Hey guys,
I’m quite new on druid, and since I just found dolmen amulet, i’m interested in boulder build.
I know it’s labeled as “bugged build”, but how buggy is it ? I mean, is this build really not playable at all, or could it still be viable but weaker that it would be once it get fixed?
Should be fixed as of 1.4.1 (May 28th)
Curious about this myself. Anyone confirm this?
Unplayable at best.
The main issue is the tempering affix not being applied,
Also seems there are limitations of active boulders that actually does damage.
[What I tested was maximum 5 boulders]
Just an underpowered bugged build. Do not use it until blizzard fixes this

Well, tbh I switched to this build to try it out myself. From what I’ve read the main bugs were boulders being “released” once hurricane ends, and double cast from tempering not working.
Regarding boulders released once hurricane ends, I’m not really sure its a bug, since it makes sense that the hurricane “carries” the boulders that then revolve around your toon. Once it’s gone, boulders are free to go ! Dunno how it worked on S3 but doesnt look like a bug to me.
Regarding tempering, it also seems to work since sometimes I cast it twice. It’s not easy to see while hurricane is up btw, since the 2 boulders are almost entierely on top of each others . Just cast it without hurricane, you’ll see it.
Have you tested on the target dummy? the extra projectile from tempering does not do any damage. It acts like a ghost and looks like its floating around, but actually doing nothing. Can you test it again and confirm this?
From what ive seen from Aceofspades it is a ghost projectile. His solution was to just roll hurricane duration instead so you can atleast keep that perma up. This effectively cuts the damage in half. It can still be a fun build and do well in end game content. With the proper gear it shouldnt have a problem clearing pit 61.
There is a recurring theme that Blizz devs are implementing, and its not good. Every season 1-2 classes get major buffs and development focus. This causes them to be significantly OP’d compared to the rest. Druid this season is not one of those classes and I’d honestly play something else until next season until they fix all of the bugs. As dumb as this approach is it is what it is. There is a lot of things that need fixing with the class after the latest implementations.
