I use the Devastation Proc Chance for Hold in my Lightning Storm on about 4 characters. Love it! It has a chance to hit with each lightning strike -- which used to be much more often before the recharge nerf. Still, I see the Tesla Cage animation pop up on a regular basis, which goes quite well with Lightning.
By putting two procs into it, you will be giving up either damage or recharge, which I'm not willing to do. I generally slot the Dam/Rech and Dam/EndRdx/Rech from Thunderstrike and Entropic Chaos, and the Dam/Rech and Chance or Hold from Devastation. It has so much inherent accuracy that, combined with my Acc bonuses, means it has no trouble hitting.

The Lightning Storm does have a decent accuracy (about the same as if it had a level 50 Common Accuracy IO slotted in it) but your Set Bonuses shouldn't affect it any more than they would any other pet.|

You could 6 slot it with 2 PROCs and 4 Dam/Recharge and it'd give full damage & recharge plus the effects of the two procs, but the End costs might be a bit high.

Whoops -- You're right, that you can cap Damage and Recharge with 4 Dam/Rech IOs. I think I like my slotting because it gives some EndRdx and 22% Regen, 2% Recovery in a build that could really use those bonuses. Beides, the Chance for Stun is only 10% for a Mag 2 stun, not worth slotting.

I'm about to IO my earth storm controller, and I'm looking at Lightning Storm and the procs energy manipulator:chance for stun, and devastation: chance for hold.
Does the proc have a chance to fire each time lightning storm makes an attack, or will these two procs even work?
