How the Build Works
The first thing to understand about this build is how strong Overpower damage is this season in Diablo 4. Currently, this build has an 833% damage increase when I overpower enemies plus another 130% if I do it with a werebear skill, which is pulverize. Plus, if I hit a vulnerable enemy and get a critical strike, I’ve got another 110% critical damage and 31% crit chance (base). This build, while leveling, has already hit over a million damage with just Pulverize!
In order to Overpower as much as possible we need three things. 1) Obsidian Slam Spirit Boon – Every 20th kill will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower. 2) Blood Boil vampiric power – Every 30 seconds, your next Skill is guaranteed to Overpower. You also drop volatile blood drops when you overpower. 3) Pulverize – Your next Pulverize will Overpower every 12 seconds while you remain Healthy. That may not sound like a lot, but in action, you’ll be overpowering a lot.
Full explanation in the video below, I highly recommend watching it for an in-depth breakdown of the build.
