Storm/Bio - WAY better than i thought (feedback needed)

[Naturallymorbid]

So iv'e been having a blast on my Elect/bio and i though i though i'd give Storm a try for the first time.

So after hitting level 30 and putting some basic IOs in it, for solo its amazing! with group less so because of the set up time, but the damage and overall control it gives is amazing, even at these levels i can solo 5/+1 pretty easily.

 

So i'd love some advice on slotting and addition powers, mainly focusing on solo content.

Defensively its a little lack since im planning on using offensive adaptation.

As far as epic i went with Cold for CC

• In Hardened Carapace, you're focusing too much on end reduction and not enough on resist. Switch the res/rech/end piece for resist.
• Add heal enhancement(s) to Inexhaustible for the +hp.
• Not sure the Annihilation proc will fire reliably in Storm Cell.
• Slot the Gaussian's %bu proc in Intensify
• The Panacea proc should go in Health or Inexhaustible, not Ablative Carapace. It needs to be in an active power.
• Frostbite feels like a weak choice for your epic. You don't really need an AoE immobilize and the %dmg procs have a really low chance to fire with the amount of recharge you have slotted. Most people select a melee attack.
• I wouldn't skip Athletic. It provides defense debuff resistance.

would chain lighting be a better proc?

Storm Cell is a pseudo pet, which means procs check on cast and every 10s thereafter. Given its radius, the chance to proc is about 13%. Chain Lightning has max targets of 10 (although I've never seen it hit more than 3 or 4), giving it a chance to proc of 13% with no recharge slotted. With the amount of recharge you have slotted, the proc chance would be floored at 9.5%.
