How it Plays

  1. Cast and maintain Hurricane always. Make sure the duration is longer than the Grizzly Rage duration.
  2. Use Claw to activate the Toxic Claws bonus or to build Quickshift stacks.
  3. Activate and maintain Grizzly Rage to gain many bonuses.
  4. Use Debilitating Roar to reduce enemy damage and increase the damage they take.
  5. Use Earthen Bulwark to activate Passive Skills that give Damage and Damage Reduction or to break free from CC if your Ultimate Skill is on Cooldown.
  6. Spam Boulder to kill enemies. Keep in mind that you can only have up to ten Boulder spinning around you at one time.

How it Works

This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Core, Earth, Nature Magic, Overpower, Poison, Werebear, and Non-Physical damage types.

  • Aspect of Metamorphic Stone turns our Boulder into a Core Skill.
  • Using Boulder while Hurricane is active causes them to spin around us due to Dolmen Stone.
  • Vasily's Prayer turns our Earth Skills into Werebear Skills which opens up a lot more damage and utility.
  • This build Overpowers a lot due to Xan Rune, Provocation, and Obsidian Slam, which means that Willpower is a bigger priority than normal.
  • The rest of the kit is stacking damage and survivability.

Changelog

  • Season 12 pre-season changes
  • Season 11 pre-season changes
  • Updates throughout the build after testing.
  • Build revision due to interaction that doesn't work.
