Even at 764 corruption, this setup clears large packs quickly and can face tank most bosses with minimal dodging. Having a lot of Last Epoch gold will help you deal with bosses more easily. Thanks to strong AoE, excellent sustain, and heavy stun chance, it feels both powerful and lazy to Last Epoch gold play-perfect for players who want to smash enemies without constant micromanagement.

Core Skills

Werebear Form

This transformation is the centerpiece of the build. Important nodes to prioritize:

Storm Node – Automates Maelstrom when using Swipe.

Invigoration – Helps sustain Werebear form.

Automated Warcry – Activates whenever you Rampage.

Insatiable – Provides global critical strike chance, boosting all damage.

Earthquake

Used primarily through idols that automate Aftershocks. Key upgrades:

Increased Area Multiplicative Damage – Especially effective against chilled enemies.

Stun Chance – Creates frequent interrupts against bosses.

Warcry

Another automated ability that boosts survivability and damage.

Shallow Breath – Reduces cooldown, syncing perfectly with Rampage.

Berserker – Increases attack speed and damage.

Bringer of Winter – Ensures 100% chill chance, which synergizes with Earthquake's damage bonus.

Maelstrom

Provides Frenzy, Haste, a slow chance, and health scaling. With high attack speed, you can easily stack 10–15 Maelstroms for massive stun chance and defensive buffs.

Swipe (Lightning Variant)

The main damage dealer. Focus on nodes that enhance lightning scaling and crit:

Wrath of the Wild Storm – Multiplicative lightning damage and penetration.

Aspect of the Panther Twin Fangs – Seven stacks provide attack speed, regen, and critical strike multiplier (up to 168% while dual wielding).

Multiplicative Damage vs. Slowed Enemies – Synergizes perfectly since nearly all enemies are slowed by Earthquake or Maelstrom.

Passive Tree

At level 100, you have room to experiment, but here's a recommended structure:

Primalist Base Tree: Attunement, strength, resistances, health regen, dual-wielding bonuses. Take a leech if you need more sustain.

Shaman: Necessary to unlock Earthquake. Grab attunement, penetration, and attack speed while totems are active.

Druid: Focus on elemental penetration while transformed, crit chance, attack speed, and strength scaling.

Beastmaster: Damage reduction, strength, and Natural Fortitude for strong regen scaling.

If you don't want to invest in health regen, you can redirect points into Cornered Beast, Wisdom, or Impervious for more damage reduction and penetration.

Blessings Idols

Blessings: Defensive options are the safest choice-armor, resistances, and health regen. If your gear already caps resists, consider offensive blessings like critical strike multiplier.

Idols:

Thorn Totem Idols – Required if you're not using Claw Totem. These provide an on-hit chance to summon a totem, which boosts attack speed and works with Mantle of the Pale Ox.

Aftershock Idols – Great for cheap Last Epoch gold stacking extra Earthquake procs. The more you have, the more frequent and devastating your AoE bursts become.
