[0.4] Shaman BEAR Druid Build - League Starter to Endgame

📝Step by Step guide how to craft ALL Gear - Link

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

❗Trade Links (Change the League to the one that you are playing):

Cheap Scepter, Expensive Scepter, Against the Darkness, Heart of the Well, Cheap Morior

Expensive morior, Expensive Prism, Cheap Prism

❗IMPORTANT MANA FIX:

To Fix the Mana situation you need to roll Physical Damage Leech as mana on your RING or a Weapon. This is MANDATORY to avoid running out of mana if you cast a lot.

If you just use Rampage - mana should be alright

❗How to Survive Better:

This version should have 3100+ Life and enough armour with updated tree, swap Defiance of Destiny back in if you face survivability issues.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

❗ Expensive Gear Priority

To help you spend currency more efficiently, make sure to spend your currency on expensive things that provide the most benefit.

1. Get Headhunter ASAP, especially if you're trying to farm overjuice.
2. Really good weapon for damage and Morior Invictus to fix survivability.
3. Get enough Armour and Life on the rest of the items to feel tankier.
4. Get a good Amulet with + Melee Skills & lots of Rarity (for farming).
5. Improve the rest of the gear.
6. Prism of Belief and Uul-Netol's Embrace are NOT MANDATORY. You should buy them LAST after upgrading everything else.

▸ What kind of Weapon to Pick:

Talisman

For Bear Druid Build we will need to use Talisman which is a two handed melee weapon.

• Perfectly you just need a high Physical Dmg one - if there is an option to go elemental instead, try to get flat Cold.
• A stat that boost damage by A LOT is "Gain extra damage as Physical". It's HUGE. You need this for the Herald of Ice Explosions.
• Other stat that boosts the DMG by A LOT is + level to Attack skills.
• Other stats such as Attack speed are great to have, mostly for QoL.
• Look for the Talismans that provide Rage as an implicit.

Talisman crafting is very deterministic currently, check this video for step by step process.

Sceptre

Thanks to the Lord of the Wilds we can use the sceptre to get TONS of damage and utility.

• To fit Charge Regulation and Herald of Ice, you will need to get a Sceptre with 140+ Spirit.
• Ideally 3 socket, 2 socket works too.

❗The base should provide ONE OF THE PURITY AURAS. Nothing else will work for us, ONLY Purity of Fire, Purity of Ice, Purity of Lightning

▸ Armour options

Body Armour

Morior Invictus should have Chaos, Life, All res as socket. Trade Link can be found above.

Gloves

• Getting + levels to melee skills on gloves is mandatory for better dmg.
• Attack speed is great for damage and QoL.
• To make the Herald of Ice explosions more stable in maps, get flat Cold Damage.
• Flat Physical is good to aim for too.

Boots

• Focus on getting as high movement speed as possible, preferably 35%, but don't disregard defensive stats either.
• Get as many Resistances as you can and Life.

▸ Jewellery

Amulet

Rare Amulet should have:

• + 3 melee skills for more damage is very good to have
• Get Mana Regen to improve Rage regeneration rate
• Defensive stats like Life/Armour/Res
• A LOT Of RARITY
• Instill Bestial Rage

Rings

• Flat Physical damage to attacks for improved damage.
• To make the explosions for your Herald of Ice more stable, get flat Cold Damage to Attacks
• MANA Leech is mandatory on one ring to feel comfortable
• Life Leech is also an option if you have space
• Get Mana regeneration rate to improve your Rage regen
• For defence it's Life and Resistances
• If you can get more Chaos resistance from rings, it will help a lot

▸ Jewel Stats

Rares Jewels: In this version, you just need Movement speed + Attack damage on the one Rare jewel that you can use.

For Heart of the Well: you NEED Damage as Extra Cold (for Herald Explosions), other nice stats are Movement Speed and other Extra Damage.

Here's the Trade link for the basic Extra Cold version.

Megalomaniac should have any 2 DMG nodes, check video to see mine.

Prism of Belief should have +2 or +3 to Rampage to maximize dmg. It's not mandatory.
