Hello there. Always good to see folks trying to relearn champs after a bad experience with them. (like me a kog, one of my faves now :p)

Typically you should go full burst mage and max Death Ray first for it's superior range and damage. Then Power Transfer and a single point in Gravity field when you expect ganks. If you have enough damage on your team and go support (with Augment: Gravity) you'd usually max Field after Ray for greater utility. The remake seems to focus on improving his less popular augments, maybe adding more tiers. His abilities shouldn be untouched.

I'm afraid I haven't payed much attention to when the first stack is. I'd like to know too.

You don't have to wait to recast. Pressing R will move the storm to the cursor. You can do this as quickly as you wish. Like Tibbers I assume you meant alt-click? I haven't tried.

Smart cast does affect it at first. (still learning it myself) It sometimes won't work because unlike other skill shots you have to choose a starting position before it fires. Hold the key and it will show you the range and give you time to select a start point. You then aim and release as usual. Once you get used to it, it only takes a fraction of a second longer to smart cast than others. Even then it can still fail if you're too quick. It's one of the primary reasons people don't like him.

The runes are fine tough I prefer the MR/lvl glyphs. I hope I helped.
