[Vatnir Zealot Build] - The Beast of Winter

[kronozord]

 Hi.
I’m going to start the Beat of Winter DLC and I’m going to take Vatnir with me.

I’ve chose for him to be a Zealot because I already have enough chanters and a full priest in my companion list, and, based on his sub-race and starting armor, the game sets him up as some kind of "living on the edge" build.
I’ve come up with this configuration, but I would like your inputs about it.
Thank you.
