This is a very simple Heavy Attack build that combines the Ardent Flame, Siphoning, and Storm Calling skill lines to create a character capable of 60k DPS, while remaining survivable enough to solo most content in the game. This is a relatively low budget build that does not require any scribed skills, expensive potions, expensive food, or trial gear.
Keep Burning Ember, Critical Surge and Cauterize up at all times. Cast Wall of Elements in between each Heavy Attack. Do not use Leeching Strikes or Power Overload, they are slotted for the passives.
If you are doing easier content and you want to trade some survivability for more DPS you can swap the Siphoning skill line with the Assassination skill line. Slot Merciless Resolve in place of Leeching Strikes. The rotation remains the same, but you will cast Merciless Resolve each time it is ready.
If you are doing more difficult content and would like to trade some DPS for more survivability, you can swap out your Storm Master set for either Briarheart or Order's Wrath.
