I have a build I’m currently using around level 60 which for me is fun, but not sure how long I’ll be able to keep running it.
Roughly, I have a unique armor w/+2 to bear skills and true form bear (OT, 2 have dropped for me, not sure if it’s a common unique drop).
I have an Amulet w/the wearwolf skills count as lightning and bear’s as earth. With Nature’s Fury passive.
I use wolf skills, claw w/fierce, shred, blood howl, debilitating roar, ferocious vine creeper, rabies (not on tool, unfortunately no room for it atm), Lacerate, though I do have items that let me use Grizzaly Rage, but I’m too low level to justify transferring them atm. Also I like Lacerate’s ability to break disables etc. Most of the other skills revolve around poison w/crit strike and crit strike change to reset creeper’s active ability.
It can be a bit squishy, but generally fun to play w/shred triggering the occasional landslide etc.
Also, I prefer 2 1 handed weapon’s to single 2HW for attack speed reasons.
You’ll need Bulwark at some point.

If you mean earthen bulwark, it does proc from time to time. But, I haven’t put any points into it. That said could be a minor respec, maybe I drop rabies in the end (not even slotting it atm).
any builds using uniques besides tempest or ves ??
Are you asking me, or just a general question you’re throwing out there? If me, idk, I’m still trying different things (around level 60 atm).
I’m using unqiue armor mainly to save on skillpoints (I avoid specing in the bear/earth skills for this build). I got another item today where druid/bear abilities help w/the crit rate of the other iirc. I haven’t equipped it, since it’s lower level than my current weapon and I don’t want to waste it at this level to move it to another slightly higher power weapon.
just asking looking for something different. Seeing what ppl are experimenting with all any uses are the obvious 2 for builds.
I’ve managed to mash 3 builds together using Crone staff and Temerity. Stormclaw plus Pulverize with Bulwark and Natures Fury. It’s fun to play but I don’t this it will ever perform at a high level. Currently clearing NM dungeons in the mid 50’s.
Because it doesn’t specialize it won’t reach high end damage where you min/max every percentage point into one damage type or the other. It can also be a bit rss intensive at times as a result in those later levels were you can’t rack up the kills as quickly to benefit as often from your paragon.
As it relies on natures fury procs it can be inconsistent at times. Sometimes I can resent my bulwark and get an explosion every 2-3 skills other times I can go 10 casts or more without a reset to bulwark. Even with my bulwark extended to 9 seconds there are moments where it can be gone in a single hit and with the amount of CC in this game even 3 seconds without a way to break CC is an eternity because at high levels the enemies need only a fraction of a second to kill you.
It’s not all bad if you just want to blast your way through dungeons in the 48-50 range or rip through helltides with ease. I am close the the point of letting it go though because all I have left to do is push and a Jack of all trades build such as mine won’t get it done.
