Hey guys, i try to find some working lightning druid build for ultimate runs.
I composed this build with devotions: http://grimcalc.com/build/Nqo7u2
I expect:
-High AOE DMG
-decent single target DMG
-decent survivability
-rather bad mobility - will try to stack as much movement speed as possible
As i play during leveling i find this build very squishy and i`m not sure that building more and more resists, armor, etc. will be enough for good survivability in higher difficulties.
So i have been planning to try melee two-hand lightning druid with some “dmg convert to health” stat with the most possible attack speed.
For reach that, there should helps some talents (Feral Hunger, Devouring Swarm), devotions (mainly -Ghoul, Revenant, Kraken and also Jackal for additional attack speed bonus) and items as well.
I would be very grateful for your opinions and suggestions for my idea.
At the very least, drop the entire line with brute force. Maybe keep one point in brute force, but get rid of Feral Hunger and Upheaval. Neither of those proc off of Primal Strike. Perhaps try dumping those points into Wendigo totem (it’s amazing, just max it).
Don’t bother with Overload, you will have over 1200% lightning bonus from items in the late game, 90% makes no difference.
As stated, max Wendigo since it’s extremely effective at keeping you alive.
Feral hunger and upheaval don’t work with Primal strike, either go Savagery or drop them.
Storm totem is useless, Wind devil (Maelstrom) is much better if you really need a pseudo-pet.
Tsunami is shit compared to Falcom for your main attack proc.
You need widow for the resistance reduction (take one level of Grasping vines to proc it if going Primal)
All this said, Druid is pretty meh for a melee char atm, too many nerfs on the sphere. Here’s my (horribly unoptimized) 2hander lightning setup:
I use savagery, so numbers might seem a bit low, but OA goes to 2500 with permanent procs (rings, savagery) and dps up to 38k with full charges. DA is over 2200, so even Fabius can’t crit me. It doesn’t kill as fast as a Blademaster or Saboteur or and aether caster, but i find it almost impossible to die. Falcon swoop on savagery, Aether bomb on Upheaval (it triggers it surprisingly often, though I might pick up a point in Vines for procing it on bosses).
