Aspect of the Umbral: This is a general use aspect found in Champion's Demise of Dry Steppes that restores Spirit when crowd controlling enemies, which you'll be doing with Poison Creeper and many of your earth skills.Aspect of Mending Stone: This is a later aspect in the Sealed Archives, Dry Steppes which lengthens the duration of Earthen Bulwark and restores Barrier per kill with earth skills.Aspect of the Ursine Horror: This is a big one to prioritize grabbing from Belfry Zakara in Hawezar, which turns Pulverize into an earth skill and summons additional tectonic spikes.


The ultimate ability Grizzly Rage for a damage boost is best used in groups where successive kills will extend its effects. Poison Creeper's passive ability poisons an enemy in the area every seven seconds but when activated can immobilize and poison all surrounding enemies, a crowd control skill that can help wipe groups. Maul as the basic skill is negotiable in most variations of this build, so feel free to grab either Earth Spike or Storm Strike instead if they feel better. Using Pulverize and Trample as active skills while keeping Earthen Bulwark active as often as possible is going to be the primary focus for playing this build.

For leveling purposes, the Pulverize Druid is a current crowd favorite build for survivability and a lot of earth-based damage.
