Theorycrafting 2H Ranged Shaman + other Pet build

Hi guys

Been messing around with Grimtools trying to concoct a build that centres around Druids Pets and Totems, which basically means Lightning and Phys damage. I am guessing I will need to pair it with Soldier or its just not going to be sturdy enough right?

Has anyone tried a build like this ? I figure if I can bolstee the pets and totems enough I should be able to kinda stay at range of kite with a 2h rifle or even dual pistols or something?

So far any build I’ve made with the planner just seems to lack enough points to make it sturdy enough or lacks defense or offense I guess

Has anyone tried a build like this ? I’m fairly certain someone must have ?

Is the game lacking decent end game items for such a build around or is there simply not enough points available to flesh out something like this?

Ultimately I would like to feel comfortable enough to farm all non crucible ultimate content including dungeons and Nemesis bosses, is this ever going to be an option with this type of build ?

As I understand, pet builds are best when pure because getting pet bonuses precludes getting character bonuses. If you’re not dead set on a hybrid, I think the best choice is going to be conjurer rather than warder since it gives you a second (and third if you want the derptastic familiar) permanent pet and some good support skills such as curse of frailty and blood of dreeg.

I don’t know much about pet build specifics beyond this, sadly, as I rather dislike the pet style of play and much prefer attackers/casters. Maybe some of the more experienced players could weigh in?
