Does anyone any how squeeze in +2 more savagery? The build capped at 20/16 savagery skill level. I can get +2 from a rylok crest to make it 22/16 but 2 more seems impossible.

Maxing Savagery isnt really worth it, it would add a small WD multiplier, but you lose far too much stats for that. And this build already has insane DPS. It has almost 250k tooltip DPS, but its REAL DPS is probably ~350k due to WPS, as well as very high OA and crit damage.

[1.1.9.2 - 1.1.9.4] Budget Physical Two-Handed Melee Savagery Archon

Introduction Archon (Shaman, Oathkeeper) is one of the few remaining classes without budget build / leveling guide in the Beginner build guides Compendium (for AoM + FG expansions). This untenable situation is hereby to be brought to an end. As a class with dual resist reduction (vitality, bleeding, elemental), two attack skills of its own, as well as a few support skills, it’s theoretically not a weak class. However, the class is not that popular lately and relatively few endgame builds are po…

Can someone kindly describe the devotion pathing for this build please? If possible for both the current version & the Empyrion version. Thanks a lot!

@srulz

Empyrion version.

Someone (@Gnomish_Inquisition ) is already about to explain it to you. I just wanted to say that Empyrion version is inferior to the current one and is there as an example of how many different specs I tried before figuring out the optimal one.

[Gnomish_Inquisition]

just work your way inside out, take tier1 stars first (inner ones), then graduate to take tier2 devos, - use temporary filler devos if necessary, then fill out all the tier2s ("middle ring"devos/devos that require more than 1pt to unlock), finally fill in tier3s/outer edge devos/devos with high affinity requirement but no affinity reward
doing it this way, regardless of the devo map, will always lead you to a complete followed devo route

Thanks for explaining how to fish, instead of just providing the fish. I understand now, and this will help immensely in knowing the paths for other endgame build guides as well.
