im currently lvl 51, doing elite usually in parties, I take a lot of damage. I currently have a 2h legendary rest are greens and blues.
I got 50 points in shaman and I think 20-30 in soldier… I can’t reset that so anyone have any advice for how to spec for good damage and good survivability…
You need to share way more about your build if you want people to help you, like your attack skill and your damage types.
If you take too much damage then you can apply 3 simple fixes that should help a lot, fight in a maxed wendigo totem, max heart of the wild and get menhirs will.
The next step would be defensive devotions and changing gear so you have good resistances.
Like others have already stated, please post a screenhoot of your gear/resists on elite and your Grim Calc setup, along with which devotions you are using.
I am also playing as a 2-handed warder, so I can provide you with my info and experince, but I need the other infos first.
you need to be sure if ur physical or lightning though and itemize for it, or ur just weak.
feral hunger is important to have some lifesteal which helps survive.
dont mass health, high resistances are much more important.
Devotions, go for Dryad and work ur way to Behemoth for survivabilty.
First your resistances are way too low. You should aim for at least 50%. I see that some of them are negitive, which is why you are taking too much damage.
Second. Consider the following for devotions:
Crossroads: Green & Blue
Tree of Life
Light of Empyrion
Solemn Watcher
Eel (or Sailor’s Guide)
Kraken
Tortoise
Lion
Scholar’s Light
Viper
Lizard
optional: 2 points into Obelisk of Menhir (getting +300 DA)
This setup only takes 45 (or 46 with Sailor’s Guide) points. You then have 5 points to play around with and do as you want. So far, it has worked out really good and I am in the beginning area of Ultimate and level 73. I understand, that you are about 20 levels below, but aim for it.
I am not a fan of Cadence and since you maxed out Shaman, consider going Primal Strike (with Thunderous Strike) and maxing out the other 2 in the line. Then consider, which skill you want to use (Stormcallers Pact or Primal Bond). With using PS, you will need a good amount of energy regen, so consider also items/Materia with it or Mogdrogen’s Pact.
Also, don’t be afraid to use Materia (??) in your items/armor. You can use some to help out with getting your resisitances higher.
Im thinking about going for a lightning shaman build, what would be my main skill to use im guessing savagery but not sure and im guessing preferred weapon would be 2H
also whats the main thing to keep in mind for devotion for that type of build,as far as stats are concerned
Also what is this builds AOE was looking and didn’t really see anything, I skipped on feral hunger, I have torrent, but I believe that’s a passive AOE?
Also I burn through spirit really quickly is there something I didn’t spec into that I should have?
