Fire or Elec with Storm

I've been trying to find guides for both and I can't seem to do it.


Being a semi new player I've been trying out fire/storm got to 11 and I can't solo anything. I'm always out of endure.


So I was thinking of trying Elec but from what I heard it is more of a pvp thing and blows is one of the weakest damage sets.

We need more guides lol.

Ok I picked to go with Elec and storm. Seems alot more fun.


Ball Lighting seems to be a huge endure hog without really much reward. Is it worth it when it is slotted?

Storm is an End-heavy set; If you're using a lot of your Storm powers, you're going to end up sucking wind fairly often.

Ball Lightning is like every other Blast Targeted AoE attack in the game - it costs the same Endurance per-use as Fireball does, but the drawback is that it's more of a DoT then it is up-front damage. It also does a bit less damage, but has a useful secondary component (when you combine it with Short Circut later on Power Sink, anyway) and can keep you a fair bit safer.

It's a very well synergized pair, honestly, and the only reason Fire would do much better is because of all the raw damage (and the fact that Freezing Rain + Rain of Fire [or Ice Storm] is ridiculous). It's just fairly late blooming, and a bit of an end-monster. But anything you pair with Storm is going to have that problem.

So sticking with fire and storm would be easier? Gotcha... I'm having a tough time soloing things right now I'm hoping it gets better.
