Do a lightening one?

[@cliffordkeith8437]

Does every third hit from lacerate receive lupine ferocity buff? Does this mean lupine ferocity procs 3 times per lacerate?

[@NikoWrex]

I would imagine so.

[@PostprandialTorpor]

So for landslide are we gonna have to go bear form? is human form to underpowered?

[@NikoWrex]

Looks like the best option but there are some really good helms. It’s hard to say.

[@daveysquier]

Awesome nico! Thanks

[@NikoWrex]

Absolutely brother!

Wish I had a PC instrad of Xbox, I am super interested to see how Loghtning Storm attack speed bug fix effects things and see if Tornado build is as weak as I think its gonna be. Would also love.to compare a pure human caster landslide build against stormslide to see if it will still be viable.i think the only way stormslide makes it with the thunderstruck nerf is if the loghtning storm AS bug fix makes it better and that transfers over to stormslide as well.

[@NikoWrex]

I find it hilarious that they said the attack speed not scaling LS was a bug.

[@tasandmnm69]

@@NikoWrex Well that is because it is obviously HILARIOUS 😂 I think my soul left my body last night when I saw all the cool Barb/Rogue datamined uniques/aspects and then every single new Druid aspect was pets or resource 🙄🤬

[@PostprandialTorpor]

Really hoping they revise the basilisk with better affixes such as chance to double cast landslide to make it a great earth damage weapon. Again, storm seems to get a lot more attention as shown by the cataclysm gloves.

[@NikoWrex]

Pulverize might be good with it

[@DGolden94]

My theory is they made basilisk as a solution to ppl not liking that boulders push enemies away. I'm hoping they revise it as well.

[@PostprandialTorpor]

@@DGolden94or just…change boulder to knock down instead of knock back… you know like rolling boulders do in real life. This would solve the mechanical issue too. Naw, let’s pigeon hole a build into having to take this one weapon to solve the problem

[@DGolden94]

@@PostprandialTorpor It's just my theory but if it is correct, I totally agree with you.

[@johnathonbrooks1927]

Cronestaff needs to change also

[@NikoWrex]

I’m hoping for a massive buff to it.

[@apeckx5090]

90% multiplicative critical strike damage? I thought all crit damage went into the add bucket even though it has an x next to it? Did something change?

[@NikoWrex]

I don’t believe it’s ever worked like that or envenom and avian wrath would be terrible.

[@PostprandialTorpor]

You must be excited for the spirit bonded aspect. No more dead wolves.

[@NikoWrex]

Look really good! Companions are definitely going to be top tier

[@WesleyRodrigues-cx4zd]

Niko, thank you for bring to us the overview about the Druid builds. I’m very excited to see the landslide and that another variation of, stormslide. It will be viable?

[@NikoWrex]

Probably not worth the investment into NF Landslide due to the cap on Thunderstruck.

[@recrub11]

Storm claw dead ??

[@NikoWrex]

Not sure yet. So much new info coming out about S5. Everything seems up in the air at this point.

[@combatsack]

Rise n grind

[@NikoWrex]

Yes and YES!

[@WatcherEight]

Sigh, kinda bummed out that Waxing gibbous is still hot garbage

[@NikoWrex]

Hot garbage left outside on a humid summer day after a small rainstorm.

[@WatcherEight]

@@NikoWrex Its obvious to me that you are a man of culture and sophistication

[@NikoWrex]

@@WatcherEight 😂🤣😂 Indubitably

[@apollo5756]

Old unique havent been updated for the PTR I thought?

[@NikoWrex]

They haven’t. Just talking about the datamine and Gibbous now have DoT damage on axe. Hopefully it will be addressed in the official patch notes for S5
