Ele Druid Strat - how to max the skills?

Hello,

I have recently built an Ele Druid and enjoy playing it. I read a guide on RpgForums.Net about how to build an ele druid, but I can't seem to cast spells at the level mentioned in the article. Perhaps someone can comment.

The guide is here:

So I seem to have problems reaching the skills, which the author mentions. He says he can cast at level 44. With all the equipment and twinking, I cast at level 36, I still need 3-4 Skill Charms, so max I will be able to get is level 40.

In other words, right now the amount of damage I deal is: Hurricane 2000-2100, Tornado 4100-4300. He says he got Hurricane @ 2600-2700 and Tornado @ 5800-6000 dmg. How I can possibly do that?

Here is my equipment:

Helm: Shako (+2 skill)
Amu: Mara (+2 skill)
Weapon: Hoto (+3 skill)
Shield: Spirit Runeword (+2 skill)
Armor: Viper (+1 skill)
Belt: Archanid (+1 skill)
Rings: Soj & Bul (+2 skill)
Gloves: Frost Fire
Boots: Sandstorm Treck

Charms: I got 3, but I want 7 eventually. Can you fit in more?

So total boost to skills is: 16, which makes me cast at level 36.

I would appreciate if someome can comment / discuss.
