Step1

Invest Stat Points. Calling down Storms takes intelligence, so be sure to put 1 point each level into intelligence. Your other point should go into strength for the first few levels, and then return to intelligence unless you are playing a melee character with Storm Nimbus.

Step2

Grab Storm Nimbus right away, then drop points into Storm Mastery until you hit level 16 mastery. At this point, you'll either want to choose a storm attack spell (Lightning Bolt or Ice Shard), or move to your secondary mastery for a melee attack.

Step3

As a spellcaster, max out your chosen tree (Lightning Bolt or Ice Shard) as well as Eye of the Storm for maximum elemental damage. Non-spellcasters will want to max out the Storm Nimbus tree. Either way, you'll want to maximize Squall and Obscured Visibility to deal with archers.

Step4

Suggested Secondary Masteries: Spirit Mastery, for the mighty Ternion attack. Defense Mastery, because spellcasters often lack good defense. Warfare Mastery, for lightning and ice imbued melee power.

Step5

Equipment: Staves often have a bonus to elemental damage, so if you are casting lightning or ice, pick a staff with the appropriate element. Rings can assist here as well. Constant casting will drain your mana swiftly, so energy regeneration gear is recommended.

Tips & Warnings

Squall is your best friend at higher difficulties; cast it on every enemy you see, and they'll rarely see you.
Energy Shield is only useful in a few situations. Your points are better spent in your other mastery.
