Build Details

How It Works
Summary

This is a fast and deadly boss killer build that relies on staying in Werewolf form using the Tempest Roar Unique. Damage is done by "Double Dipping" and applying multiple poison stacks using Tornado.

This build will have spirit issues if you misplay. Playing without a generator is fine but requires you to understand how spirit is generated in the build. Hurricane is a huge source of mana for the build, every critical strike will generate spirit and all source of spirit gets increased with the resource generation affix on your rings and totem. As long as you don’t spam Shred/Tornado without hitting enemies, you shouldn’t suffer. It feels pretty bad at the start while you are inexperienced, but it gets better as you get used to the build.

The new unique Tibault's Will should help with your resource generation, so be sure to spam these Earthen Bulwarks when you need more resources and the same goes for your Dashes which will now help generate even more resources when combined with the Vampiric Power Metamorphosis

Double Dipping is our main source of Damage, we apply poison with Tornado thanks to the passive Toxic Claws (+2 on the amulet is very important) and the poison will pop thanks to the Blurred Beast Aspect. When the pop happens, your Shred will have dealt more damage than normal and that damage will provide even more poison. Repeating this process will increase our damage to Infinity. Every source of multiplier that affects poison will also likely dip twice and massively increase our damage.

Note: Grizzly Rage is not a core part of the build anymore after the nerfs!

In-Depth Explanation

Core Skill

The main core skill we use in this build is Shred. It’s kind of a special skill because it requires a fine touch from the player, the Blurred Beast Aspect will only activate if your Shred dashes and this only happens when you are not in melee range of the target. Therefore, to play this build it will require you to perform an Orb Walk similarly to how you would play an AD Carry in a MOBA.

This build also uses Tornado not as a source of damage, but to stack Poison. Shred is still our main source of damage.

Gameplay Loop

  3. Activate Blood Howl
  4. Spam Tornado till the enemy is stacked with Poison
  5. Use Shred to one shot Lilith by proccing Blurred Beast
