Boulder Druid Pit 110 Clear Season 6 Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred

[@J_MACC]

I'm probably done pushing until we hear about the mid season patch. Just going to grind paragon for awhile and try to get the few little upgrades I still need.

[@PadfootsDad]

Will you be making a video guide for this? I enjoyed your landslide one last season.

[@nashhenry9314]

Damn amazing lmfaooo because all other characters are trash this season lmfaoo

[@nicholass57]

Curious your thoughts on the new patch? Is this still the best build? And if it is, how much higher do you think we can push with the new updates? Thanks!

[@J_MACC]

@@nicholass57 obviously Druid got stronger with the buffs but nothing really changed. Boulder imo was already the strongest build and it got the most buffs so it should have the highest pit clear. Tornado is much more usable now but won’t compete with the top builds. Boulder can probably push to like 115-118. This is all assuming that we don’t get stealth bug fixes or new bugs are introduced.

[@ECB_Ayye_Zee]

​@@J_MACC have you thought about switching the ring of the starless for the mjlnic ryng and switching petrify with cataclysm? I understand we would lose the core skills stats but we get more willpower, an extra 50% damage from the aspect, and we can replace the lucky hit chance to restore primary resource on our weapon for some more additive damage since we will be having unlimited spirit, I know there is definitely room for improvement because I'm only level 246 and I just hit 90b on my Boulder build with my glyphs not being maxed out,I'm just curious on your thoughts on any room for improvement and why nobody is using the mjlnic ryng

[@NikoWrex]

Love it brother! Great job! Where are you at in terms of gear? 90-95% min/max?

[@J_MACC]

Thanks dude. I can probably squeeze another 20-30% damage out from gear. I just don’t know how realistic that’s going to be with how bad the Druid trade market is. The build probably maxes out at 113-115 with perfect gear and max paragon.

[@NikoWrex]

@ I’d say you’re spot on. Druid market definitely sucks. Doing this in HC and it’s pretty much SSF or bust. Makes getting max Aspects almost impossible.

[@J_MACC]

@@NikoWrex oh yea can’t imagine how rough it is in hardcore. I’m still missing max aspects as well.

[@NikoWrex]

@@J_MACC I hope they address the aspect issue tomorrow.

[@ryanba3]

Congrats!! Solid run!

[@Infernadragogaming]

Can u do a gear showcase?

[@gcubitt]

Very nicely done! And with plenty time left as well.

[@hong1082]

Hi man) what’s you think about mid season patch notes?

[@hong1082]

Nice run man! Congrats! What’s you think about one hand+totem, or doombringer?

[@J_MACC]

I don’t see any reason to run a legendary 1 hander and totem. Doombringer is kind of interesting but I don’t see how it would be better for pushing, probably feels fine for speed farming though.

[@Kingptah90]

Awesome druid hopefully we get some buffs mid season patch

[@GarrettFra]

How do you keep you mana full? Im missing something it seems

[@eljoguido]

How hard did you grind to get the god rolls on your ancestrals and mythics? I'm currently on T3 also with BoulderCane and I'm struggling to have constant 10M+ ticks.

[@leoa80]

yooo ggs, im looking at ur profile and im not sure how u get +1 item contribuiton on bad omen, elemental exposure, charged atmosphere and eletric shock. from which item are u getting that? thank u

[@J_MACC]

Shroud of False Death chestpiece gives +1 to all passives.

[@ucankawun7851]

Omg. What a gameplay. İ never can play this runes like you :) so hard even while watching. You are druid god man ;)

[@devonbrito3350]

Sick run as always . I’m on pit 97 !

[@蔡孟翰-h7d]

I would like to ask how to ensure that the triggered 100% damage increase works correctly on "Boulder" I have been following the anchor’s videos for a long time

[@J_MACC]

You want to line it up with your hunters zenith overpower. Watch the QAX rune buff on your bar and the hunters zenith buff. Ideally you cast poison creeper last to trigger QAX, then you cast Boulder at 30 stacks of hunters zenith. It takes a while to get used to and I still mess it up quite a bit.

[@蔡孟翰-h7d]

@@J_MACC I thought about your way from the beginning. But it's just too hard to work in the field. That's why I didn't choose this configuration.

[@J_MACC]

@@蔡孟翰-h7d it gets much easier with practice. If executed properly it’s very high damage.

[@tialia12892]

May I know why you use headhunter glyph which only give about 100wil, why not fang and claw or maybe werebear?

[@J_MACC]

@@tialia12892 it’s more willpower than that with percentage willpower on the helmet. Fang and claw is fine but keep in mind you aren’t shapeshifted 100% of the time, I’m actually messing with fang and claw over outmatch. Werebear glyph is less damage than both.

[@tialia12892]

@@J_MACC oh I see, thanks a lot bro

[@the7thnumber]

Im trying to copy this build. Whats the gameplay rotation?

[@J_MACC]

Unless you’re pushing high level pits I wouldn’t recommend playing the QAX rune version, it’s not necessary. If you are playing QAX you’re trying to line up the QAX rune with your hunters zenith overpower. Ideally, you trigger QAX with casting poison creeper last, then you cast Boulder at 30 stacks of hunters zenith. You will just have to play it and get a feel for stacking both the QAX rune and zenith at the same time to line them up. It’s not easy and will take quite a bit of practice.

[@kylerichings3065]

Why not tibaults for pants as we're close to or 100% unstoppable? Is exploiters aspect that good or petrify duration?

[@J_MACC]

I’ve tried tibaults a bit, I think it’s a solid option. Keep in mind it’ll be more difficult to get to armor cap, but that may not really matter that much. Tibs gives you more boss damage and more consistent damage overall.

[@gustavoluis6989]

hello brother! I'm following your evolution, super cool! I realized that he changed the weapon, took it ruinous, why? thanks for sharing!

[@J_MACC]

You mean the retaliation aspect? I’ve been running that on weapon the entire time. Metamorphic stone is bugged and not increasing damage like it should be.

[@蔡孟翰-h7d]

@@J_MACC Yes you are right . I tested it and got the same result as you.

[@josesantibanez]

Thoughts about mid season patch for druid?

[@J_MACC]

Well, it’s obviously an improvement but it’s not really going to change much. Barring any new bugs, Boulder should be the undisputed strongest build and is getting the most buffs. Cataclysm got a bit stronger but only by a pit tier or two. Tornado is atleast a playable build now but won’t compete with the strongest builds. All the builds got slightly stronger with the spirit boon and key passive buffs but again really doesn’t change much.

[@nashhenry9314]

Is it good pvp bro

[@gustavoluis6989]

I'm also a druid, pit 100, sweaty😂

[@tztxz80]

Holy crud you videos are frustrating..... I have the same basic paragon and copy the build but cannot touch the level of consistency or amount of damage.... One confusion: your video shows 268 paragon points but build has 326 points used.... so trying to re-create what you've done is difficult.

[@J_MACC]

I’m sorry it’s been frustrating, I need to get around to making a guide. When I get home from work I will add my current exact paragon board to the planner. I would recommend not running the QAX version unless you are trying to push high level pits, it’s not necessary for general farming and will just be annoying to play.

[@ECB_Ayye_Zee]

This guy saying the patch didnt change much is full of crap, my boulder druid increased 10 pit tiers super easily after the patch, and i did not change a single item before pushing the extra 10 levels, im level 246 doing pit tier 105 easily and my gear is way worse than this guys gear, less greater affixes than this guy, and all my glyphs are like level 80, just because this bozo decided not to continue pushing doesnt mean the rest of you should give up, especially when it comes to this guy, i gave him a suggestion and he said he would never try it😂 sounds to me like bro is too much of a know it all to actually push higher, the only way we will get to see him push a higher pit is if the asian dude he copied makes another break through on the build or something, like this guy has lucky hit to make people vulnerable but 0 vulnerable damage
