Pulverise - Levelling

This Druid Levelling Build focuses on optimising the Damage from Pulverise whilst staying tanky enough to easily get to Level 60.

Check the How It Works Section below to learn how the Pulverize Druid smashes levelling.

If you've hit Level 60 check out the ENDGAME GUIDE which will take you to T4 and beyond or head to the TIER LIST for all other available endgame builds.

I'l be live streaming most evenings (GMT) on Twitch, YouTube, Kick or X. This is a great time to come ask me questions directly!

The main focus here is to scale your Pulverize Damage where boosting your weapon will drastically increases the damage output of the build Whilst Levelling. The rest of the gear can be whatever you find and it is highly recommended to equip Defensive Aspects to help trivialise the Levelling Process.

The following steps are the recommended Build Rotation for skill usage:

• Cast Cyclone Armor to Pull-In Enemies
• Cast Petrify to Stun Enemies and generate Resource
• Cast Blood Howl to Regenerate Life and Resource
• Cast Claw to generate Resource
• Use Trample to Move Around Faster and Generate Resource
• Cast Pulverize liberally around the other skills.

Repeat each step as necessary

Build Overview

This Druid Levelling Build focuses on optimising the Pulverize damage across the build whilst staying tanky enough to beat all end game content. It does this through the following:

• Stacking Overpower Activations.
• Stacking Attack Speed.
• Staying Permanently Fortified.
• Converting Pulverize to be an Earth Skill.
• plenty of Resource Sustain through Skills, Aspects and Runes.
• Reducting and Resetting Skill Cooldowns as fast as possible.
• Damage Multipliers across the build.

Check out the In-Depth Explanations below for further details on the build.

Extra Details

With the correct gear this build should easily beat all the hardest content in the game. The Rotting Lightbringer will bring a level of play that was otherwise hard to play into before such as Poisoning Enemies with ease allowing us to later on play into Poison Damage related damage scalers.
