Fire/Storm Build

HI, Firstly thanks to okton for recruiting my new alt to the overlords. As a noob controller thought it would be good idea to post a build and get some advice.
Love my speed hence superspeed and useful with steamy mist. Have tried to avoid stormy kb (have to choose gale ) but couldn't resist lightening storm with imps lol. Would like the build to be PvE at present but with some ability to perform if entering a pvp area.
Cheers DD

The Storm side of things looks good.

Just a few tweaks =

1 - Acc and Dam don't make a whole lot of difference to Freezing Rain, better to slot 3x recharges.

2 - For Lightning Storm try 3x damage, 1x end reduction and 2x recharges so it's up as much as possible.

3 - As to not wanting knockback, your Firecages have a rooting element to them which means knockback from the Lightning Storm is negligable. Also, I've noticed you have Hover... sometimes it's useful to Hover a bit above the mob so that the Lightning Storm's stikes downwards (ie KnockDOWN).

Hope this has been helpful.

Welcome to the Overlords

From the Fire side, I would suggest some small changes:

- Fire cages: I slot this 1/2 acc and 1 endred. The immob is not that useful in my opinion since I use it mainly to set up containment. In any case, probably not worth 6 slots.
- Flashfire/Char/Cinders: I slot them all 2 acc 2 rechg 2 hold/disorient. The end drain is not that bad since they take a while to recharge anyway.
- Fire imps probably don't need 2 acc, especially with Tactics.
- Fireball: might want to add in a recharge. This is your main attack after 41.

Hope some of this helps!

Cheers Fro/Cheers Okt.

Just in terms of slotting i may have been overzealous with the end reds but I am just aware that fire/storm is a end hungry pairing. Even with stamina I am slightly worried about leadership toggles combined with the normal end requirements.I will have no end recovery as /kin would for example .
As you guessed okt have stuck in leadership to decrease misses. In PvE I would drop down to 1 acc but if I want to take this toon into pvp areas won't I still require 2 or can I get away with it?

Also anyone think I should bring in hover earlier or that I can get away with it.

Given the powersets and your chosen pools, this is what I came up with.

(I would have Fly as my travel power with Hasten somewhere in the late twenties I think)

Having hasten post stamina with this build does make sense, and getting above the mob now I have played these sets a few more lvls (lvl 7 mega woot lol)definately makes sense-I think I will change to hover at 8 and fly at 14.
