EPILEPSY WARNING - This build will flash bang you relentlessly. ;)

Stone Burst is a channeled ability that creates a massive AoE of stone that flashes as it destroys everything in the area!

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

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • SOLID DPS
  • Very Tanky
  • Easy to Play
  • ASMR
  • Torment 12+
  • Due to Berú of the Old Mountain 5 set bonus not working correctly, this is not doing as much damage as it could have done. However, the information listed here is up to date and performs well in Torment 12+.

Build Variants

This version of the build will be your BEST ALL AROUND SETUP for 90% of content.

  • If you are short on anything be sure to read the additional information written below each section for alternatives.

PTR Notes

  • Helm: Leoric's Crown with Splinter of Anguish socketed.
  • Helm Runes: NaguQue
  • I'm banking on the devs reducing the nerf to Might of the Ursine. I'll add it back in if they do.
  • 65% Basilisk, 15% Tempers, 69% Anguish, Dex 1%+ = 150% - 50% Locran's = 100% Crit Chance
  • Splinter of Sin
  • Black Soulstone (Needs testing in harder content to see if it can be maintained reasonably)

Important Notes (Will be updated later)

  • Might of the Ursine and The Basilisk are both important to target as Mythic items early.
  • Maximum Resolve Tempers are important to scale Might of the Ursine damage.
  • Critical Strike Chance is mostly not needed with The Basilisk. We're using Locran's Talisman which reduces Critical Strike Chance by 50%.
  • Tibault's Will is needed to maintain Spirit but Ring of Starless Skies can also solve this issue with some Spirit Regeneration as well.
  • Earthen Bulwark being triggered with Que Rune is important to activate Tibault's Will.

Farming Locations (Will be updated later)

  • Tibault's Will - General Pool
  • Fractured Runestone - Duriel (Convert to Charm in the Horadric Cube)
  • Gathlen's Birthright - Lord Zir
  • Might of the Ursine - Harbinger of Hatred
  • The Basilisk - Grigoire
  • Locran's Talisman - General Pool
  • Ring of Starless Skies - Iconic Mythic Pool

For General Pool unique items, you can upgrade a white Ancestral of the correct base type to Unique in the Horadric Cube. Chances depend on the number of unique items in that item type.

Alternate Items (Only intended as temporary substitutes) (Will be updated later)

  • Archdruid's Aspect (Damage)
  • Conceited Aspect (Damage)
  • Aspect of the Changeling's Debt (Damage)
  • Neurotoxic Aspect (Damage)
  • Aspect of Heavenly Strength (Survivability)
  • Aspect of Debilitating Toxins (Survivability)

Uniques

  • Fractured Runestone (Damage)
  • Fists of Fate (Damage)
  • Wyrdskin (Damage)

  • Endurant Faith (Survivability)

Stat Priorities (Will be updated later)

Offensive

  1. Critical Strike Chance (No more than 100%. Be sure to factor in The Basilisk and Locran's Talisman when totaling your Critical Strike Chance)
  2. Critical Strike Damage Multiplier (Main GA and Masterwork focus)
  3. Attack Speed (No more than 100% and factor in Wolves and Varyana.)
  4. Vulnerable Damage Multiplier (Masterwork upgrade at least one with GA)
  5. Elemental/All Damage Multiplier (Masterwork upgrade at least one with GA)
  6. Skill Ranks
  7. Weapon Damage (Only on weapons)
  8. Willpower (Always prioritize on armor)

Defensive

  1. Maximum Life (You want this on all items unless you feel you can remove some and stay alive)
  2. Resistance (Get as much as you can without giving up Willpower or other important affixes)
  3. Armor (Be sure to have at least one affix on items minimum, but get as much as you can)

Utility

  1. Movement Speed (No more than 200%)
  2. Cooldown Reduction (Just enough to maintain Grizzly Rage 100% of the time)

Talisman

PTR Notes

Important Notes (Will be updated later)

Important Notes (Will be updated later)

  • If you don't need the additional resources, you can swap Gift of the Stag for Wariness or Prickleskin.
  • Earthen Bulwark is used automatically with Que Rune for Barrier, Fortify, Healing, Resolve Stacks, and Unstoppable which is necessary to trigger Tibault's Will.
  • Wolves are entirely passive for an Attack Speed buff.
  • Poison Creeper is entirely passive for Fortify and activating Nagu.
  • Cyclone Armor is entirely passive Resistances and Damage Reduction.

Skill Rotations (Will be updated later)

  1. Use and maintain Grizzly Rage consistently.
  2. Hold Stone Burst to kill everything.
  3. Debilitating Roar can be used to lower enemy damage and increase Maximum Life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why am I squishy?

A: Survivability is all about stacking multiple layers of damage mitigation and sustain. You want Maximum Life on every piece of gear because it prevents one shots and your Barrier from Earthen Bulwark scales with Maximum Life. The build has great healing built in, so focus on reducing damage taken by stacking All Elemental Resistances and Armor. The Gems on jewelry are very high value to prevent the worst types of damage. Be sure to make sure you get Damage Reduction items and Aspects as recommended in the guide or alternatives listed below them.

Q: What are some ways I can improve my Spirit issues?

A: Energize & Gift of the Stag Spirit Boons | Spirit Regeneration, Resource Cost Reduction, Resource Generation, and Lucky Hit Chance for Spirit affixes | Tibault's Will & Ring of Starless Skies | Vulpine's Aspect & Balanced Aspect | And many more.

If you have additional questions or think I should add something here, let me know on my Twitch stream or in the Discord.
