1st let me say awesome! Another Water/Storm corr. 2nd. Probably won't see many of these around and for the main reason I'm gonna list. END. In another post just above this one, I let it be known that /storm/ is an end killer.
Looking at your build kinda made me feel that you haven't played a storm char before, or have very little experience with the set. Just on toggles alone, you are burning 2.52 end/s. Then the actual powers come into play... You will be hurting and quickly hurting at that. Water is no slouch in the end use department either. I too initially went the positional defense route (just for kicks). But after looking at the build and already knowing about storms lust for end, (I have 4 or 5 storm chars) I quickly scrapped that idea and just tried to grab as much ranged D as I could. My main focus went back to end use.
You took the Power epic set but didn't take 2 of the more important powers in the set. Especially for storms. Conserve power and force of nature. I know FoN crashes which is contradictory to my end beliefs, but while it is active, provides you with some end relief. If you don't know what they do check em out. I don't have time atm to really dig in deep on this, so I'm gonna post the build I went live with on Thursday. I'd also suggest that you read the other post and see if it helps you any.

Miles to go and Skies to Fly!
I have not played a Storm to 50, I do admit! And as my WB/Storm is almost 50 I'm realizing the end problem. My S/L Res is Soft Capped, so I don't feel like I need Force of Nature. I do hate crashes >.< And I've never taken a power like 'Conserve Power' because I feel I could save that power slot for something else, and just take Cardiac for my Alpha Slot. Do you think that would remedy my end problems? Also as a storm player, what is your opinion on Lightning Storm? Between dropping Freezing Rain, Whirlpool, and usually a Tornado, I don't normally have time to set up a Lightning Storm as well. Is it bread and butter of the set? Or am I right to skip it.
I can't see your build ATM, but do have some Storm advice. It is more important to have freezing rain up ASAP than slotting it for def debuff. It's an excellent source of -res. combine that with the ah proc and it helps to melt mobs fast.
As for LS, I have never regretted taking it. Slot it for damage and recharge it is good to go. Even if you only use it to cast right above you so it tears the **** out of anything that wants to close to melee with you. It is awesome with Av's as well.
You really don't need to worry about getting all the way to the positional softcap. Tag the spawn with hurricane, and the -tohit directly stacks with your defence. Just make sure you hit them all with your hurricane.
End reductions everywhere. +5 one of them in your attacks and the end problems vanish.

Yes. crashes suck. But all you have to do is bolt once you see FoN start to blink. Wait a few secs for your end to recover and then proceed to hammer away. If your asking about CP fixing your end problems then the answer is yes...sort of. It cuts down on the end cost of all powers including the toggles for 90 secs I think. But it obviously has a duration timer so once it's run it's course, your end "problems" return. It's just the nature of storm. I just got the Atlas accolade and it is very noticeable in terms of end recovery/use. Working on Portal Jockey now and I "should" be fine going forward.
Lightning Storm is awesome. Kinda like a clouded blanket of kick butt watching over me whilst I whittle away at the vics. I would never, ever drop Freezing Rain. That there might be the "bread and butter" power your looking for. All the debuffs it provides makes it a top notch power. In fact, anything that has a -res component in it is top notch to me. I'm keeping Whirlpool simply because that gives me 2 patches of nastiness. I'm thinking alot about BaF's with these 2. Throw in LS and uber yummy. But they are also (minus the -end part) very solo friendly.
So far I'm running content on 0/6 and I think I can push that to 8. My set up is as follows. TF, PBU, the 2 patches, Geyser, LS, my 2 attack aoes and then the ST's if there is anything left. By that time, my end is probably a bit below half. Time to munch on some blues or hit CP. FoN usually only gets used if I am getting overwhelmed and need the xtra +res and +rec. And keep in mind, FoN is +res to all damage types (including Toxic) except for Psi. Sure while I'm setting all this up I'm gonna get tagged a few times. Might even get stunned or held. But Bf's are my friends and I don't mean boyfriends. And they usually don't stay around long enough to finish me off because the AI is set up to, "Run Forrest! Run!", when they feel the ticks of FR and WP tickling life away.
I am actually thinking about dropping Tornado for the 1st time ever in favour of Water Jet. I'm finding that once Hasten winks out for the 15-20 secs or so that it does, my ST/AOE attack chain kinda falters. I also mainly use F5 against AV's/EB's and a "gtfoom" me panic button. Which, unless I'm running an arc solo that has an AV/EB, I don't use it. On teams I rarely ever use it and when I do I usually have 1 or 2 escape excuses ready in case the team wants to confuse each other and come after me (how they would do that I dunno...).
Sinister hit it on the money with Hurricane too. I really hate this power and wish it didn't have kb in it. But if you just ever so slightly touch the groups, then usually just the minions or anything that doesn't have any kb pro/res will get knocked back. But. They will all get kissed by the -tohit, I think. And that in turn adds to your def. Which is why I didn't bother soft capping anything. PBU+Hurricane+def I already have makes me pretty hard to hit at range.
Key points.
1. End mitigation any way you can
2. Accolades. Easy to get but time consuming. Get the Atlas Medallion 1st since it is the easiest and I promise you, you will notice a difference. Not game changing, but you'll see it. Portal Jockey is the other one to shoot for.
3. FR and LS are 2 of your best pals. Hurricane is the ugly duckling but can be very useful.
4. See no.1
Last note. Hurricane detoggles once you get mez'd. Just be aware of this and you'll be fine.

Have you tried slotting Tornado with the new Knockback-to-Knockdown conversion IO from the summer event? (Overwhelming Force is the name of the set.) It turns Tornado into a solid control+damage power that actually does NOT send enemies all over the room. Instead, it will sit on a target, hitting it and anything else in a small radius, until it switches targets, which it doesn't do all that often.|

It's actually so good, the devs have already announced a nerf: Tornado, Bonfire, and anything similar that does repetitive, quick knockback will convert to a 40% chance of knockdown with this proc. It's still going to be amazing, though.
I haven't tried that. I stuck the set in Whirlpool thinking the chance to kd was universal to all powers with kb for the duration of the chance. If I'm wrong I'll def take a look but may still end up dropping F5 for WJ for the reason I listed. When I solo, kb isn't the reason I don't use it. The end use is. Although, I'm wondering if the frequency of WJ returning will cause me to use more end over time then F5 will.
I think in the time it took F5 to recharge, I could use WJ at least 2 times, maybe more, depending on my chain, for roughly 7 end compare to the one time I could use F5 for roughly 5 more end. Which isn't bad if you ask me. But still. That's 5 more end that I'm not sure I want to use on a power that "might" not kb-kd. And if it's getting nerfed, while 40% is still really good, it may not be worth it -to me- to keep the power. But like I said, I'll check it out and see if my feeble mind can be changed.
Thanks for the heads up though. I do appreciate it when other stormers interject their thoughts and expericences with the set and I'm sure the fng's to the set do too.

The OF proc has a 20% chance to KD targets when slotted in a power that does not already possess KB/KD. For NOW...when slotted in powers that have KB (and damage) like most every attack in energy blast, tornado, bonfire, etc...it turns the KB in to KD 100% of the time. However...the proc is bugged (unless they fixed it and i missed the memo) and is not working properly when slotted into non-kb powers....ie not working at all. The devs are also planning to change the KB to KD part of the proc and give it a 40% chance to KD instead of KB. This is probably due, at least in part, to the nastiness that is powers like Bonfire with this proc.

Some other thoughts:
Rather than offering slotting advice, I will do as I did in another thread and suggest a paradigm shift in the way you're building your character.
With storm, Melee defense is useless, you have Hurricane. Simply turn that on when You need Melee defense, although if you have LS, Freezing rain, and Tornado, it's unlikely anything will make it to you. AoE damage is rare, and PBAoE damage isn't likely to get near you, so I would recommend ignoring those, and focusing more on slotting powers beneficially, and getting Ranged defense more efficiently.

I'll strongly consider taking Lightning Storm. However it is possible to have TOO much AoE, seeing as this isn't a farm toon. It's what will kill my end quicker than anything else. I can't believe a Tier 4 Cardiac and Conserve Power aren't enough End O.o? Is Storm that end heavy? I may make power choices based on how much end they cost if this is the case. AKA Foregoing Lightning Storm or Tornado. Else I could fit more 'Max End' into the build.| Well, you don't have Lightning Storm, which is a big endurance drain (although it is some impressive AoE damage as well) but my guess would be no, it won't solve your problems.

If we could put the -KB Proc in Hurricane...I'd love it to death. Alas it does no damage. I like the idea of "tagging" a few enemies for the -tohit but I don't see any way in accomplishing that without spreading the entire mob which is not only countering my synergy, but the rest of the teams. You're very right about the AoE, and I like the idea of focusing more on slotting powers beneficially. I'll disregard Soft Capping AoE.

It's really only a serious problem with builds that 1) try to soft cap because they tend to be running more toggles and 2) have a high recharge because those expensive powers start getting used much more often. But in those two scenarios, YES.|

I've taken a lot of the advice, and came up with this. Pretty inexpensive overall, a few exceptions. For my last power, I still have Acrobatics in. I have a few options, Acro..Assault..Power Build Up..Tactics. Opinions on which?

Hi,
I started to adjust your build but was making so many changes i just started over fresh. If I were to make another /Storm Corr, this is the one it would be.
Below is the build I would use, it is softcapped to smashing/lethal/energy and almost (41.1%) to ranged all without alphas taken into account. I would go agility alpha and clarion for this build.
Other highlights: 161.5% global recharge and 1259 hitpoints before accolades
Anyway I hope it is helpful to you.

Power Build Up.
I think you have over slotted for defence debuffing. Way overslotted for it. Your accuracy is good enough that you wont be missing often anyway. All you need to do is lead with an(unslotted for -def) freezing rain, and you will be able to hit everything in the spawn whenever you want. I would also highly recommend cardiac over spiritual. Your recharge is okay without it.
I took your build and pulled some of the -def from it, while maintaining your goals I believe. I am sure it can be improved upon.

One or more set bonuses have exceeded the 5 bonus cap, and will not affect your stats. Ranged needs that extra 4%! And I couldn't go with no s/l resistance, my extra hit points would amount to nothing. I think I'll definitely go Cardiac. 51% Energy is overkill. |
Hi, I started to adjust your build but was making so many changes i just started over fresh. If I were to make another /Storm Corr, this is the one it would be. Below is the build I would use, it is softcapped to smashing/lethal/energy and almost (41.1%) to ranged all without alphas taken into account. I would go agility alpha and clarion for this build. Other highlights: 161.5% global recharge and 1259 hitpoints before accolades |

Sometimes you need to weigh effectiveness against a few pecentage points. Cardiac alone will take care of most if not all your end issues. And dont forget to chase down your accolades.|

Edited to add:
Also, since you are interested in Resistance, may I recommend Paralytic Interface and Void Judgement. The -damage in both of these trees synergize and build on top of your resistances. Dont forget Melee Core Hybrid as well. Nice chunk of resistance to be had there.

I don't know if I play storm the way it "should" be played. But I much prefer the way I do it, even if it might be unconventional, because my whole way of using /storm is to do no KB whatsoever, unless in a dire "it just hit the fan" situation. I just wanted to put that out there so you could take anything I say with a large grain of salt.
The KB in hurricane does NOT need to be the issue everyone talks about - it's radius is HUGE (25ft, iirc?), and extends well beyond the KB range. Where the visual edge of the power is, realize that it extends about twice as far as that, where it is also doing NO KB.
What I really dislike about the power is that when it's running, I can't see a thing! At the same time I am trying to see where anything is, my blue bar is going south. Grr! However, it's to-hit debuff is so good, it puts dark defenders in a deep shame spiral.
So, it is effective to use this when there are tough critters about, or just at the outset of the alpha, or wherever you want to debuff the bejeebers out of your enemies - so long as you're far enough back that the KB isn't messing with the mobs. After that, I personally shut it off, and enjoy my ability to see again.
LS is a great damage power, but I only bring it out for AV's. The KB can be painful for others, so I use LS sparingly. But I really would not want to be without it for higher level content, with its abundance of AV's, GM's and EB's. It's got nice damage, but the thing is, it continues to have nice damage, while you are off doing other things, like hopefully providing more nice damage.
I have Tornado slotted with the KB to KD proc, and can attest that is is, indeed, truly a wonderful, beautiful thing. It's effect is a bit like having another FR, and becomes a lovely control power, on top of what it already does. And again, it's providing damage, while you're busy providing still more damage with your blast attacks.
For your build, I'd suggest putting a Thunderstrike set in every ranged attack in your primary, as well as in LS. 4 Expedient Reinforcements in Tornado (to make room for the proc). Add a Steadfast proc and a GI in Steamy Mist. That, along with CJ, Manuevers, Weave, will put you close to the ranged soft-cap. Toss in a Gaussian's set somewhere, and/or Stupify, Lockdown, or whatever other sets you like with a ranged defense bonus, and you should be able to hit the cap. I seriously would not want to be below the soft-cap if I could possibly avoid it - WB/Storm is a pretty aggressive combination. Beyond the damage defense, almost all mezzes have a ranged component. Thus, if you have ranged defenses capped, you've pretty effectively capped your mezz defense, too.
Hope something in here helps. Happy storming!

And IMO, there is no bad way to play storm, just a solo friendly way, and a team friendly way.
Here's the tentative final version. A few choices are personal ones, but it's a great looking build for a very affordable price. I stopped worrying about set bonuses as much and made each individual power effective. I realize the extra 8.5% Max End won't make too big a difference, but paired with Cardiac, Conserve Power, and Accolades, I'll never have to worry about End.

I would really try hard to get an Achiles Heel proc in both Freezing Rain and Whirlpool. Also, as freezing rain is possibly the single most important power in your build, I would try to get its recharge down as low as possible.
Even though the power says it doesnt stack from the same caster, because you are casting two separate pet entities, it will stack with itself. I can doublestack the debuffs permanantly on my bots/storm. That is -60% resistance before your proc fires.
Other than that, as long as the build works for you, that is all that matters.
Actually, at least get yourself 4 points of kb protection...
Anyone up to the task of trying to soft-cap all positional defenses (m/r/a) and soft-capping s/l res?
