Gift of the Stag will help us regenerate Spirit while also increasing our maximum Spirit. This lets us scale Cataclysm damage even further thanks to the Ancestral Guidance node

Avian Wrath is the best option here. It increases our Critical Strike Damage by 20%

Calamity helps us increase the duration of Cataclysm

Obsidian Slam works perfectly in this build thanks to Tectonic Spikes Cataclysm, since Cataclysm is now considered an Earth skill

Calm Before the Storm is crucial for resetting Cataclysm. This allows us to keep using it repeatedly before its duration runs out

Skill Tree

The biggest difference in the skill tree is replacing Hurricane with Wolves, since at these levels our Spirit regeneration is not very strong yet

Paragon Board

The Paragon setup is designed to reach the Legendary Nodes as quickly as possible
