Build Overview

HARDCORE FRIENDLY: PULVERIZE HAS BUFFS!!! Season 9 is the season of Druid Buffs for and Pulverize is going to be significantly better than it was in Season 8! Obsidian Slam spirit boon will still be your go to for overpowers but, be aware that overpower has been hit hard by the nerf bat for Season 9. The new seasonal mechanic will help clear through the early game so be sure to pick up your powers through the quest line ASAP. If you're look for a great Druid leveling build with progression into the midgame then you've come to the right place!

How it Plays

  • Cast Claw to Generate Resources
  • Spam Pulverize
  • Cast Poison Creeper on Elite Packs for Crit Chance Buff and Poison
  • Use Earthen Bulwark to Break Control Effects
  • Stack Provocation buff to Overpower Cataclysm for easy early Boss Kills

How it Works

Getting your hands on the Shockwave and Blood Boiling aspect will be the key to really getting this leveling build off the ground. However, the build still has plenty of damage to carry you even if you're experiencing a little new season bad luck. Early game Druid leveling has been significantly improved with big changes to the Gift of the Stag and Obsidian Slam boons. Use a combination of Umbral and Quicksand aspects to further improve resource generation. Skinwalker and Juggernaut aspects will toughen you up as you transition into the Mid-game. Magic runewords Gar and Qua will give you a much-needed boost to crit chance and movement speed.

When you find yourself up against a tough boss just use your provocation buff to cast an overpower Cataclysm and melt that joker.

Not only is this a great leveling build starting out, but it does exceptionally well when leveling alts! It's also a solid choice If you're looking to try out some Hardcore like me.

Mid-Tier Gameplay Loop

  • Cast Maul and Claw for Buffs
  • Spam Pulverize
  • Cast Debilitating Roar for damage and survivability buffs
  • Cast GRIZZLY RAGE for MASSIVE damage

Mid-Tier How It Works

So, you made it through the hard part. Great Job! Now it's time to assemble the Pulverize masterpiece! The Rotting Lightbringer is the name of the game for Season 9! You'll be cranking out overpowers like never before and that's with the guaranteed overpower on poison puddles. Even though Pulverize has great damage this season we'll be amping it up even further with our NeoQax runeword! When activated, you'll be hitting for Double Damage and don't worry about resources because Rotting Lightbringer has a massive roll of Resources Cost Reduction. !

Not only are we incredibly durable in Bear form but, we can also rely on Cyclone and Debilitating Roar to keep us on our feet in the toughest situations! We'll also be using Grizzly Rage for even more damage and damage reduction!
