Cannot do any ultimate with my warder.

I was fine through normal/vet literlly zero problems. Elite was alittle harder but managed. Act 3-4 on elite were rough a lot of deaths mostly 1sec deaths nothing I could of done. Get to Ultimate die to any champion pack instantly.

http://grimcalc.com/build/5WZEsI is my spec and devo

The last 5 points of Devo i was going to put into Kraken.

I am level 62

8284 health
1600 Offensive Ability
1500 Defensive ability

attributes :
35 into phy
28 into cunning
0 into spirit

Ive mainly been trying to keep attackspeed,phys%,bleed and trauma.
I wouldnt say my gear is bad all the jewelery is attackspeed-%bleed damage-%phys damage. All my armor is %phys %bleed %trauma with cunning and physique

I have always been pretty serious about video games I have thousands of hours into games such as world of warcraft and Diablo I’d say im a bit more serious of a gamer. I just dont understand why Elite-Ultimate are almost unplayable with my gear and setup

Can you post armor rating and resistances?

62 is a bit early for ultimate, iirc. So, you’re using a fair bit of bleed, but no devouring swarm? It debuffs bleed resist by 50.

I am guessing your resist are low, too. Might want to head back to elite and farm up some gear/resists.

My warder is cruising through Elite, just finished act 3 at 60. I have nice gear, though (wearing 4 legendaries).

There are a lot of defensive abilities you have passed up, like vines and war cry, for instance.

Your health is way too low. At 8k you’re going to get ganked, hard. You also have zero heals outside of pots that I can tell.

I play a similarly styled build and my health is 12k, 1800 OA, 1700 DA.

Here’s my build:

(Edit: I missed it in the calculator but Heart of the Wild is at 10/10, not 1/10 as in the link)

I also equip the combat medic’s badge so that I have three proc heals with my devotions. I also just dropped War Cry in favor of points into Wendigo totem for the healing. Just FYI at level 81 with all of my heals and 12k health, my life bar still dances around like a yo-yo in a tornado. Some of that is because I haven’t found gear to max out a few resistances but it’s also because Ultimate is a PITA and with the minor exception of my Dire Bear Devotion melee can’t afford not to take some sort of heal proc like Giant’s Blood, Dryad’s Blessing, Healing Rain, or Wayward Soul.

So my simple advice is to rework your devotions first.

Yeah, there is the issue.
You need resistance gear, lots of it. Get all your resists to at least 50% on Ultimate, or you will die. The most important ones are Elemental, Piercing, Vitality, Bleeding, try to max those out. Poison is important too, but usually can be countered with healing and regen, Aether is only important if you want to stand in the Aetherfire cast by monsters and Chaos is rather location-specific, around 50% should be good.

im on my first selffound warder and its the first time i play this game, and my char has 3.6k dps and 6.5k HP at lvl 40. ur doing something wrong i guess oO

€: to the lvl 81 guy: why do you max tenacity of the boar? it seems farily weak.

8

Try to get like 60-80% in all resistances first and a lot more OA

9

Is that chains of anguish?

10

Looks like it to me…

11

Where do you suggest I get 100% of all resist in a snap of a finger, I dont mind respecing my devo I’m just so new to the game I am lost at this point i feel defeated

12

Don’t get discouraged. It’s a complex game with a lot of depth, but that depth can help keep you playing for a long time. I’d say getting through elite on your first character is pretty darned good.

You can get a lot of resists from getting to revered with various factions. They have augments and gear that will help a lot. At honored, you can buy writs that give you bonus faction standing to help get to revered.

13

Switch back to Elite and visit few locations where you have already been. Kill some tough bosses again and take their clothes!..I mean loot.

But before you do that, sell that damned belt of yours and equip literally anything else.

Hello Sunlounger!
I agree with most people’s advices here.

One essential thing to survive in ultimate for most build is resist.
60 resist on elemental, poison, bleed, pierce is minimal for act 1 & 2 and you will probably want these resists to be 80 and 60+ for vitality, aether and chaos on act 3 & 4.

First, your resists can be easily improve by components put into gear. Imbued Silver gives 15 bleeding resists and 20 chaos from its aura. Use it on your weapon instead of the Whetstone. Its a shame to lose the Whetstone on your weapon, but trust me, you really need it now.

Replace your shoulder and leg components to 2Silk Swatch, this gives you 36 pierce and another 36 bleed resist.

Use a Runestone on your head armor. Although you don’t focus on elemental damage, the 10 elemental resist it gives is good and you really need it now.

Use Wardstone on your medal, which gives you another 7 elemental resist and 15 bleeding resist. You may want to swap that with Black Tallow for the chaos resist in Act 3 & 4. Do not hesitate to trade some of your damage bonus to survival-ability bonus for ultimate. You do no damage if you are dead.

Antivenom Salve gives you 20 poison resist and it can be applied to all armor.

Is your Rovers reputation revered yet? They have a beautiful augment on rings & amulets - Mogdrogen’s Sanctity. Augment your rings and amulet with it and you got another 36 cold and lightning resists, which will be really helpful to you. It also give 180 health each so its really nice. I will suggest you to grind Rovers bounty and undead in Elite for this augment if you are not revered with them yet.

Drop your Chain of Anguish (belt) and replace with a belt that give you poison/cold/lightning resist. Chain of Anguish reduces your core resists a lot when it proc, thats a death ticket in ultimate.

I will comment on your skills on another reply.

Thanks for all the quick responses I have been very frustrated today dying in elite let alone just starting ultimate. I have listened to everyones reply. I gave up about 6000 damage per second and got all my resists to 60+ in elite (not even having a belt on). Where do some of you guys suggest I head to first to just “farm” for random drops and gear.

Resists help you against non-physical damages effectively. Physical damage can still kill you especially you are melee. I personally do not think armor as a effective mitigation against Physical damage and its likely only tank build could/should get armor to a high value.

You can indirectly use some skills and devotion powers to help with the physical damage spike issue.
You did not mention your devotion. Anyway, Chariot of the Dead and Behemoth and their powers - Wayward soul and Giant’s blood are pretty much essential to most build’s survival in ultimate. You can really see the difference with and without these 2 powers.

Other indirect but effective means to reduce physical damage taken is to increase your health number, and to gain health during combat.
You can consider this build http://grimcalc.com/build/R0IsGh (skill points but not the devotion part)

Military Conditioning is very good, keep it on rank 10 is pretty good and helpful in ultimate.
As mentioned by others, devouring swarm synergy well with your nice bleeding weapon (you lucky dog I want it too:D) and also it reduces a portion of the damage done to heal you!
Wendigo totem - Even just 1 point into it, its healing is very good for melee.

As you have a nice bleeding weapon, I will also suggest you to use the Cadence line instead of Savagery line because it synergy better for bleeding damage, but its up to you.
I have rank 16 Blade arc with Clean Sweep on my bleed warder and its bleed damage is impressive, so you could try it too. If you don’t like it you can swap the skill points out.
Also, if you really want to build your warder into bleeding damage warder, forget about the Oleron devotion and get Huntress and its power rend. Oleron doesn’t seem to worth the requirements to me even for non-bleeding damage warder.

So far I don’t see any fatal build decision you have made. With better resist, Military Conditioning, devouring swarm and Wayward soul, your warder can definitely faceroll act 1 & 2 in ultimate. You may want to stop putting anymore points into cunning tho.

Slith Primal rings - the elite/ultimate versions. Seriously those rings are badass. Balance them with Legplates of Valor or empowered version, Silk Swatches, Mogdrogen’s Sancity. Those items combine should take care of much of the top row of resistances + bleed. For cthnoic areas Sanctified Bone is quite good although maxing chaos/aether/vitality resistance is generally less important than the primary ones.

Also keep in mind that ele resistances don’t necessarily need to be 80 but under 50 and any elemental hero is going to be a real pain.

18

Thanks for everything you have helped with. Here are my devotion points http://grimcalc.com/build/dFeKbw

What devotions would you suggest if i work toward Behemoth and Chariot of the dead

19

Resists are important, but if you are dying that much in elite, there are bigger issues (and don’t forget that ultimate will decrease resists even further).

The devotions Rogetit mentioned will help. Look at some defensive abilities, as already mentioned.

Hey, if you go for bleed damage, you can consider something like this http://grimcalc.com/build/qNFDPc. But this is min max toward bleed damage, so high bleed resistance enemy will be a time sink for you.

If you want to be a phyical/bleed hybrid, take out the points in dryad and that +10% bleeding damage point in huntress and then max Dire Bear. (You know a completed devotion can have its bonus to self-sustain its affinities requirement right?)

You use 2h melee you should really take kraken as it gives +16% attack speed and can apply to 2h melee in v1.0.

Note that you don’t need to use Savagery/Cadence to proc falcon swoop, put a few point in Grasping Vines and use it to proc falcon swoop. It will proc like an automatic shotgun. Use Savagery/Cadence to proc Dryad’s blessing or Dire Bear’s Maul.

I like Dryad because warder do not have high enough spirit to equip high end rings and amulet, while clearly none of us want to invest more than 2-3 attribute points into spirit. So, Dryad’s -spirit requirement is pretty good, the devotion power is also a nice heal during combat. But dryad is totally optional.

Tip the scales is also totally optional, but its power is pretty good. You can take away the points in Scales and have both Dryad and Dire Bear tho.
