This build has requires ZERO resource management and uses Greatstaff of the Crone!

This build is amazing on a controller!

Dash through the screen slashing enemies and destroying them with Claw. You'll never be short on resources which means you can endlessly spam without pause. This encapsulates the melee bruiser playstyle perfectly! It's especially nice for people that hate visual clutter or struggle to avoid ground AoE due to noisy ability VFX.

  • Check additional tabs for Early-Game, Mid-Game, or End-Game variations of the build.

  • Wolves is used for a passive 40% Attack Speed boost.
  • Grizzly Rage passively buffs our damage by 200%[x] when it stacks fully.
  • Cyclone Armor is a large passive amount of Resistance to All Elements.
  • Que Rune allows Earthen Bulwark to be used automatically without being on the skill bar for a massive passive Barrier, maximum Overpower stacks, and maximum Resolve stacks.
  • Debilitating Roar gives a large Damage Reduction to enemies hit and 20% Maximum Life to us for the duration.
  • Claw is used for mobility and damage.
  • Calm Before the Storm will help reduce the Cooldown of Grizzly Rage.
  • Iron Feather can be used instead of Overload for more survivability.

Important Notes

  • Greatstaff of the Crone is required for this build to function!
  • Increased Gem Bonuses is the ideal Transfigure for Greatstaff of the Crone. Everything else can be Transfigured with the Entropic Tuning Prism to prevent bricking items.
  • Gar Rune can be swapped for various useful options such as Mot for more survivability.
  • Any defensive Aspects can be used in place of Heir of Perdition such as Aspect of Might or you can use Godslayer Crown for additional damage and pull.
  • Second ring shares stat priorities with first ring.

Stat Benchmarks

  • Maximum Life should be on nearly every piece of gear.
  • It's much harder to hit caps in Season 13 but the Seal and random Transfigure affixes will help.
  • Attack Speed affix x2 to near or hit 100%.
  • Critical Strike Chance affixes plus Heir of Perdition and Gar Rune is good up to 100%.
  1. Stack as much Critical Strike Damage Multiplier as possible.
  2. Stack as much Vulnerable Damage Multiplier as possible.
  3. Stack as much All/Lightning Damage Multiplier as possible.
  4. Stack as much Willpower as possible.
  5. Use All Resistance and Armor as filler stats on defensive items.
  6. Fire Resistance>Lightning Resistance>Physical Resistance>Poison Resistance>Others
  7. Cooldown Reduction is useful for maintaining Grizzly Rage but not necessary.


Talismans

Talisman Priority
+7

Important Notes

  • Mobalytics has the names of the set charms wrong, so pay attention in-game to get the Stoicism bonus. The correct name is "of theDen Mother" in-game.
  • Ranks to Werebear Skills is ideal to scale Claw damage and increase Grizzly Rage duration.
  • Ranks to Nature Magic Skills is second best to scale Claw and 3 other skills (This is BiS if Grizzly Rage duration and cooldown is sorted).
  • Ranks to any other applicable damage tags are also very good.
  • Defensive stats such as Resistances are solid choices on Charms.

  • This is NOT a leveling build, so there is no leveling path. You can use the Mid-Game tab for the best early game option.

Paragon Board

Important Notes

  • I will sometimes take paths that are one node longer than needed to get more Willpower through the pathing.
  • Prioritize getting all Legendary Nodes before all else. Example: Survival Instincts
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 15 before going higher unless you cannot equip the next Glyph yet.
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 50 before going higher on any.

Glyph Leveling Order

  1. Spirit
  2. Werebear
  3. Earth and Sky
  4. Dominate
  5. Fang and Claw

Mercenary

Important Notes

  • Subo is primarily being used to make enemies visible on the map which makes target aquisition easier for Claw dashes.
  • Varyana can be used to get additional healing with Taste of Flesh.

How it Plays

Skill Rotations

  1. Activate Hurricane to begin marking enemies with Paingorger's Gauntlets and Weaken.
  2. Activate Grizzly Rage to increase damage.
  3. Focus elite mobs or the center of enemy packs.
  4. Dash into enemies and begin killing them with Claw.
  5. Cast Debilitating Roar to reduce enemy damage and buff Maximum Life as needed.
  6. Finish of any enemies with Claw and dash to the next pack.

Additional Notes

  • Earthen Bulwark, Cyclone Armor, and Wolves are all passive and should never be used.
  • Cyclone Armor can be used to push enemies away in a pinch.

How it Works

This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Basic, Werebear, Storm, Lightning, and Nature Magic to deal way more damage than normal!

  • Greatstaff of the Crone is the primary catalyst of the build. It gives Lightning Claw Claw, Dash Claw, and Viper Strikes Claw for free allowing for many synergies and very good mobility.
  • We're changing Claw into a Werebear skill to allow for synergies with Might of the Ursine primarily and other such as Survival Instincts.
  • Berú of the Storm Shepherd (Actually called Den Mother) also synergizes with Werebear form to give additional damage and damage reduction.
  • We're stacking Maximum Resolve stacks to buff Might of the Ursine as much as possible. This is a pivotal part of the damage scaling in this build.
  • Hurricane damage will mark enemies with Paingorger's Gauntlets and allow for significant AoE improvements along with damage.
  • The rest of the kit increases damage and survivability in various ways as well.
