One of the few reviewers that can actually PLAY the fucking games and explores them way past the starting point. Without being melodramatic, people like these are why I even have faith in game reviews anymore.
I appreciate that you’re using a build that’s uniquely “you” and outside of what’s usually recommended for choices. There’s some unique aspects out there for werewolf play styles so I’m hoping you do an update video in a week or so if you’ve changed things around again. I’ve changed builds so many times now while levelling druid. I experiment last with a bear/wolf hybrid to utilize some of the shapeshift bonus synergies but I wasn’t happy with how it was working. Might revisit it if I get better aspects and gear. I’ve settled into a companion/no spirit spender build that’s just melting everything right now and feels so good to play.
For Druid is it possible to make a build that doesn't require you to keep switching between animals and just staying in human form and play like an elemental shammy from WoW?
@@darrelladams4886 that's cool, when I played Druid in the beta I didn't like the switching between animals mostly because of how it's implemented and it seems they try to make you go down that path or I don't see staying in bear form or wolf form as viable for all content
@@fatbroccoli8 there’s a pulverize/earth bear build that’s very strong right now and some werewolf builds around either lightning or poison synergies. I’m hoping a good bear/wolf build is possible to utilize shapeshifting bonuses but the one I put together while levelling lacked the “extra” stuff that seems to pull builds together towards the end. The lightning based storm build I used at the start was pretty fun but had spirit issues in the early game and you can find yourself healing a lot. Lots of room to experiment on the Druid class which I like and if you want to be in human form all the time I would definitely focus on storm or earth or storm/earth builds
I've been playing Werebear, and I'm really happy to see the Werewolf getting some attention. When I've got a little more flex in my gear, I think I'll switch over to check it out.
Yeah everyone and their mom is extolling “trample pulverize bear and earth skills or bust” and it looks like bear has more aspects. Honestly I feel like werewolf was a secondary design…so D2 all over again. At least shred doesn’t have the whiff glitch like the key skill had in D2
I’m playing werewolf and I’m having a blast. I usually play tanky bois, but this whole idea of maintaining 80%+ health for werebear doesn’t appeal to me from a gameplay perspective
I have been doing a Storm Druid. I have no idea what the expected power level of anything is in game but I am enjoying calling lightning down on mobs on Veteran World Tier.
I like your channel. You are very thoughtful and your videos are also helpful. Your reviews are generally spot on as well. Keep it up. I like the build.
Planning something similar, tho I will take wolf companions, and turn them into werewolves and give them rabies on activation,, the unique chest that makes my true form a werewolf, and aspect to be a dire werewolf, instead of dire werebear as ultimate. Currently playing necro, but werewolf druid is up next.
Haven't been using guides and I basically made this build naturally, as well. Only difference is I use wolves in place of cyclone armor, and use the Alpha aspect to turn them into werewolves that help spread my rabies. Might have to switch to Cyclone Armor if I start dying too quickly.
I’m doing this build right now since I always enjoy seeing enemies going down slowly. Thanks for the amazing guide. Little side note for people that want to play this: DoT can’t crit
changelings debt aspect, pulverize, poison creeper. So many people sleeping on this. Poison things, pop them with a bear ability. rediculous damage. spirit generator is claw as a wolf, now throw in the natures fury passive and natures savafery aspect and this is what im playing lol.
Yeah this type of thing is pretty time consuming if you want to do more than theory craft (I'm big on actually testing things) so I dont put out much of it
That’s awesome because I am playing a very similar build albeit with some differences. While poison is an integral part of the build for me, it is more of a proxy to help me deal extra damage with my shred as it increases both my critical strike chance and critical strike damage with the help of poison creeper and Envenom. For my basic skill, while I started out with claw, I eventually switched to storm strike. I know that losing out on the poison is a big deal but I found that storm strike generates spirit more easily and applies vulnerable which is a really powerful status. For the companions I have both the poison creeper and the crows because the crows increase critical strike chance and apply vulnerable. I also found a legendary aspect which augments my shred damage based on how many companions are active so having 2 is really good. I have blood howl for attack speed increase, damage reduction with the passive and eventually critical strike chance with a codex of power I haven’t reached yet. Finally, while I know lacerate is undertuned, the immune side is pretty nice as you said and it usually crits often with my build which helps potentially reset my poison creeper and crows with the help of one of the spirit boons which has an up to 20% chance to reset companion skills on crit. So while my build is more focused on crit, it’s quite similar to yours and I’m enjoying the stuggle of figuring out what goes best with it as I go through the campaign.
I like Storm Strike on werewolf builds cause you can combine Quickshift + Aspect of the Unsatiated to combo shred (bonus dmg on next ww skill ) + storm strike (bonus dmg from shapeshifting) + shred (buffed from both) for massive dmg!! 🐺
@@peterk2735 Yeah obviously forgot to mention that it lets you turn into human form which is important for spirit generation. Mortismal can get away with using claw since he has tornado armor to turn into a human. But personally I prefer having the human form on a basic skill since you’re using that way more often.
Is this build good for endgame as well or just leveling? I’ve played with it and like it. Have you thought about making a spreadsheet or something to show this build a little better? im having trouble seeing the paragon board and where to place all the nodes. Thank you again for sharing this build
I use the creeper to set up poison for the neurotoxin/envenom combo, for guaranteed terramote crit nukes. The pack leader thing is huge, thanks for the tip!
Do you have any recommendation for doing the first capstone cathedral of light dungeon or to level up a bit faster to level 50. I'm 48-49 for 2 weeks (playing causual) on veteran and I can't kill the damn boss, i'm not very good at this game.
Not a huge ARPG fan but all this Diablo IV hype does make me want to play it. The price is too steep for me rn and I doubt they will put it on sale anytime soon.
Yeah nah man $70 is the standard now. You should honestly get it when you can though, I paid the extra $20 to play it early and it's really good. So far at least it's perfectly balanced between the difficulty of 2 and 3.
There’s HUGE armor legendary aspect that I think you’re overlooking in this build. The aspect that gives you up to .5% armor for 4 seconds & stacks up to 100 times can actually be procced by poison ticks. It’s surprisingly easy to maintain 100 stacks & it’ll give you +50% armor.
Mortismal: Stay awhile and listen I tried Werebear and Werewolf, felt like I was in hard mode and than I saw a Druid wander by dropping Lightning and hurricanes, reminded me of my Shaman build in Grim Dawn, it looked bloody awesome. I instantly went back to town and regretted all my points and reallocated into strictly elemental and Vulnerable, loving it! Dropping lightning, proccing Vulnerable #ChefKiss :P
I use a werewolf . i have roar because i got a aspect that turns it into a werewolf skill and i use trample because i have a aspect that maked it a were wolf build. Its defenses is the only thung i worked on
Path of Exile wins it out for me, cause the gameplay fits the story and setting. It’s a dark fucking tale, the further you go in, the more depraved and depressing it gets, all of this is echoed in the gameplay cause it can be brutal if you don’t know what you’re doing. BUT D4 reminds me of good old D2, the setting and atmosphere is spot on, unlike D3 which felt like generic fantasy. However, D4 is way more approachable and I never felt oppressed by the darkness of the setting, while PoE has some truly WTF moments. Good thing is that POE is free, so you can try it at any time
@@skreapy21 I mean to some extent that can be correct however druid best build is a one shooting mob clear pulverize build. So you sure it's only defense?
@@christopherkappenman6435 no I don’t. But I think best build is when you specialized in sth. Almost each wolves abilities boost the critical dommage and speed so more you choose wolves, more the build is stronger. A build half wolf half bear doesn’t look to be a good complement. It doesn’t reinforce the build I think. I didn’t look at it really so maybe I am wrong! up to you see that.
I’ve been doing something almost close to this build as well. I use ravens (they give Vulnerable, plus the companion buffs you use) instead of Cyclone armor, I’m kinda squishy though, so I might try it out. Good guide! Fuck the meta stuff, this build is fun as hell to play with.
Great video - have a very similar build but getting smashed by oak tree boss you need to beat for the druid quest to use aspects. Only gripe is a shame you haven't noted the main skills below or somewhere - I'm keen to spot what the difference is for my build v your which is obviously better.
I think trample is key in this build and having it give you 20 spirit. Shred is a spirit hog and anything you can use to give you more is important. I have both howl and trample for this reason. As well as using the basic attack that gives you most spirit which also is another attack that puts you in human form to activate even more spirit generation
I found a unique helm on Torment today that solves the problem entirely 'Tempest Roar' it codes storm strike as a werewolf ability and gives extra spirit recovery. Best of both worlds.
ARPGs have a lot of people who are very dedicated to them and don't respond well to my more 'I'm just gonna do what I want and not the meta' approach to the genre. This one has been pretty positively received but most of my ARPG content previously on a mechanical level was not and I wound up just deleting it.
this has been helping me a lot! i have question though, should i wait to use aspects til lvl 50 or how should i use them now? i have one that i want try out but idk where to put it.
The double hit doesnt proc enough to be useful. A late game unique turns storm strike into a werewolf skill and adds spirit gain which is way better though
Great build. I started with mixed Wolf/Bear, and that didn't work out as well. Will have to try solo Wolf. Been rocking the Necromancer's "me and my 13 buddies out-swarm the Event Adds" :)
@@R0FLC4T5 I played a storm sorc in the beta and it was almost unstoppable, its obviously been tweaked a bit in retail as I struggled with it before rage quitting and then rolling a necro
Boiii I had a build close to this but just alittle off. Went from being kinda lack luster to doing some damage almost keeping up with the rogue. My build will only get better from here now that I got 2 creeper vines and 3 werewolves following me
I just started playing a build very similar to this last night because I found a legendary with the Dire Wolf Aspect on it. Do you think it's possible to work that in this somehow, or just not worth it?
Really struggling to enjoy druid, had so much fun with Rogue and Necro but just find the druid really slow and difficult to play. Wanted to try something new but I'll stick to the others for now
I don’t know why Blizzard made the druid’s progression so slow. They could’ve just started you off in the place where spirit boons are set or at least made up some mumbo jumbo so you could warp to that altar thing. Stranger things have happened in that world. And all that lore blocking you for what? A glorified modifier system with no interesting abilities or modifiers. Just different sets of “numbers go up.” On top of that, they made its only ranged basic skill physical instead of storm magic. What the hell is up with that? And tornado, man. That skill basically needs the legendary aspect to be worth it. I’m having fun with my storm strike druid, but I can still clearly see how slow and uneven the class’ progression is.
Group enemies. Walk into melee range. Use creeper. Use tornado. I'm level 62 on release and I played a lot of alpha. Druid is also very hard to kill. Storm strike. Tornado. Earthen bulwark. Poison creeper and ravens. Cataclysm or wolves. Important passives. Envenom. Resonance. Natural disaster.
Im having a blast with overpower blood necromancer. I solod nightmare capstone dungeon on lvl 59 with it. It’s insanely tanky and does a stupid amount of dmg. Basically oneshotting the entire screen every 15 seconds.
Two small things. 1. I didn't know that legendary items automatically went to the box. That is good to know. 2. Do you plan on doing a build video for each class? Great video, as usual.
if u are looking for build info i think Fextra usually pumps out videos on that pretty quickly. Though Mortim here, has interesting build videos as well.
@@MortismalGaming while true, your builds are unique in that they’re themed + viable but not specifically focused on min-maxing. I enjoy your builds more than others because of that
I've been playing as a werewolf with Claw, Shred, Poison Creeper, Wolves, Blood howl and hurricane, I also have grizzly rage for boss fights that works as I have a legendary that makes grizzly rage turn me into a dire werewolf instead of dire bear. I jump into a fight, hit poison creeper, then hurricane, hit Blood Howl when I take damage, sick my wolves on a mob then I am pretty much back into the rotation. I wanted to find a way to be a full time werewolf that made it fun for me. I MAY consider Rabies instead of Hurricane however one of my legendaries has a bonus for hurricane so.. not sure. Having said all of that ... I WANT MAD WOLF'S GLEE !!! I haven't been able to find one yet !!!
Can anyone confirm if you actually stay in werewolf form with mad wolf's glee or do you still automatically return to human form after a few seconds of not using a werewolf ability?
Can -you- (one) play Druid à la WoW elemental shammy without needing to switch into an animal ever? I don't like how the mechanic is implemented in D4, it feels obtrusive to me
Question regarding Cyclone Armour Is Earthen Bulwark a good replacement? I feel it was quite strong with the aspect whilst leveling Awesome video by the way so refreshing to see a build other than BEAR STRONG META EVERYONE PULVERISE META META META 9000 builds all over YT xD
its fun to play with the attack speed. im using hurricane instead of blood howl, add Debilating roar and grizzly rage because of legendary items haha . i can solo all
You can refund all your skills? For free? Anyway great video. You should do more D4 builds videos if you continue playing!
Год назад
I find a legendary which consider werewolf skill as lighting skill, werebear skill as earth skill in Nature Fury passive. With that you can merge Wolf Bear and also human form to create a very unpredictable playstyle :)) In which once you cast werewolf skill you will have a chance to proc earth skill in the same category. For example cast blood howl and have a chance to have earth shield activate. Cast pulverize together with lighting storm or hurrican.
The colour palatte and the muted effects makes things very hard to see when in the thick of it. Especially when the enemies gets effect auras around them and they are several. I really wanted to play this because I loved D1 and D2 and D3 was ok aswell. But the MMO part just makes me stay away, had enough of that genre. I have been playing the new DLC for "The Riftbreaker" instead and have a ton of fun.
Basically every Druid build I see, and yes even poison builds, uses storm strike over claw and the other basic abilities. They make it sound like anything other than storm strike is a waste of time, and you're just losing DPS if you use anything else, I don't know if that's true, but I hope not, because I do like the feel of other basic abilities better than storm strike.
There is a late game unique helmet, that turns it into a werewolf skill which makes storm strike benefit from all our werewolf skills and buffs which does make it better than just claw at that point for this.
I love that you didn’t pay attention to the META and built your own thing and effectively. Makes me feel like a meta gaming scumbag 😂 But also this makes me want to make my own build and just play for fun alone instead of blasting content just to feel like I did something.
The meta is there for people that want to push the highest difficulty stuff. ARPGs always let you do whatever you want, but just like in PoE, you won't be able to progress through the Altas unless you have a meta build. It's up to you as always, you can enjoy the game your way, but you will reach a point where if you want to progress you will be forced into a meta build, be it by experimentation or following a guide of someone that has experience with these games.
@@davidschaffer9914 I’m playing werewolf with 3 mates and the synergy is great. Creeper immobileses enemies which works nicely with Rogue and Necro skills, while our Frost sorc applies immobilised or CC to enemies which boosts my dmg skills.
Wow i've been having a really hard time with my wolf build, wt2 is just a slog................. maybe if the game stopped dropping gear thats like 20 levels below me 🤔
Good for you. Problem with diablo 4 is everyone is a drone. Everyone is a Twisted blade Rogue. Everyone is a spin to win Barb. Everyone is that noob boring Pulivsher Werebear build (that looks so boring i'd rather not play the game than just spam one button) The werebear build looks like it should be something on Path of Exiles, just kinda brainless xD I wanna make a druid that uses fast attacks and crits when the game finally balances out in a few weeks/months than these boring META builds 90% of the community are using
its so sad that werewolf got absolutely no love in this game. terrible AoE, and mediocre damage for being melee and bad survivability. It looks and sounds so cool, though. it needs a new skill or way better legendaries or something.
HOT TAKE: I customizations are so popular on some games is because of the lack of Coordination-Skill requirements means there's little to differentiate your character-play from another. Exceptions are CSGO - but those were naive days.
The top dog in CRPG/TRPG reviews shows he can pwn ARPG guides as well. Excellent effort sir

Exactly what I'm running and it's amazing. And get this...FUN!
In D2 I always played either wind druid, or speed WW so I was definitely playing druid lol
I dunno bois, despite the D4 druid getting a reputation for being a hard class to start, it’s nothing like the D2 version looool
Same build but using storm for starter instead of claw. I started with that though. Great wearwolf poison build. I love it.

Hi Mort, is this the only build video you are doing or can a Necro follow, I am running a heavily Corpse Explosion build and its insane
I'm doing a storm sorcerer and this build is making me reconsider lol
@@R0FLC4T5 I played a storm sorc in the beta and it was almost unstoppable, its obviously been tweaked a bit in retail as I struggled with it before rage quitting and then rolling a necro
This is probably the only one that I'll do
Boiii I had a build close to this but just alittle off. Went from being kinda lack luster to doing some damage almost keeping up with the rogue. My build will only get better from here now that I got 2 creeper vines and 3 werewolves following me
I just started playing a build very similar to this last night because I found a legendary with the Dire Wolf Aspect on it. Do you think it's possible to work that in this somehow, or just not worth it?
Dire Wolf is awesome.
Dire Wolf is technically werebear so it would be difficult to weave it in
I've tried making lacerate work, but it's just too weak, and the cooldown is too long.
Really struggling to enjoy druid, had so much fun with Rogue and Necro but just find the druid really slow and difficult to play. Wanted to try something new but I'll stick to the others for now
I don’t know why Blizzard made the druid’s progression so slow. They could’ve just started you off in the place where spirit boons are set or at least made up some mumbo jumbo so you could warp to that altar thing. Stranger things have happened in that world.
And all that lore blocking you for what? A glorified modifier system with no interesting abilities or modifiers. Just different sets of “numbers go up.”
On top of that, they made its only ranged basic skill physical instead of storm magic. What the hell is up with that?
And tornado, man. That skill basically needs the legendary aspect to be worth it.
I’m having fun with my storm strike druid, but I can still clearly see how slow and uneven the class’ progression is.
@@iatwiatwWhat level are you? Tornado is absolutely broken as youre leveling
Group enemies. Walk into melee range. Use creeper. Use tornado. I'm level 62 on release and I played a lot of alpha. Druid is also very hard to kill.
Storm strike. Tornado. Earthen bulwark. Poison creeper and ravens. Cataclysm or wolves. Important passives. Envenom. Resonance. Natural disaster.
Good show sir
Im having a blast with overpower blood necromancer. I solod nightmare capstone dungeon on lvl 59 with it. It’s insanely tanky and does a stupid amount of dmg. Basically oneshotting the entire screen every 15 seconds.
where is a build on the blood necro
Two small things.
1. I didn't know that legendary items automatically went to the box. That is good to know.
2. Do you plan on doing a build video for each class?
Great video, as usual.
if u are looking for build info i think Fextra usually pumps out videos on that pretty quickly. Though Mortim here, has interesting build videos as well.
Yeah I was stoked to find out any missed legendaries get sent to your box, love that feature
Probably not, the web will be pretty saturated with them soon
@@MortismalGaming while true, your builds are unique in that they’re themed + viable but not specifically focused on min-maxing. I enjoy your builds more than others because of that
I've been playing as a werewolf with Claw, Shred, Poison Creeper, Wolves, Blood howl and hurricane, I also have grizzly rage for boss fights that works as I have a legendary that makes grizzly rage turn me into a dire werewolf instead of dire bear. I jump into a fight, hit poison creeper, then hurricane, hit Blood Howl when I take damage, sick my wolves on a mob then I am pretty much back into the rotation. I wanted to find a way to be a full time werewolf that made it fun for me. I MAY consider Rabies instead of Hurricane however one of my legendaries has a bonus for hurricane so.. not sure.
Having said all of that ... I WANT MAD WOLF'S GLEE !!! I haven't been able to find one yet !!!
2:40 Where bear? Werebear be there... onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.
Ive never played diablo before so this is all new too me. I have been thinkin off playing druid. Is it noob friendly is what I'm asking lol thanks
Werebear is as it's pretty tanky otherwise I'd go necro for newbies.
Diablo 3 playthrough?
Can anyone confirm if you actually stay in werewolf form with mad wolf's glee or do you still automatically return to human form after a few seconds of not using a werewolf ability?
Outside of town you stay a WW
@@MortismalGaming awesome, thank you very much for replying :)
Can -you- (one) play Druid à la WoW elemental shammy without needing to switch into an animal ever? I don't like how the mechanic is implemented in D4, it feels obtrusive to me
You can
Based Druid-enjoyer!
Question regarding Cyclone Armour
Is Earthen Bulwark a good replacement? I feel it was quite strong with the aspect whilst leveling
Awesome video by the way so refreshing to see a build other than
BEAR STRONG META EVERYONE PULVERISE META META META 9000 builds all over YT xD
Just about anything on that slot would work really, I just like cyclone armor the most from my own experience
its fun to play with the attack speed. im using hurricane instead of blood howl, add Debilating roar and grizzly rage because of legendary items haha . i can solo all
Im the guy that see all poeple play bear and i say Nooo thanks.
Thanks for this build ❤️
You can refund all your skills? For free? Anyway great video. You should do more D4 builds videos if you continue playing!
I find a legendary which consider werewolf skill as lighting skill, werebear skill as earth skill in Nature Fury passive. With that you can merge Wolf Bear and also human form to create a very unpredictable playstyle :)) In which once you cast werewolf skill you will have a chance to proc earth skill in the same category. For example cast blood howl and have a chance to have earth shield activate. Cast pulverize together with lighting storm or hurrican.
The colour palatte and the muted effects makes things very hard to see when in the thick of it. Especially when the enemies gets effect auras around them and they are several.
I really wanted to play this because I loved D1 and D2 and D3 was ok aswell. But the MMO part just makes me stay away, had enough of that genre.
I have been playing the new DLC for "The Riftbreaker" instead and have a ton of fun.
Basically every Druid build I see, and yes even poison builds, uses storm strike over claw and the other basic abilities. They make it sound like anything other than storm strike is a waste of time, and you're just losing DPS if you use anything else, I don't know if that's true, but I hope not, because I do like the feel of other basic abilities better than storm strike.
There is a late game unique helmet, that turns it into a werewolf skill which makes storm strike benefit from all our werewolf skills and buffs which does make it better than just claw at that point for this.
Can you do a Barbarian Build this week
For me the most op build ive tried is getting all 3 animal skills and the passive that increases it by 30%. Shame it sucks vs bosses
Yessss
I love that you didn’t pay attention to the META and built your own thing and effectively. Makes me feel like a meta gaming scumbag 😂
But also this makes me want to make my own build and just play for fun alone instead of blasting content just to feel like I did something.
The meta is there for people that want to push the highest difficulty stuff. ARPGs always let you do whatever you want, but just like in PoE, you won't be able to progress through the Altas unless you have a meta build. It's up to you as always, you can enjoy the game your way, but you will reach a point where if you want to progress you will be forced into a meta build, be it by experimentation or following a guide of someone that has experience with these games.
@@Relhio what if your always in a group can you be more flexible with the build you want?
@@davidschaffer9914 I’m playing werewolf with 3 mates and the synergy is great. Creeper immobileses enemies which works nicely with Rogue and Necro skills, while our Frost sorc applies immobilised or CC to enemies which boosts my dmg skills.
Wow i've been having a really hard time with my wolf build, wt2 is just a slog................. maybe if the game stopped dropping gear thats like 20 levels below me 🤔
It might be my build, but switching from a lv35 druid to a new rogue feels like moving from an suv to a ferrari.
Druid is very slow early game, comes into its builds via items in the 50+ game
@@MortismalGaming Good to know. Thanks
I keep trying to get into Diablo 4 but after doin a lv 30 in the beta i keep getting drawn to ToTK instead. Not to mention FF16 coming 😅
Day 16 pls review fear and hunger
free comment.
Good for you. Problem with diablo 4 is everyone is a drone. Everyone is a Twisted blade Rogue. Everyone is a spin to win Barb. Everyone is that noob boring Pulivsher Werebear build (that looks so boring i'd rather not play the game than just spam one button)
The werebear build looks like it should be something on Path of Exiles, just kinda brainless xD
I wanna make a druid that uses fast attacks and crits when the game finally balances out in a few weeks/months than these boring META builds 90% of the community are using
Did you really picked druid as a starting character? XD
Why not? Pick what makes the most fun for you ^-^
Did you really pick necro zoo as a starting character? XD
2 years from now, everyone is a port sorc 😆
its so sad that werewolf got absolutely no love in this game. terrible AoE, and mediocre damage for being melee and bad survivability. It looks and sounds so cool, though. it needs a new skill or way better legendaries or something.
HOT TAKE:
I customizations are so popular on some games is because of the lack of Coordination-Skill requirements means there's little to differentiate your character-play from another.
Exceptions are CSGO - but those were naive days.
Not even in my CRPG cave can I escape Diablo 4
