Question about Procs....
Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage, slotted in Snow Storm...but can't say that i've ever seen it do anything.

I'd stick it in the Soldiers or Spec Ops; they spam their cone attacks more than you can spam Freezing Rain.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
I will second moving the Achilles and Lady Grey to your Mercs. If you're using sets, then I'd go with an accuracy, an acc/dam dual aspect, two damages, and those two procs. Specifics are up to you.
Impeded Swiftness, however, is fine right where it is. You can move it into Freezing Rain if you want, but since it only has a chance to go off every ten seconds either way, it's your call where it goes.
Speaking of Achilles, important thing to note: don't buy more than one, because it won't stack at all. And I mean not even from other players: if anybody on the team has one, that'll do the trick.
Also I should thank you, because I hadn't actually looked at the numbers on the Commando for getting him nice and proccy -- I was about to suggest another Lady Grey, then I looked at the numbers...I think Slug, Buckshot, and M30 add up to more chances for that to go off than Burst and Full Auto.
Awesome, i'll move Achilles and Lady Grey into the Mercs....would Soldier or Spec Ops be better suited, currently have soldiers slotted 2Acc 2Dam 2Heal (to help with O2 Boost) and the Spec Ops are just 2Acc 3Dam at the mo. I intend to move to sets once I reach about lvl37...currently lvl33.
Achillies into Soldiers (drop the healing enhancements and have 3 dam, 2 acc, 1 proc) and Lady Grey into the Spec Ops and you're good to go.
Oops. When I said "mercs" in my previous post, I meant "soldiers." I keep doing that, don't know why...
Anyway, I'd stick both procs in your Soldiers because three goons blazing away means more chances to proc than two goons, especially because the only Soldier attack that doesn't carry a chance to activate the procs is the grenade used by your medic.
If you can't swing acc, acc/dam, 2dam, the procs in your soldiers, then I'd go 2 acc, 2 dam, 2 procs. ED would eat into the effectiveness of that last damage proc anyway, and Lady Grey should make up for any damage loss you'd get otherwise.
Just played as my Merc/Storm for the first time in a couple of months and noticed that I have a couple of 'Chance' procs slotted in a few powers and was wondering if I should use a respec and move them into other powers, I have:
Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage, slotted in Snow Storm...but can't say that i've ever seen it do anything.
Achilles Heel: Chance for Resistance Debuff, slotted in Freezing Rain...would this stack with Freezing Rains standard Resistance Debuff, or would it better slotted on one of my soldiers...say Spec Ops?
Touch of Lady Grey: Chance for Negative Energy Damage, also slotted in Freezing Rain...same as above really, i've seen it proc a few times...but would it be more suited in Mercs?
Explosive Strike: Chance for Smashing Damage, which I plan the slot in my Comando once I get the spare slot.
The main ones I want to know about are the Impeded Swiftness and Achilles Heel.
