Earth Spike

The mechanic of stacking Resolve is mandatory for dealing more damage thanks to Might of the Ursine. That’s why we use Resolve tempering on our chest, helmet, pants, and amulet

The new The Basilisk allows us to consistently land Critical Strikes against Petrified enemies. In this build, enemies are constantly being Petrified through Yom, Berú of the Old Mountain, and The Basilisk itself, making it one of the strongest weapon options available

Will of Stone grants additional projectiles in its Mythic version, significantly improving both coverage and consistency. This new setup also greatly enhances Earth Spike, giving the skill a new role in the build and making the overall gameplay feel much smoother and more enjoyable

RUNES

Neo + Yom This Rune combination constantly Petrifies enemies, creating powerful synergy with Locran's Talisman and The Basilisk, allowing us to consistently benefit from both effects.

Cir + Que is a mandatory Rune combination if we want to improve our survivability. It provides valuable defensive benefits while also activating several important effects, including Barrier generation and fortify

(2) Set Bonus:
Your Earth Skills apply Fossilize stacks to enemies, slowing them and increasing the Earth damage they take. At 4 stacks, enemies become Petrified for 3 seconds, turning them into guaranteed crowd-controlled targets while also making them take massive bonus Critical Strike Damage

(3) Set Bonus:
Fossilizing enemies grants 30% Damage Reduction for 15 seconds, giving the set strong defensive value during combat

(5) Set Bonus:
Petrified enemies absorb the damage you deal to them and explode when Petrify ends — or earlier if the stored damage exceeds their remaining Life — dealing massive burst damage based on the amount absorbed
