Hey, I am doing pulverize build atm, level 96, doing pretty good, up to 4m op crits.
But I see videos of light storm builds just pwning.
Is it so much better? Pulverize single damage is depressing.
I have both the uniques for the storm build, tempest and the other one. WDYT?
Was thinking the same but going from lightning to pulverize… Lightning seems like a glass cannon…have gear for both.
It’s not that great for bosses but it’s really good for farming vaults
Not true. My LS druid can take down uber Duriel in about 5 seconds. LS is really strong but yes, you are a bit squishy.
I seem to be getting progressively more squishy as I add uniques to the build. That’s how the devs want you to play though. You give up a lot of DR once you go full werewolf on this build, but can get some back through +armor while WW on your boots and ammy.
Base armor for me in WW form is at 13.2K at the moment, but I gave up armor and 3 DR rolls to run mad wolf chest. My next two items for debate are Tibaults and Flickerstep. I have 3DR and +armor on my pants and that’s a ton of DR to lose. Dropping my boots means losing 2 resists and my WW armor. I’m not sure I will drop either of them at this point as it’s too much of a loss.
That’s a flaw with the game design. Too much kiss/curse with the real game changing items. All unique armor should come with +armor rolls and base DR at minimum. Instead it comes front loaded with offensive stats and requires other unique items to juice up to the point where full glass cannon becomes viable.
If this were a single player, offline game I would agree. I think the game is designed completely around group play, where you may have a “tank” aggro the mobs (some high armor, high aggro player) while the DPS fire from the back relatively safely. I could be imagining this but it seems like this was a principal design idea at some point in the past.
I changed to ls, doesn’t seem so great tbh, also its super squishy, but I will keep testing it, hope I wont die(playing hc).
I wish there was a way to get pulverize better single target. If any1 know a way, please say 
Lookup screamheart build for quickshift pulverize. You can get really bursty damage so long as you line up your overpower procs within the petrify window. It will one shot most bosses. I used it last season to beat Uber Lilith. The playstyle is a bit different but you can get a couple huge multipliers on the build enabling it to hit for 7-8million per pulverize. With proper positioning you can get double hits with shockwave at 7-8mil each for 15 million+ damage. That is more than sufficient for any boss in the game. You don’t need to be hitting billions to one shot bosses.
I changed back to pulverize, ls is too squishy and slow.
I do 5m OP crits, tho its hard for me to time them… Malphas son takes forever uff…
I hope to get to 8-10 mil crits when Optimized.
How do you time the OP crits right?
