I'm lv 79 right now with +3/+1 Occultist/Oath all skills and STILL have tons of ways to spend points for big bonuses.īut if you need more convincing, push Keeper to 50/50, and max out Guardians, then sit back as they clear the road to ultimate for you.
Dangerous foes can be approached cautiously while you still stack the poison dot quite well, and everything else you can zerk right into with melee. This build is really growing on me, the variety of attacks keeps it fun. You're right tho, you will be using mostly Oathkeeper's tree. If you can reliably convert lightning to acid, the entire Shaman gear box opens up to you as well (also retaliation focused). So there is quite a bit of synergy to be had. Aegis of Menhir can get up to 50% retaliation damage, nothing to sneeze at, and Dreeg's also gets up to 10% from the tree.
All your other damage skills are also (part) weapon based so you can double dip all the way. Dreeg's Evil Eye + Menhir are both cooldown based, use the time in between to spam Righteous Fury and stack some extra bonus damage on top (plus all the other stuff it gives). Occultist does kinda put you in the caster role, but you can still go melee as 'on top'.
