1. Introduction

As mentioned in the description, this build is indeed a valid endgame farmer as you can see in the next picture it has no problem with clearing SR 76.

2. Gear + Grimtools link

Cyclone set and Cindertouch are obviously mandatory for all that conversion to Lightning damage.
The green ring can easily be swapped out for another Mythical Glyph of the Storm Witch, I just had this very ring lyinga round in my stash and thought it fits very well. Same goes for the boots, these can be swapped for Stormbearers. Since the rest is purple gear its easy to get (or at least easy to trade for).

3. How to level up and distribution of points

Attribute Points:
We need 5 points in Cunning to bea ble to equip Mythical Stormheart and 25 points in Spirit to equip Cyclone's Effigy, the rest goes into Physique.

Devotion Points:
In order to pick (+) or drop (-) constellations
Crossroad Purple (+)
Toad
Crossroad Purple (-)
Crossroad Pink (+)
Lizard
Viper
Crossroad Pink (-)
QuillCrossroad Blue(+)
Tempest

Widow
Chariot
Solemn Watcher
Jackal
Behemoth (3 points)
Rhowan's Crown (3 points)
Ultos (5 points)

One of my favorite devotion proc to skills combinations has to be Reckless Tempest bound to Storm Totem, I swear you have to bind this together.

4. Skills and play with this build

Skills:
Offensive Skills: Eye of Reckoning, Storm Totems
Defensive Skills: Resilience
Debuffs: Wind Devil (Raging Tempest)
Buffs: Ascension
Passives: Mogdrogens Pact, Stormcallers Pact, Presence of Virtue, Stormcaller Aura

How to play:
Cast Wind Devil, charge into combat with Vire's Might, cast some Totems, activate Ascension and go spin to win with Eye of Reckoning.
Pretty simple you would think? But its just as effective

5. The End

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my guide.

If you're having as much fun in this game as I do make sure to rate this guide and add to your favorites, this would mean really much to me :)

Anyway, if you have any improvements, ideas, suggestions, etc...
let me know in the comments.

6. Important stuff for new players

  1. Get your resistances up
  2. Use components while leveling
  3. Armor absorption should be as high as possible (100%)
  4. Survivability >>> DPS (always!)
  5. Focus on only one or two damage types

The order of events for Conversion is as follows: Base Skill > Skill Modifiers > Conversion on the Skill or Transmuter > Conversion on Equipment and Buffs > Equipment, Auras and Passives

There's a lot more to it, but I'm sure you will figure it out :)
