Has anyone tried a 2H Ritualist Build? (Shaman / Necro) i was wondering if the Necro Passives Reaping Strike and Necrotic Edge would work with Savagery or Primal Strike at all?
My intial idea was to go for Savagery, Primal Strike and the Totems plus Mogdrogens Pact etc, then take Reaping Strike and Necrotic Edge from Necro alongside Spectral Binding and Mark of Torment.
Damage types would end up Vit / Lightning and Phys i guess? wondering if this is even viable? i was going to check Grim Tools for items that would compliment this build, but if its been tried and its not going to work i wont bother
Been thinking about trying a Cold 2H melee Ritualist at some point myself by using Korba armour to convert Savagery into Cold, and then alternating between Savagery and Bone Harvest as the charges/Soul Harvest basically allow them to buff each other. No idea if it’d work well in practice, but it sounds fun to me on paper at least. :rolleyes:
Edit: I suppose if you go the Mythical Bane of the Winter King route, you might be able to get some sort of hybrid build out of it as both the sword and Soul Harvest will also buff your pets. Theoretically, anyway. I don’t really play pet/hybrid builds so I wouldn’t really know how to go about making a good one. Either way, it all sounds very specific-gear-requirement-heavy. :eek:
I’m only on act 4 elite, but I’ve had no issues so far with my 2H vitality Ritualist. My health drops frequently (I have almost no resists right now), but I’ve got enough adcth that one bone harvest will fill 75% or more of my health bar. Damage output is nice with plenty of resist reduction. Should be a solid build for ultimate at least. Will have to see how it fares in crucible.
ETA: There’s a spectral green that gives +2 seconds to siphon duration. Miiight go with that instead of wildwood crusher and drop the transmuter from siphon. Mostly only using it because I’d really prefer 100% uptime, but a short gap would be livable.
