A few weeks ago I had a long post on it with experienced players helping me out abit. The horrible thing about stormies is the endurance consumption so that was a bit important to me. As well as getting usefulness out of the powers i wanted them a bit often. Read it all and do what ya will with anyone elses additional advice. The Link has an extra Link to Chi's build but that looks very end heavy in comparison to mine from a numbers perspective. I did go into the numbers of what each power does before choosing my slotting, taking into acount a large part of a stormies time can be spent positioning some end recovery is made but i wanted that to be good.
Here for some peoples advice already given. Save them repeating.
For an in depth look at the numbers for yourself go here
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
lack of O2 boost and Gale instead (as well as Aim) makes me think Solo build.
A storm/elec is perfectly soloable, Ive found it even more survivable in the 30s than a nrg/nrg blaster.
Its main drawback however is that its very endheavy for this, so I get a bit worried about how late (level 26) stamina is put in (unless this is a respec build) and the lack of end redux in attacks.
Im guessing leadership powers are there to add some dps. More toggles on a stormer? and pre-stamina?
What I did instead was add Zapp and put 1-2 interrupt modifiers so it can be used more than just a opener.
another tip I have is that instead of Gale to push back enemies that come into melee range is to get Air superiority if youre already getting Fly. Put it on auto-attack and any enemy that tries to get you in melee will be delayed enough time for you to back off, hold him with Tesla, pushed back by Hurricane or taken out with attack option of your choice.
And it aggravates the tanker less by having a attack that dont get the enemies out of his taunt aura. Or away from the Snow storm patch you just laid out.
