lookin’ really cool, man! gz

Hey, any particular factions I should join, or does it matter with this build? Seeing as this build is centered around vitality, I would assume The Order of Death’s Vigil, right?

Thanks for a great guide! I notice you recommend the Raven devotion. Is that just for the Offensive Ability? I am thinking that the pet buffs won’t apply to Guardians of the Empyrion…only player stats, am I right?

Hey there buddy, loving the build as a first timer!! Did you forget to clarify that you put 5 more pts into the Shaman Mastery to unlock Storm Surge, (remove 1 pt from PS and put it into Wendigo Totem if you want to) and 1 into Mogdrogens Pact and add x pts to Storm Surge then the rest into the Oathkeeper Mastery for levels 20-30??

Hi there ! ty for the reply! yeah, i think i forgot to mention this on this section of the leveling guide, ty for reminding me :handshake: but i’m relieved to know that despite you’re playing the game for the first time, you figured out exactly what to do even with this missing information

In the videos, what are those skills you have bound to B and RT? One of them looks like a gap closer? Sorry if this is obvious, I’m new to the game.

Hi there! Ty for the reply. If you’re talking about bat and rattosh devotions, they’re bound to summon guardian of empyrion and storm totem, respectively

54

Thanks for the response! That wasn’t it, but you did give me a clue where to look. I was referring to the Wendigo Rush skill from your augment. TIL!

Ah yeah, wendigo rush is a random blueprint drop. But you have the emblem of the charging bull that gives you the RUSH skill early on, just buy it from solael cult on FG DLC, it’s very useful

56

I’ve got the devotions you specified but then you just mentioned Rattosh, which looks great! But I have only 3 points left and Rattosh will require 6. Is there something else we can remove besides eel?
…like maybe remove Scales of Ulcama?

Can u send me the Grimtools link of your current char? It would be easier for me to help

58

I’ve not used it before but will try:

It doesn’t seem to show Devotions…
…but right now it seems pretty powerful. I did take off Scales of Ulcama (except for 1 pt.) and added Rattosh.

All right! Well, you can use the left side of abomination if you want, but it gives you acid and poison damage bonuses and we do not have this type of dmg on this build. Tip the scales gives you vitality RR and energy sustain, so it can be way more useful

60

Okay, I did go down the left side of abomination. I could use the energy so I’ll revisit the Scales of Ulcama. Thanks for taking the time…this is a fun build!
