DOT EQ Druid, "ManBearPig" | 1.1 Build Guide

[@PerrythePig]

Hey, look! This build already has INSANE BUFFS coming in an upcoming patch. Ctrl-f "Earthquake" and take a look! forum.lastepoch.com/t/upcoming-skill-buffs/73084

[@vincentco7995]

its the way of the hunt node in the swipe tree thats letting you leech. its been broken since 1.0. been complaining to EHG for months, hopefully your channel can bring it to their attention.

[@Fluxdotexe]

Running a version of this currently with some of my own tweaks in HC around 300 corruption atm. The bug is sad, but I opted to not even take the left half that starts with leech and have still been cruising. Swipe is just a buff generator/aftershock proc anyway.

[@GavrynGaming]

This build is awesome, I'm super cereal!

[@Fluxdotexe]

Cruising corruption with a variant of this currently in HC, super fun build. The form swap is the icing on the cake. I baked in some CDR for faster swaps to maintain uptime on the 70% form change DR. Edit: Druid made it to first level 100 in HC since mid cycle refresh, around 400 corruption atm.

Great Build. Tanky, fast and powerful. Using XITHARA'S CONUNDRUM and removing the single point in Spirit Warden passive removes most of the health leech. If you somehow still proc a lot of health leech, remove all points from Way of the Hunt in the Swipe tree and redistribute those elsewhere.

[@Fluxdotexe]

much better amulet options vs xitharas though.

[@thelastcrumb4799]

Why spend points increasing the minimum or maximum number of aftershocks if an enemy can only be hit by one? I understand investing in the totem node since enemies can then be hit by the totem's aftershocks in addition to your own, but I do not see why you would want to increase the number of aftershocks per earthquake.

[@Bakau681]

Yay love weerebear been waiting for this

[@LovesEggs]

Nice to see the Curse's build from beta is still going strong

[@miroslavgruev8223]

Do you have the Beastmaster version of the build???

[@Kustom44]

Do you think DoT is better than Crit in the Endgame? Crit just seems so powerful, especially with Reen.

[@elvenchakra]

for earthquake aftershocks, going dot means spending 5 skill nodes for an overall 1100% more multi, kinda hard for crit to match that :P

[@PerrythePig]

adding to what Elvenchakra responded with: being DOT means we don't need to gear at all for Crit, which is nice given that EQ has no base crit in it.

[@khay0z]

@@PerrythePig would singularity idol be good here at all? or because it's so much dot damage it wouldn't help much

[@PerrythePig]

@@khay0z itd technically help, but a vast, vast majority of your damage is DOT, so singularity doesn't scale that.

[@vandal_prime9934]

Is it half man, half BearPig, or is it half ManBear, half pig? :D I'm super cereal!!

[@guffi00]

it's cute and all.. but it seems like a lot of items are needed to put it together also, EHG please add a pig hat (like Victor's from vermintide2), come on, the time has come to commemorate my man over here.

[@PerrythePig]

i promise that the itemization is not difficult - I should have discussed this in the video. Before Red Rings, you can use the mini red ring: Crab Ring. It's so good. Another great option is Ocearean, for the More Damage + Less Damage Taken. The build just *happens* to use Red Rings incredibly well.

[@guffi00]

@@PerrythePig thanks for the extended reply!

[@Bakau681]

@@PerrythePig Whats the crab ring?

[@myriad000]

any plans to play path of exile?

[@GerdionXT]

Man u are just in time . I wanted to try Druid, Any chance Devs will buff melee? IMHO LE as melee is a different game and we don't get any reward by paling melee anyway QQ How much beast master will be better on this build ?

[@СашаМереСеред]

bro hey , what about lootfilter can u pls link them , ty!

[@MartinEB72]

Any recomendations for leveling Druid for this?

[@MrJBleedge]

"painfully" and then you need absurdly impossible gear to be viable

[@PerrythePig]

the person who responded to you is only half correct. Leveling any primalist is painful. I totally recommend making a bunch of twink Attack gear and leveling with Tempest Strike, and gathering storm before that. regarding the "absurd" gear, the other commenter is incorrect. This is the kind of build that you play for a long time (because its fun and rewarding), and you just happen to gear it up over time. Lacking Red Rings? Use Crab Ring and Ocearean instead. Lacking something else? Just swap in a lesser version. The build doesn't perform well because of the gear -- it performs well, and you gear it up.

[@PerrythePig]

responded to the other commenter -- you're half right.

[@MrJBleedge]

@@PerrythePig I thought spriggan was the goto for leveling. Could you be so kind to point out a decent leveling build and at what point it's convenient to switch warbear? Thanks.

[@pizzaman42]

Could a good rolled Omnis take the place of the Nihilis?

[@PerrythePig]

for sure, it's a stepping stone. Oracle Amulet for DOT mitigation, or a 2/3LP Xithara's could be used as well.

[@pizzaman42]

@@PerrythePig Thank you for the response

[@awnik99]

Im level 80 and tried this build for a whole week. Its all dependent on idols and that is why it sucks. Unelss you find idols that can trigger aftershock you are basically running around with very low damage and you have specialised skill that dont ever trigger....

[@PerrythePig]

the aftershock idols are completely optional. In fact, I only used them because I liked how they felt. For a minmax you'd rather just use hybrid health idols.

[@gabbaman18]

is it good for mapping too?

[@PerrythePig]

still a melee build, but the availability of Werebear's Rampage along with perma haste and frenzy made it pretty fun.

[@gabbaman18]

@@PerrythePig do you swap the Form in monos too or only on bossfights?

[@Redapenning]

nice

[@eradicusthewarrior9736]

To be honest im very angry about EHG, this leech bug on low life bear swipe is still there since 1.0 ....

[@CyberScence]

u can bypass this

[@eradicusthewarrior9736]

@@CyberScence how ?

[@CyberScence]

1. Use XITHARA'S CONUNDRUM 2. Remove "Spirit Warden" point of Druid tree because it's bugged... that 1 point still triggers the 5 points bonus 3. We're welcome

[@matthewgrimes7889]

swipe is what is healing you

[@PerrythePig]

yeah, the swipe leech is bugged. it took us a while to figure out that its bypassing the Boulderfist Gloves.

[@CyberScence]

@@PerrythePig it's not the swipe but the "Spirit Warden" in the Druid tree that 1 point triggers the 5 point special effect + u need the XITHARA'S CONUNDRUM
