I just started a Shaman who’s wielding 2H ranged weapons making use of basically the Primal Strike tree.
Now I’m really wondering which second mastery to use.
Occultist would make a lot of sense I guess. CoF is crazy strong for both slowing down enemies and lowering their resistances.
Soldier would add quite some survivability but not much in a sense of damage or fun in general.
Demolitionist has quite a couple of useful support skills I guess.
Nightblade? No. Not at all, right?
Arcanist? While Maiven’s Sphere and some other utility skill would be nice, I’d say it’s the same issue as with Soldier. Added survivability, not a lot of extra fun.
And of course I’m also wondering which devotions to take. I’m currently theorycrafting on Grimcalc.
Occultist is definitely really good with primal strike shaman.

Woah, they both look very impressive.
I’m especially thrilled by the second one since he’s using Bloody Pox - a skill I’ve always wanted to try but never have since it’s universally considered to be underwhelming.
I’ve tried a few routes with primal strike I think occultist is best because of curse but the OA/attack speed offered is nice too. Blood/aspect is fantastic too. Nightblade/soldier both suck ass. Arcanist gives you some good survivability options with maiven, mirror, nullify, 1 point OFF, and some nice stuff extra crit damage and a bit of converiosn but meh. Worst of the 3 viable options imo. I actually quite like PS elementalists don’t know why people don’t play it more, works well as ranged too
Bloody prox is very unwhelming he just 1 pointed it to proc a devotion
Demolitionist’s flashbang is no longer spammable, so I would not take demo.
Occultist gives you an instant healing ability while your potion is on cooldown and CoF as you mentioned.
With CoF now can procs devotion, occultist is a very good option.
It’s Occultist then.
Thanks for all the input.
