with 40 barrier gen, i think you should retract 3 point of earth basic skill and put it in bulwark. replace the gloves aspect with "earth skill deal 40% crit dmg to cc enemies" aspect.
looks realy fun . I would not place this as a main build on my druid as it has its limits , non the less it realy looks fun to play . wish the game has build layouts to swap between so ppl would actualy run some off meta fun builds like urs asswel without being forced to swap full build if they wanna do some higher content dungeons later .
Incredibly stupid question: I just have never been able to get the hang of Shred. Are you just supposed to hold down your button and move the cursor around? Click three discrete times for each attack? Like, what's the optimal way to deploy the skill? I feel like I'm the only one who is just not following. LOL
I think it helps to think of it as a movement skill and not as a damage skill! So you are thinking ahead of what mob you want to dash to and using it that way makes sense for this build! :)
I do go over this in the video but essentially when you cast storm skills they have a chance to trigger earth skills. Since this build focuses on basic skills you can trigger earth spike a lot. Earth Spike generates all the fortify for this build. It also provides a lot of crown control in the form of stuns. Lastly a good amount of aoe damage as well as another direct damage source to proc all the on hit effects and lucky hits we have!
I'm not sure if they have changed anything since I posted this build but from what I recall. When you use a core skill you got an attack speed bonus. And you would use that attack speed bonus for your basic skill. And it was optimal to weave in a core skill every 4 seconds to maintain that attack speed buff.
The build is super cool. Love to see the numbers haha. Unfortunately at a higher level nightmare I think it would struggle because you need big big hits.
I agree! It doesn't use Grizzly Rage for that 1000% Crit Damage and doesn't have any other method of insane scaling like the Barber. You totally have to try running it for easier content though, it's so much fun! 😁
This build has super easy time to clear high level dungeons, bullwark does 20-40 mil crits on everything in tier 85-100. All you need is to use debilitating roar before going in large packs to make sure you don't die, or get ur armor up
Was respeccing to this when TR dropped lmao. Almost finished the respec, but realized some discrepancies btwn video and d4planner: weapon jewels and amulet enchant. Do we go with emeralds in weapon and accelerating on ammie or topazes and overcharge?
Quick question, what's the skill rotation? Been trying to figure out the best way to dps and survive. I'm having a blast with it so far so thanks in advance! It's made my boring ass druid playable since I was using the typical boring landslide or trample meta builds and they're such yawners.
Shred every 4 seconds to keep up your attack speed bonus when a core skill critically strikes. Then use claw in that 4 second window. Shred also can teleport you out of danger, earthen Bulwark should be giving you permanent unstoppable. I'm glad to hear you find it fun! Cheers! :)
@@Tmsx Sweet, thank you! This is such a fun build man. Ignore the idiots who obviously only want to min-max and can't read that this isn't a min-max build. Who would've thought you'd get so much flack for trying to have fun in a video game lol. Keep it going!
Can you try some runs with your Earthen Bulwark passive set to the one that gives fortify instead of the explosion? I am curious to how it goes without the likely bugged bulwark damage.
There are a lot of damage mods that are typical of Bulwark builds that I am omitting to use ones that favour the proc damage. In this build Bulwark crits for around 1 mil and depending on resets is around 15 to 30% of the overall dps. Thanks for commenting! :)
Add 54 to whichever nightmare sigil you would like to do! I find around 65-70s (mob level 119) the most fun and efficient for speed and difficulty. But you play how you want to play!
@draega570 ummmmmm nope not anymore Diablo 4 is a fucking big waste of money. Now they are pushing out the second season and haven't even come close to listening what the customer wants fuck blizzard.
Yes you can take the points out of Claw and put them into Storm Strike if you wish, I experimented with that but I preferred the points in Claw, you do you though! 💪
@tms btw that wrathful heart you are using, depending on which type of socket you put it in you get different bonus, since you had it in Devious (violet colour) socket, you where getting chance to restore resource NOT the 24% attack speed bonus.
This is NOT a pushing build! I outline this in the video. It forgoes Grizzly Rage and The Barber (which are the best ways to scale into higher nightmare dungeons) to run aspects that are way more fun imo! Plus this is my hardcore character so I am sure you'd understand running easier content :)
The build is not optimized, I run the same in NM 100. Looks like you don't have the best spirit boons or skill tree setup. You should modify it a bit further. If you're going for the bulwark build there's also no need for shred if you focus on more defensive capabilities. Shred as a damage attack is not necessary for this build
@@KlutchxGaming I clearly state at 5:08 that the build is not focused on Bulwark, Bulwark is only used for permanent unstoppable and supplemental damage. It is an attack speed stacking proc build. It isn't supposed to do NM 100, it isn't supposed to clear insanely fast. It is supposed to proc on hit effects and Lucky Hits as often and as quick as possible. It is very good at doing that! Thank you! :)
@@Tmsxi actually dont understand the point of playing hardcore if you plan to play so safe without any sort of challenge, i wonder whether there are people playing world tier 1 all the way to level 100 😂

I’m running this build and loving it. Running tier 80 with a breeze now.

Can you please explain why you use Earth spike? What is the benefit if you already placed points into Storm Strike?

Awesome thanks mate. Apologies, I tend to just skip ahead to the build or paragon board 🙂@@Tmsx
Why would you run an Aspect for core skill… when this entire build is basic skill damage?
I'm not sure if they have changed anything since I posted this build but from what I recall. When you use a core skill you got an attack speed bonus. And you would use that attack speed bonus for your basic skill. And it was optimal to weave in a core skill every 4 seconds to maintain that attack speed buff.
Oww... I didn't noticed that Symboitic calls up Landslides all the time. Learning something everyday.

Actually bulwark scales with the enemies health along with barrier gen up to 60%. So higher the dungeon, better the build
Was respeccing to this when TR dropped lmao. Almost finished the respec, but realized some discrepancies btwn video and d4planner: weapon jewels and amulet enchant. Do we go with emeralds in weapon and accelerating on ammie or topazes and overcharge?
Topaz in weapons! Aspects in the planner are more optimised than in the video! :)

I literally hold shred down... u spam out multiple chaos at the enemies and loads of lightning ⚡
Why have points in 9 skills? You cant run with that many. Is that because claw casts stormstrike? You need to put a point in it?
Claw casts Storrm Strike and Earth Spike. :)
Dis you left or right click ? Cuz your spirit IS Always full ?
Right click to dash with shred, left Click for damage. :)
When are you using shred? I would think this build just holds claw down?
On core skill crits you get an attack speed bonus for 4s. Additionally Shred is a mobility skill. :)

Fighting level 95 monsters at level 100 doesnt seem so fun
Add 54 to whichever nightmare sigil you would like to do! I find around 65-70s (mob level 119) the most fun and efficient for speed and difficulty. But you play how you want to play!
I will work fine on standard game with no harts? I can go this or pulvorize now
Yes it will work without the Malignant Hearts!
Is this stronger than the earthen bulwark build.. or they about the same
The Bulwark build is much stronger. Even more so now with the changes to Barrier generation! :)
Heard getting the crone or TR is 90-100 drop now. Predominantly.
That's a shame if they changed that :/ seems like earth skills will predominantly be used for leveling
Just found a Crone at level 66, in a tier 22'ish NM dungeon.
Build looks fun mate, might give it a go now that the RNG Gods have given me not 1 but 2 Crone staffs haha
Congrats! For sure try it, it's a blast!
How's this on Uber lil
You would want to use a build with better scaling. Such as a Grizzly Rage based build!
@@Tmsx gotcha. Have a build like that? And it would need to be on the eternal realm
I wont waste my time they will nerf every class but necro
Play what ever you find most fun! No point in worrying about what's the best until leaderboards are out. :)
@Tmsx no I play to not die the shit ass mechanics in the game cause stupid deaths!!!!!!!!!!!!
Druid's been consistently top tier since launch tho...
@draega570 ummmmmm nope not anymore Diablo 4 is a fucking big waste of money. Now they are pushing out the second season and haven't even come close to listening what the customer wants fuck blizzard.
If you find a way to put points into storm strike as well as claw, you'll do loads more damage b/c of Crone's
Yes you can take the points out of Claw and put them into Storm Strike if you wish, I experimented with that but I preferred the points in Claw, you do you though! 💪
@tms btw that wrathful heart you are using, depending on which type of socket you put it in you get different bonus, since you had it in Devious (violet colour) socket, you where getting chance to restore resource NOT the 24% attack speed bonus.
It rotates between the effects every 20 kills. It doesn't stay as 1 effect depending on the socket colour. :)
oh ok, my bad then, sorry and thank you for clarification@@Tmsx
Got my sub this is a cool build. I was trying to make something like this but couldn't quite get it together right, you nailed it.
Appreciate it!
@@Tmsx hey do you know if the lightning dmg from all those procs can also proc your symbiotic aspect to reduce the cooldown on bulwark faster?
I got crone staff and I’m playing with this build :)
That's awesome! I hope you have as much fun as I did! :)
How do you have 5 active boons
When you unlock all the boons you can select one to have a second boon active
If only I could get the staff to finally drop.. target farming for 2 weeks and no luck. Tons of other uniques though! :D
Good luck!
Where are you targeting? I'm also trying to get the staff to drop -_-
@@jackcunnah9468 I FINALLY got one, from the elites in the PVP zone. The Fallen ones. Not the best in terms of rolls, but at least I got ONE so far.
Hi bro, did you test this build in PvP ?
There is no one ever in the PvP zones in the Hardcore OCE severs hahaha. I farm mobs there but have never seen another player 🤷
But will this build survive T100?
Probably not! I am not going to try either on my druid since he is in Hardcore! If you do let me know how it goes! :)
Why do you have 3 basic skills
This build I wanted to make is based off lucky hits and triggering effects. Claw triggers both Storm Strike and Earth Spike. :)
Oh ok. I missed that point. Thanks for the response.
Nice build and subscribed 🎉
I appreciate it! 🙏
NM 50 with LV 100 and uni staff. What are you proving here?

Horrible damage
The damage is fine
Nice try, but its not that impressive build. its primary school build, no offense. Peace
Sorry the 'so fun' build didn't impress you Mr. Shinobi9. Maybe next time, thanks for stopping by :)
