Best Skills to level Primalist in Last Epoch Season 2

Pimalist brings a great combination of defence and damage, enough to face tank strong enemies. To do that, we must set up skills through the leveling process. Start with Gathering Storm paired with Summon Wolf as initial damage skills.

A few level-ups should grant you access to Fury Leap for faster clear speed. Replace Gathering Storm with Swipe. Use Eterra's Blessing for healing. Upon reaching Level 10, add Tempest Storm to your damage until you get access to Tornado.

Once you unlock Tornado, this will be your damage and a crowd control ability. After reaching Level 20, unlock Werebear Form. Pair Tornado with Rampage in Werebear Form to quickly finish off enemies and use Fury Leap to travel.

Defence and damage combo recommendation (Image via lastepochtools)

Picking Druid means we can start building our defenses early on. Natural Attunement and Hunter’s Restoration will be the best picks early on for HP and resistances. Wisdom of the Wild will increase your spell damage.

Passives like Primordial Resonance and Primal Shifter are other important nodes for damage increase in the Druid Mastery. Chitionus Plating and Ursine Strength will provide more damage reduction.
