Just found a Crone staff and really want to give this a try, but reworking all my gear and paragon board has me conflicted. D4 sure makes it difficult to experiment as a semi-casual.
I have that build with trample landslide. Zoom around as werewolf to proc cd reset and trample with 6 landslides. The bulwark is a nice addition to the dps.
Has anyone noticed that Protector Aspect just procs on basicslly anything ? Thr descriptions says on elites, but it procs everything you hit from monsters to breakable objects
I'm doing something very similar but with the Trample-Landslide Aspect combos. Using Crone to get very fast CD resets... Earthen Bulwark explosion is supplementary though and not exactly focused on. It synergizes well with the Trample-Slide mechanics. Not the best build but it's fun to play.
Lol I wrote exactly the same and then read your post. I don’t care if it’s not the best build. It’s super fun. And I’m proud that I came up with it by myself. People these das play the game like a job and copy everything from streamers.
I'm doing similar although as I learn about other builds, I figure out how to tweak my build even more... I wasn't using the wolf helm, but swapping to that and picking up cataclysm over cyclone armor and then speccing into some werewolf/poison passives has made my self healing crazy and increased my damage a lot too since you can get 30%x crit damage to poisoned mobs.
Your builds are fire man, earned my subscribe. Too bad i cant play these amzing builds because blizzard decided druids should drop barbarian uniques :)
I've got like 20-30 unique drops (3 on my level 30 sorcerer in 1 power level dungeon btw) and I haven't got a single Tempest Roar (Storm-Wolf Unique helmet). I do have a Two Handed Mace for Upheaval (barb) though. Honestly, with how gamebreaking uniques are, we need a specific way to craft the minimum rolls for them because the game is legit impossible without them on some classes and even if you get one that is viable the game is boring AF if it isn't the Unique you actually want/need for the build YOU WANT TO PLAY. I can farm ANY content in the game, but Pulverize Druid is boring as fuck, but it is the only set of Uniques I have got that I can use for end game content. Pretty fucking dumb loot system that even D3 did better imo.
@@TheRealBlakersyeah because pulverize is boring. Gamble for a bunch of gloves and you’ll easily find the gear you need for trampleslide, way more fun than pulverize and probably better once you get all you need. I’ve practically have no CD on trample and can spam it all day, super fun and the pieces you need drop fairly often.
@@Bruno-lr9lm Already have the pieces for the 0 CD Druid. It is a meme build that is only useful if you play solo, otherwise you're just throwing enemies around and screwing up the rotations of other classes/builds. It is fun, but it is borderline useless in group play. The entire point of my comment was the fact that the only build I have wanted to play since Beta is the only build I do not have the gear for with absolutely no way to target farm it. Gambling doesn't give Uniques, Whispers have an incredibly low chance, NM dungeons give you a single chance at one, etc... The loot system how it is currently is trash and people who disagree haven't made it past level 60 to actual end game content.
Awesome build! Im currently Level 62 and have a sacred Crone - do you think that I can use this build if I get CDR Amulet and Helm? Or is a sacred weapon too weak?
I wouldn't personally use this build for leveling as it doesn't have the quickest clearing potential. Its better designed to push high nightmare tiers. But if you want to give it a go it shouldn't cost u too much to respec at lvl 62
Are we certain the dmg increase snapshots in human form when we cast bulwark? Or is the dmg calculated when it pops, most likely in Wolf form. For the Human Glyph i was thinking?
Do you feel swapping the elite barrier aspect for the Aspect of Quicksand has any value? My thought would be that the first bulwark hit would be causing it's own crowd control.
now i wonder if you can utilize aspect that increases hurricane damage for every second it active when you can reactivate it before it ends every time )
Question, since they hot fixed Toxic Claws interaction yesterday, how does the lightning build work now ? still good or this one is way better compared to it ?
Thanks for the video. One thing I spotted when was messing with it that bulvark damage does not scale with weapon, but with life pool. So u might not need the highest damage staff to play this. Or am i missing something?
Is there a way to get the great staff? Without being in torment 4? I’ve been grinding pretty hard like is there a specific way I can get the staff or atleast a specific area where I should be farming so I have a better chance of getting the drop lol
The only reason when the staff is better than one hand is when you use the aspect to make werewolf skills count as win skills for nature's fury replace one of your offensive ones with it. Everytime you cast a basic you will have two 20% chances to proc nature's fury. You're up time on bulwark would be way higher. Also lets you use blood howl and cast a free bulwark as well as remove the cooldown on it as well. Further increasing your uptime. Edit: I'm an idiot and never read the claw storm skill part of crones
Ah damn how do I not catch these things thanks man. Don't understand what multiplier was producing the millions of damage. Think the latest hotfix was in response to this
I followed this build and just don't have the damage output shown :( My gear stats are not perfect but my aspects are could it be that.. The bulwark will blow up and oftentimes do literally zero damage to everything.
goooood~ I have a question,, Is "lucky hit chance" a must for this build? Is 'Damage while in Human Form' a must for the chest armor? Isn't it normally Werewolf Form?
lucky hit chance is a non-optimal stats, there are better rolls other than lucky hit chance on rings, damage while human is better than damage while werewolf for this build because most of the damage is coming from earthen bulwark. when you use earthen bulwark while you have a previous one active, the previous one explodes dealing its damage, and when you cast earthen bulwark you turn back to being a human, so you deal most of your damage while in human form despite spending most of your time in werwolf form
I swapped over but struggling at t49, i noticed the hits get bigger as you go up tiers, but should we be spamming bulwark? I have an issue where I get frozen after losing my bulwark andn ot being able to proc to hit again
Have you been able to push a level 100 Nightmare with this build? I have seen the low life crone build but would rather not leaving my health at 4k or below lol
I didnt play this build for long coz I wanted to try other things but people have definitely cleared t100s with the full life version as well. Check out Goblin who covers all the bulwark builds in greater detail
I’m level 100 with max tolls on all the aspects in the build and exact paragon hitting about up to 16ish mil in 69 tier, I still need to level my glyphs tomorrow but seems to be doing well. Although I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to hit up to 100 mil at any point
Idk man it’s big damage but so far and few in between idk, how does this scale as far as playability compared to lightning wolf in higher tier nightmares? I’m currently t40
Hi, I switched to this build and have a question about the HUMAN glyph, as I am constantly spamming Claw in werewolf form, is the Human glyph really taken into account when the Bulwark explodes while I am in werewolf form ? Kinda confuses me.
Respecs in this game feel punishing especially since it’s structured like an mmo char buildup in arpg setting. Blizzard seriously needs to do some quality of life updates to allow multiple builds for one char imo. Love your content baldus.
In what Arpg you have QoL to let you change build in one clic without restrictions ? Diablo 3. And that's all. Don't know where you think putting respecing restrictions is a mmo thing, it's typically an arpg thing. You willfind different type of restrictions for respec in all arpgs except some very rare exceptions. We don't want a diablo 3.1
@@Ilestun what's the downside of QoL for changing specs, such as a wardrobe function? Just because it was in D3, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. D3 did some things correctly.
big agree, i just dont understand the reason to not have lodouts, especially with druid that we are required to change the skill tree/paragons/ whole ass set of gear just to play more than 1 build
@@hejalll I didn't say it's a bad thing. I say it's absolutely not an ARPG thing. Play PoE, play Last Epoch, plus D2, plus Titan Quest, Torchlight or whatever, that's just not there. Everyone can have its preference about having free and one button total respec. And actually the most bothering is changing the paragon boards settup, it takes time just like respecing a char in PoE.
Hmm. Made my build pretty close to yours around lvl 93 and around 10-15 glyph levels but never saw dmg above 2-3 Mil. How come you get those very high numbers
Cool build I remember reading of the explosion mechanic and it made me think a lil bit I never bothered to even try doing something, this seems really cool
I did an 84 but you can go higher if u play slow. The way this build works it enables you to complete very high tiers. You can wait for your petrify and go slowly through a dungeon and 1 shot all elites without taking damage.
Why go for human form sigil when you are clawing (werewolf) 90% of the time? Isn't it better to go werewolf in that case? Or does it apply to bulwarck?
When you activate bulwark you are in human, but I agree you probably dont need the increased damage and the damage reduction with werewolf glyph would be better
Did they already change the protector aspect? I got the codex one like you said but it says 880 barrier and I also found loot pants that are 1,660 which is double what the codex aspect would give and is definitely not the maximum.
@@BaldusMaximus_ Just hit 50 and was looking around for something fun to build and this looks really well made and fun to play but got hung up on that part of the video
This staff is my most wanted item cuz its key for every build I wanna play haha. I have a question about the "Tornado seeks up to x additional targets". Have you tried that one in your nature's fury/tornado build? Is it worth taking?
That aspect only increases damage if used on an amulet or 2h weapon. It says it does 100% of normal damage at max roll, implying there is no damage increase. It needs a change for it to be good imo
The survivability is insane i dont ever have to pop potions even on enemies that are 20 levels higher in nm dungeons, but the damage just isnt there tbh. You'll occasionally get a 1.1 mill or a little higher off a crit strike earthen bulwark explosion but other than that it's just for fun
@@SilentMind can confirm, damage is lacking a lot... you can survive a hell if you dont get a stun in the worst time, but I cant get any really high damage numbers... and on the world map, when doing some group activities, until I get 1 or 2 bulwark explosions, most of the screen is already dead by some other ultra dps classes
@@SilentMind this build is way better at level 100 than say level 80. It is one of the few builds that actually scales with level ups because the damage scales with your base hp. also, you dont need the staff to make this build work. You can instead change some stuff around and run a trample+landslide on the build instead for massive instant aoe clear and crazy mobility+ another form of cc break. Since you can also now use a totem which can have cooldown reduction you can instead of the helm run vasily's prayer so every landslide and earthen bulwark explosion heals you through masochistic too
@@zackfaircc5624 im nearly level 100 atm and just cant say i feel like im actually helping do anything other than tanking and occasional clears when people die on this build, i'm gonna hope i get tempest roar soon so i can run storm wolf instead
You could, instead of crashstone or something. However idk if stacking damage is even important in this build the way it scales. It seems to 1 shot enemies regardless, so going full defensive might be a good option if nothing changes with the skill.
Blizzard: 'We saw that druid was doing unintentional damage with earthen bulwark, so we have decided to nerf necromancer skeletons by 20% to compensate'

Can you manually trigger earthen bulwark or does it only explode when x amounts of damage is taken?
it explodes after its duration expires which is 3 seconds according to the tooltip

It is one of the few builds that actually scales with level ups because the damage scales with your base hp. also, you dont need the staff to make this build work. You can instead change some stuff around and run a trample+landslide on the build instead for massive instant aoe clear and crazy mobility+ another form of cc break.
Since you can also now use a totem which can have cooldown reduction you can instead of the helm run vasily's prayer so every landslide and earthen bulwark explosion heals you through masochistic too
@@zackfaircc5624 im nearly level 100 atm and just cant say i feel like im actually helping do anything other than tanking and occasional clears when people die on this build, i'm gonna hope i get tempest roar soon so i can run storm wolf instead
Why not use aspect that increases damage if resource is full?
You could, instead of crashstone or something. However idk if stacking damage is even important in this build the way it scales.
It seems to 1 shot enemies regardless, so going full defensive might be a good option if nothing changes with the skill.
Blizzard: 'We saw that druid was doing unintentional damage with earthen bulwark, so we have decided to nerf necromancer skeletons by 20% to compensate'
😂😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣 🤣 so true
theres a way to play without the unic weapon? i messed up my build now i dont have resources to back to pulverize haha
Yeh u can play with 1h and totem with cooldown on it. Use stormstrike and change ult to cataclysm
Why use the glyph human when your always a wolf while fighting
Hey Baldus, can i use a low ilvl crone for this? I have a 700ish ilvl one, low dps
the crone ilvl shouldnt matter the bullwark dmg should only scale with barrier boni but maybe im incorrect
BZ: Okay, I saw it.
If you don't have the staff, or the helm, forget any druid build, besides budget trampleslide :D
what affects the damage of the bulwark? I can only make it to 6k+ but yours have 9k+
ranks probably from +3 in chest
