Fire/Storm.... fast pace, crazy chaos fun even with the endurance problems (which are taken care of once you get your alpha cardiac). I recently screwed myself by doing all the DA missions with my fire/storm at +3/8, and mostly just steamed-rolled my way thru. Then I started the same with my elec/rad at 0/4, and was shocked how often I was dying till I figured I had to slow it down.

And to show how powerful a fire/storm is, your fire imps are just little meat shields that do some clean-up work. More then once I forgot to throw them out, and the only dif is I take a little more damage.

Dark/Storm troller is also amazing.

Grav/Storm was also a lot of fun, and that was before Grav got it's recent buffs.

If you want to stay with a corr, Archery/Storm is a very fun combo. FR and RoA is a fun combo...

And, truthfully, Ice is very nice, too, after it develops some. If it's the feel/animation, though that makes it a deal breaker for ya tho, I'd look at a weapon set. Archery would be my first choice.

ice just doest feal right with it.lvl 42 atm so gotten all the powers. i am rollin a nother ice as an ice/nrg blaster. but realy want to give storm my full go atm.

dark/storm sounds intresting. is dark/ troll good for dam.

the fire/storm sounds great for a the fast pass char i been wanting. i cna work around the end problem with cheap sets for small end recovery and carring a stock of blues.

Dark/ for trollers is pretty low on the damage scale, from what I've seen from y experience, and what I've heard others say when they've related their experience, too. That said, mostly, ALL troller primaries are pretty low in damage, especially pre-pets, so.... Either way, a heavy damage secondary like storm is usually a great choice to help offset low damage.

I'm looking at mid's and don't see and -KB in the hold, and can't tell about the hold field, but the immobilizes do have some nice -kb.

This can be good and bad, but is something you should be aware of with storm. Anything immobiled will be gale pointless, but I find gale mostly pointless anyhow. If you make a storm troller, tho (or a Corr) you're stuck with it, sadly.

The -KB will lose ya the falling down mitigation that Freezing Rain provides, but it also locks them in the debuff patch, and Lightning Storm won't blast them off the debuffs, either. And that's nice.

Other than that, and the Thunderclap/Heart of Darkness ability to stack, I don't see a lot of synergy between Dark/ and /Storm for trollers. And I don't think I'd personally want two PBAOE Stuns.

If you're leaning troller, and you're aware of and willing to work around some endurance issues, I'd strongly lean Fire/Storm myself.

If you fire cage first, then you don't need to worry. But on my farm build, I don't have hurricane and don't even miss it. After Flash Fire, I do Fire Cages, then Freezing Rain, Fire Cages again, then dive in and go wild. Lightning Storm is a great bodyguard for any who get close, and you can take Psionic Mastery for Psionic Tornado for another AOE. I even throw out Tornado when I solo just for some added fun. Because when you solo, having a few getting knocked back actually helps as you melt those that did get caught by fire cages.

But nowadays, the pre-50th level endurance problems can be handle alot easier then in my day. Load up with Blues, stick some in your inbox, make sure you always got the temp power 'Recovery Serum' to use, and get the Accolades 'Geas of the Kind Ones'. But once you get Cardiac and the Incarnate Power Ageless, your endurance problems go away and you can really go bat crazy.


Finally, playing a fire/storm is never boring and while you need to be careful not to agg a whole room, you got enough tools to take down one or more mobs with easy. So beside being a great team toon, its arguably the second best troller for farming.

But its not the cheapest of builds, since you want a good recharge (mine's 175% with hasten).

I also took the Leviathan APP for Bile Spray and Waterspout which is just like Tornado but only it's knockup.

IF you want Raw Dmg Fire/Storm and Plant /Storm is the way to go BUT...

Dark/Storm has it's perks as well.

  • The -ToHit nature adds defense to your stormie when you are running mist or any other defense powers. Think of -To hit as aggressive +def lol.
  • Heart of Darkness combined with Thunderclap can Deliver a mag 4 or 5 Stun! and those two powers are always up!
  • Mixing Fearsome Stare and Living Shadows give you a lot of survivability since they can barely hit you
I have yet to get a Dark Control toon to 50 so I don't know what it can do dmg wise but I believe it's middle of the road or decent as far as dmg goes.

I like Storm/Dark on my def, but Dark/Storm on corr would be great also. I probably would have made one of these instead of my def had I not made it before you could roll corrs blueside.

I have a dark/storm corruptor. It's not too bad. With Freezing Rain and all the stun, it's got decent control.

If you're into knockback, energy/storm is pretty good stuff. All kb all the time. And ill/storm is powerful and lots of fun.

fire/storm corruptor is awesome and probably my favorite offensive toon. Freezing Rain and Rain of Fire cause enemies to melt. Fireball is great.

I rarely use Hurricane when teaming because there is no need. I rarely solo with it, but it is very capable. It is soft capped to S/L/E which greatly helps.

It is my primary incarnate trial toon for a good reason.


YMMV---IMO

Waterblast is coming eventually if you want to wait.

My favorite character to play in my 5 years of altitus is an ill/storm controller. I have 2 of them at lvl 50.
