Hey folks
Been trying to do a single class totem only build. This is what I have so far
https://www.grimtools.com/calc/YVWQLWdN
I’ve had fun with it and am currently on my way to Homestead on Elite difficulty.
The build is essentially complete in terms of class skills, my main concern is survivability and going forward into the later difficulties.
Is it possible to maintain just Shaman or will I need another class? I’d like to keep my focus on Lightning so the only other class I think that can help is Arcanist? My Devotion choices are also pretty poor I think.
My current gameplay is to simply place down the totems and let them do their work 
I don’t use any attacking skills and I hope this can continue.
Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!
You could theoretically do shaman only, but it’s going to be very ugly and there’s no good reason to do it. Go inquisitor second. Stormbox is your new bff and ignaffar does some nice lightning damage too. Besides that grab all the passive stuff and aura of censure is amazing gives you ton of RR and massive dmg reduction which comes in handy for xpac content
Maxing blood pact is useless btw it adds damage/lifesteal to your weapon damage and you’ve got about 0 
Same goes for modrogen’s pact and oak skin, so many points for so little return. Energy problems and pierce res issues can be solved easily with component
Tsunami is kinda weak all around and dryad seems very unnecessary when you’ve got wendigo totem and lot of hp, behemoth is better option if you want to include a healer in devotions. Grab Rhowan’s crown, Widow, and Hand of Ultos asap
Thanks for the advice TomoDak, I’ll give it a shot! I wasn’t sure if ‘Attack Damage’ meant only from weapon damage or any of your damaging abilities so thank you for the clarification.
I mostly added the points to Modrogen/Oak because I didn’t have anything else to add and I thought the extra health regen would be useful. I’m guessing that without concentrated heath regen effort, there’s not much point in that?
Will check out the devotions and see how they go!
It might have some minor usefulness now, but more damage and health from 2nd mastery is better. Regen becomes quite useless later on unless you stack up quite a bit of it which is hard to do and/or pointless for most mastery combos
Very hard to go single class IMO :undecided:
