Storms have great -tohit, -resistance, -def, but to increase the amount of freezing rain patches and lightning storms, recharge bonuses are very welcome. As a stormy mastermind, ranged and AoE defense is also very useful.
I haven't played mercs in quite some time, but they are ranged, and won't interrupt the constant movement in the middle of the fray by the stormy. Others have noted that achille's heal procs in the mercs brings improved results.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I usually try to have a goal in mind for my builds, especially those I wish to IO out. I know Doms want Recharge, and melee types want capped defenses (and who doesn't?) but what would be a good direction to aim for given these powersets? Any advice is welcome. Thank you in advance.
