  • Cyclone Armor can give bonuses from Backlash and Vigilance, but will mostly be used for passive non-physical Damage Reduction.
  • Hurricane should always be used before Grizzly Rage to ensure that we get the bonus passive from Paingorger's Gauntlets.
  • Poison Creeper can also activate Paingorger's Gauntlets during Grizzly Rage while also helping to get the bonus on Wild Earth Spike.

  • Seismic-shift Aspect is what allows the build to function. It is 100% required.
  • Aspect of Adaptability scales from Spirit aka Maximum Resource.
  • Xan Rune increases the Overpowers in the build significantly.
  • Tibault's Will is the offensive option. Feel free to use Legendary pants with a defensive Aspect such as Aspect of Disobedience if needed.
  • Aspect of the Changeling's Debt, Subterranean Aspect, or Crashstone Aspect can be used if you're missing Ring of Starless Skies.

How it Plays

  1. Alternate Earth Spike and non-Werebear Skills to generate Quickshift stacks.
  2. Hurricane should always be used before Grizzly Rage to ensure that we get the bonus passive from Paingorger's Gauntlets.
  3. Activate Grizzly Rage and maintain it as much as possible.
  4. Use Debilitating Roar to reduce enemy damage and increase the damage they take.
  5. Kill everything with Earth Spike.
  6. Poison Creeper can be used to ensure that the bonus from Paingorger's Gauntlets is still active during Grizzly Rage.
  7. Cyclone Armor can give bonuses from Backlash and Vigilance, but will mostly be used for passive non-physical Damage Reduction.

How it Works

This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Basic, Earth, Werebear, Nature Magic, and Overpower damage.

  • Shapeshifting gives us many offensive and defensive bonuses such as Quickshift and Heightened Senses.
  • This build Overpowers often from Xan Rune and Obsidian Slam, which means that Willpower is a bigger priority than normal.
  • Seismic-shift Aspect is what allows our Earth Spike to change to a two line attack.
  • Shard of Verathiel increases our Basic Skill Damage, but adds a Spirit cost to the skill which we utilize for even more buffs such as the bonus damage from Ring of Starless Skies.
  • We have several massive damage multipliers that scale this build as well as a ton of Attack Speed!
  • Aspect of Adaptability allows us to scale our damage from Maximum Resource for a large multiplier.
  • This build utilizes many other buffs to scale our damage to insane levels!

Attack Speed Breakdown

Attack Speed has 2 categories and each Cap has a maximum of 100%. Ideally, you want to stack some of both bonuses without going over 100% and wasting the bonus.

Cap 1:

  • Attack Speed Elixer
  • Paragon Nodes
  • Gear Affixes
  • Swooping Attacks

Cap 2:

  • Shard of Verathiel
