There was a really good storm guide on the boards before the wipe that i used for my earth/storm troller that i can't seem to find (or remember who did it duh)
but in general for storm i'd take -
snow storm = 2 end red
steamy mist = 2 end red
Freezing rain = 3 recharge 3 def debuff
hurricane = 3 end red 3 tohit debuff
thunder clap = 2 recharge (100% change to hit and also a 100/75/50 chance to detoggle in pvp)
lighting storm = 1 end red 2 acc and depending on PVP or PVE - PVP 3 end mods or PVE 3 damage (detoggle in PVP to)

Gale, have to take it...rarely use it, slot with 1 or 2 acc.
o2 boost, not overly important but nice to have for the odd heal, keep your pet alive and give especially tanks res to end drain when you're up against malta and carnies.
Snow Storm, 2 end reds (put a recharge in it if you have the slot.)
Steamy Mist, 2 end reds and 3 dmg res. It "only " gives res to fire, ice and nrg but if you pick the Fire Epic in the 40s you will have a really nice res to Fire and Ice (about 65%). Not the most common dmg types but still quite handy. Since you have SI/GI from ill this power may be redundant....up to you?
Freezing Rain, 3 recharges, (put end reds and def debuffs in there if you have the slots.)
Hurricane, 2 end reds, 3 tohit debuffs.
Thunder Clap, PbAoE, lousy acc, long animation, only consider for PvP if you have room for another power.
Tornado, normally I would suggest this but it doesn't synergize well with illusion 'cos of the sets lack of AoE immob with - knockback/down.
Lightning Storm, Should be 6 slotted with 3 dmg and the rest with recharges or end reds as you see fit. The end drain of this is too poor to slot for...use it for dmg/control/toggledropper instead

It also gives Res to Confuse, which in PvP can be a life saver.
Personally, the "must have" powers of the storm set are:
-Snow Storm
-Freezing Rain
-Hurricane
-Lightning Storm
Anything else can be nice to have depending on the situation.

Thats not really correct and i wouldn't want anyone miss-lead buy that information.
Thunderclap is a PBAOE disorient with 100% ACC but it will only stun minions and Lts.
I've used Thunderclap alot on my lvl 50 earth/storm because it works extremely well with stalagmites in the earth set hitting the ones stalag missed and have NEVER once missed with it.
Back before the board wipe there was a guide on earth/storm by Sim who says the same thing about thunderclap and i agree with him 100%.

my storm defender teams quite a lot with an earth controller and from what I've seen if we fire off thunderclap and stalagmites together we do stun the minions + Lts. On it's own though I only manage to stun minions.
am guessing since Chelsea is Earth/Storm the two powers are stacking...

quite possible... but hard to spot when the earth controller usually has the bosses held by the time I remember to move my camera so I'm not just looking at my little fluffy cloud...

Just started an Illu/Storm... and as usual when i start a new toon, i've tried to foresee what powers i would get, and its slots... and came across the problem that I like so many powers in both builds that i just run out of power slots. Any build or hint would be appreciated, mainly on the storm set, which i'm not familiar to yet
