Hi All,
Recently i noticed Blizz up’d the dmg for pulverize by 75% if i’m not wrong. Not sure how you players feel in pits thus i’m really struggling. I have over 70k dmg and 18k Armor.
When i get to the end boss of a pit it takes a long time to kill whilst using pulverize dmg in alignment with poison and natures magic dmg paragons. Killing packs is smooth but the end pit boss always takes working to kill compared to other niche class’s.
Is anyone else feeling the same about Pulvi build on Pit boss’s or is it just me doing something wrong.
regards
D4 Fan.
Way too much armor, only need 9230. Move that to health, resistances, or damage.

I was playing pulverize to start with on my Druid and had the same experience. I switched to a wind shear build, and it’s much stronger. I’ve seen some people say they did 100+ tier in the pit with pulverize Druid, but I don’t know what they had in their build. I never got nearly that high.
dats alot of armor u dont need!
Main stat scaling is pretty bad, they are often time the last thing you want when you can’t get Crit, Crit dmg, vul or other attack stats.
I am also playing Pulverize Druid. Have 38k damage, 55k Health, armour is capped.
I have done Pit 104 so far. Might be able to push a couple more but it is taking me too much time to get the Boss. And yes, I need time too for the Boss fight. I am not doing enough damage.
You have a build at 70k dmg. Maybe there is still room for improvement for me.
Use Wind Shear as your basic so you can combo Earth/Storm magic for another multiplier.
It was a big early mistake I made in S1 just going pure Earth. The damage increases substantially when you do (assuming you also take the Talents/Paragon ofc).
Your issue is you are playing a pulverize druid. They dont have the scaling as a ton of people have mentioned. Just no way around it
Pulv looks great, feels great, performs poorly at peak power relative to other builds.
Lightning clears better AOE and arguably equivalent on the single target at helltides and nm100.
If I had to pick one for helltides, I’d use lightning build.
Pits…well…if you arne’t clearing the pits under 3-4 minutes at around 90-101, you probably need a different build or class.
I farm on barb and spend on druid.
wind daddy cleared 81 under 4 minutes pre patch, so I am sure it’s 91-101 now.
Managed to get one of those funny hoods everyone seems to be wearing and replaced my Godslayer’s. Clearing the Pit seems a bit easier but taking down the boss a bit longer.
For Pit 90-101, I need 5-7 minutes depending on the monsters I have to deal with.
Did Pit 105 but needed the 15 min. The game was vicious enough to give me the Sharpshooter as the final boss and I died a couple of times during the fight. I didn’t try higher yet. Pushing the Pit is not an obsession. I will do it when I am in the mood for that.
