My storm toon likes gale a lot.. sure its tricky in teams.. especially with a tanker. But it can keep this squishy alive solo.
When used good it can be used in teams.. blow runaways towards the tank... or blow away enemies from squishies when the tanker missed them.
Or just use it as emergency button when you re in danger youreself. It has a good acc... one which I enhanced too. Just in case. Enhanced it kan keep bosses down...

It doesn't have good Accuracy, it's 0.9 compared to 1 for most other attacks. It's better than AOE mezzes but worse than most other attacks.

I'd love to see gale and 02boost change places.

i don't, lowers the problem of having a never-used power.
Yep, that's the main drawback with Gale for me, the accuracy leaves much to be desired

I've been moaned at for using Gale.
My Words:
If everyone did their job properly I wouldn't of had to defend myself with it
Often I will use it to place mobs back within a area for a reason or to pack mobs in a corner but not to push mobs into more mobs and then more mobs.
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.
Oh... Lmao!
Guess that's why I usually avoid PuGs.
Still, I've avoided good sets before, because it so highly annoyed me to take poxy useless powers like Gale. The possibility of getting through the low levels real speedy nowadays have given me a chance to try some of'em out. It still annoys me at lvl 30+ though...
I might end up keepin some anyway due to the possibility of using the crappy powers for sets. With enough inf it's sometimes worth taking a power you don't like just because you can cram in another set of purples in your build!

At times I think I would like 02 and Gale to be switched, but then again I also think that 02 is a bit of sub-par heal compared to other sets. If 02 was an AoE power then definitely switch them, but for the moment leave the order as is.
Gale is definitely useful early on as it does help keep unwanted agro away but as Ive level'd up my Grav/Storm troller I found I had better tricks at my disposal to do this (e.g. hurricane, lightening storm, wormhole or just sit inside Sing for a while). But although I don't use it now it is a power I can leave and it frees up a couple of other slots in my already tight build!
And I find it far more fun going to atlas and sending foes flying using wormhole
