I've wondered about rolling a grav/storm for some time. I think you may have convinced me. My only problem is sorting my time between my fire/rad, mind/kin and ice/storm (I love them all). If i didnt have to work there wouldnt be a problem :/
Life is one big practical joke that we as the human race have yet to see the punchline to. Once you work that out the rest is easy.
You should try Ill/storm after if you love it so much. Its very tank magery so the first step that you do is not a necessity. Throw in PA, let them take the alpha and then freezing rain them etc. To pull, snowstorm the group, hide and just before they get to you drop PA to intercept then Freezing Rain.
I've come across tanks who have felt as though they didnt want to much aggro, which is fine (the not fine bit is they would struggle to keep it anyway) but the ill/storm can see to some of the problems of huge groups and AVs.
Ice/Storm is another beaut in crowd control, you could just keep on going through different primaries. I dunno about Mind/Storm tho.
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.
Am gonna be trying Plant/Storm for a tanking troller (already have an illusion troller so not wanting the repeat)
I hope creepers work with that idea
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
My second 50 was a Grav/Storm troller - they are great fun to play.
A good combo I love is apply AoE immob, then freezing rain - then pick off the badies with grav distortion, lift and propel.
Add in wormhole if you want before the Aoe to get them all in a corner!

I love, I mean I really love my toon, and I'd like to know other Grav/Storm peoples thoughts?
The amount of fun I've had with this toon!! WOW and I'm even thinking of making a second one, My missus(who plays the game) is sick of me saying it.."I luuuuve this toon darling, did you see what I just did?".
I will now tell you why I love this toon and tell you how it works well without causing a big mess.
This build is a very messy build and tanks hate you if you get it wrong.
First tactic:
Ensure you have Steamy Mist on(Always switch between Steamy Mist and Hurricane depending on the situation)
Step 1: Wait for the tank to go in
Step 2: Use AOE Hold. Gravity Distortion Field, this will hold most of the foes around the tank.
Step 3: Use Immob hold. Crushing Field, This will immobilise all the group ensuring the few left over are held.
Step 4: Use TP foe. Wormhole, This Teleports all the foes and stuns the rest of the pack who are still able to attack.
Step 5: Use Freezing Rain, this will knockback any of the foes left standing and does Damage over time.
Step 6: Spawn Singularity right in the middle of the remaining bad guys that have been Held, Knocked back, Tp'ed, Stunned, and Immobilised, for another dose of holds, knockbacks, etc....
All the above takes 8 seconds to do and at the end the tank says things like look at me, me take no damage me good!(not knowing that nothing could attack him anyway because you have just owned the group hehehehe)
another tactic:
And I think this works well for small groups,
Put on Hurricane.
Gravity Distortion Field,
Wormhole into a corner,
Freezing rain,
Crushing Field,
Singularity,
Lightning Storm,
Tornado.
If you do all these in order and stay close in the corner with the group you holding them there(With Hurricane) the whole group will die in seconds.
I had a scrapper last night comment on my corner issues and saying it was not fair that I do this as he could not kill anything. well funny!!!
Guys if you are looking for a FUN build, this is it,
There is always a but... the first few levels can be hard and you only start to feel the benefits after you get stamina. So the first 20 lvls, not bad!!!!!
