Guess this isn't so much a suggestion as me just giving you something...o well...hope it helps
This is what I am running right now. It is not the best and I am damn sure it is not optimized but for being a gravity I am happy with him

Thanks. I will take pretty much anything at this point. I just got back after not playing for about 3 years so I had him slotted with just SO's so its all new to me now.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn
Overall, Babyscid's build is quite good. I agree with all of the power choices and the order. Personally, I put damage in GD, since my single-target attack chain is GD-Crush-Propel. There are a few other little touches here and there that I do differently, but I don't have access to Mids at the moment, so I can't show you. But overall, his build is very good.
I have a Decimation "Chance for Hold" proc in Lightning Storm -- it hits often enough to be noticable and matches theme-wise since the hold is a tesla cage.
I prefer the Ice APP set . . . Hibernate gives a way to recover both health and endurance, you get a Defense-based shield plus two AoE damage powers when Grav is lacking in AoE damage.
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.)

wow I got props from one of the big guns on here!! 
due to being text and not spoken word I feel I must stress that was not sarcasm.
Now I have to admit that my build has great influence from both you and Lewis. It is kind of a combo Local Lewis build with a sprinkle of babyscid. Good ol search button.
Ok Ok on to an actually question....
How would you slot the Ice App? I am a bit underwhelmed by fire and I like the thought of Hibernate and a bit of defense. I cannot seem to do it without gimping one of the Ice App powers. I wish you werent stuck taking hibernate right away as I dont want Ice blast.
Also, what is your suggestion in GD? a full damage set or a mix and match?
You know I just realized this isnt my live build.....I removed the Hami's but cannot remember what I replaced them with. Anyway doesnt matter just curious about the above question. Thanks in advance

I actually like the Ice APP set for most of my Stormy controllers, and it is a great fit for a Grav/Storm. Hibernate gives you a way to recover both Endurance and Health, and a single Recharge is all it needs. Grav already has good single target damage, so you can skip Ice Blast to take Frost Breath, Ice Storm and Ice Armor. Two AoE damage powers fill a hole for Grav/Storm.
As for GD, it really depends on your build. If you are going for high recharge, then 4 Baz Gaze plus an Acc/Dam Hami-O and a common Damage is pretty decent. (If you don't want to pay for the Hami-O, then any Acc/Dam from any set will do.) If you mainly solo, you can go with a damage set.
You have a few enhancements here and there that I would change, but it is a good build. For example, in Singy I would trade out the Dam/End from Expediant Reinforcement for the triple -- and you could consider using Soulbound Dam/Rech and Expediant Reinforcement 10% Resist proc in the last two slots. Since Singy already has high resists, that proc will make him all that much tougher to kill.
In Stamina, I would use the P-Shift proc in place of the EndMod/Acc, as I think the overall effect is more end. If you can, fit in another slot and use 4 P-Shift there.
If you are looking for high recharge, you could put a LotG Recharge in Steamy Mist and Ice Armor. With H-merits, it is not tough to get those now.
If you can get it (they are expensive now), the Chance for Hold in the AoE Immob is great. And as I said, I like different slotting in Lightning Storm -- 2 Thunderstrikes (Dam/Rech, Dam/EndRdx/Rech), 2 Entropic Chaos (same), 2 Devastation with Chance for Hold proc. Some decent Recovery and Regen bonuses. But my slotting is a bit low on EndRdx.

I have been away from the game for quite awhile and was looking to respec my Grav/Storm Controller with IO sets. Do any of you have any build suggestions?
