Notes

Stormbind is a unique and potentially powerful skill in Path of Exile. 
While it may require some getting used to, its combination of cast speed, area of effect, and Mana management can lead to an exceptional character. 
Whether it becomes your ideal League starter will depend on your affinity for its playstyle. 
But, without a doubt, Stormbind has the capability to shine as a fearsome bossing and invitation farming character when equipped with the mighty Indigon. 
As we await the upcoming league and patch notes, Stormbind's future remains a compelling and exciting prospect for many Exiles.

Pros:
Strong single-target damage against bosses.
High potential for clearing invitations and decimating bosses.
Unique playstyle for those seeking a challenging experience.
Not commonly played, making it an exciting and niche choice.
The build can be powerful once you acquire the Indigon helmet.

Cons:
Awkward playstyle that requires some time to get used to.
The build may lack clear speed compared to other popular builds.
The gearing might be expensive for optimal performance.
Relies heavily on the Indigon helmet for its full potential.

Skill Mechanics and Scaling:
Stormbind is a unique channeling skill that places runes on the ground. These runes can be charged up with a secondary skill, Rune Blast, which explodes the runes in a powerful area of effect blast.

To make Stormbind a successful build, focus on the following scaling mechanics:

Cast Speed: Higher cast speed allows for faster placement and charging of runes.
Area of Effect: Increased area of effect enhances the size of rune explosions.
Mana Costs: Endogon can ramp up the Mana cost, allowing for quicker rune charges.

Playstyle Tips:
Stormbind requires a two-step process: placing runes and then charging them with Rune Blast.
Utilize the Indigon helmet to ramp up the Mana cost and instantly charge runes for massive damage.
Practice and get used to the playstyle to fully enjoy the build's potential.
For maximum effectiveness, focus on single-target boss fights and invitation farming.
