Build Overview

This is Build Guide for my RAMPAGE SPEED BEAR Druid Build for League Starter and Endgame for 0.4 and 0.5 Leagues.

Twitch for questions! - twitch.tv/ronarray

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Changes in 0.5 (Still Very STRONG!):

Since we don't use ES as the defense there, build avoided most of the 0.5 nerfs and should still be VERY strong and viable. It is a very good setup for Druid which can be very FAST compared to other melee options.

After the Nerf to Bhatair's Vengeance, it's required to get MORE Cold damage on gear + Extra Physical on Weapon to reliably explode. You will STILL explode, just need more investment to do it consistently.

❗ If you're not exploding with Herald of Ice, use Polcirkeln or swap if for Herald of Ash until you get enough cold dmg to reliably explode.

▸ Why Bear Druid?

At the moment, Bear Druid is looking like both - build with a FAST map clear AND decent single target, all of that while being Tanky with armor stack + Defiance of Destiny.

To be FAST we are going to use Rampage Bear Skill which allow us to run forward with improved speed while Slaming everything around. With Decent Setup we can reach 120%+ Movement speed while in Rampage.

Combining Rampage with Walking Calamity + Herald for the Clear can be VERY effective to keep the speed, while Walking Calamity + Shockwave Totem + Rampage will decimate bosses.

▸Vendor REGEX (copy paste it in the vendor search in the game):

This regex will show you movement speed boots, +level to skills and attack speed items.

"\d+% i.+mov|^\+.*ills$|ck spe"

▸ Campaign Rewards:

Venom: Stun Threshold,

Tattoos: Resistances

Pillars: Resistances, Movement Speed or Global Defense

Shark Fin: Any, both are amazing, 30% a bit better

▸Order of Following Versions:

Act 1-3 --> Act 4-Inter --> Early Endgame --> Mid Endgame --> Late Endgame --> Min Max

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • YOU ARE A BEAR!
  • Very FAST (128%+ MS)
  • Tanky if used with Defiance of Destiny
  • Great Clear with Rampage
  • Explodes Screen
  • Decent Bossing
  • Rage Management
  • Animations

❗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.

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.

Set ALL skills to weapon set 2 + use Maul from weapon set 2 as well.

Only skills in Weapon set 1 are Walking Calamity and Lunar Assault.

How it Works

If your Rampage gets interrupted

There can be several reasons why it's happening.

  • Make sure that you're holding the button. Since Rampage is a channeling skill, we need to actually press and hold the button while running
  • You shouldn't run INTO monsters. Just run close to them so that your stomps would kill everything.
  • You're running into walls. In narrow maps with tight corridors it helps to hold the mouse curson close too your character for a more precise control.
