Illusion/Storm

[krj12]

Just started a new Ill/Storm troller, and haven't seen a lot of info out there on this particular combination, other than it is focused more on dps and mass chaos

rather than controlling - which I'm fine with.   I tend to focus more on my character concept when choosing power sets more than anything.

 

Does anyone have a good end game build which can function well in iTrials and Task forces, as well as normal content?

I guess I'm looking for something with high recharge,  plenty of procs on the storm secondary, and good survivability.

Thanks!

It's my main, so yes...

Mine isn't 50 yet, so I really haven't done any serious planning, but I probably should.  I'll see what I can come up with.

 

I did an Illusion Controller only ITF on Saturday morning, and three of us were Storm.  Absolute sheer mayhem.  It was amazing.

Is the lack of Immobilize that bad on Ill/storm?

[Sura]

I miss it for sure.  I wish there was a pool I could hit to get one.

You can put a chance to immobilize proc in a lot of powers on Ill/Storm. Not the best way.. But a way nonetheless.

You also get a lot of Slows and Knockdowns. Make use of the KB to KD IOs, slot some Slow in Freezing Rain, and the scatter isn't that bad.

 

I did turn an AV into a marathon star once, though 😄 ... After we fought for some minutes, Nosferatu failed a Morale Check and literally ran all over the map about 5 times before I gave up chasing him. Literally, all over the map (not a large map, indoor Council mission), not stopping to attack me. Just running. Running. Forever running. For all I know, he's still running.

Ooooooo, that's worth looking in to.  Thanks!

I have been thinking about a toon who's primary purpose in life is to assist in the Terra Volta respec trial, specifically the lowest tiered one for 24-33. As a secondary function he would go around helping folks get to hard to reach badges etc (with flight, recall friend, grant invisibility, etc). Illusion/Storm looks like the best possible combo for it, but it would be a very unconventional build.

In the TV trial, Spectral Terror+Hurricane would be perfect for defending the reactor, and of course the pets would be handy.  Has anyone else made such a build already?

You could put the Superior Frozen Blast in Tornado/Freezing Rain, Razzle Dazzle has a non unique IO for powers that stun as well. That’s all I can remember off the top of my head. Ill/Storm/Leviathan could potentially lock down some mobs. Also, the Control Hybrid that doesn’t deal Psionic damage could help. I believe it has a chance to fear and immobilize component. I have not tested this, but I do know that the Superior Frozen Blast procs quite a bit on my Rad/Fire/Mu Brute. But it is in Electrifying Fences, a true targeted AoE, as opposed to a pseudo pet AoE.
