Primal Strike Warder: A Consensus?

First of all:

For a 2-hander, the last points have to be spent on Falcon.

Reason: Shamans have Heart of the wild and Wendigo totem, solving all of your survivability needs (the 2-handed lightning Warder version tanks Avatar of Mogdrogen easily, I tried it). What they need is offensive ability, because of the huge crit bonus from Stromcaller’s pact.

Primal strike seems better than Savagery. They do around the same damage, but…

  1. Savagery only works for Warder (2-handed) or Trickster (DW), with Warder still being better off going Primal strike. The reason is that you need the attack procs for aoe.
  2. Because of #1, Primal strike needs much less points invested
  3. PS triggers Falcon swoop twice as often.
