Hi, I just dropped my Howl of the West Wind 4LP helmet. I'm thinking of switching from Squirrel Beastmaster to Lightning Wolves Beastmaster. I looked at your build. Are wolves using gathering storm stats in your tree? Wouldn't it be better to replace Swipe with Tempest strike? Tempest strike should work well with gathering storm. Why don't you let wolf leech life from the passive tree? And why not use a shaman tree like Shamanic Infusion and Storm Bringer? well thank you
> Are wolves using gathering storm stats in your tree? helmet has an affix: chance for Wolves to Retaliate with Lightning Strike when hit Lightning Strike is actually 'Storm Bolt' (at least according to lastepochdb) and scales with Gathering Storm Tree.

We need to stay on low life to benefit from ward regen. You can use passive tree leeching if you want, but to remain a ward build, you will use Boulderfist gloves.

It's too far on the tree and we get much easier damage scaling with pure Strength - 4% per point. As for Shamanic Infusion, minion Lightning Pen is quite expensive here (1% per point) and attunment is useless for us. It is much better to obtain minion lightning pen on a weapon. I already did it in the latest version of the build. (updated video description)
@@marqu92 Thanks for the complete answer. I'm playing Squirrel Beastmaster on 450 corruption, but I dropped the Howl of the West Wind 4LP helmet + Stormhide Paws 3LP gloves, so I thought I'd try your build. Currently with Squirrel Beastmaster low life I use, Boulderfists + Exsanguinous + Last Steps of the Living + Cleaver Solution. That's very similar to your build. I also play CoD, so it takes a long time to find suitable items. Haven't thought about Stormhide Paws gloves? I hope you upload a video of how you clean the echo and kill the boss on corruption 500cor. I can't find interesting builds for beastmaster. I'm running 450 corruption, but I have a feeling that my muild won't be able to do 800 or more corruption.
@@lukasnestak7683 I will upload in next days! Compared to squirrels, mapping is definitely better. "spirit wolves" is like a shotgun that obliterates packs of mobs in < 1 second. Single target is a a bit worse than squirrels, but almost everything is. t4 julra is ~20-30 seconds.
I dont have a particular one for this build... I just hide everything lower than t7 (im cof)... but when it comes to affixes the most important thing is: - minion crit chance (easiest to get on the chest, but you can also get it from the idols or logi's hunter) - one t6/t7 minion life - without it the wolves are dying to fast - one minion damage leech on the idol - strength everywhere else
latest version of the build is capable of 600+ corruption and killing Aberroth (1.1.7)

gl with your build! It's totally worth it, super fun. I am currently at 600 corruption. With a little more investment I think this build can do 800

@@marqu92 Hi, can you post a video of your build? Why do we use damage over time affixes?
Hey!
Cool looking build.
Question though: Are you using Logi's Hunger solely for the leech and minion crit?
thanks! yes
can i replace gathering storm with leap?
yes, gathering storm is optional
do u mind sharing your lootfilter? what do u recommend for leveling?

Cool build
added link to the build planner
how is it feels on clear?
very good. not as fast as the rogue, but you rarely have to attack a pack of mobs more than once
@@marqu92 so just waiting for planer 😅
Why do you need gathering storm?
I use it on maps to clear faster, once you get the first stack, the next ones are coming from the wolves
