Storm Summoning and sets bonus

hey there ^^

My ice/storm controller would like to know something about freezing rain, storm summoning and tornado.
Im not sure about what kind of enhancements set are available on these powers.
Tornado, for example: its described as PBAoE DMG power, but as summon power too so... is it slottable with pet damage sets or PBAoE sets? or both?
Same thing for freezing rain and storm summoning.... im not sure if sets consider them pets or PBAoE/AoE powers!

Tornado should be PBAoE only. Freezing rain is AoE. And I have no idea of what do you mean with "Storm Summoning".. That's the name of your primary set.

Dawn is probably talking about Lightning Storm which accepts ranged AoE damage sets iirc. None of your powers is considered a pet. Storm has multiple pseudo-pets, but not a single one of them is a "real" pet and therefore pet damage sets are no option.




If it has
eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Freezing Rain takes Ranged AOE & Slow set as well I think. Technically you could slot 2 damage PROCs in it....

Snow Storm is Slow too. Tornado is PBAOE, Lightning Storm is Ranged AOE, Thunderclap takes Stuns, Steamy Mist takes Resistance & Defense ones (Defense bonus is pants but useful for set bonuses maybe), O2 Boost takes healing.

The Defense bonus is about 3.7%, Resistance is much higher.

The hard figures are in the Illusion/Storm guide in my sig (shameless plug )

Karma defensive set.

http://paragonwiki.com/Invention_Ori...hancement_Sets for a handy-dandy list of them all.

Going on it I'd slot single slot this Karma IO and Luck of the Gamblers Recharge one in Steamy mist along with 3 or 4 End/Res IOs from the various Dmg resist sets.

You could slot the KB protection from Karma or the one from Steadfast Protection into Steamy mist, or even have both.


I really should do something about this signature.

 

Posted

Ooh, thats better actually since you can put the End/Res from Steadfast in too and get a 1.5% Recovery bonus too.

yeh i checked this out last night have got space for one or the other as soon as i sell my arm and a leg
Will i need both to give me as good KB protection as acro?

I wouldn't call 3.75% defense "pants", it's definitely noticeable and against everything including psionics. I agree that the Resistance is a higher priority for slotting though.

It's not pants if you're a Tank or Scrapper layering it with other defenses alright, all those %s can add up

For a controller I generally find theres better things to be spending slots on though.

If you right click (or possibly left) on powers in the enhancement management screen it tells you what sets they take as well as which enhancments

Tornado is great. You just need to learn how to use it properly. If you're teaming with Ice/Fire/Earth troller, then all you have to do is send'em a tell and ask them to use AoE immobs as much as they can (-kb will do wonders paired with Tornado). If not, you just have to learn how to corner them correctly then release tornado. It will affect multiple foes without spreading them. It is also great for AVs and PvP.
