I want to start a new character. My first was a battlemage (soldier + arcanist). I got some nice epics and 1 legendary for shaman, so I decided to play one.
However, I would not like to combine it with either soldier or arcanist, as I want to try something new.
So, summarizing, which do you recommend me to combine shaman with (excluding soldier and arcanist). Also, I’d prefer to play either melee or ranged weapons (my battlemage was mostly ranged spells, so I want as much difference as possible).
A Primal Strike ranged gun/xbow Shaman is a lot of fun thus far. Lightning everywhere! Could easily be combined with Occultist for CoF slows/resist debuff and such, or even Demo for Vindictive Flame attack speed and other extras.
The legendary and the class combo would work great for a pure caster or a hybrid melee build (where you have a primary melee skill with other abilities like wendigo and sigil for support and additional aoe) for support. I’m still wearing those pants at level 60 on my bleed/vitality warder. If you wind up doing anything vitality related, Devouring Swarm is a no-brainer. You don’t have to be an occultist to make good use of those pants, because of the proc, but if you are, you can make use of the other skill bonus too.
