So i started playing again after long pause, and im looking for good 2h warder build. Now my question is should i go lightning,bleed or physical. My plan was to go bleed but i saw that they changed and nerfed a lot of stuff in 1.0.0.8.
Bleed can be done, but IMO it’s annoyingly hard. Lightning would probably be your best bet IMO, but you’re also going to still get some Physical IN that, and a little bleed. Savagery or Primal Strike would be the idea… So Savagery, because Primal Strike is pretty MEH without the Ultos set.
On the upside, a Savagery Warder can get free OA from like three different sources, aside from the usual ones. So there’s that.
You dont need much to build a good Warder or that might be my playstyle.
I’ve tried Bleed, Retal and Lightning and Lightning ought to be my favorite.
I dont know how you imagined the physical Warder like straight 2H or Sword and Shield? There might be better combinations than Warder for pure physical.
I’d tell you to go for Lightning and basically Ultos for that matter. Build and set in general is really skill points hungry and really hard to cap resistances so you may need a couple rares and 1-2 MI at that and this one particular is quite important.
With some items you can make it a really nice proc build with super high OA, DA and armor values depending on setup.
Whether you want PS or Savagery is up to you but i’ve always liked Savagery more especially for the extra OA/DA despite damage being less compared to PS.
I’ve seen some people go for both but prob makes it extremely point starving than already is.

This is my boy that i’ve spent many hours with. With procs its usual to see 3k ish OA with 2.9k+ ish DA pretty much 90% of the time.
Ty, i’ll go for Savagery lightning then. Is there any must have devotion for that?
For 2H, usually Kraken. For Lightning, usually Tempest. For any type of elemental damage you want a resistance reduction*, and Warder only has Wind Devil on offer. If you want to use Wind Devil, go ahead, I do… If you don’t want to, though, or if you find it annoying, Widow or Rhowan’s Crown offer Lightning RR.
Aside from that, you’ll likely want to focus offensively, because Warders are naturally sturdy by virtue of being the two tankiest classes, put together. Unfortunately with only one lightning offensive devotion(Tempest), you’re generally stuck getting generic offensive ones. Hawk, Panther, those kinds of things. Generally if you get Tempest, Kraken, and have some RR source… Nobody’s going to be stunned by whatever setup you choose, it’ll all sort out.
*Most builds at all, really, not just elemental
Ty again guys, i’ll focus around those then.
Look at the neighbour theme.
You can take many routes with Devotions to your liking whether you want defensive, offensive, in between etc.
With devotions setups you can reach really high amount of DA/HP/armor numbers but Warder is already quite sturdy.
I am running this atm, to give you an idea. You can play around to your liking with Widow, Spear of Heavens and so on.
Whatever you do, remember to pick up Viper, Rhowan Crown and Widow for resistance reduction. Warder itself lacks a lot of resistance reduction (if only wind devil doesn’t consume so many skill points). Everything else is optional
