The Ultimate Pulverize Werebear Guide (Best Druid Build in Diablo 4)

hey guys in this video we're going to go over the strongest build for the Druid this build uses pulverize and trample as Earth skills to clear massive amounts of enemies and benefits from Earth passive skills thanks to our legendary aspects this build stays in where bear form permanently thanks to insatiable Fury it is incredibly tanky and is perfect for a hardcore run or if you just like to keep your character alive it also has the most Unstoppable mechanics out of Eddie build in the entire game so you are always in control of your character I'm gonna go through everything you need to know about this build starting with the aspects and the equipment so we have two uniques you probably guessed it vasily's prayer your Earth skills are now also wear bear skills and fortify you uh there's a range between five and ten this is great to just develop four to five there's a lot of skill synergies in the earth skill tree that help with making your skills more powerful when you have fortify but also we're going to be socketing with sapphires which is different than some of my previous builds so sapphires give you a flat damage reduction well fortified when you put it into armor so 2.5 five percent damage reduction well fortified per Flawless Sapphire there's even a better gym after this but this is what we're going to use sapphires we have vasily's prayer we've got insatiable Fury which says where bear form is now your true form and you gain plus two ranks to all wear bear skills we got two sapphires in there this is very good it's got overpower damage physical damage everything we use is physical damage everything every single offensive ability total armor well in Werebear form this is important because we're going to be using skulls in the jewelry which give you extra armor and so we're actually going to be looking for that uh affix percent total armor you can actually see this again on our necklace here we got plus 3.2 percent total armor and armor actually doesn't just help prevent physical damage it also reduces Elemental damage like poison Shadow Frost lightning Etc so we've got these two uniques and then in our gloves we've got gauntlets of the ursine horror the ursine horror aspect makes pulverize also an earth skill very important to get all of those Earth synergies says after using pulverized tectonics by likes continue to deal damage over two seconds this is actually really good because it can actually get them in this little tectonic Spike area and that's going to deal damage to them and apply a slow and thanks to our other aspect right here of the umbral the umbral aspect restore one to four of your primary resource as you crowd control this is huge if you can get a perfect roll of this this is going to really help your your damage and your sustainability because every time you crowd control an enemy you're going to be getting a resource back which is really really good and it really just allows you to keep playing your build without stopping now I kind of got a mid-roll here with two but the reason this is really great is because of how it synergizes with aspect of the quicksand damage from Earth skills slow enemies hit by 25 for five seconds so every single Earth skill that we have which is every single skill we're using actually uh is going to slow enemies which is really really awesome and that's thanks to right here facilities prayer your Earth skills are also wear bear skills and then you get plus two ranks to wear bear skills uh so that's a great Synergy there and then also we've made pulverize and Earth skill and we also hear on our ring aspect of the trampled Earth trample now summons six Landslide pillars during its duration that deal damage and trample is now a nature magic and Earth skill so every single ability we have here is an earth skill which is really really great it's going to help out a lot with our our synergies the next aspect here we have runic leggings of mending Stone I really like this defensive aspect because well this is a hardcore character first of all and any character you know obviously you want to survive and it says here the duration of Earth and bulwark is increased by six seconds in addition killing an enemy with Earth skills replenishes is a perfect role 233 of your active Earth and bloworks barrier so this is just very very helpful for survivability if you look at how long Earth and bulwark lasts it actually is three seconds by default this is this literally triples the duration of your Earth and bulwark and don't forget while you have an earth and bulwark on you are unstoppable that means you can't get cc'd you can't get stunned you can't get feared you can't get tethered you're basically able to keep control of your character you can use your potions if you need to you can use a scroll of Escape if you need to anything so Earth and bulwark extending it literally by that amount of time I think is incredibly powerful and is the best defensive aspect if you're familiar with how aspects work the legs can only have a defensive aspect so this is the one I chose we talked about the boots very important to have aspect of quicksand and then on the weapon we're having another key aspect we have a shock wave aspect pulverize creates a shock wave that travels forward dealing a percentage of its damage to Targets in the path this is really great to just you know really get the AOE you need for a Diablo game to just have an insane clear speed hitting everything all at once you're gonna hit like five to ten to 20 50 enemies at a time and thanks to aspect of the umbral you're gonna get two resource back every time you hit those enemies so it's going to really really help keep your resource high and just continuously spam pulverizes as you go not to mention trample as you use trample that's going to hit an entire screen worth of enemies it doesn't cost anything to use trample but it's also um in a a great skill it's also an earth skill that's going to allow you to generate Resource as you hit enemies and slow them and so thanks to that aspect of the trampled Earth so those are all the aspects um oh here's the a really important one as well aspect of a rampaging wear Beast the duration of grizzly rage is increased by two to eight seconds in addition critical strikes while grizzly rage is active increase your Critical Strike damage by 10 so each Critical Strike will increase your damage by 10 percent so and also it gets longer if you look at the the skill says here damage bonus is increased by three percent each second while in this form it says here uh kills extend the duration by one second up to five additional seconds and so this increasing it by three seconds is essentially another nine percent extra damage as long as you can maximize that as much as you can and so this is where if you look at the thumbnail we got that like 190 000 damage crit it's because we had grizzly rage on and we were up for a while we get 20 bonus damage and that go goes up to even more and then Critical Strike increase that damage even further so it's really powerful and it's really great to basically just make your grizzly rage last a really long time and so it can really maximize its damage and get really really crazy so those are the aspects let's look at Spirit bones here when it comes to the deer Spirit Boone I always choose weariness 10 damage reduction is amazing you just flat out can survive against bosses Champions Elites this is also the best PVP Talent blood marked players when it comes to the eagle I get the avian wrath 30 percent increase Critical Strike damage this is huge obviously you want to do more Critical Strike damage and your Critical Strike chance goes up once you get Earthen Devastation which we'll talk about in the skill tree and so you just want to increase that Critical Strike damage over here we want to get energized dealing damage has up to a 15 chance to restore 10 spirit so pulverize actually has a really good lucky hit chance 28 used to be higher they nerfed it but you're hitting so many enemies and honestly with energy eyes you just have such a good chance to actually get 10 energy back 10 Spirit every time you hit an enemy and you're hitting so many of them and it's a pretty decent lucky hit chance I found this to be absolutely worth it then finally we want to specialize here in this bottom one obsidian slam this is a must they nerfed it literally by 50 it says every 20th kill will cause your next Earth skill to overpower um overpowering is so powerful because it takes your max Health Plus your fortified health and adds that together to your overpower damage you absolutely want this every 20th kill it used to be every 10th kill so that just shows how good it was and I still think it's amazing they're also going to get masochistic this is a key ability for this build critical strikes with shape-shifting skills heal you for three percent maximum life now pulverize is still a shape-shifting skill it and it's going to crit a lot and you're gonna get three percent of your life back all those different crits masochistic really allows your Druid to have unlimited uptime constantly gaining Spirit or Essence whatever you're constantly gaining health and you're constantly fortified it's very very easy to just play endlessly without ever having to use a healing potion without ever having to worry about your health and honestly you barely use your basic skill thanks to the interaction between your other abilities that can generate Spirit like trample and even debilitating Roar which we're going to get to now in the abilities section so let's talk about the build we use just one point in the earth Spike enhanced Earth Spike and then wild Earth Spike it's just going to help with Spirit generation if you get in that desperate situation where you just need more Spirit we're gonna put one point into heart of the wild in three and two wild impulses so your core skills deal more damage at the cost of more Spirit we're actually going to get full out pulverize points we're gonna get full out land slide points and the reason we do points in the landslide is because trample thanks to aspect of the trampled Earth is going to summon six landslides which actually can deal quite good damage because every time you immobilize or stun an enemy you're gonna need a Terra moat and these Terra modes give your landslides guaranteed crits and so those Landslide pillars that get summoned through your trample are guaranteed critical strikes it's just very very effective area clear but also Spirit generation it's also fantastic for potentially procking Earth and might giving all of your resource back which we're going to get to a little later very very good to make Landslide strong of course you want pulverize to be strong this is the ability we're going to be spamming the most and then we're gonna enhance pulverize so that every 12 seconds we'll get a guaranteed overpower and it will stun the enemies thanks to raging pulverize and those stuns are going to give us Terror modes for our landslides all right we're gonna put one point into Earth and bulwark just need one just want that barrier and we want to make sure it's Unstoppable gives us Unstoppable and also we want to get 18 of our base life is fortify the reason we want that is because we gain a lot of bonuses when we are fortified so we want to make sure we are always fortified now we do actually want to put points into debilitating Roar Just One and the reason we do that is because well 70 damage reduction is really nice against you know threatening boss maybe it's powering up an ability right before they cast it off use debilitating Roar to soften and mitigate that damage but also it's going to fortify you for your life and that's good for this build and then also it's going to slow enemies by 65 for it for its duration now if you remember thanks to ring of the umbral or aspect of the umbral whenever you crowd control an enemy you get instance back Spirit back and so you can when you're very low Spirit just run into a big group of enemies use debilitating Roar and that's actually going to generate a bunch of spirit for you and so debilitating Roar trample even uh turning into grizzly rage is going to slow a bunch of enemies and that's going to generate uh spirit for you so really this build has a ton of spirit generators uh and this is actually just a really great uh contribution to the skill set here we're gonna get three points into Nature's reach one of my favorite skills for the Earth Druid deal nine percent increase damage to distant enemies double this bonus they are also slowed stun mobilizer knocked back since our Earth skills literally slow enemies that get hit we're constantly going to have an 18 damage bonus thanks to this ability as long as we're not in male range so stay distant and then over here in the Wrath part of the tree I like to get one point into mending well and where bear form you get five percent additional healing from all sources that's from masochist masochism or masochistic you know three percent of our health is going to get increased by five percent but I really like provocation when you remain in where bear form for at least 20 seconds your next skill will overpower overpower is huge we want as many as we can and so provocation is perfect and again this is only good if you have insatiable Fury which makes wear bear form your true form and you're always in wear bear form trample Max this out you can see this 11 out of five and remember this is in fact a earth skill thanks to aspect of the trampled Earth so it's doing a ton of damage and it does 150 bonus damage it got buffed crazy so definitely get enhanced trample and natural trample for 20 of your base life as fortify again you're gonna want that four to five because we're getting all of these Earth passives here one of my favorites crushing Earth Earth skills deal 15 increased damage to slowed stun to mobilizer knockback enemies again we're slowing everything with our Earth skills then up here we have Safeguard I like this to help generate fortify critical strikes with Earth skills fortify you so basically when you use that trample and you've got Terra moats you're gonna get a bunch of fortify thanks to all of those landslides critically striking thanks to the Terra modes that you got Stone guard when you fortify over 50 of your max life your Earth skills deal 12 increased damage with this build you will always have fortify over 50 percent of your max life except for like when you just start fighting stuff but it builds up very very fast and finally in the ultimate part of the tree one point into Defiance nature magic skills deal four percent increase damage to Elites this is great because that's literally every offensive ability we have is a nature magic skill and then I like to put three points into natural disaster Earth skills deal 16 or sorry if you put three out of three it would be 12 increased damage to vulnerable enemies I have an item that gives this plus one up to 16 and where do we get vulnerable from we actually get that from our glyph in the Paragon board which is really really strong and again vulnerable is why I like to keep storm strike but we got rid of it in this build because we can get vulnerable from that glyph and apply it much much faster and vulnerable is huge because it gives you 20 percent increased damage to that Target with natural disaster that's an extra 12 or in my case 16 so that's like 36 increased damage very very strong finally let's look at this ultimate grizzly rage shapeshift into an Unstoppable see another Unstoppable skill so we've got literally three things to get us out of CC which is why this build is so good for hardcore for 13 seconds gaining 20 bonus damage and 20 damage reduction amazing damage bonus is increased by three percent each second while in this form kills extend the duration by one second up to five additional seconds so we can get this up to 18 seconds with the uh glyph we can get added additional eight seconds to that so what is that we got 13 plus 5 18 plus another eight 26 seconds which is an up to up to 26 times three that's um around 78 or so 76 percent extra damage in insane if you fully max out how long you can be in grizzly rage absolutely amazing in a core part of this of this build and you can see right here it's because we got Prime grizzly rage that grizzly rage gives you Unstoppable and then Supreme grizzly rage gained eight percent base life is four or five per second while grizzly rage is active some nice passives there now really one of the most important parts of this entire build right here we have Earth and might lucky hit damaging enemies with Earth skills has up to a five percent chance to restore all your spirit and cause your attacks to be guaranteed critical strikes for five seconds guaranteed critical strikes that's a big reason why we chose avian wrath for 30 percent increased Critical Strike damage we've got Terra moats we've got Earth and might things that give us guaranteed crits so we don't really need Critical Strike chance we just want to make our crits stronger and says here this chance is increased by 10 for critical strikes which we get a lot with trample and also 10 of the target is stunned immobilized or not back they're going to be stunned they're going to be immobilized they're going to be knocked back trample does stun and knock back pulverize does stuns and so you can absolutely increase the chances of making this happen and it happens a lot and so whenever you get this Earthen mic proc it's it's really amazing it's a great time to just start laying into enemies because first of all you're getting all of your spirit back so you can just Spam pulverize and it's going to be guaranteed critical strikes so it's really really powerful if you can also overpower during that an overpowered Critical Strike is where you're going to get some pretty crazy damage so this is the skill tree I've got all of the renowned uh skill points so this is maxed out to the max there's no other points you could possibly get and I found this to be incredibly powerful and I can probably take this all the way to level 100 level 69 right now let's take a look at the Paragon board now what I've found is that um when it comes to the Paragon board it seems like you just really want to pick up almost everything on the way there there's just so much good stuff in the Paragon board but the way I started started by going right and picking up Prime this gives you 10 extra damage an extra 10 if you meet the intelligence requirement so this is 20 extra damage and kind of crazy you also get some Max life these nodes here are also amazing like two percent max life is going to help your overpower damage also your survivability then I moved up through here and I put this glyph in here called exploit this is uh really what gives us 20 additional damage it says when an enemy is damaged by you they become vulnerable for three seconds this cannot happen more than once every 20 seconds so you need to basically kill them within those three seconds so I like to deal damage to healthy enemies um but 20 percent increase damage is crazy and so this is in my opinion one of the best glyphs you can get I mean it's just absolutely amazing it gives you all your abilities applying vulnerable 20 extra damage I mean you need to have at least 25 dexterity within this range so I picked up every dexterity node as you can see when a glyph becomes level 15 the radius expands so it becomes a little bit easier to get all of the requirements to make it activate but in this case it worked perfectly and while I was picking up this dexterity I thought why not pick up two percent resistance to all elements and also resolve for an extra four percent resistance to all amounts and I'm literally forward dexterity away I'm going to try to get this soon I'm going to pick a node actually literally takes two seconds just add like one dexterity node right in order to get an extra four percent resistance style element so it'll be a total of eight over here we have impel twenty percent extra damage it's 10 plus another 10 if you meet the requirements and by the way um some glyphs increase the effectiveness of rare nodes or you know nodes in the in the radius so this glyph does not do that but some glyphs do so pay attention to that as well you know five percent damage also this intellect is just it's nice to get a lot of intellect in order to activate so you got the requirement here for an extra 10 damage so it's absolutely worth it sometimes to take these magic nodes that give you a bunch of stats in order to activate so like it makes a lot of sense here to just get this magic node for seven dexterity to activate resolve as we move up I chose the survival instincts Paragon board I looked at every single Paragon board and the highest spike in damage I could possibly find was survival instincts for this build and so what you're going to do is rotate the board so it looks like this kind of looks like a helmet and then you're gonna go up the left side and these magic nodes are insane you got 12.5 damage to healthy enemies um so literally my goal with this build is just let's just one shot everything right and pulverize can absolutely do that and you can see that in the gameplay footage this is 12.5 another 12.5 so that's 25 and then another 25 with spearhead so that's 50 percent increase damage that's a huge massive number and you can get another 25 percent if you just get enough intelligence which I plan to get and then you get actually another 12.5 so that's a total of 62.5 increased damage which is a huge huge number um and then from there I just got all the will power nodes and we picked up survival instincts which says well and where bear form you deal one percent increase damage up to 50 for every one percent difference in current life percent between you and the enemy so basically once the enemy gets to well basically like 99 you've got one percent increase damage right up to 50 when they're at half health and so basically spearhead is perfect because it really helps when they're healthy and then once they're not healthy you've got like 25 increased damage so it does fall off pretty fast you want to make that first initial hit very powerful to get them below uh healthy and then you know you lose this like 62 damage but now you're gaining more and more damage as they get lower Health which is why these two interact very very well together I moved up here and I started picking up these um fair passives five percent damage while in wear bear form will wear bear form is our permanent form so this is perfect also Grizzly another 10 damage while in wear bear form more damage more damage and wear bear and then I got the glyph socket here which is undaunted and the reason I chose this one is because this is actually the only glyph socket the intelligence glyph socket which actually you have enough nodes there's not enough for willpower there's not 40 willpower there's not 25 dexterity you actually have to upgrade uh your glyph to make it have a bigger range if you want to put it in this particular tree it says here you got plus 10 damage well fortified no problem this is great because we're gonna always be fortified and you also gain up to 10 damage reduction the more fortify you have so ten percent more damage and 10 damage reduction I think this is a great glyph socket it's also an intelligence requirement so it actually fits out of the options there's another one called outmatch which I wanted to put here which is something like 16 increased physical damage but this is actually probably better because it's also got that 10 percent damage reduction we're gonna get more of these magic nodes armor well and wear bear form we've got two percent armor well and wear bear form will power and then over here we have some more damage uh wear bear skill damage three of them right here and then we've got ursine for 30 overpower damage and 10 wear bear skill damage and you got 15 overpower damage on either side currently I'm working over to this note as well this is zealous 12.5 damage well healthy very very strong you're always going to be healthy honestly this build is so tanky you've got a very long lasting Earth and bulwark less for nine seconds um and you're generating fortify masochistic is making it so every crit you get heals you for three percent you're literally always at full health which is why this is such a great hardcore build and then we're also going to get more damage more damage more damage while healthy from this I'm probably gonna go over to the Earthen Devastation Paragon board uh after I get these nodes here it's very easy to just kind of swing over here and get the next board but this is how far I got so far with the character Spirit Boon abilities skill tree and Paragon board I don't think I'm missing anything I think we got everything you guys have any questions let me know in the comments below happy to help answer I think this is probably the most meta or the strongest Druid build I know there are some other ones but this one is probably the most popular and so this is sort of how I would go about putting it together I started with the landslide leveling build I think that is the perfect build to level once you hit a round level I don't know I think around 60 or mid 60s I think it's a great time to transition over to this build once you have access to all the aspects and you're ready to make that transition one thing I did want to mention before we go though this is really important you do want to have a weapon with at least 701 item power this is sort of the break point it's an absolute minimum because 726 plus item power is just a break point and your weapon is going to do so much more damage as you can see 94.5 percent overpower damage is huge and so that goes up once you reach that 726 item Power Plus break point and so and all the other affixes on here you can see this has a ton of really strong stats so make sure if you're ever going to replace a weapon look for that 701 item power and go for that all right guys that's it for today if you enjoyed the video don't forget to
