This build is amazing on controller and uses the Waxing Gibbous! I've personally cleared Pit 125 on SSF without Mythics or Transfigures and the build has cleared 135+ already.

In this build you will dash around like crazy killing enemies as you go. Shred is an extremely satisfying ability to use! If a machine gun could be a skill, this would be the one. With this build you'll turn Shred into a Storm skill!

  • Check additional tabs for Mid-Game and End-Game variations of the build.

  • EXTREMELY FAST
  • TRILLIONS OF DAMAGE
  • Fun & satisfying gameplay

Important Notes

  • Ifeh's Dire Totem is required for this variation of the build to function! (Check the Early-Game tab for the alternative setup.)

Farming Locations

  • Malefic Crescent - Beast in the Ice
  • Dark Howl - Urivar
  • Waxing Gibbous - Lord Zir
  • Tibault's Will - General Pool
  • Ifeh's Dire Totem - Harbinger of Hatred
  • Dirge of Airidah - Astaroth
  • Thundergod's Blessing General Pool
  • Azurewrath General Pool (Convert to Charm in the Horadric Cube)

For General Pool unique items, the best results I've had is from upgrading a white Ancestral of the correct base type to Unique in the Horadric Cube.

  • Earthen Bulwark is used automatically with Que Rune for Barrier, Fortify, Healing, Resolve Stacks, and Overpower.
  • Blood Howl is used automatically with Malefic Crescent for Spirit generation.
  • Wolves are entirely passive for an Attack Speed buff.

  6. Grizzly Rage if you're struggling with uptime, but these are not worthwhile.

Skill Tree

Available1 (0)
Spent69 (13)

Important Notes

  • Skill point distribution will depend on your needs. Earthen Bulwark should be 100% Barrier, Debilitating Roar should be 100% uptime, and the rest can be dumped into Cyclone Armor for more survivability or Lightning Storm for more damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  • Waxing Gibbous gives a massive boost to Shred DPS.
  • We're using Ifeh's Dire Totem to change Grizzly Rage into a Werewolf skill to allow Shred to be used with it.
  • We're also using Dark Howl to change Debilitating Roar into a Werewolf skill.
  • Berú of the Storm Shepherd gives unlimited resources and a large damage increase.
  • Berú of the Red Wolf Moon gives insane sustain and additional damage.
  • Hurricane and Lightning Storm damage will give additional Calm Before the Storm procs and help with AoE clear.
  • Azurewrath combined with Thul creates explosions of damage that make tightly grouped enemies take insane damage.
