This build is amazing on controller and uses the Waxing Gibbous!

In this build you will dash around like crazy killing enemies as you go. Shred is an extremely satisfying ability to use! If a machine gun could be a skill, this would be the one. With this build you'll turn Shred into a Storm skill!

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

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • EXTREMELY FAST
  • Very good DPS

Important Notes

  • Ifeh's Dire Totem is required for this build to function!
  • It's very hard to max Critical Strike Chance now, so do your best.
  • If you have Seal of the Diamond Mind you can move Dirge of Airidah to ring and use Berú of the Red Wolf Moon for a nice survivability boost!

Alternate Items & Aspects

  • Crushing Aspect
  • Conceited Aspect
  • Aggressive Aspect
  • Neurotoxic Aspect
  • Tibault's Will is the better offensive choice if you don't need the Damage Reduction from Aspect of Debilitating Toxins.
  • Thundergod's Blessing is rare but if you get one with good affixes it is worth using.
  • Others can provide some smaller benefits.

Things to Test

  • If Shifter's Aspect is working with Archdruid's Aspect after the changes to Archdruid's Aspect. If it's not working then Shifter's Aspect will be removed and Archdruid's Aspect be replaced.
  • Aspect of Anger Management would be a good alternative to Shifter's Aspect if Aspect of Anger Management's damage portion actually works now.

Important Notes

  • Skill point distribution will depend on your needs. Earthen Bulwark should be 100% Barrier, Debilitating Roar should be 100% uptime, and the rest can be dumped into Cyclone Armor for more survivability or Lightning Storm for more damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Core, Werewolf, Storm, Lightning, and Nature Magic to deal way more damage than normal!

  • Waxing Gibbous gives a massive boost to Shred DPS.
  • We're using Ifeh's Dire Totem to change Grizzly Rage into a Werewolf skill to allow Shred to be used with it.
  • We're also using Dark Howl to change Debilitating Roar into a Werewolf skill.
  • Berú of the Storm Shepherd gives unlimited resources and a large damage increase.
  • Berú of the Red Wolf Moon gives insane sustain and additional damage.
  • Hurricane and Lightning Storm damage will give additional Calm Before the Storm procs and help with AoE clear.
