Overview
This is a min-maxed endgame Druid Wyvern-form build tuned to melt 200% Delirium maps. The creator’s focus is the late-league version: more damage and far more tankiness than the leveling/starter variant, achieved by dropping a defensive ring slot in favour of explosion and damage scaling. The core kill mechanic is armour-breaking attacks that let mobs detonate from “hero eye”-style explosions, which is why packs evaporate so quickly in dense Delirium.
Defensively the build leans into what the Druid does well — stacking energy shield alongside armour and evasion rather than chasing raw life. With high increased-ES gear (the creator highlights boots giving ~1,300 ES from a 324 base) the character treats life as a mana pool and energy shield as the real health pool, since skills run on Blood Magic and pay their cost in life. Initial ES recharge and recharge-delay nodes, plus the Sage’s Rune of recovery, keep that shield topping up constantly.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Melts 200% Delirium — huge AoE clear in the hardest map content
- Very tanky: layered ES + armour + evasion with fast ES recharge
- Armour-break explosions snowball pack clear
- Infinite power-charge setup keeps buffs and recharge online
Cons
- Min-maxed and gear-hungry — not a cheap setup
- Blood Magic means skills cost life, so low-life moments can be dangerous if mismanaged
- Spirit budgeting is fiddly (Berserk and buff costs require careful scepter/amulet spirit stacking)
- Berserk’s rage drain constantly chips your life, demanding active flask/leech play
Key Skills
- Wyvern Form — the shapeshift that delivers the build’s armour-breaking attacks
- Berserk — major more-damage buff scaling with rage (offset by life degen)
- Purity Scepter (e.g. Purity of Ice) — hosts spirit-cost support gems via a no-spirit-cost interaction
- Vitality / Cannibalism / Herbalism — life-recovery support to survive Blood Magic + rage drain
Gear & Anointments
Prioritise high increased-energy-shield bases with armour/evasion, plus initial ES recharge and recharge-delay. A purity scepter (the creator uses Purity of Ice) lets you slot spirit-hungry supports cheaply; budget roughly 180 spirit total (e.g. ~50 on the amulet, ~210 on the scepter to offset the 50% less-spirit nodes). Runs Blood Magic, so favour life recovery and leech. Exact uniques and rolls should be confirmed against the source video and the creator’s POB.
Endgame Notes
The whole build is framed around pushing 200% Delirium and other heavily juiced content where its armour-break explosions and tankiness pay off, while still pulling raw divines from breach.
