Plagueshifter 2.0 – Level 45-75 Guide

Build Overview

This is the endgame version of my poison landslide druid. We are able to cover the entire screen with Landslides with this build and it is amazing at speed clearing and pushing content! Enjoy

Skills & Spirit Boons

Build Updates(last updated July 24th):

• BIG BUILD REALIZATION. So This is on me but I didn’t realize that landslide is a nature magic skill. Dingus moment on my part. This is massive for the build because it let’s us use calm before the storm to very quickly reset the cooldown of our ultimate skill. The final decision for the best ultimate skill is… Petrify. Cataclysm has a very high lucky hit chance but that is over the course of the 19 seconds, not every hit. Cataclysm gives us more survivability and more damage. BOTH are great so I strongly recommend messing around with both to see which you like more but at the end of the day I will be sticking with Petrify. Apologies for the confusion there.
• No longer using trample aspect on the weapon, swapped trample to amulet and core damage while fortified to 2-hander. See Aspects section for more
• Adding A section and separate skill tree for the Crone’s Staff for those that have it.

Spirit Boons:

• Wariness
• Avian Wrath
• Packleader & Calamity
• Calm Before The Storm
