Pulverize Build Skill Progression
At the early levels, focus on unlocking and upgrading Pulverize since it will provide most of this build's damage. Aside from active skills, you can also get useful passives such as Provocative and Crushing Earth to help you reach the point requirements for the latter skill trees.
Once you reach the Ultimate skill tree, prioritize maxing out Grizzly Rage to significantly boost your overall damage and survivability once your transform into a Werebear for a long period. With those upgrades, it is recommended to get the Ursine Strength passive at the last skill tree.
After unlocking the Key Passive, start investing on the rest of the recommended passives, depending on whether the build needs defenses or more damage.
Pulverize Build Spirit Boons
| Storm Druid Spirit Boons | |
|---|---|
| Gift of the Stag (Deer) |
Gain 30 Maximum Spirit. You gain 10 Spirit every second. |
| Scythe Talons (Eagle) |
Gain +10% increased Critical Strike Chance. |
| Avian Wrath (Eagle) |
Gain 40% Critical Damage. |
| Pack Leader (Wolf) |
Lucky Hit: Critical Strikes have up to 30.0% chance to reset the Cooldowns of your Companion Skills. |
| Obsidian Slam (Snake) |
Every 6th casted attack will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower. |
Setup is available if you've bonded with the Eagle Spirit.
For Spirit Boons, you would want to get the Gift of the Stag to gain more Spirit, Scythe Talons and Avian Wrath for increased Critical Strike hit and damage, Pack Leader for increased usage of Poo, and Obsidian Slam for Overpowering Pulverize.
Best Chaos Perks
| Chaos Perks Setup | ||
|---|---|---|
 Invigorating Attacks
|
 Accelerating Chaos
|
 Power Siphon
|
Invigorating Attacks is one of the best Chaos perks for leveling up because it increases your Spirit generation, allowing you to cast Pulverize more often.
This works fairly well when used with Accelerating Chaos. It deals additional bonus damage when it triggers while simultaneously reducing a random active cooldown. This allows your stronger skills, such as Grizzly Rage, to become available more often.
Lastly, Power Siphon synergizes well with Pulverize, greatly increasing its damage at the cost of limiting your maximum resource pool. The drawbacks of using this skill wouldn't be as bad as it appears, as encounters end fast during the levelling process.

The best mercenary to hire for this build is Subo, since he can significantly raise this build's Critical Strike Damage and Slow enemies with Cover Fire Skill while providing Movement Speed with Ready at Hand passive.
On the other hand, it is recommended to have Varyana with her Bloodthirst enlisted in the Pulverize skill since this will grant the Druid increased attack speed to gain more Spirit and with Wind Shear to be able to cast Pulverize.

The playstyle of the Pulverize Druid build is simple and easy to play as it mainly focuses on maintaining Werebear form and utilizes the Overpower buff to clear with Pulverize. The usual rotation is as follows:

- Cast Poison Creeper to Poison and Immobilize enemies to maximize damage with the Nature's Reach passive.
- Save your Earthen Bulwark to get remove crowd control effects.
- Use Trample as a mobility tool or as a way to gain Spirit if it is upgraded to Savage Trample.
- Once Grizzly Rage is unlocked, always use it when available before fights.
Druid Leveling Tips for Season 10
| Season 10 Druid Leveling Tips |
|---|
|
|
Obtain the Aspect of Calm Breeze
Obtain the Aspect of Calm Breeze from the Grinning Labyrinth Dungeon as soon as possible, as this is a significant Aspect to the build. This will allow this build to deal significant poison damage via Wind Shear while taking advantage of passives like Neurotoxin and Envenom.
Aspect of the Calm Breeze Effects and How to Get
Clear Tur Dulra Stronghold at Level 14
It's best to start clearing the Tur Dulra Stronghold since this will be a key area in unlocking the Druid's class mechanic. If you take on this Stronghold at level 14, you'll reach level 15 by the end and will be able to get the Spirits of the Lost Grove priority quest, which will unlock the Spirit Boons.
How to Beat Tur Dulra Stronghold
Play Through the Vessel of Hatred Content
If you have the Vessel of Hatred expansion, you can also farm gear and power levels in the Kurast Undercity once you get the build going and get faster clearing monster packs.
Progress Through the Seasonal Content
The best way to get stronger in Season 10 is by participating in multiple Nightmare Dungeons and Horadric Strongrooms. Horadric Strongrooms can be found in Nightmare Dungeons and clearing them will net rewards depending on the amount of attunement gained.

Nice build man! I was running this from 1-65. I just swapped to pulverize and kinda regret it. I love this build better! I love the APM, they procs and the fact that you use different abilities. Not just tornadoes or pulverize! Looking forward to your takes on the paragon tree!
