Those are good suggestions, but take some time to mature. For something that matures earlier, there's a Fire/Storm or Ice/Storm Corruptor. Or for less raw damage but more knockback, Energy/Storm; some teams hate knockback, but it's fun and no one will complain while you are solo.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Welcome to the game.
Solo Storm builds tend to split 2 ways:
- The kind that intentionally minimizes knockback to leverage damage(many Controllers, especially the ones with aoE immobilizes that stop knockback)
- The kind that concentrates on scatter
On teams, scattering stuff, esp. with Tornado, Gale or Hurricane, is often frowned on.
Controllers often start out slow. Plant Control is a little less slow to start than the others (and monsterous later on) but not exactly fast at first either. Fire starts slow but has great damage later, along with a lot of endurance use. Earth Control starts with much lower damage but has very powerful control abilities and is probably one of the loudest and most visually dramatic combos you can play, with constant CRASHes and screen shake effects going off.
Among Corruptors, Ice and Dark tend to be popular.
Storm/Bots MM. It is ridiculous the amount of damage this combination can do.

And BECAUSE Earth is so control heavy, it has built in defenses against Storm's crazy KB fest. I've spec'd my Tornado and Lightning Storm for damage and use Earth's massive control to keep everyone firmly planted while they get grinded down. Tornado often sits in one spot, smacking around two or three guys at close range. Lightning Storm fires out bolts in all directions, but no one goes flying anywhere. Animated Stone doesn't really have to chase anyone down so he just sits there playing the bongos on insert bad guy's name here. Tex wasn't kidding when he said it's a visually dramatic combo, but it's also an extremely satisfying combo that will let you feel arguably more important to the team dynamic than you probably really are because it's JUST SO DAMNED LOUD. WHAT!?

Thanks everyone for your replies, I've been trying many builds which I found in these forums, due to the fact that no one seemed to answered my doubts in here. Anyway, I winded up making the following builds:
-Fire storm controller )) really fun, liked it a lot
-gravity emp troller )) gravity powers' animations look funny, I love this build
-Ill time troller )) hard to solo level, takes long to kill enemies ( btw, I'm so sure I messed up pretty bad with this build since I didn't follow any guides, just picked what I thought would suit my gameplay style)
-Elec Elec troller )) fun but felt it wouldn't work well after hitting high levels in this game
- Demon storm MM )) Demons look awe! I feel powerful with this build.
Do you guys have any suggestions?, now I'd like an elec based hero. I think the Fire Storm troller fits perfectly with what I was looking for, and might make an ice storm based one soon.

Fire/storm is an interesting mix. I was late to the party but was going to suggest plant/storm. I have one I took to 50 80% solo and it was a lot of fun.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to COH, and I'm having troubles at choosing what powersets I'd like to use. Since, I'm looking for a powerful solo build which includes Storm summoning as a primary or secondary power set.
So, can you guys suggest me some good solo builds that include storm summoning as a power-set?
PS: I'm mostly into controllers, corruptors or blasters.
