Shaman - Wael/Berserker Build Help

[Krowseph]

Hey All,

 

I wanted to play the entire franchise through as a Priest of Wael and eventually multiclass with a Barbarian in POE2.  I saw some talk on the Shaman build but was slightly confused on how it plays.  Do you get within melee range with the Rod spiritual weapon for carnage + blast or is this strictly a ranged build?  What abilities should I be taking?  Any advice would be most certainly welcome.

 

Thanks!

Gromnir's the local expert on this one. 

 

As he notes, the abilities to take depend heavily on whether there will be another Priest in the party.  I don't think I'd play it as purely ranged, but I haven't given it a go myself to test out theorycrafted tactics.
