Warder or vindy

Hello all! im currently sitting at 48 with my 2h shaman and its probably the most fun ive had in the game. i love the tanky feel to using a 2h.

with that being said, what is the best second class to choose? im really torn on what to do, id like to do C+, higher SR when i get more geared on this toon. I prefer to be a one toon person though. I’d like to stick with the 2h dynamic and seen some good builds with vindicator and warder, honestly, im open to any suggestions 2h, doesnt have to be either of those two, can be druid, trickster, or any other variant as long as shaman is in it (i love the HP regen and leech).

also any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks!

+1 for Warder.

Definitely Vindicator. One of the most powerful classes in the game and a lot of diverse high-end build options.

Vindicator best the best warder

With Vindicator, you’ll have almost all possible gameplays the game has to offer: caster, 2h ranged, 2h melee, dual guns and even S&B retaliation. With Warder, not so much.

I’ve read this, but wasn’t sure if it was 2h capable (most of the builds ive seen were caster builds) I read low phys resist limits its capabilities too. I’m loving the savagery 2h build atm, my points are all over the place, and unlike others im not using storm totem (maybe i should) but so far i plowed to cruci 100 (at level 44) and ripped through normal. (albeit most classes can) i just love, absolutely LOVE pummeling everything on the map with savagery and i dont feel like i need to be stationary to do damage atm.

+1 vindicator

Warder is a bit of a one trick pony with the only decent faction gear build being a primal striker to me, even with gear options are pretty limited. Vindicator works well as 2h melee/ranged, dw ranged, or caster with random potato gear and has a lot more cool options when it comes to conversion

In top 10 builds in the game about 3 are vindicators. I don’t think you’d find 3 warders in top 100.

haha ok. you talked me into it. plus honestly, my first toon used inquisitor and i fell in love with Aura of censure.

Warders are good. And you can go physical. But vindicators are the very best lightning builds.

yeah i wanted to stick with a lightning build, not physical.

anyone recommend how to build?

https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4ZDzMoQ2 is what i respecced to currently. its not doing bad.

storm totem is pretty insane atm even with only 12 pts into it.
i think i butchered my devotions and talents though. so any recommendation would be great. im just starting elite

If you want Savagery + Totems check out this thread. https://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83407

Note, these builds focus only on Totems and Savagery. But they both can be greatly empowered by also including Box of Elgoloth.

that was the build i was basing mine off of! but im not good with gd builder, and i cant see how many pts are in / where for an idea (to level with) since its high end gear

Also warders good for bleed with Blade arc+Laceration from soldier and primal pact from shaman

Phys or Bleed warder is a great choice, imo

-1 for Warder now, earlier you said tanky 2 hander
+1 Vindicator
