The Skill tree above shows my current preferred skill setup. It is tested and works well.



Attention: The build above is not for a low level Storm, I recommend using this build at around 35+ when she has access to Refreshing Breeze and thundering maelstrom.


I have played most of the characters in the game and I must say Storm is by far the best DPS/ Survivability character I played. The Hulk is the only one who has better DPS than Storm from what I've seen.

Skills:

Option 1:

The Primary Attack of this build is of course Thundering Malstrom(or Ball Lightning). Activate TM and fly around killing everything is sight. Very straightforward.

This is the best build for a true killing machine. The only thing you might change is "Lighting Storm", because Lighting Storm takes too much spirit you might choose to use "Lighting Column" but you will loose some damage in the process.
I am kinda of split on these two skills. I have been using Lighting Storm but I am thinking of switching to Lightning Column because that thing take way too much spirit when you have to use it on bosses.

I use the Buffeting Zephyr to send Wizards projectile right back at him, which is probably my favorite part about Storm.

Edit : I have switched to using "Lightning Column", and I have to say it is much better than "Lightning Storm". The damage is less but you can keep hitting over and over with no spirit cost. It has been remarkably useful against bosses in MM and mob leaders. I use "Crashing Hail" to freeze them and then I hit them with "Lighting Column". Also you can gear up to get awesome affixes for basic attacks. It's a win win win situation.

Use "Windy Flight" for travel long distances and "Sirooco Rush" for fights (for dodging attacks quickly).

Gear:

This build in not that gear specific but you want to aim for high critical damage/ high power duration. This will aid in making your flying killing machine even stronger. Also try to get as much +skills obviously.

A great strategy that works for me with huge mobs is summoning N'Garai demons. You get them from cosmic items. When you are hitting everything on the screen they automatically get summoned and fight for you. They provide a great distraction for you, while the mobs/boss attacks them you can fly around killing.

Another important thing for this build is speed, even though we have decent defense and health, we are not a tank, so we want to be moving as fast as we can. So besides the critical and power duration, keep an eye out for good + speed as well.

That's about it for the build itself.

I hope you love her as much as I do. Feel free to criticize anything I have said here, I am open to suggestions. Enjoy !

If you dislike the Build, don't just vote it down like a 5 year old, tell me how I can make it better.


Thanks.
