Storm / Ice defender build review / comments

[Kageru]

... because I don't really know what I'm doing. I have a character for soloing so this is designed to be exploring defenders / grouping. Any comments / improvements would be most welcome.

 

The base of this build was taken from an older forum post ("Storm Summoning") with the build copied forward from a post older than that. However it seemed like it was pre-sorcery (which looks fun, it also was not flight based) so I've moved some things around (and dropped hasten). I've included the defender sets but I seem to remember reading those are not well regarded and the slot / level selection is probably a bit of a mess.
