About

The Boulder Druid is a high-damage, "unkillable" tank build from Screamheart has been updated for the Lord of Hatred expansion. This build centers on the Boulder skill mechanic that allows Boulders to spin around you as core skills while maintaining near-permanent survivability through fortify and barriers.

The build scales damage through the new Resolve stacks and ensures infinite resources through specific unique item interactions.. By utilizing the Dolman’s Will passive, Boulders act as core skills that orbit the player, removing the need for complex setups from previous seasons.

Gameplay Rotation

  • Spirit Management: Use Claw to dash between enemies and generate initial Spirit. Once you activate your runes through combat, Tibault’s Will provides massive Spirit generation, allowing you to maintain your Boulder orbits.

  • Damage Setup: Cast Hurricane to gain movement speed and weaken enemies. Because Hurricane is modified into a core skill, it stays active and automatically applies Vulnerable via the Overcharged aspect.

  • Main Offense: Spam Boulder to create up to five orbiting rocks. Each hit generates 20% of your maximum life as Fortify, making you nearly impossible to kill as long as you are attacking.

  • Ultimate: Activate Grizzly Rage for a 200% damage multiplier, armor, and Berserking.

  • Defense: Use Debilitating Roar as an "emergency button" to reduce incoming damage and increase survival if you take a heavy hit.
