Build Summary

This will likely be the best Gauntlet build for Druid.

This is the fastest Druid build in the game and it's also extremely strong with solid survivability. Kill Lilith's phase 1 in under 2 seconds and clear an entire Vault in under 2-3 minutes. You will not regret using this build!

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop
  1. Kill an enemy with Shred.
  2. Kill the rest.
  3. Trample to the next group.
  4. Petrify is great for large groups, armored groups, elite packs, and bosses.
  5. Ravens can be used for extra critical strike chance.
How It Works

This build is designed to stack damage into Shred and zip around the screen effortlessly. Using Hunter's Zenith allows us to remove the cooldown from Trample and Debilitating Roar. This not only makles the build satisfying to play due to some learning curve, but it also allows for even more speed, damage, and survivability!

  • Your companions are only in the build to increase Shred damage, but Ravens can increase your critical strike chance.

  • You can snapshot the damage of Retaliation to deal even more damage.

  • Use Bestial Rampage for bossing. Make sure you use time before the boss spawns and during breaks in the fight to get and refresh the damage buff while Werebear.

  • Use Scythe Talons spirit boon for bossing.

  • You can play a stronger and faster advanced version of the build by dropping Debilitating Roar and going Poison Creeper. This will add 9.1% damage increase from Shepherd's aspect and reduce the need for resets from Hunter's Zenith for a smoother gameplay loop. Obviously this means taking more damage and requires a better player to succeed. You can remove the passive points in Vigilance and put them into Trample.

  • You can use Resource tuning stone in place of Safeguard if you have spirit issues or you can use Efficiency for more boss damage.

  • Use 2h Axe or Staff implicit. 2h Axe does more initial and boss damage, 2h Staff has more attack speed.
