Hey guys so I played a bit during early access didn’t really get that far though maybe only beating normal or something like that. This time around I want to take a character all the way. I took a look at some the builds on here and from what I can tell a good starting build for 2h would be warden using cadence but I’d like to know what you guys think. Also as far as devotions go is the setup in jajaja’s guide still a good way to go about it?
If you can trade or have an elephant’s patience when farming, I would say Shaman+Ultos set (conjurer/warder are the most popular choices) is still one of the best 2hander in the game.
You can also try a Cadence/Blade Arc witchblade.
Edit: About devotion, kraken is the only one that i consider mandatory for a 2h.
Useing a Warder is a good option for a “first” time char. Loots of health, lots of resis, play with cadence, Savagery or Primal Strike as dmg skills and have some awesome buffs ans passives. You just need to take a look at what attack you want to use and build your devotions for it and you are good to go.
Thanks guys I think I’m gonna go with warder and work toward eventually using the ultos set since I’m liking the lightning theme.
Step one: Go Warder.
Step two: Max Primal Strike.
Step three: Seek medical attention if you have an erection lasting longer than four hours.
Step one: go Conjurer. With CoF, he’s much better than Warder.
Or you could go Elementalist and get the best of both worlds. 
Doing alright as just shaman so far finishing up normal. Still thinking about what secondary class to pick. What makes going elementalist the best of both cause I’m leaning toward conjurer right now. Btw does this look alright for Conjurer? Leveling with primal strike right now and was thinking of switching later on to savagery unless primal is just always better.
Check this build for reference…http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43510
You get as much net OA as a soldier with Flame Touched and Flashbang, have Blast Shield, Flashbang and Blackwater Cocktail for defense, and have -%lightning resist from Thermite Mines. On top of that is 15% total speed from Vindictive Flame. If that isn’t enough you can also take Concussive Bomb for an AOE stun.
Ah yea I see that does look pretty good. I didn’t notice the -light resist on thermite thought it was only -fire. Also thanks for the link to that guide Falacer.
Primal Strike is generally better for lightning builds, especially when overleveled with items. However, it consumes huge amounts of energy, and if you’re unable to regen it quickly, use Savagery.
