What is best weapon for pulvarize druid? Im hearing axe, mace and staff not sure which is best.

Also last night i got really lucky and found insatiable fury and vasy's helm which is awesome for my pulvarize build. But then i also found Crone staff.

Should i switch from pulvarize because i found crone or is pulvarize good now that i have those two uniques?

vasilys is not in any way required to play pulverize.... but helps a ton if youre also using grizzle rage.
insatiable fury just makes any bear build better until you need more survivabilty from your chest slot to pusher higher nightmare dungeons...

when playing pulverize i strongly recommend the Ursine Horror aspect to easily tie pulverize into cc effects, by also using something like the QuickSand aspect

now for pulverize, and 2handers, i think 2h-axes are the best, for the intrinsic stat %dmg to healthy monsters... youre going to be one shotting alot of mobs, so that stat will be applied to your one and only hit on trash mobs.
on a first hit, they may not be cc'd, and you may not land an overpower hit... so idk, this is how i see it. but honestly i run a 1hander and offhand for an extra legendary aspect.

and for single target dps and with boss' getting a big life boost coming with the next patch, as a pulverize druid you will probably want to run dungeons that have no boss fights at all...

Ty info. D4builds shows the endgame pulvarize build using vasys and insatiable fury so that is why i figured i'd just stay pulvarize. I got them both the same night lol and once i put them on there was a lot less of a mana problem so it fealt good. But if Im going to have to replace them anyway i think ill just switch to bulwark build with crone. I think the bulwark build is good for pvp too right?

for pvp, i havent got a clue. not enough time spent there, sry.

but i mean, with the d4 works, you really only have 1 maybe 2 good damage dealing skills in any particular build, so you should have space to run some sort of a defensive skill. if youre not using bulwark, you ought to be using cyclone armor... i prefer bulwark.

if you review all the popular builds, they all have to room sneak in either cyclone or bulwark.

so naturally bulwark kinda makes vasilys more or less necessary... since you want access to earth skills while in bear form.

You won’t regret it. It may even be better than werenado. Once I get that stupid scroll of amnesia I was going to switch to werenado to compare. Been saving the gear for it, but if I do that and I want to switch back that’s a lot of gold…

I wonder if anyone’s compared the two. I did werenado in eternal, and the new trampleslide is better, but I haven’t done werenado with the new hearts yet.
