Since I’m pretty new to the game, I always take existing builds and maybe do some tweeks for my likeing.
Now I tried to make one myself, but since I lack detailed knowledge of what skills/buffs do and do not work together, some input would be appreciated.
So, would this work?

The idea is a mele 2 handed warder that does lightning damage. I took the lightning autoattack buffs from shaman and the autoattack from soldier. Would it work?
Personally I’d max which ever of the 2 masteries is your “main” mastery bar as this is the only source or health + energy outside of items. And the mastery bar can keep you alive more than skills can.
Just be aware that skill and devotion points can be reclaimed, mastery bar points cannot, so don’t go too far in your 2nd bar and ignore skills.
Hope this might help a bit 
Remove cadence altogether, put 1 point into thunderous strike so Primal Strike is your main attack. Put points in the shaman mastery to max it and get full stormcaller’s pact.
And swapped a few other points around.
It should have more damage and more defense than your build.
Thanks a lot. I got it all wrong, I thought primal strike was a weapon buff, because it looked like arcanist’s IEE.
But yeah, if that is my main attack I don’t need cadence.
What about aoe clears with this build tho? Is primal strike aoe? It says 2.5 radius.
soldier secondary is better suited for physical 2hander though
for lightning 2 hander arcanist will synergize better
for either choice, getting wendigo totem early(for the healing) should help survival
and when you get more durable from devotions etc, you can spec out of it later
eventually you want a way to reduce enemy resists, which can be done through wind devil, or manticore devotion linked to storm totem
not much discussion on it currently but replies I got there might help you also
