Pulverize Druid VS Uber Lilith and Duriel in Diablo 4 season 2 Written build guide

[@JRK988]

(updated) I only followed the paragon board on the link. best in slot stats on rings is Max hp resources gen crit chance and dmg to crowd(best in dungeons)/Overpower dmg(for bosses)/dmg to close or distant or crit strike dmg either one of those will work and increase your dmg even more base on your play style and positioning. one of my ring has poison dmg which is useless or unless I use envenom 😢 still looking for a better ring lol. for weapon either 2H staff or 2Hmace, I prefer mace since this is an overpower build so for stats look for op dmg op dmg while wearbear core skill dmg(all around) dmg to crowd(best in dungeons) critical strike dmg and dmg to distant or close is also good and mostly will power since this is our main stat not only increases our attack power also gives us more Overpower to further increase our dmg output. and for boots will power and all stat movement and any resistance your lacking or dodge or dmg while injured (best in dungeons) ranks to evade is big help. more evade less death (with metamorphosis means more chance to 1 shot mobs too) also if you got time read some of the comments, questions you have might already been answered by me or others thanks!

[@Dorrit01]

I don't do this much damage and my resource is constantly drained what am I doing wrong??

[@JRK988]

​@@Dorrit01in this pulverize druid we do quite often run out of spirits make sure you use basic attack whatever skill you prefer, trample helps regen 60 or more spirit and in dungeon runs we also have umbral aspect which helps us to have almost infinite spirit every cast of pulverize because mobs are always cc(slowed) and when cast some defensive skills it also replenish some spirit I forgot where comes from its there somewhere lol

[@GabrielGonzalez-mw9cg]

@JRK988, much appreciated. Yeah i was torn on which stat for my weapon because i seen an even split recommended between OP/OP(w/skill)/Core/CC and All/Will/Core/CC. I got stuck in between and use All/Will/OP/CC. (staff for Earthen Dev breakpoint).

no I'm doing just fine you wehave circle of life and hemomancy or undying which ever you prefer to use and our hp will be up most of the time as long as your hitting something. if your having issue use an chest armor with disobedience with dmg deductions

Hey brother sick build! Question for you i am running the Stormclaw build and it is great. Do you think this is the best Druid build for AoZ coming out on Dec 5th? Also Prey on the weak, the vampire skill does not work i dont think. I think it is bugged. I hear Poison Shred for druid will be the best.

[@JRK988]

hey thanks! 🍻 anyway first prey on weak works its not bugged + you need the always vulnerable that PoW apply so you can sub out exploit on the paragon and Stormclaw also viable on AoZ if you can incorporate andriel and heart of sieleg it will it make you immortal without sacrificing too much of dmg. shred I doubt it will survive longer since it a massive 1 shot build only. but we will see and I'll update the build once AoZ comes out. really good question btw. I will stick to pulverized for now since it can 1 shot a group of mobs/elite in a single hit since its AoZ the dungeon is Timed for only 10mins it help clear the dungeon real quick.

[@TheDuck52]

I just hit lvl 51, used a lvling pulv build, this looks amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Any recommendations for me at lvl 51 ? And moving forward. Can I respec into this now ?

[@JRK988]

just follow the leveling guide for now till you get all the unique gears that need and reach lvl 80+ then you slowly transitions my build. save up those max aspect umbral and shockwave to put on a better gear or weapon. just do blood harvest legions helltide and world bosses and whispering tree that way you you level up fast and get the mats you need for duriel runs you need the 3 unique drops from duriel also when you reach 80+ start doing some dungeons to level up the glyphs needed in this build there is a bonus 35% exp and gold this week pretty sure youll be Lv100 in no time goodluck and have fun.

[@parabolabyillusion2985]

I love it but I dont quite get it how it works without the head that says earthskills are also wearbearskills...dont you need to generate spirit? the output though xD maybe only for bossing?

[@JRK988]

the gloves ursine horror aspect pulverize is now also earth skills which also counts as nature magic skills. trample generates spirit. also tibault's will(pants) generates spirit thats why having resource gen on rings helps fills its up. on bosses only way to generate spirit is tru activating defensive skills dash/evade counts as defensive skills and for dungeon you will constantly have spirit hitting mobs thats always cc(slowed) triggers umbral aspect on rings so you always have spirit :)

there are these boots, dont know the name.they say everytime you dodge your active cooldowns will be reduced by 4sec...but it doenst seem like you have probs with your cooldowns or can you run nightmare dungeons with your setup? I tried your setup, still missing the amulett though but yeah..I always swith to the human form when using the base attack xD

[@JRK988]

@@parabolabyillusion2985 not sure about that haven't tried it out yet I only use boots with ranks to evade/dash with aspect of the quicksand (hitting enemies with earth skill slows them) which what is pulverized do. it helps get out of bad situation and having it with metamorphosis helps me not getting cc coz its comes with unstoppable yes I tried in NMDT100 I had no issue you will be still be able 1shot everything. if you still dont have a amulet just use any amulet and put disobedience on it that way you have more survivability. try using an amulet with ranks quick shift if your still using alot of basic attacks in between pulv it will do more dmg. if you got the amulet still having issue in T100 try using a chest armor with disobedience on it with max hp dmg deduction close/distant and total armor :)

Is 'Overpower 'and 'Overpower with' calculated the same (or equally)?

yes, both are addtive to each other even tho they were seperated in stats . let say 1900% OP and also you have 100% op while bear it would become a total of 2000% op dmg out put considering you were a bear when you dmg an enemy. you will see less dmg if you hit something while your on a different form other than a bear.

Why not run Raging Pulverize? Then your OP Pulverizes will stun & proc the Godslayer helm.

[@JRK988]

for bosses you dont need it. and for dungeons like T100 It adds more survivability, more dmg deductions is always good. plus I have earth spike that that stuns and trample also stuns and group up mobs. the thing is... more often you will 1 shot everything in a clear path when timed with OP lol. but its a more personal preference and playstyle you run wind shear not earth spike and paired with raging pul. or earth spike paired with primal pulv. either way they both works just fine hehe

[@VicShaw4Shaw]

Why do you use Earth spike in this video, but on the planner it shows Storm strike? It seriously drives me mad when people do this, i watch the video because i was specifically looking for a build that uses earth spike, only to be pissed off when i go to the planner in link, why??

[@JRK988]

to trigger resonance passive bonus dmg its for dungeon and thing this more on personal preference I prefer to keep my distance or if I do ran out of mana in a dungeon run I use earth spike to stun elites to trigger godslayer pull anyway you can use whatever basic attack and remove points from resonance if you think you not going to benifit from it. thats why I said on the pinned comment I only follow the paragon board since its similar to my original board anyway that is the reason.

[@VicShaw4Shaw]

Thanks for the reply, I like to use earth spike for the same reason, it's just something that irritates me when i watch a video and decide to try the build, then the guide is not exactly the same as the video, Rob does it often, you see him with an amulet that has ranks to Wallop then on planner it says Counteroffensive, anyway, thanks again for reply, im running this build now and its going well. :)
