|---|---|
 Tanky Bear Shaman Build |
 Herald of Ash While active, enemies you sufficiently Overkill with attacks will cause an explosion that ignites nearby enemies based on the Overkill damage dealt.
 Berserk While active, strengthens your Rage and grants you Life Leech based on your Rage, but causes you to lose Life while Raging.
 Charge Regulation While active, you gain powerful Buffs based on your active Charges. However, maintaining the Buff consumes Charges every few seconds.
 Furious Slam Shapeshift into a Bear and Slam the ground with great force, causing a pair of shockwaves. Can spend Rage to create larger shockwaves that leave behind Jagged Ground.
 Ferocious Roar Shapeshift into a Bear and roar in defiance, immediately gaining Rage if there are enemies nearby and Empowering subsequent Attacks to Break Armour. Alternatively, socketing a human-form Warcry into this Skill triggers that Warcry instead, and augments its damage and area. This Skill's cooldown can be bypassed by expending an Endurance Charge.
 Walking Calamity While in Bear form, build Glory by gaining Rage while already at maximum Rage. When you have maximum Glory, roar to the heavens to bring them down upon your enemies. For the duration of the Skill and as long as you remain in Bear form, meteors rain down around you and you Gain Fire damage and Rage regeneration.
 Pounce Shapeshift into a Werewolf and leap to a target location, damaging enemies in an area around where you land. Predator's Mark will be Triggered targetting the highest Rarity enemie Hit, or if a Mark gem is socketed into this Skill, that Mark will be Triggered instead. Using this skill allows any Wolf Minions you have to leap immediately.
 Rampage Shapeshift into a Bear and charge forward, Slamming the ground as you run. Channelling ends after a short amount of time but can be prolonged by spending Rage.
 Savage Fury While active, your Fury builds from Attacking enemies. Using this Skill releases your Fury to send you into a bestial frenzy, gaining damage and Onslaught but constantly losing life and forcing you into animal form. The frenzy ends immediately if you return to human form. You cannot fain Fury while in a frenzy.

 Great Survivability and Durable High Fire Damage Strong Against Bosses Slightly Slow |
|
The Tanky Bear Shaman build by Carnarius makes full use of the Bear form's already durable build by stacking Armour and converting all damage dealt by enemies into Fire. For its offensive capabilities, the build infinitely generates Rage, allowing it to call down calamity and meteors on their foes.

Weapons
Try to get a solid Maji Talisman as it has the highest base Physical Damage out of all the Talismans. Furthermore, prioritize getting Physical Damage and Elemental Damage with Attacks modifiers as all your skills will be scaling off the conversion of Physical to Elemental Damage with your attacks.
Level of Attack Skills is also a huge DPS increase as the build revolves around attacks, as well as % Chance to gain Onslaught to further increase your mobbing potential with additional Skill and Movement Speed.
Armor and Accessories
This build's main survivability stats revolves mainly around Armour and converting all of the physical damage you take as fire damage through Cloak of Flame Silk Robe and some passives, so stack up as much Armour on the other equipment to lay the groundwork of this build's defenses. Furthermore, it is always the best practice to obtain Maximum Life and cap out on all of the elemental resistances.
The concept of converting all the physical damage you take as Fire Damage might sound counter-intuitive, but the Goregirdle Plate Belt doubles the damage that Armour reduces. While there is a negative modifier where Physical Damage Reduction is only 50%, the fact that you are now mainly taking Fire damage means this negative prefix does not apply, essentially meaning you can reach 80-90% damage reduction for free.
As for your Accessories, obtain any rings with Evasion Rating, Maximum Life, and Full Elemental Resources to enable this build's safety net as you enter high tier maps.
| All Armors | All Accessories | All Belts |
Runes, Soul Cores, and Idols
| Equipment | Sockets |
|---|---|
| Weapon | |
| Armor |
As the build mainly scales off of Physical Damage conversion, the equipped Talisman should be slotted with Greater Iron Runes to maximize your damage output.
For your Armor, the build slots in Topotante's Soul Core of Dampening on your Gloves, Zalatl's Soul Core of Insulation on your Boots, and Hayoxi's Soul Core of Heatproofing on your Helmet to make it so that 40% of Armour applies to all Elemental Damage. As for your Body Armor, slot in The Greatwolf's Rune of Willpower to have a percentage of your damage taken by applied to Mana first, and Amanamu's Gaze to scale more Armour based on the amount of Spirit you have.

This build revolves around the use of the Bear form's core skills to make up for most of its kit, each with their own role:
- Maul - Mainly used as a supplementary way to stack Rage for Rampage and Furious Slam of Explosive Empowerment.
- Ferocious Roar - Used as a buff during your rotation, allowing for Armour Breaks and more serious damage. The Infernal Cry is also slotted in to empower Melee Attacks
- Walking Calamity - Used as both a buff for regenerating Rage and Fire Damage, as well as making mobbing easier with the additional Meteors.
- Rampage - This will be your primary source of sustained damage during boss fights and will be used after building up Rage.
- Furious Slam - This will be your main clear for mobbing alongside Walking Calamity as it has huge Burst Damage and AoE.
Apart from the main kit, Carnarius included other support skills that help round out either the build's damage or provide comfort:
- Pounce - Used primarlily a way to mark Elites and Bosses, essentially a primer for single-target damage.
- Berserk - Generally increases the effects of Rage, allowing the build to do more damage. The negative effects are not noticeable as the build uses up Rage for most of its rotation.
- Savage Fury - Provides additional damage through Fury by constantly attacking enemies.
- Charge Regulation - Given the surplus of Endurance Charges, this will generally increase your survivability.
- Herald of Ash - Allows for additional mob clearing through AoE overkill fire explosions.

| Passive Nodes | |||
| Footage taken from Path of Building. |
The notable passives that this build focuses on are the following keywords: Armour, Rage, Fire Damage, Area of Effect, Skill Duration, and Armour to Elemental Damage, as well as taking Stun nodes for additional quality-of-life. Make sure to configure the Weapon Set 1 and 2 properly as this majorly impacts the flow of the build.
On the other hand, the Ascendancy passive nodes, Avatar of Evolution and Furious Wellspring, fulfill the needs of the build in other ways. Avatar of Evolution allows you to get another means of converting Physical Damage to Elemental Damage while providing additional Adaptation. Furious Wellspring generally answers the Rage sustenance to fuel the core skills of the build!

- Use Rampage for most of your damage.
