1h/Shield Warder - Savagery. Better with Cunning or Spirit

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

All in the title bbies. Making a sword/shield warder, using savagery. What will I benefit from most?

Phys/Cunning or Phys/Spirit?

Also if I decide to go pets, does spirit have anything to do with how tough my pets are?

Also, if on some chance I don’t go warder, how good is soldier as a stand alone class?

Whew, 84 views, no replies.

Is the community filled with mostly new players like myself and simply no one knows the answer?

nope.

So, does that mean the community is mostly unhelpful or apathetic then?

I’ve tried looking it up on the wiki myself, but there is no real good instance of saying what ends of being the ‘better’ for dps output or overall versatility when it comes to hybrid physical/magical abilities.

You will need some kind of area dmg skill with savagery.
If you plan on using blitz or forcewave then put points in cunning otherwise for storm totem or wind devil put the points in spirit.

It depends on skill setup you’re going to use. Are you aiming for Oleron’s rage, what will be your devotion setup? If you haven’t sertain build in mind then I advise you not to spend any points unless you need them to equip some really good gear for your level AND you have no other ways of getting them. Cause the issue of wrongly spent attributes and unability to equip some good set legendaries is common.

My s&b warder with savagery uses 40-20-rest but I don’t use Oleron’s so cunnig is mostly for OA. But after some changes now attributes give more bonus to damage so maybe it would be better to spend more in spirit. It all depends.

PS. As AOE skill I use Anvil proc and Avenger relic. Avenger is pretty end game but anvil is very good in early stages.
