Spirit boon, combined with the very high lucky hit chance in the build to proc it.

@@brianmarotta937 thankss

No problem happy gaming

I did not want to base a build off any potential bugs. People can do that on their own after the fact. Lol

This is what I ran for a build. mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/profile/e3d45174-293f-4ac8-928f-1d8513cb8e87/builds/5621763d-ea41-4aa5-bed4-00c26a6d4484

This coming season I have plans for lightning storm claw. If they do not cap the amount of lightning bolts I can create with Stormclaw it should be nasty.

@@brianmarotta937 thats fair, as you said meybe next season with all the lightning this build could be improved, hopefully, fingers crossed.

This is the thing, if spirit born, and bugs did not exsist, this build is not bad compared to others. T85 is pretty decent considering most other builds, with out bugs, max out at 92 to 104. Just people have higher expectations due to broken spirit born, and bugs.

I will try and make a mobalytics guide tonight if I am not too tired after work. Otherwise it will be up by the weekend.

Still no bad. 85 is respectable for a basic skill bruiser with no bugs being used. From what I understand pit 85 is equivalent to pit 170ish from last season. I could barely do pit 114 last season. So it is a step in the right direction. Would be nice to be able to do pit 100, with any fully optimized build.

@@brianmarotta937 yeah, don't get me wrong is pretty good but as you said, if you optimize your build and put in the effort you should be able to push further. Tomorrow is the season 7 ptr campfire, hopefully more buffs/reworks for classes other than spiritborn are coming.

That’s my current build

That will have to wait until tomorrow. I am off to bed.

Tempest was a net dps loss unfortunately. It make poisoning groups easier and that’s about all it brings to the table once you have Heir of Perdition. I still get lust for carnage bonus due to claw. Heir is constant 60x damage as well as massive lucky hit and crit chance.

@@brianmarotta937 ok, it sounded better in mind, but you are right, plus the affixes on tempest roar are atrocious. Hoping for decent buffs in the mid season patch.

It would be awesome if the changed the affixes on it to be more in line with Wolf, like attack speed, 15 percent DR while in wolf form, 45% chance to do double damage with storm skills, and max life or all stats.

Then it would be viable for all wolf storm builds and would compete with the mythics

@brianmarotta937 1 second ago With perfect gear and level 100 glyphs maybe 80 to 82. I can just squeak out 75 currently.

@@brianmarotta937 oh okay so it’s still the weakest Druid build?

It’s a basic skill build. So yeah, not going to compete with the core builds. Not enough buffs that work properly with Stormclaw

Not yet, as I am still trying to find its endgame sweet spot.

High attack speed with a good roll on f fist of Fate. With the high attack speed and high lucky hit with lucky hit to apply random status effects it staggers bosses quick.

Got buffs, but not enough to be viable in real high end content so far. Going to see what happens when I get glyphs up to 70-90. So far it needs a lot more buffs.

@@brianmarotta937 oh okay can it even do up to pit 70 or 80

Also can I have your battle tag so I can play with you?

Is it better to run fists vs paingorgers?

Adaptability and Moonrise only benefit Claws damage with greatly diminishing returns unfortunately. The free Stormstrike and Earth spike procs are not buffed but those aspects. Andy’s is indeed best in slot, the attack speed alone almost caps the first attack speed bucket on its own. Allowing me to add into the second attack speed bucket to almost hit the 200 attack speed cap. This is a huge DPS boost, more Lucky hits, Crit hits and healing. We are heavily invested in poison, earth, physical damage, and lighting obviously. Andy’s poison in the build is constantly going off in a wide area proccing poison novas that do between 2 million to 18 million a tick. This also. Triggers damage to posion to enemies multiples like Envenom, Heighten Malice, DR from poison enemies. Runeworkers got a major buff and feeds into a ton of the paragon choices and skill tree choices. Combined this is about as maxed for damage and survivability as you can get for Stormclaw currently. But with all that said use any build that interests you as a template and change whatever you want to fit your playstyle and what feels go to you! Happy gaming!!

Ignore the typos as I am riding shotgun in a truck and responding via phone.

@@brianmarotta937 interesting. I have tested this kind of build last season and was going no where near your damage shown here. Andy procs was giving no where near that much damage. And based on how fast you killed the boss, how did you get enough hits in to get it that high... How was runeworkers changed other than giving your lightning bolts 40%x more damage? So the free cast of storm strike via crone doesn't get affected by things like moonrise? I really wanted to try a stormclaw build (I've invested so much last season and it was really bad), but I decided to go companions this season instead.

They are changing gear, and paragons in 5 weeks. At this point it’s not worth investing into this build at this point. I will post an updated build shortly after the new season starts with the new changes.

@@brianmarotta937 I will also try stormclaw in coming season too. However I think I'm more interested in a shred build with the new mythic chest (333% more damage on stealth hit? Nice)

Currently the damage has poor return on the investment. Got greater damage return picking up multiplicative damage nodes elsewhere for lightning and earth magic. Damage from crones staff is still bugged with storm strike. Hopefully next season it gets some love.

@@brianmarotta937 thanks man

Yeah it’s a huge 100% multiplier. Makes up for some of what we lost with thunderstruck nerf.

Yeah, it still casts, just no room to put aspect on to make the mini pulverize wave.

mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/profile/e3d45174-293f-4ac8-928f-1d8513cb8e87/builds/fe7dea2c-a9b2-426d-a99f-743972bce83c This is the new build I settled on this season

They all go down just as easy, so I didn’t notice.

I did a T8 just to do it. Completed it, but takes too long to be worth it with Stormclaw. T7 is a sweet spot for farming, and even then you have to invest heavily into the build.

Unless you have a perfect 4GA roll you lose out on DPS from loss of attack speed. You would have to give up one of the other 2 slots to regain rapid aspect to cap out near 200 attack speed. As of right now poison does not scale well on a Druid like it does on a Rogue. But have it, maybe you will enjoy using it. All builds are just templates with room for change and improvement.

@@brianmarotta937 Appreciate the response. So is the main damage in this build coming from stormclaw instead of poison? Just trying to understand the point of Andariels instead of Shako or another helmet if you are not scaling poison.

Attack Speed, constant heal, and poison. The nova still does 2million to 10million when it procs. It triggers a bunch of passives from the paragon, and Envenom from the skill tree is a wide radius. Envenom being a huge damage multiplier. Andy’s is best in slot for helmet on this build.

In, not is

@@brianmarotta937 Thanks again for all the info!

@@brianmarotta937thanks! Stormclaw is my favorite build since s0. Happy to see some strong non-meta builds 😊

It does way more damage than last season, even with the Thunderstruck nerf. Still not a meta build, but it is fun and gets the job done

how does it do more dmg what massive buffs made up for the thunderstruck nerf?

With the changes to gear, affixes, buffs, skills and putting it all together. Can kill tormented bosses in 60 seconds. Couldn’t do that with Stormclaw last season

oh I just thought almost everything that Stormclaw used was getting nerfed so I thought it would be terrible since I heard some UA-camrs say it would be almost unplayable but it seems quite good

It’s not meta. People only like meta. Non meta equals bad to professional gamers who make a living off this stuff. Then the masses echo the sentiment.

If I am lucky I may find someone selling one after season ends.

@brianmarotta937 0 seconds ago I had one last season. This season I could not get one to drop. Seems like on seasonal server there are a few for sale. But on the eternal server I can’t find one. The build isn’t popular so no one looking I guess.

I am not entirely sure. Claw, Storm Strike, Earth Spike. Cataclysm and Petrify. Probably others but I never tried to break it down further.

I am not sure as this is a totally different build. This build does not use boulder.

@@brianmarotta937 I was asking as if you added it, i can see the effeciency of your skill CDs with only the 2CD skills is wonderful, dont know if it would get ruined with other skills

Yeah, if I put other skills and accidentally trigger them it messes with the cooldowns. I used the points in multiplicative Damage passives instead

@@brianmarotta937 Understand that completely. I actually built a similar build, but added the boulders... its insane.. loving it. They dont drop when you refresh it.

I will be adding a written build guide to this video this weekend when I have off from work.

Shako should work just fine. You just won’t have the poison AOE and ticks. I tested Shako in tier 91 pits, I added the aspect that gives 2 percent healing on attacks to my pants to make it easier to keep Tyreals might going. It worked just fine. I just didn’t like the loss of the AOE, but it made me tanker.

Tankier

I went with cataclysm because I invested heavy into lighting damage in the build.

mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/profile/62315b1c-7f44-4f83-a988-43b6df67a1ec/builds/8c2404c6-9189-414b-84d8-09e8c63f60fd This is the build I use. Unfortunately Stormclaw is not meta, and it is looking like with the upcoming nerfs in season 5 Stormclaw will be a dead build altogether.

I appreciate it! Will take a look. Again, really impressive. I did see disappointment with upcoming Druid changes, is the cap on thunderstruck what you’re thinking will hurt the build? Huge bummer regardless.

Yeah. We are losing 150 to 200 percent multiplicative damage with no buffs to compensate. Crones staff has been bugged for a long time now, and they have not acknowledged it because it’s not a popular build. Crones needs to be fixed. The lighting and storm skill tags all need fixing so they proc off each other and the associated aspects and boons that should have synergy. The free casts of storm strike are not correctly buffed by damage multipliers. We need some buffs to basic skill damage, and a way to use either a totem, or one handed weapon in addition to the crones staff. This would help even though it would still not compete with most other builds. At least it would still be usable without beating your head against a wall. Meanwhile I can take an undefeated Rogue or Barb and clear 120 pits while sleepwalking. Other than bugged builds on the PTR Druid builds are still mediocre . Poor sorcerers are in the same shape.

Under geared not undefeated

Thanks. It’s too bad Stormclaw doesn’t really have much more to give. The build needs the bugs fixed, and a lot of buffs. Instead, we are being nerfed for the upcoming season. I just don’t get it, it’s not like it’s overpowered.

I agree, I don't understand either. It's such a badass build. It doesn't exactly feel dominating shooting puffs of air with windsheer. Druid needs buffs in better places.

I love this build, but it's so weak in comparison

Yeah it needs fixing. Instead it’s getting nerfed hard.

@@brianmarotta937i want for that , i like stormclaw

You would have to ask Elon, I have no idea what he uses.

@@brianmarotta937 IsTyrael effective?

The damage reduction and resistance affixes are the main benefits, the extra damage with the holy bolts is just a bonus.

Unfortunately Stormclaw is not in a good place in the current meta. Druids as a whole need reworks, and buffs. Instead they are nerfing us in season 5 for no good reason. It seems like they want everyone to use either barbarian or rogue.

@@brianmarotta937 I agree! So wouldn’t the new unique gloves be great?!

Very cool.

Thanks

Changelings debt is awesome for mobbing, but for boss fights it does not work as you can not crowd control a boss. I needed an all around damage multiplier for pit and solo tormented bosses. With chance to stun on my boots and pants, I proc retribution on ads and elites. On bosses it procs when I stagger them.

ua-cam.com/video/OrWsU_lrBwc/v-deo.htmlsi=s0KdRoNtUz4qzbOP Shako vs Anderial

That's fair I didn't know how it worked but I see now. Does the interaction with werewolf's and the rabies legendary aspect help proc it more often at all ? Or is it strictly your attacks? Cause I wanted to make a build with Andy's and have the werewolf companions follow if it worked

Two separate procs. Anderials Procs off lucky hit chance. The higher your total luck hit chance, the more often it procs. Claw has a very high lucky hit chance and when combined with high attack speed it constantly goes off.

From looking at the initial information today about season 5, your idea for a build may actually be very strong next season

@@brianmarotta937 doesn't your pets get every stat you do so wouldn't they get lucky hit chance as well or does that not transfer over. I don't know 100% how it works really so just wondering . But yes season 5 looks better for it with the buffs
