High Society - Weatherman build help

Back again having leveled two toons to 40 with the double xp weekend.
I'm looking for some advice on two more powers that might compliment my build. I'd like to keep all the current attacks I've already picked, they suit me at melee and range, and I can shuffle through them for some continuous AoE DoT type damage. I can't remember all the advantages I've picked (up to Lv28 right now), but they compliment the "DoT", causing certain powers to stay around after they've been maintained for a certain point.

Mostly, I need help with Talents and Super Stats. I'm not sure if I should go Ego over Dex, I picked Dex for more frequent crits, but as I understand it Ego will probably help better due to my powers being ranged. So, if I can get some help on Talent, Super Stats and more coherent powers, that would be most appreciated.

    Hey,

    Okay this is more of a personal take on your build as I know it is a themed build and some of my additions may go away from that slightly.

    Personally I feel the best thing to do on champions is have a smaller amount of actual skills and then the rest are just other skills that work around the main ones. Sparkstorm and whirlwind work well for this although I took out snow storm just because it cannot be used at the same time as lightning storm, sorry if this is a skill you wanted to keep.

    The skills I added as the last 3 were dark transfusion - this may not be an obvious choice, and yes you do hit damage to yourself with it, but it can be really great seeing as I removed intelligence. Sonic device - a great skill to work with lightning storm like the others, just use it before battle and you'll kill things in seconds, and finally force shield with force sheathe for the obvious reasons of blocking and energy. I think ego primary with dex and end secondary is the best way to go for this build although your energy may fall lots it is the reason I added dark transfusion.

    I don't know if this would work as it is only in theory although for hitting lots of damage you want lots of side skills to back up the main ones.

    Thank you for taking the time to check this out. I really appreciate advice or takes on my builds whenever I get them. When I grab powers, sometimes I confuse what I'm reading in their descriptions, or I just don't plain understand them, so I like seeing a more cohesive take on what I was trying to originally accomplish.

    The original Super Stats I picked, I picked because the powers needed a lot of energy. I'm definitely going to try your take on it. It suits my original plan much better; lots of crit damage.

    Thanks again for offering your take! =0)
