1.0.0.2 | Warder Hybrid Tank + Damage | In progress

[nanut]

Hi guys, this is my hybrid Warder build (tanky and damage) at level 40. I am farming my character and keep updating my build in the future. So if you interested in my build, please following mt thread. Thanks

This is my Skill tree and Devotion build (at level 42):
http://grimcalc.com/build/uPcl3v

1.Devotions

• Crossroads (1 point in Order)
• Tortoise
• Bull
• Sailor’s Guide
• Shieldmaiden
• Solemn Watcher
• Obelisk of Menhir (in progress)

2. Items

Shown in my video.

All items need Physic and Health for tanking.
+Physic damage or +Trauma damage or +Bleeding damage are all good for this build.

3. Stats priority

I add almost points in Physic and some points in Spirit for wearing Rings and Amulet at current level.

4. Gameplay

Main skill is “Savagery”. I add max point in this skill for low level farming. This skill might be changed in the future.

Use “Blitz” to face the enemies then hit by “Savagery”

The AoE damage comes from “Zolhan’s Technique” and “Bull” devotion proc.

When your HP is too low “Tortoise” will proc shield to avoid fatal damage.

5.My video

This is my build video:

I will keep this build up to level 75 even 85. So if you are interested in this build, please follow my thread and my channel.

Thanks for spending time !

Update level 60

http://grimcalc.com/build/fI9vsd

1.Devotions

• Crossroads (1 point in Order, 1 point in Ascendant)
• Tortoise
• Bull (withBull Rush)
• Sailor’s Guide
• Shieldmaiden
• Solemn Watcher
• Obelisk of Menhir ( “Stone Form” status of this Devotion very OP, it helped me harder when tanking crowds)
• Hammer
• Anvil (in progress)

2. Some comments about my skills build

• Soldier

  • Because this is a tank and damage build so at this level I prefer “Menhir’s Bulwark” than “Oleron’s Rage”. This buff can help me tanky at lower level. Maybe I will change those two skills at higher level.
  • You can see I added 1 point in “Field Command” because I want “Squad Tactics” modifier, this skill helps me more damage and Attack Speed.
  • All passive skills I just added 1 point for bonus because it will be effective when I gained “+1 Soldier skill” from gears.

• Shaman

  • At “Savagery” skill tree, I fixed and add max points in “Tenacity of the Boar”. I did this to gain max HP regen from this skill. I don’t really need damage from “Savagery”, just to proc “Bull Rush” from “Bull” devotion.

  • I try adding 1 point in “Wendigo Totem” for regen. This totem help me regen 2% + 60 HP per 0,5s.

3. Items

Shown in my video.

All items need Physic and Health for tanking.
+Physic damage or +Trauma damage or +Bleeding damage are all good for this build.
At this update, my gears were pretty strong. Some sets I used:
+ The Praetorian set.
+ Adornments of Valiance set.

About components: I just use the component which increases resis. Especially Vitaly, Chaos, Aether, Poison.

4. Stats priority

At level 60 I just add 10 points in Spirit and all extant points in Physic.

My Level 70 Update

http://grimcalc.com/build/FDvBkP

1.Devotions

• Crossroads (1 point in Order, 1 point in Ascendant)
• Tortoise
• Bull (withBull Rush)
• Sailor’s Guide
• Shieldmaiden
• Solemn Watcher
• Obelisk of Menhir ( “Stone Form” status of this Devotion very OP, it helped me harder when tanking crowds)
• Hammer
• Anvil (with Targo’s Hammer)
• Crab (with Elemental Barrier)

2. Some comments about my skills build

• Soldier
  • Because this is a tank and damage build so at this level I prefer “Menhir’s Bulwark” than “Oleron’s Rage”. This buff can help me tanky at lower level. Maybe I will change those two skills at higher level.

Currently:
I tried “Oleron’s Rage” at level 70 but it worked not very good so “Menhir’s Bulwark” maybe fixed for this build.

 + You can see I added 1 point in ["Field Command"](http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Field_Command_(Skill)) because I want ["Squad Tactics"](http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Squad_Tactics_(Skill)) modifier, this skill helps me more damage and Attack Speed.
 + All passive skills I just added 1 point for bonus because it will be effective when I gained "+1 Soldier skill" from gears.

For the next update, I will change my passives build for balancing between Damage and Tank. This build currently gets a low damage

• Shaman

  • At “Savagery” skill tree, I changed and add max points in “Storm Touched” for Attack Speed and Damage.

3. Items

Shown in my video.

All items need Physic and Health for tanking.
+Physic damage or +Trauma damage or +Bleeding damage are all good for this build.

At this update. Some sets I used:

• Judicator’s Signets
• Dawnbreaker’s Light
• Justicar Armor
  About components: I just use the component which increases resis. Especially Vitaly, Chaos, Aether, Poison.

4. Stats priority

Dude your damage is waaayyy too low for a hybrid build.
And Dawnbreaker set for a physical build, really?
Wendigo totem gives ridiculous regen, it makes Tenacity of the Boar look like a joke, especially without Tree of Life and Behemoth procs, and you only put 1 point in it?
God, do you know that everytime someone play a Warder without maxing Heart of the Wild, a kitten dies?

//Việt Nam hả?

Agreed.
For this build, damage too low - understood is a tank+dmg build, but I didn’t see any points into shield training or overguard…devotion wise…no giant’s blood or tree of life, no proc from block? 1 point into Wendigo makes me wonder how you gonna heal yourself when facing tough boss

Seem my damage still too low. Actually I changed my skill build a little bit at level 70. No more point in “Wendigo Totem” and “Tenacity of the Boar”.

I didn’t want to get “Tree of Life” or “Behemoth” yet cause my toughness was not very bad.

I’m considering what weapon and shield should be used for this build. This build is going to be changed and updated for the next level.

Thanks guys help me so much !

@actuanpanda: Em Việt Nam đây :D.

Your build needs to be reworked. You will realize that on ultimate level. DPS is low and health regen in low. You are writing a guide, yet it seems you have no understanding of how some basic mechanics work on higher levels. When people point that out, your answer is to ignore those comments more or less.

That aside, posting all the details of a guide on a video is just lazy. Some people still like to read!

:eek: I will challenge you on “my toughness was not very bad” - your DA and armor are not high enough, you don’t have any effective HP regen or healing skill…and you are not even range !!!

2400 DA is high enough in my book. Plus his video has dope intro. However with that OA he can barely hit Stephen Hawking for a living.

Actually in my Level 70 video, I am running with Ultimate “Steps of Torment”. I realize that I can tank, but as you told my build needs to be reworked because its damage currently too low.
Thanks for your comment.

Yea, I must fix my OA, it was really low. Thank you.

My video for this update:

-Why do you take Blades of Nadaan when you don’t do any significant pierce damage at all? Btw, Tempest sucks.
-Still no Wendigo Totem? Put some points in it asap…One of the best Shaman skill out there. Likewise, Overguard needs some points too

• Get rid of the whole War Cry line and put a Kymon’s will augment in your amulet instead.
• Savagery deserved to be maxed out. Field command, too, best buff ever.
• Killing Log with tons of consumables is not very impressive I think, any decent Warder can kill almost anything on Ultimate without any steroid pots.
