Introduction

This unstoppable Druid shapeshifts into its Werebear Form to brutally charge across the battlefield while surrounded by deadly Cold Damage Over Time Spells. Move fast around the map with Rampage and use Maul to cast Entangling Roots; a giant AoE that Immobilizes enemies in place and deals DoT Damage.

This build also has ways to proc Maelstroms while in Werebear Form. Use Roar for its amazing buffs and Swipe at the enemies to cast additional Spells. Thanks to the Wisened Claws Node, this Druid can weaponize Strength stacking. This is an incredibly tanky build that has access to tons of Health, Armour and Damage Reduction.

This setup doesn't require any Unique to function and performs great even without good gear. However, Items like Throne of Ambition, Aurora's Time Glass and Eterra's Path are amazing for the build.

Overall the Cold DoT Werebear is a powerful build capable of defeating all the content in the game. It's easy to play, clears Echoes super fast and is extremely tanky, therefore perfect for Hardcore. If you are looking for a solid beginner friendly build with a Cooldown based playstyle, this setup is perfect for you!
