The Shaman is a very interesting and unique Primalist Mastery, as it is a very versatile build that allows you to specialize in either physical or magical damage. With this much versatility, if you’re looking for an optimal Storm Shaman build in Last Epoch, read on as I break down the entire mastery build.

The Shaman Gathering Storm build gives players a vastly improved clearing speed, which is useful in the Monoliths where enemy hordes can quickly overwhelm your character. This build makes use of a lot of Lightning Abilities, so it may take some time to craft specific gear and rolls that make this build stand out.

All of the passive abilities above provide a ton of resistance to Lightning and increased damage output with Gathering Storm, while remaining tanky with increased health and health regeneration. I bought the Harmony of Blades (i.e. Primalist's version of Dual Wielding), because it can increase your attack speed with the right gear.

Of course, we're using the Shaman Mastery Passives in this build. However, the passives I chose were mostly offensive passives, but what about defense? In this case, I chose to use the Beastmaster Passive Skill Tree because of the cool passive I discovered while building my Beastmaster Squirrel character.
