[0.4] Tri's Fire Bear Shaman

The 0.4 patch for Path of Exile 2 introduced the Druid, shapeshifting, and the Shaman ascendancy. This build, focused around one specific form, the Bear, combines multiple skills together to form a roaring bastion of destruction using physical and fire damage. It's also quite tanky and, after the bug fixes in subsequent 0.4 patches, not clunky at all to play. I'd describe it as "maces but much smoother".

Try out this build if you:

• Like combo gameplay
• Would like to be a bear
• Are fine being a bit slower than other powerful builds

Clear

Use Furious Slam into Maul, Walking Calamity when ready, and when at Maximum Rage, use Rampage to run around enemies or traverse distance in the map.

Bosses/Very Tanky Rares

Use Fury of the Mountain to spawn lots of fissures beneath enemy, place down a Shockwave Totem to trigger said fissures, activate Walking Calamity, use Furious Slam, then attack with Maul until the enemy is dead. Using Rampage is optional for cool factor.
