I am working through the Devotion stuff exactly as listed above, it is not working the way you have it spelled out. I can not remove purple and scholar’s light because one is required for Kraken and one for Ulzaad.
Can we please get an update here. I am new to the game and it still confuses me some.
Just retested and is still working, make sure you haven’t missed a step. To remove purple and green and still keep Kraken, you need to have first all 5 points in Ulzaad and full Hawk.
I love seeing strong Witchblade builds because “Witchblade” is just the coolest name for a class in the game (even if I’m ultimately a Purifier/Pyromancer at heart).
It’s given as part of a quest reward in the Ashes of Malmouth expansion. You will also get one which allows you to reset your devotions for free from another AoM quest.
I forgot name of potions but you get two of them each difficulty level doing Ashes of Malmouth quests, blue resets attributes and purple one devotions. One of them was granted in quest of saving Amala’s(?) father.
Tonic of Reshaping(blue) for attribute reseting, Tonic of Clarity(purple) for devoting reseting. You’ll get one of each from the quests in every difficulty(Maybe even 2 Clarity 1 reshaping not sure). However, eventually you’ll have more Clarity and less Reshaping so use wisely
Poor Boris, his axes are, yet again, sorta useless.
But then again same thing applies to most, if not all, Soldier attack skills.
Everything 1-hander does zweihander does better.
Granted playstyle needs to be a bit reckless, but outside reta it feels always better to kill fast than it is to turtle.
But how about Forcewave?
Can’t really come up any situation where 1-H Forcewave would be a thing…
Well, possibly havin full Guardsman set to level.
But back to topic…
Kinda curious 'bout the undead, am I going to run into much trouble with them?
Typically skip whole AU & SoT with anything Bleed releated.
DoT damage is where 1-handed Forcewave operates best alongside other DoT sources. But as a singular main skill, 2-handed is going to be better again.
I haven’t followed this specific build but when I levelled a Bleeder months back, I didn’t have problems with Undead as your weapon and most skills/procs still do a good chunk of Physical/Internal Trauma damage and you get some Physical RR out of Curse of Frailty (or Celestial Presence for Oathkeepers).
On the other hand, I did get Kilrian to spawn with this nightmare:
