Thunder Shaman constellations?

[Ardenian]

I am trying to figure out a Devotion build for a Thunder Shaman and I wondered whether it is possible to get Kraken, Ultos, Tempest and Spear of the Heaven in the same Devotion build, does someone know this by chance? I lost myself somewhere in the early ones to match the requirements, especially for Ultos.

Still have room to pick up Rowan's Crown. Might not be perfectly optimal (point-wise) either - I just made a quick attempt and it worked okay. Damage-wise Widow will probably be better than Tempest though... as much as I love Tempest. (So flashy!)

Thanks a bunch! Like the setup, good point about Widow, I am a bit suspicious about effects only triggering on critical hits, just like Upheaval, Arcane Bomb might be indeed a better choice than, will look into it.

Chance on crit devotions work fine if you can get the OA and have a decent skill to attach them to. I was mostly referring to the resist reduction from Widow; -35% lighting resist is probably more useful than more AoE damage when you already have Hand of Ultos involved. Not to mention that lightning caster builds tend to have a ton of AoE anyway.

The man said "Kraken, Ultos, Tempest and Spear of the Heaven" - request fulfilled. I wasn't asked for healing. 5 points and all of your gear to play with for that anyway.

I see, thanks for coming back to me, I will tinker around with it and see what I like and what works for me.

Ok, soooo, I'm late to the party, but I just love to tinker with some crazy Devotion theorycrafting. Here is my best try :

Kraken, Ultos, Spear, and Tempest, check. Behemoth too, because healing is good. And two spare points. I took Hawk for the nice 3% OA bonus, but you can replace it with Spider or something like that, since there are two spare points.

PS : probably a good idea to keep in mind that this set-up has very few resist bonuses, so might be a little more difficult to gear up, you'll just have to be a bit liberal on applying components and augments to cap your resists.

Thank you for your input! Behemoth seems a good addition to keep the health floating, about the resistances, that might become a problem, might tinker around with equipment here.
