Critique please: Illu Storm Perma PA build

Looks almost identical to my build except that it costs a lot more. You still have 6 seconds of downtime on PA but in all honesty I get along fine with that so you should as well. My only concern is what may happen during those 6 seconds. Personally I worked PS into my build which used liberal use of LoTG and Red Fortune as well. Without going back to look however I'm wondering how I ended up with the same 6 sec downtime like you but didn't spend anywhere nearly as much on high-grade enhancements.
Its been a while since I used Mids, but I recreated my build. There seems to be a disparity between what Mids says is the downtime and what the actual in-game downtime is. Mids says 10 seconds but ingame they start vanishing and I can resummon in 6 seconds.
Heres my build, if you thought yours was unusual then check this out:

A lot of these needs re-evaluating because of new enhancements and the change to +rech not benefitting pets anymore. But despite everying I can still solo AVs with all this, anything I do to it now would just make things even easier.
I doubt I'll ever be able to afford all of this but should I be able to manage this here would be my ideal build. Perks of this include:
Double Hasten for roughly 10 seconds. (That will come in handy)
Near Perma-Phantom Army with 0.2 seconds downtime (I'm sure the hasten x2 will negate that)
Instant respam of Spectral Wounds and Decieve (recharges as fast as animation completes)
Double stacking of Freezing Rain
Triple Thunder Storms
And of course I have the Blessing of the Kind Ones temp power which will allow me four thunderstorms, 3 tornadoes and a good 30 seconds of Double Hasten. At present my +rech bonus is 165%, with this ideal build it is 211%. Not much of an increase considering the cost involved but will make AV soloing easier with no downtime.

I do see you squeezed out a bit more recharge than my build. But I see no Stamina and no Numina/Mircale recoveries so I'm not sure how endurance efficient you'd be. Does this build allow perma Conserve Power? I hadn't really considered that avenue. If CP is perma here I could see that working. I just really liked the idea of Ice APP for Hibernate and the idea of adding Ice Storm into the fray of pseudo pets.
I don't find myself running out of endurance as it is and the updated build has even more +recovery. Besides, it is possible to completely summon ALL of the pets and have the endurance return before needing to resummon again. Because Illus/Storm has so much done by the pets you don't really have to do anything tiring except for resummoning them and doing some micro-management.
And on the odd occasions when you do need endurance you just carry a health supply of blues. Since your pets largely don't benefit from yellows and reds you really don't need to do anything but carry a few heals, some purples and a B/F or two.
Hey Tal_N
I notice that on your phantasm you've got the chance of +rech proc.
How does that work?
Is that a chance to get +rech (for you) anytime the phantasm attacks or only when you cast phantasm?
50s:
White Valkyrie - BS/Regen Scrap
Fear of Silence - Ninja/Dark MM
Corporate Zombie - Necro/Poison MM
Ardent Cataclysm - Stone/Fire Tank
Angelic Heart - Peacebringer
Maelstrom - Elec/Elec Brute
Novastar - Energy/Fire Blaster
I tried it this weekend: Perma PA with Conserve Power and Phase Shift. Perhaps I am going into this build with too high of an expectation to handle at least +0/x8 settings, since I can do +2/x8 settings on my perma PA Illu/Rad/Fire and also with my SS/Fire/Elec brute with ease. Both of them have self healing and mez protection or resistance, neither of which my stormie has.
Phase Shift: Only usable for 30 seconds. Pets still attack but appear to do 0 damage until Phase ends. Hard cap of I believe 90(?) seconds before I can Phase again. Not sure I will keep this power and its pre-reqs. The only nice thing about this over Hibernate is that I can still move around.
Conserve Power: Appears to be no where near perma despite my high recharge. The downtime is very painful without Stamina or the Health IOs. Tornado and Thunderstorm are up very often and cost a lot of end, and PA is mandatory to preserve safety so I have to make sure I have enough end to cast it as well.
The tentative solution to this is to take Hibernate like I initially planned. I can heal, recover endurance, and have an emergency button available. I understand Hibernate also now suffers from the same 90(?) seconds hard cap that Phase does sadly, but overall I still think I personally will enjoy it over Conserve Power, and drop the Concealment pool to get Stamina and the Health IOs again.
Intitial impressions only. I will also consider taking the Psi APP for mez protection since apparently all the pets aren't keeping the foes off me enough. I absolutely hate having no self heal though...

Since the change to how recharge affect pets, the +recharge proc in Phantasm will have little effect. It will have a 10% to fire on the caster when Phantasm is summoned. After that, it will have a chance to fire when Phantasm uses its powers; unfortunately, the +recharge will have no effect because Phantasm is now considered the caster and pets ignore recharge.|

Tal_N,
You are substantially missing out if you don't put the Contagious Confusion proc in Deceive. About 1/3 of the time, it will hit one or more additional foes if there are others in the area. You get an occational Mini-Mass Confusion just for using Deceive. All three of my level 50 Illusionists have it, as does my Ice/Storm in Arctic Air.

Problem for me is: my high recharge always allows many endurance draining abilities to be cast at basically all times. IE: I can have at least 3 tornados out a once, 3 thunderstorms, 2 freezing rains, perma PA, plus flash and thunderclap are up very often. Then there's Deceive, Blind, Flash, and Phantasm if he dies. All the while I desire to be running Hurricane and Steamy Mist. This is extremely endurance intensive at *any* time. There really are no spike times I can prepare for. It's a perma-spike, lol.

It no longer works. The build was prior to them preventing pets from suffering from -rech or +rech changes. It used to allow for faster attacks and for him to summon two decoy phantasms. The nice thing about procs on these kinds of pets is that the decoy had a chance to proc too, and that effected both the decoy and the real Phantasm. Which in turn allowed for a 2nd decoy which also had a chance to proc.|

Its the same reason why I have the Build-Up proc in Phantom Army. All three have a chance to trigger the buff and all three benefit from it at the same time.

While it is true that you have every power ready in the blink of an eye that doesn't mean you have to use them. Sometimes more is less, especially when many cause knockback. For example, you don't need hurricane and steamy mist all the time or even most of the time. Check out my videos on youtube, I rarely use either except for specific situations. If you watch my endurance bar you only see it drop low when I do a rapid resummon of my main pets.

With the proc, I use Deceive constantly in almost every battle. I think the benefits far outweigh any downside. An AoE Mez that doesn't draw aggro and can result in bonus XP? Yes, please! As long as I or my team do some of the damage, we're earning plenty of XP.|

With the AoE proc they may hit a nearby soldier who then decides to make it his mission in life to smash the FFG I'm using to buff myself. In general, there is little to be gained from mass confusion because all it does it eat EXP if you allow it to carry on too long. If the fight is ended quickly then you don't notice the loss but in general Illus/Storm doesn't struggle to deal with large spawns anyway.

I was on a Lady Gray TF yesterday, and was confusing groups of Rikti, some of which were Guardians who would then cast AM on our team. I wasn't targetting Guardians, but I got some anyway. I used Deceive to mez the Clock King at the end of the first mish, and while I was building mag on him, all his little annoying minions were beating up on each other thanks to the proc -- until the King himself became confused, and he used his big Alpha Strike to wipe out most of his minions. (We were almost all level 50, so XP didn't matter. We were also trying a Master run, so safety mattered more than anything else. The tank didn't have to take the Alpha Strike from the AV that way.) I have no doubt that the frequent use of Deceive with that proc helped reduce the damage my team took and helped us kill groups faster.

No doubt an adjustment to playstyle is in order since perma CP is no option. More than anything I was pointing out that in an ideal scenario I'd be capable of maximum output with endurance being of little or no concern, like I currently enjoy with my Illu/Rad and my SS/Fire with equal IO budgets. I love this character though |

Conclusion: Very fun and enjoyable no-budget build overall and definitely worth the investment if this is your main and/or if you have boatloads of inf to spare on it.
For me personally, I prefer /Rad over /Storm when dealing with no budget IO builds. While both get to enjoy perma Hasten and PA, only /Rad gets the benefit of a self heal, mez resistance, minimal endurance issues, stronger debuffs and overall team-friendliness. With /Storm I had to constantly run behind walls, cast Phase, conserve endurance more than I would like to, and also hold back on teams quite a bit to avoid getting people annoyed with me throwing foes around all over the place with Tornado and such. Overall I had to sacrifice too much considering the amount of money invested. IMO I can still have a ton of fun with my Stormie on a much lower budget, so I think I will be using my two respecs to transfer the expensive IOs to other characters.
Thanks for the advice all.
Ìf the choice was between the no-brainer Illus/Rad where you don't have to think much about what you're doing and Illus/Storm then obviously Illus/Storm was gonna come out second because it is inherantly harder to play and has a learning curve. Personally thats why I love it so much, I don't like vegetating while I play. I prefer to be constantly adapting to the changing situation that Illus/Storm causes.

There's a difference between having 5 pets and 7. Ill/Rad doesn't get to cast Lightning Storm and Tornado and sit back (hiding in a hurricane protective wrap) and watch the pets do stuff. Ill/Rad has to be a little more active.
I like both sets. Neither one is a "no brainer" if played well. Ill/Storm is flashy and loud and chaotic. Ill/Rad is more flexible, more team-friendly and, in the long run, a little bit more powerful. The pet recharge nerf hurt Stormies a lot by reducing LS's attacks quite a bit.

Have actually knocked the dust off of mine and decided to io out my ill/storm for perma pa. Here is what I came up with, some advice and/or critique would be great. Trying to keep in mind you have to add the casting time into perma pa, this build (according to Mids) shows a 4 second down time adding in the 3 second casting time.

To preface I realize some of my slotting may be seen as odd or questionable, like in Spectral Wounds. I have no budget issues so want to get a very powerful, potent, and fun build. The idea of this build is to keep Army out at all times while enjoying the awesome chaos Illusion/Storm offers. Will do some single targeting but will overall focus more on pets and AOEs. I already imagine endurance will be an issue so I took Ice APP for Hibernate to help out with that. Any suggestions/tweaks/etc would be appreciated
