This is a staff build using lightning as it’s main source of damage and cold as it’s secondary source. Using the recommended armor pieces, the build has a lot of extra skills that allows having many skills and not all of them need to be allocated max points in order to have the maximum effectiveness.
While leveling, max out Ice Shard, Storm Nimbus, Squall and Call of the Wild, Heart of Oak, Refresh. The skills shown below account for increased skill points from the selected armor. If you need extra skill points, remove points from Summon Wisp, Briar Ward and Energy Shield.

This will be your starting class. While you do want to get later skills unlocked, the first 2 skills are conveniently some of the most important ones to this build. Put at least 1 point into the mastery bar every level, but level Ice Shard and Storm Nimbus. Squall is another useful skill, and shortly after getting lightning bolt to really round out the Storm class. If you want more pets, grab Summon Wisp too, but the Nature mastery should take precedence over going further with the storm mastery.
This will be your secondary class, but will remain an important class in the build regardless. Call of the Wild is one of the core skills in this build, allowing you to summon your first pets to help. The main other skill here is Heart of Oak, increasing health and movement speed. Briar Ward is very useful to heal and keep enemies away momentarily so you can breath.
