Illusion/Storm Build Critique

Posted

I'm just getting back from overseas and looking forward to playing again. I have a few lv50s and decided to go with my Ill/Storm as a main for awhile, but I need to revamp it. Any suggestions/help b4 IOing would be great; no particular direction as far as perma Phantoms etc. Thanks in advance guys...

Noone has any thoughts on this build?

Just seeing a data chunk and a "please look at my build" message often does not make me want to load up Mids, copy the data chunk into it, just so I can spend 20 min critiquing your build. I suggest you post the build itself (some of us don't have access to Mids 24/7) and give a little bit of explanation about your play style and what you are hoping to achieve.


LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Cut costs by looking at what you really need. I mean a chance for placate in blind? 2 Fortunata Hypnosis for 0,07 ers? My other alts would benefit more from any unnecessary expense if it were my toon.


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.

I was hoping that since Blind has a chance to affect multiple targets, that the Placate would carry over as well but IDK. Also I remember my active stormies being endurance heavy and figured every bit would help. I work overseas and don't get to play for extended periods of time so have a decent amount of money and purples from farming/market days laying around. Most of my toons are lv50 and built "unecessarily" since I don't know what else to do with the stuff other than make more money that I'm not really gonna use. Thanks for looking at the build ND.

I looked at your guide LM (good stuff) and couple of others; this is what I am looking at for TFs and other high level content with teams and solo:
