Calm Before the Storm

The scaling of this Build is very usual. You want to get as much Cooldown Reduction, Vulnerable and Critical Strike Damage, as well as Lucky Hit Chance and Ranks for your main Skills and Passives. Landslide is Earth Skill, so any boosts to Earth and Nature Damage will be helpful too. The Poison in this Build is used only as a way to enable certain conditions for your Skills, so don't invest in Damage over Time in any way.
To improve Defense you should aim for total Armour, maximum Life, and any variant of Damage Reduction you can get. Life on Kill is also a decent option to improve your sustain a bit. Since you use a lot of triggers, maximum Spirit or Spirit Cost Reduction is not necessary, although it is still useful if you happen to have it on your gear anyway.

In your Weapon, you would want to Socket Sapphire or Emerald. Both are equally good. If you can easily sustain Fortify, you should use Sapphires in your Armour, otherwise use Rubies.

Inexorable Force(Devious Heart) - conveniently pulls all nearby Enemies when you use your Ultimate Ability.

The Barber(Wrathful Heart) - currently one of the strongest Hearts for every Build in the game. It stores all the Damage you dealt with in a short time and amplifies it to one powerful hit.

Revenge(Brutal Heart) - another insanely powerful Heart. It basically reduces all Damage you take by up to 20% and deals additional Damage when you use the Defensive Skill.

OPTIONAL UNIQUE ITEMS

Greatstaff of the Crone(Weapon) - allows you to use Claw as your Main builder ability. It improves the consistency of the Build as you will reset Cooldowns more often but provides less Damage than a proper Legendary Weapon.

+Damage to Close Enemies

+Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies

+Non-Physical Damage

+Ranks to Claw

Claw is now a Storm Skill and also casts Storm Strike at [120 - 150%] normal damage.

1st Board -Starting Board

Here you will want to grab Damage Nodes and Glyph Socket. You can also take additional Defenses if you have enough points to spare.

Glyphs - It is a decent spot to use the Exploit Glyph. It makes applying Vulnerability much easier.

2nd Board - Heightened Malice Board
Legendary Node in the Down Right corner

Nodes - The Heightened Malice greatly improves your Damage while there are at least 3 nearby Enemies. You should pick nearby Rare Nodes that boost your Damage against Elites and Poisoned Enemies such as Overturn or Stinking Fangs.

Glyphs - here you can socket the Spirit Glyph that gives you extra Critical Strike Damage. Try to boost it up with nearby Dexterity Nodes.

3rd Board - Earthen Devastation Board

Nodes - the Legendary Node here boosts only the Damage you deal with Landslides summoned by Trample, but it is still a worthy pick. You can also take nearby useful Rare Nodes like Battleworn Hide, Grizzly, Zealeous, or Spearhead.

Glyphs - The Earth and Sky Glyph slightly boosts nearby Magic Nodes, but it is used mostly for the second bonus of that Glyph, which increases your Damage against Crowd Controlled or Vulnerable opponents.

5th Board -Inner Beast Board
