damaging aoe blasters to make.

Good point Milady's Night! At 11:00 I just didn't think of it! Anyway, I'm primarily going to be duoing with a Storm/ Electric Defender (who's new to Storm - wheeee!), and probably soloing occassionally. We may team with others sometimes, but I think that'll be rarer. Single target vs. aoe, I think the Stormie Defender's going to neccesitate (sp?) me going aoe whether I wanted to or not! I guess I don't mind that at all if I can pull it off!
Windenergy21 - I love guides, especially helpful ones likes your seems! I think you've provided most of the info I was looking for - thank you very much! (Im printing it out right now!)
And DrMike2000 thank you for your input as well! Its nice to get varied opinions and takes on these things!
Thinking of Travel powers I think I'm leaning towards Flight (I named my toon Psyhawk and gave him wings...!) And when I was looking at the Ancillary's, Electric just seemed to jump out at me, so I was glad to see you thought that worked so well Windenergy21!
Thanks for the input folks!
If I knew I'd be mostly duoing with an electric blast honestly I'd go with elec/MM. With two drainers it actually gets impressive, if you coordinate. Sonic's sleep probably won't do you much good either with a storm.
But then I've never been a big fan of sonic blast anyway. As mentioned, too many slow animations. Always feels slow and kludgy to me.

I did consider that, but Nemesis 12, the Nemesis from the 37th Century, just HAD to have a Personal Force Field
Well if thematically he is deviating to have abilities such as screaming really loud, and having psychic mental powers, i think we could thematically do away with personal force field :P.
Also Cosmic, your friend may be new to storm now, but disregarding PLing by the mid 20s should have a decent grip on how the knockback and repel is going to be working.
Between the stormy and you with shockwave you should be able to position mobs into, and keep them in corners for their doom rather effectively.
