Relatively straight to the point post here. There was an Ultos thread on reddit the other day where Warder was brought up and immediately shit talked. I actually think warder is a solid choice for Ultos, but made me realize other than Druid I hadn’t tried any full Ultos builds. So here is a modern times Conjurer and catalyst for the [Challenge] The Ultos Throwdown! Looks like @Nery had the last Conjurer on the forums. We have similar gear and devo choices but skills differ as I no longer enjoy savagery weaving.

Highlights: We skip standard storm shepherd and aether conversion to lean into conjurer flat potential. Brandis chains gets us vit conversion for second right and blood pact, giving us potentially the highest sheet damage Ultos class, 2x RR, attack speed, and a heal+phys res. On the downside, we get no source of damage reduction outside the boots, so this is more fragile than its Ultos cousins. High CDR and Ghoul put in work here for the occasional burst situation, while PS damage plus the hand of ultos and eye of korvaak combo keep passive leech happening. It’s not going to win for highest SR push, but plenty survivable in SR75-76 and crucible. Props to @Crittrain for brainstorming on devo tweaks and pushing more through my normal Ghoul hate. Good CDR and uncapped attack speed are my benchmarks for giving it serious consideration.
