Well there are two things you could be talking about-
Tornado, which is the T9 Storm Summoning power.
Water Spout, which is available to Scrappers and Stalkers in the Mako pool.
Have Tornado (the power)'s recharge be faster than its duration, and you can have more than one out at a time. Same for Lightning Storm.

Storm Summoning's Tornado looks nothing like Scirocco's tornados (or Dust Devils), though they seem to have the same effect. Scirocco can summon up to five at once, while the Tornado power summons only one at a time (though it can have more than out out at a time, if you have enough recharge).
Really? On Tornado, I have it back before my old Tornado expires and it just seems to make a new one, like with dark servant.
Funny how one single IO can turn a power from "only use this if all else fails" into a "I want this up all the time" power.
I wonder if the original dev (was it geko?) who said people really do like knockback is listening...

I really do like knockback. Its useful and fun.
Which is not to say I don't use the proc occasionally. There are powers where KD is better, like Bonfire and Tornado.
I really do like knockback. Nothing looks quite as superheroic, and it provides excellent mitigation, even against bosses. If you know what you're doing, it's not as disruptive as people make out.
I hate the knockdown animation. I can see the utility, but something about a group of enemies flopping repeatedly inside a fire patch or tornado makes me cringe.
Knockback in pets like Tornado is obviously beyond the player's ability to direct though. Even solo, I found it annoying, as enemies would often get stuck in the geometry or pushed into the ceiling. Thats the one time I contemplated getting that proc.
If we're topic drifting towards knockback in general, my personal stance is that knockback is great, but it should never be on a power where the player can't control it precisely. Specifically, I think there should be no knockback on pets and no area knockback on powers that are likely to be used in melee range.
Be a Storm/Psychic Defender with the speed pool. Tornado, Psychic Tornado, and Whirlwind! Tornadoy goodness!

Yea, count me as another, "I love knockback, just not in most pets," person. I probably wouldn't have put so much time into my energy blaster and warshade otherwise.

If you also take a detour red side and pick up the Patron Pool of Leviathan Mastery, you can get Water Spout too.

also available for controllers and doms(Waterspout works perfectly with the storm summoning powerset, and can be recolored when I24 drops to make it look like sandstorm)
NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.

I see people with the multiple tornadoes and I want them. I've also seen Scirocco with them. I was thinking they were a villian Patron power but when I switched my Stormy to villian I could not find them. Can anyone tell me how I can obtain these tornadoes?
