1. Introduction
2. Gear + Grimtools link
Grimtools (no greens): https://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNY5957N
Since this is a build without rare MI's it should be rather easy to get all of those items.
Updated so we not only have >80% stun res, but also ~80% slow res. (If you have a bad slow res roll on the trousers you can put one or two more points in conversion.)
Combined with over 3k OA, over 2k armor and enough DA (~2800) for most bosses this is a solid caster build.
3. How to level up and distribution of points
Skill Points:
For leveling you should get Olexaras Flash Freeze (OFF) and drop it later on at level 50-70ish when you feel like it doesn't do much damage anymore. Its one of the best AOE skills to clear trash mobs with. Also get Trozan's Sky Shard (TSS), since OFF doesnt affect bosses this will be your main attack. Get one point in Mirror as soon as you can, it can be a real life saver during boss fights or other critical situations (running through aether stuff etc.).
Attribute Points:
you can and should go full physique!
Devotion Points:
where to spend points (+) and drop points (-) in the right order:
Cross Pink (+)
Jackal (full)
Cross Purple (+)
Empty Throne
Cross Purple (-)
Cross Blue (+)
Lizard
Tempest
Quill
Cross Green (+)

Cross Green (-)
Widow
Hawk
Amatok

Behemoth (3 points to heal proc)
4. Skills and how to play with this build
Offensive Skills:
Your main attack is (quite obviously) Trozan's Sky Shard (TSS). Also we use Storm Totem to have no downtime in dps when TSS is on Cooldown. We use Wind Devil with the modifier Raging Tempest only for Resistance Reduction (RR). Star Pact for Cooldown Reduction (CDR). Elemental Balance for Crit Damage and increased Electrocute / Frostburn Damage.
Defensive Skills:
Wendigo Totem for better survivability, Mirror of Ereoctes for 3s of invulnerability, Mogdrogens Pact with Heart of the wild for more health, Nullification for removing your own debuffs and debuffing enemies.
How to play:
You want to be running around casting TSS whenever its possible and if its on cooldown you use Storm Totem for Damage and Wind Devil for RR. You should always cast as many Wind Devils as possible, resistance reduction is very important in this game. We also have another source for RR in this build, which is the proc Arcane Bomb from the Widow devotion. Make sure to bind this to TSS, so you have resistance reduction on your main dps skill as well.
Mirror of Ereoctes is the best panic button in the game, it grants 3 seconds of invulnerability, needless to say you should be using it a lot.
For quick heals you just use Wendigo Totem and stay near it, as it heals you x-amount per tick / per second.

6. Important stuff for newer 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 :)
