Ill/Storm
Consider slotting the KB proc that gives increased recharge speed, it may only be for a few seconds, and have a low trigger rate, but since AM and PA have long recharges and durations, it could help you pull them back just in time.
my Ill/storm as it slotted in Gale.
I see your point Jamie, I just didn't want to lose DPS by spamming Gale. This is the build I'm considering (still needs some tweaking):

I could drop Snow Storm and go for Superior Invisibility so I could splat another LotG proc, but the return would be minimum.

Think you should consider swapping ill for fire and storm (*spit*) for rad. Think you might have the makings of a good toon then.
Wouldn't the KB proc work well in Hurricane to achieve Perma PA?
Hurricane is a must have on mine anyway.
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.
Adapting your build this is the best that I could do; personally I wouldn't - too much compromise for my liking.
According to Mids it gets PA to 0.1 of a second downtime.

Few notes:
Why not take ice storm? It's like the whole reason to take ice mastery 5 slot it with positrons blast for 6.25% recharge. You can use the progression hibernate->frozen armour->ice storm to get to it.
Why put 6 slots into tornado? Just 4 slot it with expedient reinforcement for the recharge and leave it, it doesn't need a damage boost, and with all the global recharge it sure won't need more slotted.
Same goes for Mr. Phant. 4 slot with expedient reinforcement and leave it.
I know pvp sets aren't on the builder (for some reason?) but some of them give recharge benefits >in PvE<. Such sets include the hold pvp set and the healing pvp set. Both probably about as expensive as a non-damage purple IO, but still the benefit is great. Throw out doctors wounds and put in panacea. Ditch the horrible setup you have in blind at the moment, and just 5 slot is with some gladiators net.
That's not the OP's build its an adaption that I made to get perma PA - as you said it has too much compromise to be a viable build - IMO anyway.

I know - OP didn't take ice storm either. No-one did :P
OK, couldn't remember.
I agree on your comments though; my Ill/Storm is currently at L42 - I'll be taking all but Ice Blast.

My stormy just hit L40 so I'm starting to plan the final build. The goal is having Perma PA while not screwing up my key powers and staying away from the damage purples. The closest I've came up with was perma hasten and PA 2secs short of perma.
I haven't saved the build, so I shall post it when I do it again.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. The only restriction is damage purples. Other than that, it's fine.
Cheers.
