Question about Storm/

[Locruid]

Little context:

Couple weeks ago I started leveling a few characters to find "that one."  the one that resonates with me.

Did Arsenal/Devices (currently my fav)

Electric/Devices

Electric/Trick Arrow

Fire/Time.

 

With the exception of Arsenal/Devices, I stopped them about level 8 and tried a different approach.

 

The other day I watched the "sniper" power of Storm and I was like THATS IT!  BUT BUT BUT

 

Im currently at level 5 and have missed more attacks than the previous 4 characters COMBINED.  Sure I get the occasional miss from the others and maybe a bad string on the very rare occasion but seems almost EVERY SINGLE BATTLE I do I have 2-5 misses on 3 different powers.  Does Storm have an inherent -tohit debuff put on the character or something?  I have slotted all 5 characters the same up to level 8 and didnt have this issue on the others.

There is a little bit of truth to your observation:

AR has a slight ACC bonus to attacks

If you are using short circuit a lot that has a bonus to acc

 

Other than that you are just experiencing the joy of low level progression, this is normal. Storm blast isn't inherently less accurate than other blasts.

 

I recommend running content at -1/0 solo at low levels. It's not the mob xp that levels you up quickly, it's the mission completion bonus and story arc completion bonuses that speed up your leveling.

 

If you want to accelerate testing out blaster combinations, you can do this on brainstorm and instant level to try out all the combinations.

If you run new characters through the Death from Below trial, select the Accuracy Enhancer temp power at completion. This provides you with a 12% tohit bonus that lasts until lvl 22. You can earn a similar temp power that lasts until lvl 30 by completing the Drowning in Blood Trial (lvl 15+).
