I’m getting ready to roll a new character and I’m thinking of going something like this:
https://grimcalc.com/build/OayI4o
Any critique is welcome, but constructive is always better 
I’m not sure how many +skills I’m getting since I’m going untwinked so actual spends in skills may vary.
I would dump storm totem and max out scars of battle, field of command, then 1 point in wind devil + 12 in raging tempest. Totem is better for killing trash since the tornados don’t do a lot of damage with 1 point and we can kill shit fast enough as is without any further debuffs, but for killing small compact mobs or bosses/nemesis the wind devil will do better. Maxing scars/field is pretty good. We get extra OA/DA (we loooove OA cause we love to crit due to stormcallers), 5% armor, 10% extra absorption which means we hit 100 with a scaled hide on one of our armor alots
If and when you need more OA you can take hawk and/or 4 points in in dying god for 100 OA, 6% OA, and 25 spirit/8% crit dmg.
So wind devil is for debuffing then? Does that stack with the debuff from Arcane bomb?
I have no cold damage so the raging tempest will do no damage. Is it still worth it?
Viper, Bomb, and Wind Devil will all stack.
Totally worth! 35 reduced lightning is pretty significant. For really lightning resistant enemies and purple/red guys it’s way better than totem. Primal strike with swoop/kraken/bomb/viper is going to tear apart mobs anyway. Don’t think totem is gonna improve your mob kill time by much, but this will significantly improve kill times on tough guys and even though the tornados aren’t as useful vs mobs it’s not entirely wasted. The debuff is quite short unless being reapplied, but the nado will wander around applying it to various people while our torrent, spear, and any other aoe shit goes around
edit: Just realized I forgot to mention veterancy/decorated soldier are a waste, put those into conditioning, menhirs, or fighting spirit depending on what you want/need. You are gonna be pumping a ton of physique should have no issues with gear reqs, the health regen is cute but we are already super tank. Decorated soldier is just not worth doesn’t give you jack, if you have +all or +soldier it can be a one pointer to cap out your ele resist if need be but besides that I would stay away.
Also I’m sure this is obvious af, but get as many points into primal, stormcallers, and torrent in that order. You can get some pretty beast damage if you overmax them to decent levels
Per suggestions above I have updated to this:

Edit: Thanks for the help!
Just wanted to add that 1 point in storm totem with all +skills willl result in ~7/16 of it, which may be worth a point. E.g. when fighting Moose I never bother touching that freezing turrets, even when I’m in freeze totem kills them instead.
Will try when the build has matured a bit. Currently level 20 so I have a long way to go.
Thanks for all the help!
