Build Summary

Cataclysm was the top Druid Endgame build during Season 6, and it's set for MASSIVE upgrades in Season 7! The Cataclysm Druid amplifies its damage by snapshotting guaranteed Overpower Critical Strikes with the Invocation runewords Qax and Xan. This build is exceptionally effective at wiping out both massive groups of enemies and tormented bosses. It will once again be among the prime choices for Druids aiming to conquer high-tier Pits.

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop
  • Build up your Xan and Qax runewords
  • Cast Cataclysm
  • Dashing through enemies with Flickerstep boots
  • Cast Hurricane when off cooldown
  • Use Blood Howl and Debilitating Roar to maintain your passive buffs
  • If you find yourself under control impairing effects use Earthen Bulwark
How It Works

The build functions by combining the uniques Tempest Roar and Mjölnic Ryng with the invocation runewords Xan and Qax to cast an Overpower Critical Cataclysm. The build is further improved by incorporating Airidah's and Flickerstep boots to shore up its weak points by stacking mod packs and reducing cataclysm's cooldown. Several new improvments are being made to the build for season 7 which include new aspects, buffs to exising passives and legendary nodes, and the brand-new Ritual runeword Igni which will make activating Qax incredibility easy.

On top of all that, we have a new and powerful seasonal mechanic that with no doubt send Cataclysm climbing up the tier list!
