Hello all, 

I was thinking about the Storm Scourge paragon path, and I thought it might be interesting as an option for Storm Sorcerers since it would make you do even more lightning damage to your foes?  I thought this could be interesting with a Half Elf who took Divine Bolts as his/her dilettante power since this could work well, to do massive damage to a single target.  

However the Lightning Fury path still seems like its a better path since you the level 16 feature is better, and can't be gained with a simple implement like a Thunderburst Dagger...

I may be thinking of something else, but isn't storm scourge INT based and therefore totally worthless for sorcerers?

Absolutely nothing about this path is worthwhile for a Sorc, look elsewhere.

Like maybe the PP that only Storm Sorcs can get - Lightning Fury.

How competitive is demonskin adept as a PP if you are going to play a dex secondary sorcerer? Haven't committed to wild or storm yet (and realize you could be a storm sorc for both), but is the level 16 so ridiculously abusable it blows the other sorc PPs (minus rebreathing) out of the water? I like the nova capability of demonskin adept, though i'm not sure i love having to wield a staff because of robe of eyes. Just wondering.

Lightning Fury is for the riposte-stacking build, essentially. If that's not your angle, you may favor demon skin.

Of course, I could make a similar one for Robe of Eyes. "Oh noes, you got Blinded. Flame Spiral?!"

I would appreciate one, but mostly for comedic purposes haha. Got a good chuckle out of that.

I actually screwed that up, all the No's on the right should lead to a second "Is there more than 1 target in burst 2?", Yes: Flame Spiral. No: Ensorcelled Blade.

That's what I get for having beer for breakfast.

Where does the flowchart start? From the top or somewhere else?
Mountain Cleave Rule: You can have any sort of fun, including broken, silly fun, so long as I get to have that fun too (e. g., if you can warp reality with your spells, I can cleave mountains with my blade).
