This setup ensured 100% cataclysm uptime due to the increased chance to proc Calm before the Storm. Its also very demanding on your funds. Stormclaw is fun but at best A tier and very expensive to build. Still, its the comfort food of druid builds.

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

Gameplay strategy during leveling

  1. Cast Claw. Delete.
  2. Cast Earthen Bulwark on cooldown to shift back and forth. You also get to enjoy constant unstoppable uptime and MAX LIFE barrier.
  3. Cast Catacylsm to wreck havoc and trigger the new MjÖlnic Ryng for x100% dmg on everything. Keep in on cooldown.
  4. Cast Hurricane for 20% less dmg taken.
  5. Cyclone Armor to push back enemies once you are stuck inbetween critters. Otherwise, never use.

Maul Cast Maul inbetween Claws to prevent the Wildheart Hunger buff from falling off inbetween packs.

What Weapon should I use?

Crone.

How It Works

The Greatstaff of the Crone converts Claw to a Stormskill. It also allows Stormstrike to be cast everytime you cast Claw. This combined with the Nature's Fury Keystone allows you to proc Earth Spike with the Seismic-shift Aspect as a high dmg line nuke.

The Symbiotic Aspect further resets the cooldown on Earthen Bulwark giving us 100% uptime on it while also providing us with fortify. This also allows us to benefit from Quickshift since we are constantly switching between the human and werewolf form.

We will lastly utilize the new Tempers for Cataclysm cooldown in combination with the Fists of Fate and Spirit Boons to achieve 100% uptime on Cataclysm. This will further provide us with near 100% Vulnerable uptime on everything as well as 100% uptime on 100% more dmg due to the new MjÖlnic Ryng.
