HARDCORE FRIENDLY: The Bouldercaine Bear isn't changing much for Season 9 and is still one of the most enjoyable builds in Diablo 4. The new season 9 Horadric Spells will spice things up enough to keep most player entertained. However, do be aware season 9 is bringing a MASSIVE nerf to overpower. So, if you're a returning Druid player who loves Bouldercane or a new Druid player looking for an awesome build Bouldercaine Bear is ready to ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!

How it Works
Now if you want to play Bouldercane you're going to NEED a Dolmen Stone amulet. Dolmen Stone causes your boulders to rotate around you while you have Hurricane active. Then, you're going to need a Vasily's Prayer to turn Boulder into a Werebear skill so you can maximize your overpower potential! After you have everything assembled you want to stack out as much Willpower/Overpower damage to send your boulder damage into the stratosphere! Hurricane Duration is the next hurdle. Make sure you have at least 2 Hurricane Duration tempers on your gear and invest into some Nature Magic cooldown on your amulet.
The next part is my personal favorite, Resource Generation! The key to infinite boulder spam is the resource temper CASTING WRATH SKILLS RESTORES PRIMARY RESOURCES. With just one temper and one or two masterwork crits casting boulders will actually give you resources back. Combining this with the invocation rune Xan and Ohm for even more damage. However, if you are a diehard Pit Pusher swapping Ohm to Qax and using Ring of Starless Skies is the way to go.
Aside from all the standard stuff, the powerful new seasonal mechanic gives us an easy way to apply poison with Corrosive Vapor and big damage buffs as well! So, get out there and give it a whirl! You won't regret it!
