In this video, the host introduces a Druid build focused on using lightning storms while in werewolf form, highlighting its efficiency for clearing mobs and viability against single targets. Key components include the rare Tempest War, crucial for spirit regeneration and enhanced by Grizzly Rage transformed into Dire Wolf’s Rage. This build capitalizes on significant modifiers to maintain the area of effect (AOE) and critical strikes, balanced with strategies for managing spirit resources through aspects like Mikey Storms and Umbra, which enhance critical damage and resource recovery during crowd control. The "Rampaging Wear Beast" aspect extends Grizzly Rage, while elements like "Lightning Dancers" and "Toxic Claws" contribute to the build’s power by adding critical strikes and poisoning capabilities. The method of inflicting vulnerability on enemies through storm skills is also covered. The host concludes by directing viewers to additional build details and encouraging interaction through likes, comments, and questions.

In this segment, Pat introduces a Druid lightning storm build that involves transforming into a wolf. Instead of using typical melee attacks, the Druid waves his hands to shock enemies, making this build effective for clearing mobs and somewhat decent for single targets, outperforming the pulverize build in Pat’s view. The attack speed depends on the weapon used, and a crucial modifier helps retain the size of the lightning storm’s area of effect (AOE). This modifier makes the skill useful without needing constant channeling, which is vital in high-level nightmare dungeons where standing still can lead to being one-shot by powerful enemies.
Pat plans to focus on key aspects of the build rather than in-depth details, directing viewers to the build link in the description for specific skill point allocations. Essential to the build is the rare Tempest War, which helps regain Spirit and works with grizzly rage modified into dire Wolf’s rage, boosting damage and reducing Spirit cost, allowing frequent use of lightning storm.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for managing spirit resources and optimizing damage in specific gameplay scenarios. They prefer the Mikey Storms aspect for its ability to replenish spirit and guarantee critical strikes. The alternate key passive Lupine Ferocity ensures every sixth werewolf skill critically strikes with a significant damage increase. Discussing various aspects, they highlight the pros and cons of using Earthen Might versus other alternatives like the Overcharged and Rune Workers. The speaker mentions the importance of maintaining a full resource bar for maximizing damage, particularly against single targets, and suggests timing skills effectively. To sustain resources, they use the Aspect of the Umbrella which restores primary resources when crowd-controlling enemies.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the “Rampaging Wear Beast” aspect, which extends the duration of “Grizzly Rage” and increases Critical Strike damage during this state. They mentioned putting it on their ring, which might have been a mistake, as the build heavily relies on “Grizzly Rage” and could benefit more from an 8-second bonus duration instead of five. The speaker dislikes “Rune workers” or “overcharged” because they are using “Lightning Dancers,” which spawn bolts that deal significant damage and can critically strike, boosting the “Grizzly Rage” bonuses. The “Venom” passive increases Critical Strike damage and allows poisoning enemies with lightning due to the “Toxic Claws” power. The build includes “wild impulses” to increase core skill damage but at a higher cost, balanced by “Umbral.” Applying “vulnerable” status is noted as challenging for Druid builds, but achievable through storm skills and the “Elemental Exposure” lucky hit, making enemies vulnerable. The speaker emphasizes that the build is detailed further in the video description for viewers seeking more information.
