This build is awesome on controller!

You will become a Boulder blender and destroy everything you come close to. The gameplay with this build is very satisfying because you can charge through enemies, casting Boulder as you run.

Check additional tabs for Early-Game, Mid-Game, or End-Game variations of the build.

Important Notes

Ner Rune is required to activate Tibault's Will for resources.
Critical Strike Chance will be solved between Heir of Perdition, Ring of Starless Skies, the weapon temper, and Critical Strike Chance Boulder.
We're purposefully not increasing Attack Speed and will likely feel like we're out of Spirit often. We are limited to 5 maximum Boulders spinning around us at once so we're maximizing damage rather than spam.

Important Notes

You can use either a 5 piece and Might of the Ursine as a Charm with Fractured Runestone on ring instead, or you can use Berú of the Den Mother 4 piece and Berú of the Old Mountain 2 piece if you have Seal of the Diamond Mind.

Important Notes

I will sometimes take paths that are one node longer than needed to get more Willpower through the pathing.
Prioritize getting all Legendary Nodes before all else. Example: Survival Instincts
Prioritize all Glyphs to level 15 before going higher unless you cannot equip the next Glyph yet.
Prioritize all Glyphs to level 50 before going higher on any.

How it Plays

Skill Rotations

Activate Hurricane and leave it active. Toggle this off to preserve Spirit if needed. Toggle on if it ever comes off.
Use Grizzly Rage to begind stacking damage and re-use it when you can.
Dash to enemies with Claw and use this to fill Spirit as needed.
Spam Boulder as you get resources to kill everything and position yourself to hit the most enemies with the spinning Boulders as possible.
Cast Debilitating Roar to reduce enemy damage as needed.

Cyclone Armor is for passive Resistances.
Earthen Bulwark will be cast automatically by Que Rune.

How it Works

This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Core, Earth, Nature Magic, Overpower, Physical, Werebear, and Wrath.

Dolmen's Will Boulder allows Boulder to be a Core skill.
We can also make Boulder a Werebear skill instead of Human skill in the upgrade path.
Might of the Ursine allows for insane Resolve stacking to increase damage output.
Dolmen's Will Boulder added a resource cost but Tibault's Will paired with Ner Rune solves most of the resource issues.
Berú of the Den Mother and Berú of the Old Mountain give us a bunch of damage and Damage Reduction. Both can be used if you have Seal of the Diamond Mind.
The rest of the kit is stacking damage and survivability.
