I would say stick with storm since you know it so well. Storm will offer a nice Hit debuff for your pets when solo. When solo you can run around tagging everyone to get the hit debuff on them and in a team you can use them as attack powers while holding off on other less group friendly Storm powers, of course that all depends on your group. Some will say thanks for the hurricane tag knowing the debuff it offers others will complain you knocked the baddies away.
Pain is nice, everyone wants a healer I guess. I know I have DS Pain and some pretty much tell me out right they just want me for the heals.
I feel solo though Storm can give you a better edge though. I'm more familiar with Storm myself compared to Pain.
I guess it would be nice to know what some Pain MM are soloing with there pain builds.

thanks for the input! I never solo so I'm not so concerned with that, but I can see how it would be much more fun than pain. I'm not sure how I would like it if teams just wanted me for heals...

Any team that's looking to a MM for a healer is stupid and probably not worth joining. MMs are AoE or ST dps (plus support), at the player's discretion |

I have a Thugs/Pain and so far at level 26 its rocking everything very well. 28 you also get a PBAoE buff to resistance, dmg and accuracy which will help keep your damage up. I use provoke on mine so I take the alpha strikes, mixed with almost 600% HP Regen from Pain and Health slotted, the Supremacy damage spreader and an AoE heal it's very rare that I find myself in a difficult situation.
I'd say Thugs/Poison.
Can't think of an MM I've enjoyed more. But I'm biased, it's true.
My 50 MM(Underseer) is a thugs/poison. I love that combo. You will eat EBs and AVs when you team with your insane debuffage.
I just rolled a Thugs/Traps and so far it is very good.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
So I'm thinking of making a Thugs MM and can't decide on the secondary. I did some searching on the forums and narrowed it down to these 2. I'm very familiar with Storm, but have no experience with Pain. Which of these has better synergy with Thugs and why?
As for how I play, I always team so anything that will help the team is a plus.
