Build Overview

  • Click Screamheart above to see all of my builds!

Pulverize is the most reliable leveling option for the Druid! You will slam the ground and kill everything inside the AoE! Nearly every Aspect in this build can be acquired from dungeons without relying on RNG to progress.

  • Check out my profile above to find the Mid-Game and End-Game variations.

Strengths and Weaknesses

How it Plays

  • Cast and maintain Cataclysm as much as possible.
  • Use Pulverize to kill everything.
  • Utilize Wind Shear to regain Spirit in-between.
  • Trample can be used for a big burst of Spirit or movement.
  • Blood Howl can be used for some Spirit and healing.
  • Earthen Bulwark can be used to break free from CC.

How it Works

This build can use many Aspects that are easily farmed from dungeons in the Early Game. That means there is no reliance on RNG to be powerful.

  • This build takes advantage of Overpower Damage from multiple sources which means that Willpower is more valuable than normal.
  • Aspect of the Ursine Horror allows Pulverize to become an Earth Skill, which means more damage and it also reduces Cooldowns.
  • The rest of the kit increases damage, survivability, and utility in various ways.
  • Once you get Rotting Lightbringer, check my profile by clicking Screamheart above to find the Mid-Game and End-Game variations.

  • Season 11 updates.
