1. Introduction

With a lot of Health and Defensive ability + the best 3 healing devotion procs this build is noob friendly and tanky af. Also its not the usual boring just press-one-button type of build, you actually have a lot to do, which makes it more interesting in my opinion.

2. Gear & Grimtools Link

GRIMTOOLS: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/xZynqxqN
The build has over 3000 OA when Deadly Aim procs and over 3000DA with Word of Renewal.

In regards to the Gear used, all of the Legendary items are mandatory, rest is rather hard to get and can be swapped out. The Stoneplate Greaves obviously don't have to be the exact same, I just had those lying around and used them.

3. How to level up and distribution of points

Skill points:
This build is rather easy to level since you can use Box of Elgoloth from the start on and when you are able to pick up the Storm Totem skill it will be even easier. So you pick Inquisitor as your first class and go straight for the Box. Equally invest points in the Shaman Mastery Bar, when youre at Inquisitor Seal you should be at Storm Totem in Shaman and from there you first max out the Shaman Bar and then spend the remaining points on Inquisitor.

Attribute Points:
Usually, you should go full physique, but this time we need 4 points in Cunning in order to equip our main hand weapon.

Devotion:
where to spend points (+) and drop points (-) in the right order:
Crossroad Blue (+)
Lizard
Crossroad Blue (-)
Eel
Sailors Guide
Crossroad Yellow (+)
Lion
Crossroad Yellow (-)
Crossroad Purple (+)
Empty Throne
Crossroad Purple (-)
Lotus
Hawk (+)
Chariot
Hawk (-)
Widow
Solemn Watcher
Tree of Life
Tempest (6 points)
Crossroad Pink
Behemoth (3 points to heal proc)

4. Skills and how to play

Offensive Skills:
Box of Elgoloth, Storm Totem, Wind Devil, Beronath's Fury, Storm Shard, Ultos' Arrival

Defensive Skills:
Wendigo Totem, Word of Pain, Inquisitor Seal

How to play:
Your main damage dealers are Box of Elgoloth and Storm Totems, don't forget to cast Wind Devil for that sweet resistance reduction (RR) and to stand in your Inquisitor Seal. Whenever you feel like you are missing out on some damage you can melee attack with the skill provided by Shard of Beronath. Make sure to use the Wendigo Totem and Word of Pain for heals and you will almost be unkillable.
Further, this build offers 3 healing devotion procs and lots of health + Defensive Ability (DA), which makes it extremely tanky for a hybrid caster.

6. Important stuff for new players

Get your resistances up
Use components while leveling
Armor absorption should be as high as possible (100%)
Survivability >>> DPS (always!)
Focus on only one or two damage types
There's a lot more to it, but I'm sure you will figure it out :)
