POISON BOULDER - S12

• Welcome to the Boulder build. Here you’ll find a detailed guide on how to sweep through the Sanctuary with those spinning rocks you love so much.
• This build is perfectly positioned for FARMING, PUSHING, and ALL CONTENT in general. It’s a great all-around option you can take full advantage of if you have everything this guide will teach you

IMPORTANT:

• Bloodied items will be under testing during the season, and I’ll be adding them as I try them out. For now, good options are attack speed, crit chance, and movement speed.

The playstyle of this build is very smooth, especially for farming content, which is one of the most important parts since you’ll spend most of your time farming

• We’ll start with Claw, which we’ll use to stack the Quickshift passive by alternating between this skill and Boulder
• But before that, we’ll activate Cataclysm so we can have essentially infinite Spirit and start rocking with this build
• Then we activate Hurricane so we can cast our Boulder and start farming without any problems
• Cyclone Armor helps us reduce the damage we take

*For the Petrify version it’s the same, except this time we won’t activate Cataclysm for obvious reasons, but the entire loop is the same*

POISON BOULDERS

• We’ll explain the core mechanic of this build in a simple way, so you can understand how it works without going too deep. This build revolves around Dolmen Stone, which allows our Boulder to spin around us when we activate Hurricane before casting Boulder. That’s why we need Hurricane’s duration to be longer than its cooldown, so the Boulder can keep spinning all the time.
• Mjölnic Ryng allows us to use Cataclysm. This gives us essentially infinite Spirit, more movement speed, more critical chance, and also increases the range of Endless Tempest. This guarantees a longer duration for both Cataclysm and Hurricane. Cataclysm also needs to last longer than its cooldown so we can activate it whenever we want. On top of that, when we use Supreme Cataclysm, enemies also become Vulnerable.
• Vasily's Prayer will also be a key item, allowing our Boulder to gain the Werebear skill tag, further amplifying our damage
• You can use Insatiable Fury instead of Shroud of False Death Death without any problems}
• The most important tempering for this build is the chance for Boulder to deal double damage. This will increase our DPS so we can complete activities much faster

The Petrify version is played exactly the same — the variations are minimal
