Season 5 Druid Updates

In Season 5, Druids can expect major changes and improvements. The damage of several attacks has almost doubled, including Landslide, shred pulverize, tornado, lightning storm, and hurricane. These buffs will greatly enhance all Druid builds and push them forward. Additionally, debilitating Roar’s damage reduction has been reduced from 70% to 40%, but Earth and ballark now have a higher barrier scaling on maximum life instead of base life. Companion builds also receive a boost with Shepherd’s aspect, which increases companion skill damage by 20% per companion. The legendary Paragon node Su struck remains at 40%, while the glyphs human prot VOR, we bear, and werewolf each raise their damage reduction from 10% to 15%. Overall, the Druid class has become much stronger in Season 5, offering exciting possibilities for players.

Speedclear Build & Endless Cataclysm

The speedclear build showcased in the video revolves around the new uni gloves and the endless cataclysm mechanic. The uni gloves add 100% increased damage as long as cataclysm is active and provide infinite spirit for the duration. The strategy is to maintain 100% uptime on cataclysm to constantly have double damage and not worry about resources. This is achieved by using spirit Boon Calamity to increase the duration and incorporating cooldown reduction. The flicker step skill is used to reset the cooldown by hitting five monsters, ensuring continuous cataclysm uptime. The build also allows for the use of other core skills like shred pulverize, lightning storm, and Landslide, with tornadoes being the chosen skill for area clearing. With better weapons, players can even speed clear level 100 pits. It’s an incredibly powerful build that maximizes damage and offers a thrilling gameplay experience.
