Need 2H melee Shaman (Warder) devotion suggestions
I have to admit the devotion map/tree makes my head spin. Anyone have an easy mode list of constellations for a 2H mostly physical damage build. Currently sitting on 24 unused devotion points. Also, which high tier constellation should I be aiming for?

Currently at level 48 with a default attack of Savagery with Primal Strike on RMB at the cooldowns.

First one I do is the hawk for the devotion skill, pretty great at clearing mobs when you have a high bleed bonus

I think Tempest may be a good constellation to go for. That lightning damage tho... Not saying it's high tier, but considering you have Savagery and Primal Strike, it's a no brainer. I actually made a Two Handed Warder myself lol. My completed constellations are thus far (I'm level 31) are the Lizard for HP regen, the Wraith for lightning damage, and the Throne for resistances. Just started to invest into Tempest for that succulent lightning damage.

I feel like Bull, Viper, Hammer, and Dire Bear are mandatory.

For a Physical build the ultimate goal is Oleron devotion in the lower right part. Use Bull and/or Bear for extra AOE splash damage.

Thanks for the responses. I have gone ahead and attached Bull to my savagery skill. It seems that, other than Hammer, there aren't a lot of good purple constellations for melee (2H or otherwise) of which you need a score of 20 to use Oleron. Any suggestions on the purples?

Dunno I went defensive devotions because I got my behind whooped on end of elite/beginning of ultimate. Maybe you have better gear than me but I constantly hovered around 20-40% resits and that was not enough to go into melee. Physical resistance/absorb was needed also because trash just killed me in 0,0001s.
my aim is for attack speed and i choose SAILOR GUIDE - RAVEN for unlock the 2h cosntallation of KRAKEN. than i completed so far JAKAL, GHOUL, BEHEMOT, REVENANT. now i'm aiming for some resistances (currently i'm level 61 and only against some "minor" bosses i had difficoulties)

Jackal is great if you need to splash chaos or have 3 points to kill but otherwise kind of blah.

My warder is as follows. hawk 5, hammer 3, bull 5, crane 5, scythe 6, bear 6, throne 4, scepter 6, oleron 7, ascendant crossroad 1 with 2 stars left over for whatever you like but my warder is also pure physical so my list may not work for you.

My 2h Warder uses Tsunami, Bull, Panther, Solemn Watcher, Ulo, Empyrion, Viper, Tree of Life (minus branches), Vulture and Spear of Heaven. It's awesome.

Thanks for the additional suggestions. I will try some of these.

Chariot of the Dead and Behemoth are pretty amazing. Maybe pick up Kraken since you're going to be using two handed weapons anyway.

I am playing a Primal Strike build (2-handed of course) and I'll share with you what I am using.

Crossroads: Green & Blue
1. Tree of Life
2. Light of Empyrion
3. Solemn Watcher
4. Eel (which I will respect to Sailor's Guide, when I get an extra point)
5. Kraken
6. Tortoise
7. Lion
8. Scholar's Light
9. Viper
10. Lizard

This setup only takes 45 points. You then have 5 points to play around with and do as you want. So far, it has worked out really good and I am in the beginning area of Ultimate and level 73.

For your level, I would focus on getting at least:
Crossroads: Green & Yellow
1. Scholar's Light
2. Kraken
3. Tortoise
4. Lion
5. Viper
6. Lizard

This in turns uses 24 devotion points.

I'd drop primal strike altogether and go with the wendigo totem on rmb. It really compliments savagery and hunger once you invest in the upgrade. Ghoul is really good with this too.

Tempest and Kraken are a must
