Ye poison creeper trample slide with bulwark and cronestaff is really strong.

I cant find tempest either.

Yeah I’m running trampleslide atm but I’m curious how the upcoming mob density buffs and boss Hp buffs will affect things.

Something like pulverize that sucks against bosses will be impacted on that end, but pulverize+inexhorable force is one of the best AoE density clear specs in the game and will see a definite benefit on that end. I guess we wait and see.

dungeons with no bosses will be top tier, or rather i think they will be for builds with mediocre single target damage.
i run both pulverize and trampleslide at the moment, and havent yet run into single target issues. you get the right buffs up and use trample, the landslide dmg is pretty nuts.
inexhorable is putting in alot of work for sure. my friend who plays rogue isnt a fan, the mobs get tossed around too much, haha.

Yeah I’ve been running pure poisontrampleslide but not pulverize and no grizzly rage. I have a vasilys so similar to OP I’ve considered respec’ing just because lots of uptime on grizzly rage+inexhorable just looks fun as hell.

I may give it a shot. Ty sir.

you definately need the aspect that makes pulverize an earth skill (Ursine Horror). it may be more of a requirement than Vasilys honestly. it will make Pulverize interact with alot more aspects and nodes in your skill tree.
Ursine Horror + Shockwave + Quicksand + Umbral is quite strong. the spirit regen is nice, but i dropped umbral to run trampleslide aspects on my rings.

with where you are now, you may not want switch to grizzly rage until you atleast get the rampaging werebeast aspect which extends it duration and stacks crit hit dmg.
will also need to make sure to swap boons for added duration and getting reduced cooldown off crit hits. (calamity + calm before the storm)

Yeah I have a handful of rampaging werebeast aspects kicking around in my stash atm. It just didn’t make sense to use grizzly rage with poison trampleslide as some of the skills can’t be activated while in grizzly rage. But if shifting over to pulverize more (and now with vasilys) will make that easier I would imagine. Ty!
