You are right. I haven't played for a while. This is an outdated build now. I tried a match with PVP and totally got my ass kicked. I'll test and update after finals.

hi, love this storm build :) but..... with the way that TM works now (more spirit and everything), i feel that even with the super soldier serum and even with spirited, i feel that storm runs out of spirit pretty easily. don't you think you should change the activated x-gene, given the changes to TM? there's one that restores spirit when you use a medkit, so I feel like that would be a much better option, in regards to keeping up spirit.
One more thing i'd like to ask everybody's opinion (since i'm only lvl 46, and ain't got the chance to lay hands on some artifacts yet). How about replacing super soldier serum (SSS in brief) with power prism shard? Considering you will have some invulnerability effect coming from cosmic items or something else, and taking into account the relic of lemuria and refreshing breeze giving u a fair amount of sustain, i think the durability of SSS is a little bit overkill if u ask me. Plus i noticed myself (tell me if any1 else has seen that) that when using thundering maelstrom for a handful of 5-10 seconds in a row, the spirit regen starts working as if you are out of combat, thus the ability is not costing spirit at ALL! With those 2 factors into account, do u think it's worth replacing SSS with power prism shard for MOAR CRITZ, RADIUZ AND DAMAGEZ?
Hey dude, that's a nice spec you are showing there. That's the one i'm using myself, but i'd like to make a suggestion for a slight change. The 6 points you have spent on ball lightning are, in my humble opinion, useless. Since you have thundering maelstrom maxed out and crushing hail (for spirit using abilities) you are most likely to use a 20 point spell rather than a 6 point spell. So those 6 points could go to either Turbulent Winds (you get half the effect since we are not using any wind powers, but it's better to have a speedbuff on dodger rather than nothing) or to Stunning bolt for the sunergy on stunning chance it has with Lighting Column. What are your thoughts on that?
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.
