So, I recently got a full Shattered Lance set and wanted to theorycraft a build with it and came up with what I believe is a really good Shaman build. At first I was looking into Spellblade, but soon after I realized that this would work wonders on Shaman due to generic health regen Primalist gets from passives and idols.
So, the main idea is to dual-weild an Ice Sceptre and the Sword from the set in order to get high amount of base cold damage and then pick a few physical attacks and play them as cold since your base damage will be mainly cold, then you stack a lot of health regen and Vitality to get as much health regen as possible. I have chosen Tempest Strike and Earthquake as my main damaging skills, but this could probably work with Swipe and Upheaval as well. Tempest Strike also gets higher value due to passives from Shaman tree and additionally it puts the cold spell damage from the sceptre to good use.
For supplemental skills, I have chosen Fury Leap, Ettera’s Blessing and Warcry. Ettera’s Blessing was basically a momentarily spark of creativity which happened to fit the build quite well, as it probably needs some sort of defensive tools to offset the vulnerabilty you have due to dual-weilding and also benefits from healing effectiveness nodes from Druid tree.
I’m curious to see your thoughts on this one. I believe it to be a strong build, but only seems so on paper. I don’t know if I’m missing something, but I would definitely play it if I wasn’t missing Core of the Mountain (my chosen body armour), which seems quite strong for the build, although I’m not sure if it’s necessary.
Here’s the link for the build:
