- Cast as needed for damage, damage reduction, and Fortify.

- Cast for Spirit to fuel Pulverize and for Healing—also to trigger .

- Spam for damage and to keep yourself in Werebear form as much as possible for the Key Passive

requires keeping in Werebear form as much as possible to take advantage of the benefits, which is why you want to Pulverize as much as you can while running around zapping enemies.

increases our damage vs. Distant (this build has a very long reach, and it also adds to our Thunderstruck Legendary node). further increases our damage while Healthy, on top of what we get from our Key Passive, and rewards us for having high Movement Speed.

takes advantage of us using three Defensive Skills to ensure this damage boost is nearly always on.

gives us a big extension on both Hurricane and Cataclysm duration.

Shouldnt this be using "provocation" to guarantee overpower?

Comment by rgomids

Hey, just a heads up: it's currently not possible to use two of the same rune (like Igni) on different items in Diablo 4. The system only allows one of each rune to be equipped at a time, so equipping two Ignis (e.g., on armor and weapon) won't work. Might be good to clarify that in the build to avoid confusion. Thanks for the guide!

Thank you for sharing this build guide. I tried the build and think it is solid. I made a couple tweaks and worked in provocation which made a difference.
