SpyNavy This was by far one of the best guides I have seen on this or any other site. This is a hidden jewel and I really appreciate it. One of the few builds that just "works" from the beginning. This is definitely my starter build for the Shaman. Now I need one like this for each class of this quality. Well done and thank you.
Keshiq Hello, thanks for awasome build! I have a question tho, what is the point of investing in avatar of thunder in the shaman tree? Mayby I have missed something :C
HIMixoid Keshiq It will add more damage (lighting damage) to Totems attacks (and will scale from Storm Bringer node). Also we need those points to reach Protective Circle and Rune of Awe nodes.
SpyNavy How do you scale damage for end game, say 400+ corruption. Survivability is excellent but high level damage is lacking. I love the build but need more damage.
Artam Love the build, great work! I switched out Fury Leap with Storm Totem, helps mix it up from human form play which is a bit more active than spriggan form. This is my 1.0 build, thank you 🙂
Valiron Insane Guide, insane Build. First character ive ever played in this game and found a perfect guide. Thank You! Definitly playing this in 1.0
LSF Thank you, this is truly a well written guide. Can I ask what does it mean: "+1% Critical Strike Chance for Totems per Intelligence"? Is this flat added to the base crit (seems very op) or increased chance (seem very meh).
HIMixoid SpyNavy Currently testing this build in 1.0. But you know, those server issues won't let me level up quickly 🙁 There are already some changes to items and skill nerfs, so can't really say yet. I will update this build with new data as soon as I test it enough in a late-game of 1.0 patch.
Barista HIMixoid thank you for your guide ! I’m triying to find a easy and comprehensive guide for a beginner like me ! Hope you’ll be able to update the guide 😃
SpyNavy I am not the OP but I played this original build in 0.9.2 - this is very similar to the Maxroll build that they have listed as a B-tier "good starter" on their site. I have played it in 1.0 as a mix between as a hybrid between this original post and Maxrolls and found that it performs similarly. I will say that it is high on survivability and weak on damage, but some of that may be related to "fresh start" gear. Better gear will definitely improve damage but I think the build overall will be limited to sub 200 corruption w/out damage buffs to thorn totems. That being said if you want a right click and run build - this is fantastic. Stack health so you arent one shot where you can - you cant be killed unless you get burst damage or arent paying attention, but it may take you 10 minutes to burn down a high end boss 🙂

jolid63 This is the ultimat farming machine! I love the build. Discovered it in beta and have follow the same guide for 1.0. It works just the same, to me anyway. I'm running empowered monos with 130+ corruption, and it's a nice flow. Sure there's not that crazy high damage output, but it get's the work done 🙂 I have starting to use the ring Silvafrond for a moving skill in Spriggan form. Nice for getting away from bosses. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/om6wre1A So thanks for a great build AND a great guide!
