Melee Primal Strike - Warder VS Elementalist

Hi guys,

which class would be better for a melee lightning PS build?
I really cant decide, but my Devotion plan is like this:

Kraken, Widow, Rhowans Crown, Viper, everything else defense

Don’t pick Primal Strike and go Savagery

Hello.
Strong side of Warder - better resistances, better armor and armor absorb%, more HP and DA, WarCry

Strong side of Elementalist - better overall speed, Flashbang, more OA and lightning damage, more resistance shred from Thermite Mines, Blast Shield

In general, Warder more tanky, Elem more glass-canon.
For myself, i prefer Warder over Elem, coz Warder my first char who beat HC Ultimate and still alive (around 6 days playtime). He seems more safe, then Elem.
And for 1st char i recommend Warder.

Elementalist isn’t glass canon :eek:

Maybe my english is not good enough to describe it right way.
I mean Elem more damage oriented and squishy then Warder, is it more understandable?

Again, no. It’s not if you built it correctly. Warder is more newb friendly than elementalist.
Not saying Warder is a bad class combo just saying elementalist isn’t squishy

But Elem has resistances, armor, armor absorb%, DA and HP less then Warder.
In equal gear and with equal devotion setup, ofc.
Is it mean, he squishy then Warder, or not?

Ah so that’s how you compare things

I always make comparisons by taking into account gear and devotions, cause making comparisons w/o seems vacuous

It’s just my view, played for both of them for 40-50 hours.
And if Ele procs MoD rather ofthen, then Warder procs his MW far less.
And, for example, Moos can hit my Ele for 60-70% HP, and he hit my Warder for 40-50%, same for Fabius.

Conjurer…giggity:rolleyes:
