Good, old, simple as board Ultos Warder, adapted to modern reality.
PROS AND CONS
PROS
Huge damage and %crit, can obliterate bosses and nemesis’ very quickly.
Pretty fast crucible and SR farmer.
Rather easy to level-up and play build, without many buttons.
CONS
Grava is a piece of sh… genial gamedesign, so be very careful with him in both Cruci and SR. Also enemies with high lightning resistance take some time to kill.
Seemed a bit squishy to me, so don’t charge mindlessly in a horde of mobs (this refers mostly to SR).
No healing ability, so we rely only on our lifesteal and killing speed.

Special thanks to @mad_lee for helping with min-maxing the build, Anton Wojscehovsky for making Crucible runs and all Safarel Discord community.
I’ve never played Shaman class, could you explain how Savagery works?
I’m supposed to spam Primal Strike right? So when do I use Savagery? Do I need to keep the stacks at max constantly?
edit: basically, I want to know why do we use Savagery, I must be missing something.
Thanks
You need to keep 3-4 stacks of savagery active, as the skill gives you bonuses like 8% phys res, oa, da and AS.
And even with only 1 stack of Savagery your damage and stats will be boosted very nicely.
I’ve beaten SR75-76 multiple times with this build. You can invest 1-1 points in Wendigo Totem to get some more ADctH or use Seal of Blades. And don’t forget about healing potions.
Thank you for sharing you build! It helps me a lot with my first character in Grim Dawn.
While your discussion above is mostly focused on end game, I have some questions regarding leveling and skill priorities.
Currently I am around level 30, playing on normal in campaign mode.
So far I got my Shaman mastery to level 25 and Soldier mastery to level 10 (just to get mobility with Blitz).
I was able to max out Brutal Force (12), Primal Strike (16), Torrent (12), Storm Surge (12).
Aside from that I have single point in every ability from your build.
I wonder if I should prioritize leveling Soldier and getting Field Command plus passives. Or maybe it is better idea to focus on Shaman and maxing out Raging Tempest and Stormcaller’s Pact first.
hello!
your main goal in leveling until lvl 50 is to get Stormcaller’s Pact asap and invest into your main damaging skill.
After getting the Exclusive ability to 12/12 you can proceed to other skills, investing in what you need and step by step maxing all of them.
Kraken is very good for any 2h builds. But what’s going to push you builds to the next level is resistances reduction. But since end game and leveling are different terms check out this guide!
