I did originally consider Storm/Storm, but I usually team with friends who like to just kinda. Smash through content? I had been led to believe that Storm Blast might not be the best for that just because of the mandatory setup with stormcell. How is it in your experience?

What are the main differences then between Plant and Earth? I recognize earth is loaded with the -def debuffs. Does plant really do that much more damage? Does it just proc better?

I have read a few of the topics floating around the boards, but am still finding it difficult to select a primary for my Storm Controller. I have literally no experience with controllers and am looking at plant, earth, and gravity in roughly that order. From experience which pairing gels best with Storm, and is most effective solo while still contributing to a group?

Hi, I'm looking at finally building out a character who narratively is meant to be reliant on technology and skill. I was heavily leaning staff but have heard a lot of mixed things about it overall. My only real question, isn't really if it's viable as I know everything is to a point, especially on teams but one regarding soloing. I don't need to solo 4/8 but it'd be nice, but can it reliably solo 3/8s? AVs? I don't always want to team and sometimes like cruising around alone to kill time. It would he Staff/Bio for context I get EM is considered the better set, but how big is the gap? Thanks.
