Can anyone help me with a Shaman/Soldier build? I am getting my butt kicked all the time now. So, I set all my Soldier, Shaman and Deviation back to 0. I’m using a 2 handed weapon and mostly legendary (purple) items. I am looking for a 59th level build to use. It’s been a long time since I have played the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

warder is a mixed char for me.for example while playing as soldier you always have to run s/b,but in shaman 2h weapon is a must.mixing these two didn’t work for me, ı couldn’t decide what to do and stopped playing my warder around lvl 62.
Can you upload your character to grimtoolsand put the link in your post? Warder is one of the most powerful classes so you’re doing something wrong but it could be one of any number of things. Also, legendary items aren’t necessarily better than greens or blues, it depends on your build and what stats you need. I wouldn’t prioritize legendaries over capping resists and having the right types of damage increases.
Forums will not let me yet :furious: untill

Thanks holey im going to try that one
Ok this is it http://www.grimtools.com/calc/nZoY8d2A
Lol ok well I’ll just give you some general advice for now. If you’re dying a lot you probably need to do at least one of the following things:
- cap resists (80% by default), use augments and components on your gear to do this
- get more hp/ hp regen
- get more armor (if you have even 1 piece of gear with low armor you can get smacked hard because you have a chance to be hit in each area)
- get more defensive devotions
- get life leech
Keep an eye out for green and blue items with lots of hp/resists/armor because you will need these to fill out your defensive stats.
For a 2h warder build, cadence and primal strike are both good options, make sure to look for stats on your gear that correspond to the skill you choose (lightening/ phys/ bleed for primal or phys/bleed/internal trauma for cadence).
Some good defensive skills you should have maxed out (or close to maxed out) are: menhir’s will, heart of the wild, war cry, field command, military conditioning, wendigo totem.
Must have devotion for 2h build: Kraken
Good defensive devotions: Behemoth (only first 3 nodes), chariot (defensive and offensive), obelisk of menhir (first 3 nodes), tree of life, ishtak
Throw 1 point into Blitz for mobility, if you go the cadence route you can put more points into it and get blindside as well for extra aoe dmg.
Ok, biggest problems I can see is your resists are wayyyy low and blade arc is not very good compared to cadence/ primal strike. Looks like you are going more the phys route so I’d recommend switching to cadence from blade arc. I wouldn’t have gone so deep into shaman yet but I think you can still salvage the build.
Your shoulders and boots are super low armor too so if u get hit in those spots you’re gonna get rocked, better to have a yellow with some stats you need and decent armor value in those spots than lvl 40 items. Make sure to cap resists before worrying about damage.
How far are you in the campaign? You only have 23 devotion points so you are missing a ton of them, that is going to make you way weaker, I’d recommend going back and getting all the shrines you missed. You can also take out the points you have in the crossroads and use them for something better (the only ones i think are worth keeping are the 5% hp ones). You need to get kraken ASAP for a 2h build, without it you are just gimping yourself because dw/ sword and board is more stats.
With your + to soldier skills items, 1 point in markovian advantage/ zolhan technique/ fighting spirit would go along way, as well as at least 1 point in war cry and 1 point in break morale.
This is probably how I would do the 23 devos you have at the moment: http://www.grimtools.com/calc/r2BBmb2A
I just noticed you have overguard as well which requires a shield.
Buddy, see that video I did, it could give you some idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOMQNdXQH3w
Now, talking about level up, use savagery 2H, maximizated all skills and use devil’s wind 1 point, 1 point raging tempest and all points in Maelstrom = This set gonna be your mob cleaning. Pretty good to up.
Important:Wendigo Totem is your Tankyness, level up to the max and stay near when fighting.
Also using 6 points in Menhir’s Will will help you to hold a heavy damage giving you a second time.
I hope I could help you in something. 
Thanks all for the feed back now I have something to work for :undecided::undecided::undecided:
