GRIZZLY

Activate Grizzly Rage, then use Lightning Storm to engage in combat

Use Shred to start dealing damage while the storm follows you

Use Cyclone Armor to pull enemy packs together and optimize your damage.

Activate Blood Howll to gain its defensive and offensive buffs

STORM SHEPERD VERSION AND OLD MOUNTAIN

Activate Hurricane first to apply Weakened and reduce enemy damage, then cast Lightning Storm so it follows you permanently. After that, activate Cataclysm and jump into enemies with Shred to destroy everything. The build has no resource issues and Calm Before the Storm constantly resets your ultimate, making the gameplay extremely smooth and easy to play

GRIZZLY

This build works thanks to the Ifeh's Dire Totem, which allows us to use our Werewolf abilities during Grizzly Rage, since it transforms us into a Dire Werewolf instead of a Werebear

The main mechanic behind this build is maintaining high Spirit regeneration to sustain both Hero of the Storm Lightning Storm and Shred simultaneously. This increases your damage while also rapidly resetting your ultimate cooldown through Calm Before the Storm

This is where two essential resources come into play to keep both your Spirit and damage high. First, you need enough Spirit regeneration to continuously cast Lightning Storm and Shred. You’ll achieve this through affixes, boons, and Paragon, as explained in the previous sections

For damage, Critical Strike Chance is crucial due to how fast and consistently this build hits. That’s why prioritizing it—along with Critical Strike Damage Multiplier—is key to maximizing your damage

STORM SHEPERD

The Berú of the Storm Shepherd version is designed to comfortably clear Torment XII by fully taking advantage of the Storm Shepherd set. With this setup, our skills no longer consume resources, but we still need to constantly regenerate Spirit in order to maintain the maximum damage bonus at all times.

That’s where Malefic Crescent becomes essential, since it continuously activates Blood Howl, allowing us to regenerate Spirit through Spirit Howl Blood Howl. On top of that, we also take advantage of the Tibault's Will mechanic, further increasing our resource generation and making the build feel much smoother overall

Our setup is focused on maximizing Storm damage through Critical Strike multipliers, Vulnerable damage multipliers, and Lightning damage multipliers. These are essential for scaling our damage and creating strong synergies with aspects, Paragon boards, and glyphs, allowing us to build a very powerful version of Storm Shred Shred this season

OLD MOUNTAIN

The Old Mountain version follows a very similar gameplay style to the Storm Shepherd setup. The biggest difference comes from the inclusion of the Berú of the Old Mountain set, allowing us to fully take advantage of the strongest Druid set this season.

Thanks to Tectonic Spikes Cataclysm, this synergy becomes possible and greatly boosts our overall damage potential. In addition, we also incorporate a Seal of the Diamond Mind, which lets us continue benefiting from the 2-piece and 3-piece bonuses from the Berú of the Storm Shepherd set at the same time

A version has been added that is probably the strongest one for pushing so far, using Shred. I’ll be testing it this week!
