The only way you'll get -kb paired with tornado, redside, is to roll an MM.

I also noticed that /storm seems to be more solo oriented while /cold is more team oriented. Am I right?

Um. Cold is definitively more team oriented, since you can't use 1/3 of its powers on yourself. Storm is very, very solo friendly, but is also very team friendly. The only power I hesitate to pull out in team situations is Tornado (it's actually fantastic against AV's/Hero's (LR farms!) and GM's as long as you clear the rest of the spawn!) but I use the rest regularly.
Storm can be employed with a lot of skill, or it can be a disaster. Cold is a little more friendly. No one really cares if you forget to heat loss or benumb on most large teams, as long as you drop sleet and keep shields and your fog up they'll be happy.
Hurricane+corner= -kb (sorta)
Generally speaking though the effort to herd everything into a corner is greater than if you'd just killed everything without doing that. Sometimes you luck into it, but not always.
Cold is much more active in buffing and whatnot I'd think. Storm has one Toggle that you run all the time for buffing (Steamy Mist), so teaming with Storm is pretty low maintenance in that regard.

2/8 != 1/3, Frostworks isn't worth snot to be even considered, it's as pointless as Repel, Sonic Repulsion, and Repulsion Field. Anyway, the other 6/8th of the set more than makes up such powers, something Sonic and Thermal do not when you look at those sets overall.
Hi, I'm rather new to the forums, long time lurker but this is my first time really saying anything.
So I was fooling around in Mid's and noticed the damage numbers on ignite and tornado and I couldn't help but say wow. Then I got to wondering and noticing if:
1. Do any of the PPPs immobs have a -kb? If so, Freezing Rain + PPP immob + Ignite + Tornado + Full Auto = a possible dump truck of damage on several folks.
2. Has anyone tried the above idea of an AR/Storm? How about an AR/Cold Domination? Sleet + Ignite + Full Auto with Heat Loss in their could be a pretty beastly combo as well.
