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.

ENDGAME

• We stack Quickshift using Maul and the Town Portal. This is explained in the Skills section of the Skill Tree
• Then we activate Grizzly Rage to gain all the buffs related to our ultimate
• Finally, we cast our Ravens to gain Critical Strike, and then continue with our Wolves to deal massive damage
• Cyclone Armor reduces non-physical damage passively. You don’t need to activate it—just having it on your skill bar is enough

LEVELING

• The way you play this build is quite simple. In the early levels, we only need to understand how the skills interact with each other in order to level efficiently.
• First, we have Wind Shear as our basic skill for Spirit regeneration. It also makes enemies Vulnerable and grants us movement speed, so it’s essential to keep it on our skill bar.
• Next, we have Lightning Storm, which works as a complementary ability to our companions. It deals good AoE damage and helps us clear large packs of enemies. To make the most out of it, cast it after using a Companion skill to benefit from the Clarity passive. In simple terms, this passive makes the next Core skill cast after a Companion skill deal increased damage and gain increased Critical Strike Chance. Because of this, Lightning Storm becomes an essential skill to control the battlefield from level 1 to 60.
• Next are our Wolves, the star of the build. This skill not only deals damage but also helps tank some hits from enemies. You should mainly use the Wolves when you need single-target damage, such as against Elites or Bosses. Otherwise, just let them roam beside you while they destroy everything around you.
• Then we have Ravens and Poison Creeper, which help with crowd control and additional damage, especially when you’re surrounded by enemies. They are excellent tools for area damage and CC.
• Finally, we have Blood Howl, our only defensive skill. It allows us to heal, increase our damage, and regenerate Spirit. Remember that Spirit regeneration helps us cast Lightning Storm more often.
• This is the most important part when leveling with this build: understanding how the skills interact with each other.

PRIMAL WOLVES

• The function of this build is pretty simple. Everything revolves around our main skill, Wolves. With Storm's Companion, we give them the Storm skill tag, so they benefit from Storm-style passives and Paragon nodes. Aspect of the Alpha adds the Werewolf tag, letting them also benefit from all passives and nodes associated with that tag
• Packleader boon is the most important mechanic, as it allows us to reset our Wolves cooldown faster, or almost instantly. But for this to work, we need a high Critical Chance, because this is how the reset triggers
• Grizzly Rage allows us to use our companion skill while it’s active. We’ll take advantage of this to boost our defenses and damage. It also lets us equip an aspect that greatly increases our final DPS, which is Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast
• Here’s where the cooldown reduction temperings for this skill come into play, and we’ll also use Flickerstep to reset it even faster
