Hello everyone.
Lately I’ve hit ultimate difficulty with my conjurer and I’m finding myself lacking defence, dps, and generally feeling overall weak.
Below is my current eq along with skill build.
Any ideas what could I improve ? Or should I move to something completly different ?
(can’t post links …)
Conjurer is probably the most versatile class in GD.
I play 2-h Savagery conjurer myself, and very fond of it.
You made several mistakes with your build:
Now about devotions…
You got many useless devotions, imo.
In the end, it will be something like this:

Your weapon is shit, too.
Go and check secret vendor, for Troll Bonesmasher/crusher, with 2 good affixes (yours has useless +200% fire damage, should be physical damage or attack speed)
I was focusing a lot on defence, hence why there are so many defence oriented devotions out there.
I’ll try to do some tweaks, hope I have enough cash for that 
Also, where’s that secret vendor you mentioned ?
Edit: Found him.
What stats should I focus on ? Bleeding + physical dmg ?
Also, all these lightining dmg on my eq is useless, right ?
Edit2:
Got a nice weapon: http://i.imgur.com/LSYsqit.jpg
Tweaked abit with devotion and skills, and damage looks really nice now. Except piercing resistance…
But I do have a problem - there are 5 active devotion skills and not too many skills to assign them to. Any ideas ? Falcon swoop, rend, maul, acid spray, assasins mark.
I’ve got Maul under savagery, Assasin’s Mark under upheaval, Falcon swoop on feral hunger. What with the other 2 ?
The problem is not that you go for defensive devotions, the problem is that devotions you go for are way too weak for you. You should pick only the most powerful devotions, that’s all. They may be offensive or defensive - it matters little, and lack of defence may be fixed with gear, as well as lack of offense.
I’ve some to a following setup:
Falcon Swoop - CoF (procs very often, and even when you’re not attacking - and helps to clear packs very well).
Assassin’s Mark - Upheaval (Upheaval is always crit, so it walys procs AM).
Manticore - Savagery (proccing resist reduction often is good).
Rend - Wendigo Totem (not the best proccer due to relatively small AoE, but if placed proper, will help a lot to clear packs, or to reduce boss’ OA).
Raise Dead - ignore it, i got it for affinity only.
Giant’s Blood - any permanent buff (Primal Bond, Mogdrogen Pact, etc).
If you use axe, you may get Berserker instead of Behemoth.
Alternatively, you may try to put Rend on CoF - it is good against huge packs of weaker mobs, just put CoF on them and watch them bleed to death.
you may get +1 Chaos and Primordial crossroads, or get Raise Dead and spent last 1 point for whatever you like.
Focus on physical damage and OA. Bleed damage will mostly come naturally, though not forget about it too. But first, max out ALL your resistances - it is a huge defensive boon! HP is also very useful.
lightning damage is mostly useless for you, cause your main damage type is physical, followed by bleed. In GD, any good build usually focuses on 1-2 damage types.
Finally, you got a worthy weapon. I used the one with similar rolls for a long time - it’s quite common and effective. You may search for better mods (generally, rare prefix), but that will take a lot of time “checking vendor”. You may also farm BoC (area behind the seal - needs keys) for MI axes, with good rolls they may be kinda good too. But it’s pretty hard to get good rolls on them.
Thanks for the tips ! 
And what about Maul ? You did not list it anywhere.
Edit: Feral Hunger is free. Will assign it there for now.
Switched my Wyrmscale boots to Elite Harvest Footpads. That will help with resistances.
Yes, i put it on Feral Hunger, just forgot that one
Does anyone know what the relative max devotion level values look like in this patch for Falcon Swoop and Maul?
I am wondering if it might be worth dropping the former for the latter. Or hell, maybe even get Bull Rush instead and get a lot more freedom with the points.
Falcon deals 30% weapon damage now. It’s a harsh nerf to physical damage (even despite it adds some flat physical now), but its bleed damage is still strong, and worth using.
I don’t think this is a good idea for bosses. Savagery bound to FS is way better. You can always bind Manticore to CoF.
CoF is the BEST proccer, so you should put your BEST procs on it (and better 0 ones with large AoE). It’s pretty pointless to put Manticore on CoF, cause proc has low AoE and CD, and will proc not where you want it to. Falcon Swoop has large AoE, and Rend has no CD, that’s why they are more eligible for CoF.
Against bosses, Falcon doesnt add lots of damage anyway, Especially now. Its true purpose is to help with packs.
