Important Notes

Important Notes

  • Prickleskin can be changed to Wariness for survivability.

Skill Rotations

  1. Activate Lightning Storm. You can re-activate this when you reach 4 stacks of Ferocity and after Wolves get their Attack Speed buff.
  2. Activate Hurricane for a Movement Speed buff and to Weaken enemies.
  3. Use and maintain Grizzly Rage consistently for armor and damage.
  4. Spam Earth Spike to kill everything.
  • Wolves are entirely passive and give an Attack Speed buff.
  • Cyclone Armor is entirely passive for survivability.
  • Earthen Bulwark is triggered through the Que Rune exclusively, so it does not need to be on the Skill Bar. It gives Barrier, Resolve stacks, and Unstoppable.

Skill Tree

Available2 (0)
Spent69 (12)

Important Notes

  • Earthen Bulwark is used by the Que Rune so it will not be on the Skill Bar.

Paragon Board

mportant Notes

  • 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.

Glyph Leveling Order

  1. Spirit
  2. Earth and Sky
  3. Dominate
  4. Outmatch
  5. Headhunter

Mercenaries

Important Notes

  • Rahier can be used for more survivability but Subo is ideal for seeing enemies on the minimap early for effective dashing with Claw.

Frequently Asked Questions

This build utilizes various synergies related to Basic, Earth, Werebear, Critical, Overpower, Resolve, Physical, and Petrify.

  • The Basilisk synergizes into Linta of the Red Wolf Moon(Different name in-game. Mobalytics mistake) and also provides 100% Critical Strike Chance which frees up a ton of itemization in the rest of the build for other stats such as Attack Speed and damage.
  • Godslayer Crown pulls enemies in constantly allowing for easy clears.
  • Will of Stone changes Earth Spike into a ranged projectile which explodes on impact into several Earth Spikes.
  • Paingorger's Gauntlets when paired with Hurricane allow for a damage echo when we attack enemies with Earth Spike.
  • Might of the Ursine gives a huge damage increase based on Resolve stacks which we have plenty of.
  • Grizzly Rage provides various buffs such as Fortify, Berserking, Armor, and additional damage.
  • Calm Before the Storm allows us to maintain Grizzly Rage fairly consistently.
  • Earth Spike maintains constant maximum Overpower stacks for increased damage.
  • Sinister Tendrils applies Poison which unlocks the damage of Sinister Tendrils and Heightened Malice. Not to mention Aspect of the Changeling's Debt if you are using it at any point.
  • Que Rune allows for constant Earthen Bulwark procs despite not being on the Skill Bar during Grizzly Rage.
  • Debilitating Roar offers even more survivability.
  • Claw uses its dash upgrade to provide plenty of movement while also stacking Ferocity for more Attack Speed.

Changelog

  • Fixed the doubled up affixes error that Mobalytics introduced.
  • Season 14
  • Mid-Game and End-Game tabs now.
  • Paragon Boards optimized.
  • General guide improvements such as recommended Glyph leveling order.
  • Fixed Skill Tree mistake and updated to my current tested version for more survivability. No loss, only gains! Debilitating Roar has no Cooldown now.
  • Added details about bugs I discovered while playtesting.
  • Overcharged Aspect replaced Tibault's Will but both are still good options. This change removes the need for Vulnerable in other places and Legendary items are easier to optimize. Changed Runes to compensate.
  • Aspect of Glynn's Anvil removed due to bugged DR.
  • Stat priorities updated.
  • Fractured Runestone removed from default recommendation since Legendary rings are easier to optimize, but a good Fractured Runestone is still BiS.
  • The Basilisk can't be a Charm so swapped with Godslayer Crown.
  • Aspect of the Moonrise added to gloves.
  • Season 13
