Build Overview

This is the Rabies Lacerate Druid build, it's one of the best Druid build for this season.

The build focuses heavily on the skill Rabies, with its special upgrade Superinfection Rabies that you unlock early.The very first event in the game already pushes you to level 7. So the build comes online extremely quickly and carries you smoothly through the early game.

Then for standard Spirit generation on Spiritborns we're using this tag to get Spirit. Getting 10 Spirit per second is actually insane in this expansion. They haven't really nerfed the Spiritborns so some of these have weird numbers that feel a little overpowered. The 30% maximum life from Iron Feather is really OP. Avian Wrath gives a 40% critical strike damage multiplier and it's insane. Energize is probably the best way to get Spirit back this season so it's insane. And we run Masochistic of course.

Unique Items

In terms of unique items we're using Mark of the Old Wolf. It boosts Rabies damage which directly buffs Lacerate Toxin Outburst Lacerate.

We're also running Dark Howl. This turns our Debilitating Roar into a werewolf skill and gives us a ton of damage. Plus it keeps us locked in werewolf form so we don't lose the buffs.

Mad Wolf's Glee lets Lacerate act as a core skill with no cooldown so we can spam it whenever we need.

Wildheart Hunger helps spread Rabies faster and ramps up the damage. It's strong but not required for the build to work.

For other strong options we have the Mythics. Ring of Starless Skies is insane with its damage multiplier and resource cost reduction but this season it's not the absolute strongest. If you want a Mythic specifically I'd go Heir of Perdition for almost double damage on most setups. And Harlequin Crest is great for extra ranks to both @Rabies and Lacerate which double dips our damage. The damage reduction on it is also pretty strong this season.

Why We're Using the Rush of the Red Wolf Moon

We're going with the Linta of the Red Wolf Moon. It's a powerful set for the werewolf and of course for the druid class overall. The two set bonuses just build up frenzy. But it really kicks in once you grab the five set bonuses because then you get Dash on all your werewolf skills. This means basically all our skills turn into teleports. We're gonna be faster than a sorcerer.

Mercenary

Mercenaries

For mercenaries, we always use Subo. He’s ideal for leveling too — he gives you movement speed and critical strike damage.

Our secondary mercenary is Varyana. Her Bloodthirst skill gives us some extra attack speed.

How it Plays

Activate your Hurricane to get the ball rolling.

  1. Keep up your Debilitating Roar for the Life and damage bonuses.
  2. Use Rabies as often as you can Rabies can stack.
  3. Use Lacerate to deal massive Poisoning damage in the area.

How it Works

The way the build works is pretty simple. We stack a lot of poison with Rabies and then pop it with the Lacerate passive. Lacerate has been reworked and thanks to Mad Wolf's Glee it's now a core skill with no cooldown which makes it pretty good. This build is therefore one of the strongest for Druid this season. It can also jump on target with any skill from the Werewolf school meaning it's a very mobile class.
