PUDDLE PULVERIZE SEASON 11

• This is a complete Pulverize guide. Here you’ll find everything you need to start this build from zero all the way into endgame. We’ll need a key item like Rotting Lightbringer, so our Pulverizecan create poison puddles that massively increase our damage. Aspects like Aspect of the Ursine Horror are important as well, to convert our Bear skills into Earth skills…
• A powerful build that, in Season 11, is once again at the top!

STARTER

• Use Claw to recover Spirit and also trigger the Quickshift passive by alternating it with Pulverize.
• Use Pulverize and apply Vine Creeper to poison your enemies. Once you have Purge of Infected, this won’t be necessary, but it’s still useful for crowd control.
• Use your defensive skills to survive in battle, like Blood Howl and Earthen Bulwark.
• Petrify will immobilize enemies and also boost our damage, as we gain an extra % of Critical Strike Damage.
• IMPORTANT: A ring with a chance to make enemies Vulnerable is key, especially at higher levels.

ENDGAME

• Alternate Claw and Pulverize to stack the Quickshift passive, up to 6 times.
• Use Grizzly Rage to stay in Bear Form constantly and gain all the bonuses while using your ultimate.
• Pulverize everything in your path.
• Use Debilitating Roar for Fortify and extra damage to the infested.

the Rotting Lightbringer. As most of us know, this item generates puddles around you, these puddles will guarantee Overpower damage hits and will deal 720% of its normal damage as poison, and also, when we hit those puddle splashes, they will deal 72% of their total damage.
Therefore, we are Overpower damage machines, all the time, every time we hit the puddles.
I recommend finding this item in the pants slot, since for the farm version you need boots with movement speed, and for the push, boots with Banished Lord Talisman.
Next, another key for this build: the ultimate Grizzly Rage, which was nerfed this season, but apparently it was a more strategic nerf, since Chaos Powers are quite broken for Druids this season. Therefore, if they left Grizzly Rage as it was before, the build would be too strong compared to others, so in the end, this nerf wasn’t noticed much; for now, we can breathe for a few months.
Grizzly Rage will be our permanent form when we use it, and this ulti gives us 40% more damage and 20% damage reduction, plus it increases its damage by up to 25% per second active. And finally, this ulti increases its active duration every time we kill monsters or trigger Overpower on bosses, which is why in pit bosses, the ulti never goes away, as Overpowers are guaranteed. Also, if we have it at rank 5, it gives us 30% more armor, which is very important in this build.
In short, it is the best ulti we can use for push and farm as well, so we don’t vary the build too much and it’s easier to transition from farm to pit push.
Next is the star aspect of this build, which is the Rabid Bear Aspect, which will convert our direct damage into poison damage, a perfect synergy for this build, and we will deal 160% more damage if we put it on our weapon. This aspect goes here, as it is a better multiplier than Retaliation, since our build is based on this type of Poison Overpower damage, so it scales better than Retaliation, which we will put on the amulet and still gives a good bonus.
The last aspect we will review is Ursine Horror Aspect… This aspect is indispensable in this build, since Pulverize is now an Earth skill, which means more damage multipliers and defenses in our build. Therefore, it is mandatory in every way.
In general, these are the most important things of this build, the base, so to speak. With this information, we start building the build

PUDDLE SECTION

• Shroud is replaced with Banished Lord’s Talisman, giving us room to use boots with Movement Speed and Willpower, and to apply the
  Ursine Horror Aspect on them.
• On the gloves, we’ll place Changeling’s Debt for more damage.
• Some Temperings were changed to optimize damage — Pulverize Size isn’t the best option for pushing, so it was replaced with Werebear Overpower Damage, and on the boots, we’re using Cyclone Armor Active Size to pull in more enemies.
• The POC - QUE runes play a key role in this build — they activate Wild Transformation and also grant extra resistances, allowing us to better benefit from the Survival Instincts node and the Retaliation Aspect.
• Crazy Brew was swapped for Wild Transformation.
• The mercenaries were changed — we’re using Subo to gain Critical Strike Damage and Raheir as reinforcement.
