This will obviously become an at least more viable build after the expansions’ release, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to get a DW Pistol Shaman build using Storm Totem and Wendigo Totem through to Ultimate. I was planning on building it myself but have found that my planning for the expansion and the inqui/necro classes has overidden this.
If there are enough pistols with lightning damage that will be a nice build.
Now there are a lot of fire-damage pistols and just 1 good lightning…
I take it you mean Savagery. It works but isn’t that good. Pistols are fast and love flat damage. Savagery isn’t that good when it comes to flat. It would become slightly better when co-xpak patch gets released but don’t expect miracles. Pre xpak usually it’s conjurer, search for Chthon’s “Bulletstorm” build for example.
That’s what I thought. I was looking to create a a trapper like character, but I might leave that to my Shaman/Inquisitor build. Thanks for the tips.
I’m planning (with other builds) something like that inquis+shaman savagery+ lightning inquis proc ( how that was called again?) + that inquis electric box. For exclusive aura i’m not sure between stormcaller or inquis one which grants elemental res.
I have a prepped character that’s nearly at the end of ultimate, for this exact build.

It’s pretty good against single targets but isn’t so good against mob packs in terms of damage dealing ability.
I think the Aura is not good for ranged builds, because 6m radius = melee…
On Vindicator (shama/inq). You would laugh, but it’s much more consistent as a rifle build rather than dw.
Yeah well i’m talking without knowing anything about new gear so it is entirely possible
Please just let me have a decent gunslinger
you will, I have made one currently and I can think of several new ones but only need to theory craft them 
That’s all i ask sir, i wanna theorycraft, i need those accursed tools to be updated!!!

Feel free to do w/e with the grenado points. If you want to specifically use savagery I would just avoid doing so 
Trapper type character is totally possible, but totem and mortars both require a lot of points to do damage (esp mortar). Your auto attacks won’t be doing much damage without a lot of points put into your auto attack and totems/mortars suffer without stacking CDR to get multiple up. Best to choose between the two options though you can do both
I really hope for some good lightning guns in the expansion - my favourite build back in the day when level cap was 30. Demolitionist with orwell’s revovler (badass wepeon) and that cool elemental dmg offhand.
To those who aspire for trapper playstyle I highly recommend Rune of Hagarrad. Either cold caster magehunter or ABB cold/pierce infiltrator.
